At the moment I've got Cinnamon 18.3 with nouveau on my main HDD and Cinnamon 19 with nvidia on my spare HDD...still testing 19. Yesterday I installed the latest Kernel update to both...with no problems. I have a 6 yr old Asus Laptop 64bit that came with Windoze 7...about 18 mths ago I installed Cin...

Hello, I was thinking about operating systems and their security. I worked 20 year with Mac and still use it for some specific software, but switched previous year partially to Windows 10. I've read that Microsoft collect a lot of information about your system with Windows 10 and even can see your ...

Now comes the strange part... Two weeks ago I installed Cinnamon 19 on my spare HDD...when I tried to install Wine from WineHQ in the Terminal I couldn't...kept getting errors and it's not in the Software Manager which didn't work either. :( So I deleted it and did a clean install of Cinnamon 18.3.....

I installed nouveau...Re-Booted then installed Kernel 4.15.0-32 and Re-Booted again...no black screen...works just fine. :oops: Sorry Guys and especially the Mint Team...it wasn't the Kernel after all...it's bloody nvidia :x I couldn't understand why I'd get one Kernel that worked then one that didn...

According to Driver Manager I'm running the latest driver...nvidia-340.104-oubuntu 0.16.04.1 But, Bob, your problem is not the microcode. Your problem is, as JeremyB had pointed out, that kernel 4.15.0-xx does no longer support Nvidia driver nvidia-340. So, either you find a newer Nvidia driver, wh...

hi bob466...we never did see a... inxi -Fxz ...readout of your system to determine just what kind of hardware etc that you are expecting that kernel to work on...that in itself could be the problem...DAMIEN I'v never posted a readout...nothing to hide...just never thought of it. Anyway here it is.....

We didn't see you ask for help, you tried to paint a bad picture about the distro to new users, claiming that bad kernels are the norm. We both confirmed that there is no such norm. With comments like yours it's no wonder people are reluctant to complain about problems...Newsflash...Mint isn't pref...

That's two in a row...not good guys...feel like I'...

I'm not a fan of Timeshift because it doesn't backup personal files...so it's not a full backup tool like Windoze System Restore is/was. But it does came in handy because it better than nothing...I have Timeshift set to take a snapshot once a week and easy to use. Once a month I create a System Imag...

..I did a clean install of Cinnamon 18.3...went to WineHQ and installed Wine without any trouble at all with the Terminal...couldn't do it in Mint 19. . Not really sure how your Cinnamon desktop experience in Mint 18.03 corresponds with the "Wine install Mint 19 Mate" topic under discussion here. I...

I did a clean install of Cinnamon 18.3...went to WineHQ and installed Wine without any trouble at all with the Terminal...couldn't do it in Mint 19. I now have Wine version 3.0.2 and it seems much better than previous versions. Wine doesn't appear in the Menu...but I downloaded Notepad++ .exe file.....

I got the black screen of death with this one...but don't get WiFi issues because I'm on a Desktop...luck me.

I've just done a clean install of Cinnamon 18.3 and installed LibreOffice 6 and so far no problems...but I downloaded it from their web site.

I have Chrome and Opera as well and go between the three of them...in this case two's company...three's a crowd does not apply.

apt install --reinstall mintinstall might do the job without a fresh install. This did nothing...so I did a clean install which fixed the problem and speaking of problems...Why does Cinnamon 18.3 after a clean install Re-Boot ask to update the Microcode...I did this when I installed Cinnamon 18.2 o...

If you're using a Windoze computer you're being spied on. Everything you do is sent back to Micro$oft who then sell your information to Governments or anyone with cash. :x You can turn the spyware off but Micro$oft turn it back on with updates...I choose not to play their game. There are secret back...
