Just a bit of 'follow-up' information for anyone who had to excluded xorg-server-hwe 18.04 : Update Manager offered me Kernel 5.3.0.28 today and it's working on my machine - and now xorg-server-hwe 18.04 does too. I offer this as my experience only - I'm not bright enough to offer an explanation. Ho...

I'm not a LMDE user but I think you need to follow the instructions here:

It was a long time ago, but they worked for me.

This looks similar to another post today:

If it is, then you will be knowledgeable enough to know how to address it - I haven't a clue

Yes, I'm running 19.3 and excluding xorg-server-hwe 18.04 I have all other updates installed. It is now working correctly but if I install xorg-server-hwe 18.04 then I see the problem immediately after a reboot. I still don't know who or how to notify - I suspect this update originates from Ubuntu.

In my case this was caused by yesterday's xorg-server-hwe 18.04 update - all the other updates from yesterday are re-installed and everything is working correctly. Note to anyone doing a more thorough investigation: When I re-installed xorg-server-hwe 18.04 during my investigation, it had no adverse...

OK, this is a 'me too' post, but I think the people reporting this problem are correct and it isn't hardware related.
I noticed this after yesterday's updates and I have just resolved it using Timeshift to roll back to 15th Jan.

@cliffcoggin I've just been to Amazon (UK) and bought a music track. It asked if I wanted a link to their app and I gave them my email address (which I had already used to sign in). It then asked if I wanted to play the track or download it - I downloaded it - standard .mp3 (The link to download the...

I recently heard this small Australian Lady with a big voice:

I'm hooked.

BUGGY i timeshifted right back in about 5 minutes. redshift will not start after upgrade to tricia and without redshift i will not upgrade. oh, i do thank developers for trying to actually make the OS better looking and snappier, but has not one developer used redshift? they should know about the b...

I recently installed/added Lexend into my mint computer and e-reader until someone pointed out that it doesn't have bold or italics versions. Unfortunately the font creator didn't create a bold or italics version of the font, not is it a priority for him. So, what font do you use? I'm looking for a...

@VanessaTL For readability in general & coding in particular, I have installed Monaco font on my Mint 19.2 Cinnamon. I have it set for Default font, Desktop font, Document font, Monospace font & Window title font. I like the clarity, slashed zero, no confusion with upper case i and lower case L etc....

and I'll probably add a file with a list of all my credit card numbers and passwords.

Use keepass for passwords and the like, it is one of several alternatives in linux.

+1 for KeePass.
I'm currently using the latest AppImage version of KeePassXC. It's excellent.

LibreOffice is also released as an AppImage. I have been biased towards AppImages recently because you don't need to install anything to try a new program - and then if you like it and want to keep it, you still don't need to install it :) I'm not aware of any technical disadvantages compared with S...

+1 for Private Internet Access.
I've used it for a couple of years - no problems.

...... they should tell you whatever they have to to make the sale. They're being paid by the shop, not the customer. To survive long term and even expand, the shop owner needs to establish some trust, and he can't do that by establishing an environment where his customer facing staff are required ...

This one is now the background image of my Grub Menu.

Many thanks, catweazel !!

I consider my computers to have Operating Systems and 'treasured stuff' as catweazel called it. Both need backups. As a newbie I have wrecked my Linux Mint OS many times - I don't suppose that I've done it for the last time yet, so OS backups are great - Timeshift does this for me daily. My Mint 19....

Here's the thing--users should have a seperate backup strategy in place for ~/home (even if just copy/paste to a location out of the computer). Timeshift can do this but it is resource intensive, depending on how you have snapshot intervals configured. I don't need a system snapshot everyday, but I...

Yep, as mentioned above, it adds its own repository, and after that you can of course see it in Software Manager (just like software from other third-party repositories and PPAs that you add). But if you were to check on a fresh install you'd find that Software Manager comes up empty if you search ...
