Maybe one day I will commit to learn about regex, but I always avoid it since I'm scared of it. Until then, I have to type out the longer form.

Opening the system file "additional repositories" should potentially show you the duplicate entries that were causing the problem, and where you could try to correct that. If there is nothing in that file now that you have unchecked the wine ppa then there is nothing to do there. But after using tim...

Thanks so much for the replies, it is much appreciated and I am sorry for not mentioning my version, it is 18.1. Concerning manually editing the file and cleaning out the duplicate entry, well that failed. I received a console message: ** (xed:31493): WARNING **: The specified location is not suppo...

inxi is installed by default. There's a mint command script ready to be run called upload-system-info and that runs an inxi command then further pipes it to the termbin paste site and opens it in your browser. The upload-system-info inxi information part is: inxi -Fxxxrzc0 -that's (F)ull output, tri...

that package is marked as version: trusty maybe that's fine though, depends on what Mint version you're running, but even in any case sometimes ppa's are not always compliant. Anyway, you can manually edit that file and clean out the duplicate entry. Maybe you want to create a backup of the file in ...

Yea, sorry, I didn't test that line. :roll: But here, I scratched this one up, and actually tested it. :lol: I always feel creepy about seeing what appears to be more processing than needed. Although in this case, it is barely even perceptible. I did run timing on that code shown and the total of th...

It's possible, not easy, but I guess that depends on how one defines easy/hard, and it is time consuming. However, you could write a customization script that could be run after a fresh install and it would do all the work easily. That's probably what most users do that want this kind of personaliza...

"Conky Manager 2" is available instead. (not to be confused with Tony George's "Conky Manager" version 2 which included up to version 2.4) An ongoing solution is Conky Manager 2 seen here(picking up the version starting at 2.5): https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2 ( not available as ppa, however...

You can not use 0 because it is less than the update_interval variable, which is how these 'exec' functions are defined, so probably use a high number. Instead, maybe you want to try something like $no_update : Land: $alignr ${no_update ${execi 300 wget -qO- ipinfo.io 2> /dev/null | grep "country" |...

Hello Mike, welcome. Without getting any more advanced, you can simply use the ctrl + alt + F1 (to F6) key combo at the normal graphical login screen. There are 6 TTY's ready to use there, and tty7 is the graphical desktop session, under the F7 key. You can readily switch between any of them at any ...

I did not realize it was included That is easier.

That started with 19.2

Boot-repair is already included in the live session, so no need to install that ppa and program, just boot to the usb/dvd and use it. Also, for editing system files, gksu was removed from Ubuntu starting with the 18.x version(equal with Mint 19.x). We can use a variety of alternate options: 1. xed a...

You'll have to move the slider for the "Minimum size" adjustment and it will work. Make it larger and it will center everything.

And not sure if this matters but you can change the WM to some Metacity option and maybe that theme will function. Setting is in "Desktop Settings" app.

Installing on 19.2 should be simple. Either choose ''conky-all' (or conky-std, or cli) using software manager, or terminal command: apt install conky-all . The plain 'conky' package is a virtual package that will include one of these other specific packages, -probably conky-std. Maybe that's not wor...

The version from the available software repository should be the one you want. You can check your current version with terminal command: apt version ffdiaporama and it will show 2.1+dfsg-1 for Mint 19.x or 1.5-4build3 for Mint 18.x. And some ppa version will show something different, who knows, but ...

initramfs casper mount can't find /dev/sr0. don't use YUMI, or maybe you can succeed if you end up having to manually fix some configs on there before you try to install or even boot for that matter. You can check here instead: Create the bootable media: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthed...

The Software Manager version is 2.1, the same as the last release from 2014 on their website. It looks like the download available from their site would give you the 1.6 version from 2013(edit: that's actually the LMDE version - debian based), quite older and likely possibly not usable or even insta...

Oh, my apologies, I didn't see the reply.

You will not be able to remove the kernel that is currently in use.

You should boot to a previous kernel as mentioned, and then you can remove that -60 problem kernel.

Interesting. How long ago was this?

That was a year and a half ago I'd say, -maybe 2. yea, possible bug situation I suppose.

I'm guessing it won't be hard to get it booting in legacy mode once wannabelinuxguy is trying to do that specifically on purpose.

1. Work through the BIOS settings and see whether you can find something which will force legacy boot. If you find a likely candidate, post a photo. 2. In order to eliminate one source of uncertainty, reburn the ISO to USB drive using Rufus. 3. Boot the USB and check whether it's booting in BIOS or...
