Nothing was solved.

Sometimes 'solved' means 'my question was answered'.

Have you set it to log in automatically?

What's your browser? Mine (Waterfox) has a feature called 'Import and Backup'. I bet Firefox has that, too.

lol, install 19, then upgrade to 19.1... I missed that simple fix approach too (thankfully Moem stepped in to suggest such!

Laziness is its own reward.

How can I just turn the track pad off?

You have not told us your desktop environment, so this is a shot in the dark: try the settings under Mouse and Touchpad.

This is an old thread, so I'll lock it now. If you have further questions, please start a new thread. Cheers!

Memory kicked in once I started Gparted. Erased the Linux partition and reinstalled Linux.

Good for you, glad I could help!

Choose first option if you want to dual boot windows and linux mint and second option if you want to remove your windows os and just want linux. Not the first one because it will leave the previous attempt at installing Mint in place. (Okay, it would be possible to remove that afterwards but that i...

Something else, yes. And then choose your previous Mint partition(s).

If you are wondering what is what, open GParted from the live Mint, and take a screenshot to show us so we can see what you are seeing.

You can also do the same in the file manager in image viewers like Pix or XnView. What makes it cumbersome is it will be a one-at-a-time operation. It doesn't have to be. Like I said, XnView is great at batch conversions. It's much more than an image viewer. I suggest you avoid using spaces in the ...

Try XNview MP. Great for batch operations on images, including renaming.

I think you should first format the partition and then install linux mint on it instead of just overwriting it.

The installer will do that for you if you let it.

Yes, that is what I would do.

Reinstalling seems like an easy and quick option here.

I don't think that it does, apart from the 'teething troubles' that are common with a new release and often repaired in x.1 or x.2... but of course, it's up to you. 18.3 is indeed very nice.

I am so sad. My room is so empty. I knew, that this would happen, but I did always think, that it would be only in a few years, when we have to separate.

Cosmo., I'm very sorry for your loss. You have my heartfelt sympathy.

Can I use this DVD since it was made with another PC , or does this doesn't matter , and can this be used on any other PC (in other words is it not linked to my computer or download ) It is not linked to your PC, and can be used on any computer it will work on. Nevertheless, you might want to consi...

Thanks Moem for slapping my face and pointing the bleeding obvious out to me. :oops: Hah! Glad I could help. Yes, focusing too much on a certain part of a problem and overlooking other options that would solve it... that is certainly not something I have personally ever experienced, no way no how. ...

Or you could get from 19 to 19.1 by upgrading through the Mint Updater.

Same to me

So you, too, are getting the notice "utf-8 codec can't decode byte 0xae in position 32: invalid start byte" ?
