Linux Mint Forums

ok..reverted the bios back to 17.1 that you had linked to. I am using an older kernel : 5.15.0-87 from 5.15.0-102 inxi -Fxxxmprz System: Kernel: 5.15.0-87-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.4.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 6.0.4 tk: GTK 3.24.33 wm: muffin vt: 7 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 21...

The monitors at first go to showing the clock bouncing around..assume that is Mint's screensaver...the monitors then go black and the power lights on them flash like they are waiting to be woken up. A simple move of the mouse and the lights come back on and usually lately I am running in fallback mo...

Please also check and verify in the Power Management app that you do not have the computer set to suspend. It's unusual for Cinnamon to crash if you are not doing anything and the computer is still running. Under power management : Power options: Turn off screen when inactive for : 30 minutes Suspe...

OK..I was given the MB and processor like 5 years ago by my son. He bought a newer system. I have never updated the bios, so no I have no idea how the version # is higher than the latest version. It was having cooling issues, so I bought a water cooler, added an ssd and ram, and have used it as my r...

Just got back to my pc, and was in fallback mode and cinnamon has crashed again.

Ok.. So yes there was a setting in my bios where I could designate integrated or pag. I haven't been able to access my bios in a while. So here's what I did. I turned off my pc. I took the hdmi cable plugged into the display port on the GTX680 and plugged it into the built in HDMI on the motherboard...

just the screens. It looks like you ran the terminal command instead of getting the system information from the System Reports app. (That inxi command is not the equivalent of what is used for system information despite spamegg writing it as if it is.) Let's get some more graphics info because this...

just the screens.

First off, thank you for you assistance Yes, the screens do turn off after 15 minutes. The pc has never crashed while I am using it, I wake it up and find Cinnamon has crashed, and it is running in fallback mode. I have used the weather app for almost 10 years now. I use Linux Mint as my personal pc...

Is there a reason you ignored the very first suggestion? Crash reports are located in the System Reports app. Open that app and then click the Crash reports tab to see if there are any crash reports. Most of those repetitive screensaver messages are not a problem and everyone gets those messages ev...

Crash reports are in the System Reports app. You can look into the Looking Glass or "Melange" app for Cinnamon by pressing Super+L. It might have some info. For Terminal you can look inside the /var/log directory. You can also use journalctl and look for lines that have Cinnamon: journalc...

So isn't there a command for terminal that allows you to see crash events? I thought there was a way to see what was triggering the crash.

Nope..I just came back to the pc and it was in fallback mode as cinnamon crashed.

Are you using any Cinnamon third-party Desklets, Applets, or Extensions? Try disabling / uninstalling all of them to see if it helps. Also I noticed some issues in your repositories. You are using 21.3 which is based on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy, but you added many repositories that use Ubuntu 20.04 Focal...

Hello meduser welcome to the Forum. Please share your system info by going to: Menu/System Reports/System Information/click "Copy" and pasting it here. (You can use the command inxi -Fxxxmprz on the Terminal.) Here you go. System: Kernel: 5.15.0-102-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v...

Running the latest Linux Mint, and for some reason everytime I come back to my pc, Cinnamon has crashed and I am asked if I want to restart it. I am great at following commands, but I do not know what I need to post to help get this fixed. Any help is appreciated.

Perfect thank you. Working as expected.

Hi I need to add wifi to my desktop, as I have to move my desk. I bought a Linksys WUSB6300 V2 usb stick today, but am having issues getting it going. ~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

Issues appear to be resolved after numerous periods of the pc being in sleep mode.

Thank you for your help.

Ok,

so far so good.

PC went to sleep, and upon being woken, no shockwave or PulseAudio issue.

I will continue to monitor this through out the day before marking it solved.

Thank you so much for your fast and helpful advice.
