Linux Mint Forums

I have this machine. Its really great with Mint 21.3.

Only when i closed the lid, suspend did not work. I needed the latest Tuxedo Kernel. Installed the tuxedo sources, installed the latest kernel,
and it worked...

Great Laptop.

cheers, Bernd

Since 1998.
First Suse, then Mandrake, Mageia..
Then 2014 ? Mint 17, because I wanted something easy for my wife. It was so good I changed to Mint entirely..

Now 21.3, Looking forward to Wilma...

cheers, Bernd

Hi,
i have a smart 4 plus which works without any problems.

Maybe you can solve the problem by updating to 21.3. This is easy, just use the update-manager (Aktualisierungsverwaltung).

Also your kernel is a little outdated. This is also solved by an update.

hope this helps,

cheers,

I had also problems with acer.
The solution was;
There was a hidden Bios menu, where RST was activated. This must be changed to AHCI.

The hidden menu could be activated with Control + s.

Hope it works.

Hi, my honest opinion is - return it, if you can. I had one of these, for a short time. First, everything worked with Mint (Vanessa, 21) Then the Display showed random color glitches. First a few. Then in a short time more. I used it around 4 weeks, then i didn't bear it anymore. Now i have a tuxedo...

Yes, since 1998, first was the first german linux, SUSE linux, then Mandrake, Mageia, then Mint...

greetz,

i have a german keyboard. There is a Strg key which means "Control"

I had this problem with an Acer Laptop. You need to change RST to AHCI in Bios. To do this, you need the hidden Advanced Menue in Bios. With my Acer, go to Bios, Main Tab. Then Strg + S, then a new menue opens where you can switch RST to AHCI. unfortunately, its seems not always to be Strg + S, it d...

I did it all the time with switching sources. It may work. But: Backup all your data before. Have an install stick ready, in case you need it. switch the mint sources to vanessa, the ubuntu sources to jammy. Switch all other sources to jammy. then: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade Good luck! ch...

Hi!
I did exactly this yesterday.

Absolutely no problems with 20.3 isos

So my solution (if the new ISOs cannot be repaired) is:

Install 20,3, Use the hopefully soon arriving upgrade-tool, and lift the system up to 21...

No there's no need to do anything. Just apply the regular updates. And beta goes to stable. I do this for years - installing beta by switching sources, installing new programs etc. , an wait until it gets stable. of course, in case of problems, i always have an install-stick ready and do regular bac...

Hi, all data are in .thunderbird. Save this File (I do it with the whole $home). Restore it. But do not start thunderbird without this file. Wait until you restored the old file. Normally this should work. I do it since a few years like this (the oldest entries in .tb are from 2013). Only one time t...

Some Tuxedos here.
All work very well with Mint.

The way I did it for years... First: Do a backup of your /home folder, in case something goes wrong. Then go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d Change as root in the file "official-package-repository.list" "uma" to "una" save then sudo apt update" sudo apt full-upgrade reb...
