+1 on your instructions, blueocean.

Download the Driver Install Tool. It will take care of installing everything your printer needs. Make sure that you read the instructions carefully, as it gets installed from the terminal.

Hope this helps,

Won't know until the OP posts the inxi report that blueocean requested they post.

No Spearmint, m-NUC is trying to hijack the thread instead of starting their own.

You're welcome from both of us. Don't hesitate to ask questions when you have an issue.

Glad you got it fixed. Were you messing around with your swap partition before this started?

As I suspected, there is an incorrect entry in your /etc/fstab file. The line UUID=1090e43b-d67b-4b8a-84e5-e7bee829800c none swap sw 0 0 should read UUID=d31f7e4a-06bc-4cb7-84dc-60a1e6ae6d6a none swap sw 0 0 . You'll have to edit it with elevated privileges by right clicking on /etc in your file man...

Please post the results of the following commands It looks like there might be an incorrect setting in your fstab file.

Did a timeshift restore and all was OK again. Didn't think it would work but it did. Thought I'd have to do a clean install because when I originally posted I didn't think timeshift would fix it.

Moral of the story: Backup, backup, backup. It can save a lot of time and lots of download MB's.

Yes, you want all the updates. They are needed to keep your computer secure.

As long as you don't delete the .thunderbird folder in your /home/username folder, all your email will be retained, as will your accounts. Not sure about add-ons.

Please post an inxi -Fxz  report. This will give us a concise overview of your hardware and on how Mint  sees  it.

wang xilong, apparently your office has set the network up to prevent people from wasting their time at work browsing the 'net. Smart move as far as I'm concerned.

Just my 2 cents.

I have wifi but when I open the Network Manager, I get a message that "WiFi unavailable-802.1x supplicant failed". I've rebooted but no change. How do I fix this? inxi -Fxz output larry@larry-Toshiba:~$ inxi -Fxz System: Host: larry-Toshiba Kernel: 4.15.0-65-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: ...

Thanks folks, got it fixed. Found that I didn't need to do the copy.

I've kind of found a workaround by creating the file by reading from another file. Here's what I'm doing: #!/bin/bash x=~/Recovery/Repos echo \#\!/bin/bash > $x #---gives an error chmod u+x $x #i="cp *.pref /etc/apt/preferences.d/" sed -n '1w restore_repos.sh' sigs.txt #<---reads 1st line from this ...

I have this script which creates another bash script. I'm trying to add a section which will add code in the other script to copy *.pref files to /etc/apt/preferences.d but I'm stumped. Do I need to create a sed loop or what? Also, can I replace "x=~/Restore/Repos" in the script with x=pwd? #!/bin/b...

Have you run Flemur's code, one line at a time, yet?

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb

Please open a terminal in Mint and run the following command so we have a better idea of your partition setup Larry

Please follow the instructions at https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c ... altek.html item #8. Changing to that driver should help.
