New Nvidia card, need to uninstall manually installed driver.

Hi all whats the best way to uninstall the drivers for my old nVIDIA GEFORCE GT 610. Back in the day, I would just run RM xorg.conf, boot up and install the new driver. Will that work? Just trying to prevent hosing my system. Or will just doing a kernel update with no DKMS do the trick?

Thanks

Re: Replacement KDE distros... Feedback here!

Well after 12 years of mint, I moved to Kubuntu. Gotta have my KDE Plasma. Been a fun ride, if Mint decides to do Plasma, I will take another look.

Cheers! :mrgreen:

Re: Card reader [SOLVED]

I bought another card reader and it works, so it was a hardware problem.

Re: Card reader

So this is a dead end, or my hardware is not working? Years ago it would not work either.

Re: Highlight and paste not working in FireFox 69.0

Turns out it's actually my mouse button, I have to press it extra hard I guess? Or it was the latest update that fixed it for me?

Mine is set to true, and once again not working, maybe a plugin instead of an addon?

Re: Highlight and paste not working in FireFox 69.0

Works fine here on 69.0. I.e., selecting your text below and center-button pasting into this reply box:
Works here too, I disabled all of my add ons, now to find the culprit? :?:

Still using Mint 18.2 KDE. Will use it until they pry my cold dead hands from the keyboard, or until updates stop. Whichever comes first. :?

Thanks for the reply, from the recovery I got errors like, try --fix-missing and auto update. Neither of them worked, luckily I had /home on a separate partition and a fresh install and update was pretty painless.

Install desktop from recovery

Is there any way to install the KDE desktop from recovery? I am on mint 18.2, I got a screensaver error, when I uninstalled screensaver, it uninstalled the entire KDE environment.

Thanks

Re: Upgrade to Sylvia 18.3

Is my desktop going to go back to a default install, or stay as it was the way I customized with panels and other tweaks?
