I have found that LM MATE 19.1 64-bit works much better than LM Cinnamon 19.1 64-bit on the Dell Inspiron 1501.
Cinnamon was too much for that 12 year-old laptop to handle, whereas Mate runs just fine.
Also, I would personally update the BIOS from 2.1.0 to 2.6.3

Hey, I've been on a trip for the past 3 months & just returned. I had a Dell Inspiron 1501 that I just recycled after replacing the mobo twice; it was 12 years old (2007) & I had to scrap it. I had the same issue as you, here's what worked for me. Laptop will not shutdown or reboot, and hangs indefi...

(via the Terminal): Reboot.

You may want to open the Terminal and enter:
sudo mount -a

Then reboot.

To run Windoze software in Linux, you need to install Wine-stable in the Software Manager.

I have been monkeying-around with Linux since 1990, started in dbase way back then...............way before Winblows 3.1. What I did, is I had 2 PCs (1 desktop and 1 laptop) and I used the desktop as a training machine. I crashed it, repaired it, and used it just for that purpose; to be able to fix ...

I have a Canon Pixma MX340 AIO (about 8 years old) and it works great on LM 19 x64. Drivers are now included in LM 19.

I have 2 10+ year old laptops running LM Mate 19 64-bit and it's great. 4GB RAM.
Had LM Cinnamon 18.3 on them, but Mate is quicker and I don't miss anything in Cinnamon, which is running on 4 other newer laptops.

What is Partition 2 and what's on it? Use Gparted to find out.

Maybe this will help.

Then I would reboot. Then open Software Manager and install LibreOffice. did you mean - that you would install Free Office - rather than LibreOffice : https://www.freeoffice.com/en/tips-and-tricks-linux is how you could install Softmaker Free Office. I meant that he could remove/reinstall LO. I per...

rdesktop & remmina look good, but I use Teamviewer on Linux/Windoze PCs.

idle, right on the money!

LibreOffice? No way. I immediately purge LibreOffice and install SoftMaker FreeOffice instead. To remove prior installations of LibreOffice: sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-core If you also want to remove LibO configuration files, use the purge switch: sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice-core su...

I am using a Dell Latitude D620 right now. I upgraded the CPU from a Core Duo 1.8GHz to a Core2Duo 2.33GHZ ($17.00 ebay), updated the ram from DDR2-800 2GB to 4GB $20.00 ebay), updated the HDD from 320GB 5400rpm to HGST 1TB 7200rpm ($50.00 neweg), and running LM 19 Mate 64-bit kernel 4.15.0.42; nice...

I always boot from a Live LM USB for fresh installations. Then I immediately use Gparted to partition the disk with /swap / /boot /home
/Data partitions.
Then when you install, adjust anything on the disk using the LM installer using "Something else".
Don't know if this helps you, but good luck.

Instead of restarting or shutting down, try restarting Xorg.
Ctrl+Alt (Hold down both), then press Backspace.

I was using kernel 4.18.0.13 with some freezing, then I reverted back to kernel 4.15.0.32 and it's much better now on LM v.19 Mate 64-bit.

I remove LibreOffice on all new installs (basically the same as HaveaMint's instructions), then install SoftMaker FreeOffice, which is much better. No problems on any apps after uninstalling LibreOffice. 4 of my laptops have the SoftMaker FreeOffice version and 2 others have the retail SoftMaker Ope...
