Can you post back the output of....

cat /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf

&

gsettings list-recursively x.dm.slick-greeter

This is just to check if there is something funky in your settings that could be causing the issue.

maybe it's not appropriate to go around calling it that. Ya think? LOL, best have a chat with Mark Shuttleworth - he named it Bionic....18.10 is going to be Cosmic (Cuttlefish) - there are a lot of not linux related results in a search for Cosmic Software bionic packages or ubuntu bionic software o...

I came across this application the other day which I think should meet your needs. apt install easystroke xdotool Easystroke is a GUI app - find it in the menu once installed. It allows you to use mouse gestures to run various commands (including xdotool commands to simulate key presses). In the exa...

Use tab as tab

gsettings set org.x.editor.preferences.editor insert-spaces false

Turn off word wrap

gsettings set org.x.editor.preferences.editor wrap-mode 'none'

click on Update Manager does NOT leave a trail for you to follow

Good checklist - and just to prove I read it all - there are apt logs that record Update Manager output if you know where to look...

Namely - /var/log/apt/term.log, /var/log/apt/history.log & /var/log/dpkg.log

but it deletes the background at the login screen, instead there are just white dots on a black background.

Has anyone tried rclone ? It says it works with Dropbox and looks pretty easy to install (they've got .debs). I don't use Dropbox or sync to the cloud myself so I don't need it, but I know some folks who might. Cheers! Fred Been using rclone for a couple of years as a Google Drive client. Works rea...

OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0, 256 bits) You are running a software rendering session. I take it you are not getting a warning on login regarding software rendering? Assuming not, log off, and on the login screen click the Cinnamon icon next to your user name and double-check that the regula...

Hi, See my post here https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=274211&p=1503754&hilit=Scrollbars#p1503754 It was in response to someone wanting to widen the scrollbars, but the same code blocks have the Color definitions in as well. If you get stuck shout and I will provide more specific as...

Hi, Check your browser's 3D acceleration settings. I've got similar hardware and no issues with browser video playback in Chrome other than a bit of a hike in CPU usage with 3D acceleration active in Chrome. There are some video acceleration helper packages not installed by default which may also he...

This is being worked on....it's not universal, I don't have the issue

See https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4324

I'm someone who doesn't recommend Bleachbit. It's defaults for what is 'useless' or not are not great and it's deleted stuff I later found I needed in the past. A relatively safe system cleaner (nothing is checked by default) should you feel the need to run one is Stacer, also has lots of other usef...

Have either of you tried Stacer? > https://github.com/oguzhaninan/Stacer

Looks like it can do the same sort of thing as systemd-manager along with it's other functions (system monitor, pretty safe system cleaner).

there is a few things that you can try out:

Cinnamon xlet updates are not via the repos, the relevant settings modules (Themes, Applets, Desklets, Extensions) poll the Cinnamon Spices website directly.

OP - try disabling IPv6 in your network settings to see if that makes any difference.

You recommend Lollypop, which had a dead web page, isn't listed in the Mint repositories for some reason that is probably valid, and requires a ppa which installs a FlatPak, which you did not care to mention. What makes you think the Lollypop PPA installs a flatpak? It installs a Deb same as any ot...

Yep Ctrl= and Crtl- don't work on the desktop only in nemo itself.. This is not as easy as it really should be. Unfortunately there is no straightforward cli command to invoke this change, but it is scriptable albeit the method is an ugly hack. This basic script would work OK if align to grid and au...

What's the location in the file system of the image you are using? If under your home folder is your home encrypted? If yes then you need to move the image in question out of home and to another location in the file system - a custom made folder in /opt/ is a good choice - so that slick-greeter can ...

Time for a personal Memtest. :wink: .... The 17.3 to 18 upgrade path was a similar process to the 18.3 to 19. Only point release upgrades are offered via Update Manager Mint 17.3 to 18 https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2316 Mint 18.3 to 19 https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2416

I guess it can be if you are not familiar with Ubuntu development. As a Mint user it is a good idea to have some familiarity. Eg Mint 19 is based on Bionic, Mint 18.x on Xenial, Mint 17.x on Trusty etc. The codenames are used for naming repositories so it's handy to know if a particular third party ...

Bionic (Beaver) is the codename for Ubuntu 18.04 in this context.
