Re: Not All Updates Succeeded - error kernel 6.1.0-18

I also install the new available nvidia driver update. Used the Update Manager. My kernel appears to have updated automatically during the process. I checked using System Info.

There is a bug with the latest 6.1.0.18 kernel update and nvidia cards.

Skip/hold back kernels updates waiting for a fix.
I have an nvidia card.

Re: LMDE 6 Upgrade ??

Will the new feature updates be made available through the Update Manager? Like on the other Ubuntu based edition? I am not seeing any updates at this time. Should I be patient and just wait?

Thank you for answering my questions.

Yes I agree, the Debian Edition is also a quite nice experience. I am just unsure how to get the latest upgraded software, which the Mint 21.3 users are enjoying right now.

Re: while typing, cursor moves out of its own will

I possibly have this same issue, on my Dell laptop. Bought a USB wireless Mouse, then I disable my touchpad in system-settings. My Dell doesn't have a touchpad "kill-button" though, so there is some minor hassle. Is there a way to auto-disable/enable touchpad when mouse is plugged/unplugge...

Re: Password Manager

In my case, I installed KeePassX from the removed repo. The repository is already added in Linux Mint. One need just to enable it in the "software sources" utility. To receive the latest KeePassX version.

Not sure if the official PPA is currently being kept up to date, is it?

Re: Password Manager

I have been using KeePassX for a long time. Latest version is 2.0.2 and I am happy with it. Thought I would mention it. Just in case you want to try something different.

I have yet to try LastPass.

Re: White dropshadows around windows? Cinnamon or Intel bug

Thanks for responding. Since the shadows are all wrong, I decided to go and install LM17 MATE on the laptop. If a fix is ever made available, I will install the Cinnamon version next time.

Re: White dropshadows around windows? Cinnamon or Intel bug

I was going to install LM17 CInnamon, but then noticed that all the shadows are white. I am on a dv1000 series laptop, with the same Intel graphics. Seeking a fix for this issue. Please Note: I also had to add "forcepae" before it would even boot into the live USB.
