Do you mean installing Mint offline? -because you can do that just unplug any ethernet cable connected, and click the buttons and follow the prompts.

Or are you talking about installing any various software after a full install, later, offline?

the devil is in the details... Well, I only noticed the thing from Mike-Linux-Mint's output. For the rest of the topic, I'm lost. I think with apt-get you can do whatever you like and it will parse it all. -probably even command /usr/bin/apt (but don't do that). But apt on Mint is different, and I ...

Usage: apt command [options] just to clarify, you want to put the parameters/flags after the command, so: apt install --fix-broken <package> not apt --fix-broken install <package> Looks like there were some errors, this is what I got apt --fix-broken install libqt4-xml libqtdbus4 qdbus apt Usage: ap...

The fix is to stop it searching for a non existent Swap Partition. Great! Just to add a better point for most cases: Do this sudo xed /etc/default/grub -not like that. Do any of the the following instead: gksudo xed /etc/default/grub (this is for systems that are pre-polkit[pkexec] integration that...

Woo hoo -- fixed, it is so fast now I don't even get to see the Splash screen.

Great! yes, how did you fix it? please! thank you.

Just to further go into detail: The root account exists and is functional. However the password has been disabled in the aspect that you can not type the password to it, so you will not be using it directly, and nobody else will be either. It is done on purpose for reasoning. How often do we need to...

You could probably grab another 1GB stick or a couple 2GB sticks for $10 or something. That's a big deal, you'll surpass the 1GB pretty easily and then you're into swapping so it's all downhill at that point. With the SSD and at least 2GB it probably does nicely on Xfce.

For conky-manager teejee is not working on the project anymore. And so there will not be a universe repository version past Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial I would guess. But here is a fork, originally written as a patch to conky-manager to add support for 1.10 conky version, but that does work on Ubuntu 18.04 ...

Ok, great. So that seems like a candidate for "solving freezes" as explained in the Mint release notes. -that's typically the most common struggle when the system is in a non-detectable graphics hardware scenario. Give the nomodeset parameter a try temporarily and see if that works and give it a qui...

Ok, So I am now unable to reproduce the issue. Mint has been booting fine after shutdown, and also from a windows boot/shut down. It's gone about 12 hours since that second round of FSCK without sending me back to emergency mode. So I'm cautiously optimistic that it just needed to go through the FS...

After a successful fsck, boot, and post the result from: inxi -G What happens if you just reboot from Mint to Mint? It's a wide open situation from what I can see. There are many unknowns. You mentioned it was suddenly laggy and maybe you didn't do a clean shutdown. So, was there software updates be...

see workaround as listed here: https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/1676 Workaround (thanks xenopeek for this info): Settings of nemo are stored in dconf. There is no /root/.config/dconf directory by default. Creating that directory and copying the files from my user to root, applies the changes...

Great. Yes, you wont be able to run on mounted partitions. Boot to a live session. Use the usb media installer you had carefully stashed away in a drawer. ;) You can quickly confirm that the drive is still sda and not sdb being displaced by something weird with the usb media being booted(probably wo...

I've changed also the ACPI power settings, trying all the possible choices (S1, S3 and S1&S3). This is not a very interesting setting. (that handles how the system will handle suspend and hibernation modes) Please give the model number of the Asus desktop and I will try to find what the exact setti...

Did you try to start in compatibility mode? When you boot, stop the countdown timer by pressing a key.

The nomodeset option is probably not needed if it wasn't needed before, but just a point to add dealing with graphics drivers situation, and likely the current setup is due to the fact of Mint having to boot into an alternate mode because of something else. Check the filesystem, fsck, and report the...

Hi Monsieur Arkadin, post the result of this command(enclose in code tags please, or just post the url): upload-system-info

if it fails to give you a url, you can consider updating, but use the old method command: inxi -Fxxxrz

I think you should want the graphics driver to say: intel

In general, 2GB for /boot seems overkill for sure. You could half that and at least it wouldn't seem outrageous. with 1GB you can hold on to too many kernels as it is. It seems like 512MB has been the common standard and you can get over a handful of extra kernels in that. And the point is that you ...

Hi Angelo_C, Welcome. I can not decipher what might be the problem there. However I can offer this: If you want to change the OS to make it faster, then Xfce will be faster, not Cinnamon. Also, that CPU is 64 bit, so you can use that version if you want to. From my experience of using Etcher it will...
