Well, you can't just move an operating system to another drive, and expect it to work correctly like nothing happened. You probably broke your system irreparably. The fact that you can't even spawn processes or open up a terminal etc. shows that it has nothing to do with the GPU or whatever, very f...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me track down what's happening with my Linux Mint install. Recently I've been having very random hard crashes when things that in memory will continue to work fine but it's clear something big has broken. I can't spawn any processes, can't connect from ...

Good catch. Apparently that didn't get installed when I upgraded from 19.3 to 20.

Installed the 5.4 kernel through the upgrade manager, restarted, issue went away. Nemo must have been calling something that wasn't present in the old kernel.

I recently updated something (can't tell) and suddenly all application that use nemo take a while to open. I thought it was general system slowness only to realize it's just nemo. For example: I open the screenshot app, select an area on the screen, nothing happens. 25.5 second later the window to s...

Update: Just decided to restart and it fixed it. So what magic hotkey/shortcut combination produces these results? I'd like to turn them off...

I swear I'm always hitting some weird key combination that changes my keyboard configuration or something stupid. This time the up, down, and right arrow keys don't work, but the left one does. When pressing the down arrow I get a baked in image from Cinnamon suggestion the right click on my trackpa...

Yes you're assumptions were correct. This got resolved however in mysterious ways. I went to try another solution that required unplugging the USB cable from my CentOS 7, but it didn't work either. When I plugged the printer back into my CentOS CUPS Server, it suddenly started working on all my devi...

Today I went through the process of installing a CUPS server on a remote machine based on CentOS 7. I can access the web configuration, I was able to add the Canon D530/560 over USB from the Web Admin Page, but then all the tutorials/documentation stop short. The button "Share printers connecte...

I wanted to upgrade my laptop to Linux Mint 19 and Nvidia 396 just to try out Steam Proton before upgrading on my main Desktop machine. Everything went well on the upgrade to Linux Mint 19 and was stable using the already installed Nvidia 390 Drivers. A notable exception is that the upgrade failed o...

Thanks for your help. Decided to clean install anyway because I had already spent 3 hours on it when I can get back up and running from clean in about 30 minutes. I kept Windows around and just cleared out my /sda6 partition that held Linux. Then the installer took care of getting GRUB back to how i...

I recently upgraded the hardware in my system significantly (moved from a 6700K on Z170 to 8700K on Z370). I didn't do anything at all to any of my disks. I was excited to see that Windows booted immediately. Next was Linux but the Grub menu didn't appear. I check the UEFI/BIOS menu and I had a sele...

UEFI requires a GPT partition. Not sure if I manually attempted that, but shouldn't have the automatic installer taken care of that anyways? Bassically when I booted my flash drive in UEFI and went through the install process (either manual or automatic) it would finish fine, but at reboot would sa...

Some laptops are hardcoded to only boot the windows bootloader off the m.2 slot, but can boot anything off the SATA slot. You seem to have one of those beasts. The solution is to try and rename the Ubuntu EFI bootloader to the windows efi bootloader name. http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/20187.html LOL....

running simply gives me the directories

It's finally time that I report this bug that's been driving me crazy for a long time. Even since 18.0 I've been experiencing a problem that probably affects very few people. My battery often dies mid trip back home from work or school because it has a tiny battery that only lasts about 2 hours when...

Yes, apologies for vagueness. My DE had been stable for quite some time using Nvidia driver 370. I installed Wine, going full-screen using a windows app crashed my DE so I reset my computer. From then on out, initial boot would cause cinnamon to crash. I removed wine completely since that was the on...

@xenopeek that helps fix 90% of the issues so thanks. Unfortunately however, my current display does not have a UI selection for "Desktop" where you have "Linux Mint" selected. Where can I access that? That appears to be the final standout where my panel is still white and my men...

After lots of spontaneous frustration of getting my Nvidia drivers to work again, deleting cinnamon, etc I am now back to a working desktop, but now have the ugliest theme in the world. Simple question: What is the default Mint 18 Cinnamon Theme? Where can I find a version of it online? I looked at ...
