Just a thought . .
If you ever plan on re-selling the laptop, it may be worth it to have a way to re-install windows so the laptop will be as originally purchased.

Use the Software Sources program to delete/disable the Getdeb repository. The Getdeb repos were taken down a few years ago.

Time to remove some of your old kernels that you are not using anymore.

Without knowing what the updates are that are causing this, it will be impossible to diagnose.

Since you rolled back, the updates are likely back in the Update Manager, can you provide a list of the updates that caused this ?

I like and use the mozilla add-on called Complete Youtube Downloader . The Complete YouTube Downloader, Download every YouTube Video in MP3 192 & 128kbps, MP4 and WEBM (Up to 8K! and HDR), M4A and 3GP Formats. Also Subtitles and Thumbnails can be downloaded!

Something to try . . When you are booted into Mint 19, run this terminal command : sudo update-grub , I'm assuming that now the Mint 19 grub loader will take over.

The ufw firewall is already installed in Mint. You want to deny.

man ufw

Too bad people don't read the published Release Notes before they attempt an install.

Please read the Mint 19 Release Notes. There is a section there called "Solving freezes during the boot sequence".

If you read the error, it states that there are duplicates in official-package-repositories.list, and the sources.list that you must have added.

All Mint versions use the official-package-repositories.list.

I suggest thst you delete the sources.list file.

Cinnamon requires 3D capable, newer graphics hardware. Mint's MATE or Xfce editions do not.

Yes, it would be best to download either the Mint MATE or Xfce edition, burn it to disk, and go from there.

Check for that iommu in your BIOS.

If you want one big partition on that drive, use that Disks program to delete the partitions, once complete, create a new 2 Tb partition.
(gear icon just below the description window box.)

Take a read on this.

I see it here . . it's not a 1 but a 2 Tb drive by the looks of it. Drives: HDD Total Size: 2275.5GB (3.0% used) ID-1: /dev/sda model: Crucial_CT275MX3 size: 275.1GB ID-2: /dev/sdb model: HGST_HUS724020AL size: 2000.4GB Remember in Gparted, to switch drives use the drop down list in the upper right.

If you have browsed through the active topics in the forums, you will see that the 4.15 series linux kernel is causing quite a few members to pull out their hair in frustration. :shock: I don't know if it is the cause of your problems. I'm not on Mint 19, so I don't know what other series of kernels...

Please read the Linux Mint 19 Release Notes. There is a special section called "Solving freezes during the boot sequence" that may be the answer to what you are experiencing.

Just install mint-meta-xfce . . do NOT install the xubuntu desktop, as that will overwrite what mint-meta-xfce has already installed.

It may just be the 4.15 series linux kernel that is causing this. I have read in these forums quite a few problems with it. Mint 18.3 comes with an earlier kernel, which may work better for you. I'm not on Mint 19 so I do not know which kernels are available. (Mint Update Manager > View > Linux Kern...

How did you install Megasync ? Please give as much detail as you can.
