Have you tried plugging in the USB into a different port?

Internal slots are to be used, so I think a wireless card should fit.

I don't know of such a thing, sorry.

Welcome!

What program are you using to rip CDs?

Just found this out because I was in Windows and went to use Powershell. It notified me of the newer Powershell available: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell?view=powershell-6#powershell-core Is this to help Windows users be more comfortable with Linux?

I don't think you made a mistake at all. Resolution isn't the only thing to consider for a tv. Contrast ratio, dynamic range, and other things matter. If the quality of the picture is great, then stick with that one. I would choose a 720p tv that looked good than a 1080i that just looked ok. Some in...

Well, to chime in, you had already decided that this was a Linux problem when in fact it wasn't. ... He said that because it works fine with iPad but not Linux PC it's the Linux system.

Try restoring to an earlier time using Timeshift.

I would create a full installation onto a USB. That way you can add/remove apps, etc. so it's customized for your purpose. I have a hybrid 64 GB USB flash drive, which means I can boot it on a Legacy or UEFI computer and I'm not limited to 4 GB of persistent space that can be created for a live USB....

... Lately I have been configuring automatic updates - so far so good and adding a cron to run a script (I think I got this from Pjotr as well) to clean out all but the last one or two (can't remember how many) kernels other than the active one. ... Just an FYI: the newest Update Manager will do th...

I don't think at this stage anyone will convince Clem to reinstate the level system as it was, and the pros and cons of the Levels system have been discussed to death since Clem first started slowly weaning users off of it with Mint 18.2 and 18.3. ...

My main point is that OSes, including Mint are GUI and created to be easy to use and not so reliant on commands in Terminal (Command Prompt in Windows).

My other point is that we should have the option as we used to have to disable things like certain updates in an easy-to-use fashion.

If you have issues with 19.2, please post a question in a support subforum rather than here Forum rules Section reserved for the team.

Well, the blacklist is still there, so you can still do it all in the GUI. Just right-click a kernel update and blacklist it for all future updates. What's the problem?

No problem just inconvenient.

Thanks for that info! It's too bad that we have to resort to Terminal commands to do something that we had already in a GUI.

Hi all, Not sure about others in the forum but in Update Manager, I liked having the Levels and inclusion/exclusion of security and kernel updates. I set my desktop's Update Manager to Automatic Updates and set to install Levels 1-4, show and install security updates, and not show nor install kernel...

PS: I think that if you're going to call it "Auto-refresh", then you should label the tab "Auto-refresh" ...or maybe "Scheduler" (for both).

Why?

The two items are under the section "Auto-refresh" anyway, which means these are for auto refreshing.
