Thanks for the suggestions. But so far I'm unable to resolve the main problem: inability to boot into Linux. The problem it seems is related to this message produced by boot-repair-disk 3. “Locked-ESP detected. You may want to retry after creating a /boot/efi partition (FAT32, 100MB~250MB, start of ...

Beginning several weeks ago, and for reasons I could not identify, I wasn’t able to boot into Linux Mint 18.3. I posted a question here, however the answers I received were unable to resolve the problem. After reinstalling Linux Mint 18.3, everything worked perfectly. But then yesterday, for reasons...

Thank you for your reply. My problem appears more complex. I can boot into Windows without a problem. But I cannot boot into Linux. Every time I try to boot into Linux, I receive the "emergency mode" error. My system is a dual boot running Linux Mint 18.3 and Windows 10 Specs. MSI Z170A Ga...

Thanks Oscar,
I wasn't sure how to use CODE. I thought perhaps it was only for commands, and did not include output from Terminal. I'll get the hang of this!

Hi I guess my system got messed up when I tried to fix my Broadcom modem on this computer, an HP 2140 netbook. I must have opened some repository that led to this problem.

I hope there is an easy fix. I really don't want to reinstall everything! Im overseas where the internet is slower than molasses.

Hi, I'm returning to MINT after many years hiatus. I installed the latest version, but encountered problems after my internet connection broke during an update.

I've tried that, but it didn't work.
My external USB 2 drives that are formated to Ex3 are recognized easily. But the NTFS volumes cannot be seen.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I was able to view the posting at http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerHardware. But it doesn't seem to offer me any advice. Nor does the other link.

Hello Yet another question! The wireless card in my Tecra 9100 notebook recently failed. I bought an ASUS WL-167g USB wireless adapter to connect to the internet. A shopkeeper noted that it would work with RedHat Linux. Apparently it uses a RaLink chipset which is supposed to work with Linux. After ...

Thanks for your reply! I entered "sudo apt-get install basket" in TERMINAL and it appeared that it was installing the program. However, I've not been able to find it in my list of programs. Mysterious. Has anyone had luck installing Basket Notes 1.0.2 on Mint 2.2? I am looking forward to c...
