I am trying to scan a Costco bill roughly 2 1/2" by 10". Using Xsane previews it automatically and borders the whole bill, but when I scan the results are only the top couple of inches.

Forget it; I formatted and am reloading everything, but this time I won't rely on Timeshift. Thanks for the replies. Before formatting I tried installing 19.1 fresh and it wouldn't go past the "Where are you" map; in Windows now and will try a Mint 19.1 install later. If it still hangs I'll go back ...

All of a sudden no keyboard on Dell Inspiron laptop. I'm on my PC now. Keyboard is fine in Windows; so it's Mint. I can't even use Timeshift as I can't type in the password. I just upped to 19.1. If there are any solutions here great; otherwise I'll either re-install or replace an old image with Acr...

It seems I have a similar problem periodically shutting down Mint. It hangs on the ming icon. Now I think it is after I have used the printer. On the shut down hang I hit the esc key and see a line denoting a problem shutting sown CUPS. Edit: Just found the following showing and error yesterday: W [...

Doesn't work.

The following is not a question and maybe I'm posting it in the wrong place. Anyways I did a lot of searching around to find a way to increase my efi partiion. Eventually I tried this and it worked. I was having problems on the previous installation; one was numerous ACHI errors on boot up, which se...

I like Sticky notes because it loads in former place setting on boot up, but if I change background colour from default I can't select text to copy and paste; weird. With the default white background it's fine, but if I change to say a yellow background; can no longer select text. This is on Linux M...

Just installed Mint 19. Xpad has always since inception been on my desktop. Now though there is no title bar and i cannot move it to where i want it.

Downloaded another copy this time it worked.

Nope still doesn't work. UEFI is such a pain in the @#$
I just can't figure why the Mint 18 works OK.

Try >>> Boot Mint 18 and use the USB image writer to burn the 19 ISO to a (different) USB!

I did fail to mention the Mint 19 USB wouldn't boot to my PC with UEFI either. I've tried Unebootin to make the USB. I'll give USB Image writer a try.

I made a UEFI USB bootable using Rufus for the new Mint 19, but my Dell Inspiron 15 - 5578 won't boot to it. I can still boot to the Mint 18 USB which was created the same way using Rufus. So is there some difference with the Mint 19 booting format?

Well yes; when I was following the instructions, one instruction was to install the openvpn amd got the message that the latest was already installed. Thanks anyways. That is a huge speed drop from 160 to 12. I'll check the link you posted though.

I just signed on with Nord VPN. I am on my PC wired network and my DL speed is 160Mbps. I followed all the instruction on installing OpenVPN and Nord. When I got it going my speed was down to 12Mbps in Mint. When I booted to Windows 10 and did the simple Nord VPN install my speed there was 111Mbps; ...

Did three reboots with the same results. Upgraded kernel to v4.14.15; same results: ~ $ dmesg | grep -i "error\|warn\|fail" [ 0.015759] ACPI Warning: Unsupported module-level executable opcode 0x70 at table offset 0x33CDA (20170728/psloop-247) [ 0.015767] ACPI Warning: Unsupported module-level execu...

Yikes this doesn't look too good; I must have done something wrong. allan@AllansPC ~ $ dmesg | grep -i "error\|warn\|fail" [ 0.014410] ACPI Warning: Unsupported module-level executable opcode 0x70 at table offset 0x33CDA (20170531/psloop-242) [ 0.014417] ACPI Warning: Unsupported module-level execut...

I recently took the plunge and shrunk my laptop ssd drive to accommodate Mint. Actually I am a long time Mint user, but was a bit nervous dealing with the new UEFI format. Anyways it all went well. Also my ageing PC crashed and I built a new one with a B360 HD3 MB and an i5-8400 CPU with 16GB RAM. I...

I don't think I'm that bad. Just did a typing test and am 20 wpm. I just think I'm fat fingering a key and sending the cursor elsewhere. If I remember to hold my hads off the laptop frame I can avoid this.

I find the cursor takes off into a previous part of the text I am typ (just did then) ing. I know I'm fat fingered and no speed typist. I use all fingers, but not the quickest. I have the mouse touchpad disabled while typing. Twice during this message the cursor has gone to a previous part of the te...
