@Larry78723: That was it! Thank you SO MUCH! This is the output of journalctl: Sep 18 21:59:50 alberto-HP-250-G3-Notebook-PC kernel: acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC failed (AE_ERROR); disabling ASPM Sep 18 21:59:50 alberto-HP-250-G3-Notebook-PC kernel: RAS: Correctable Errors collector initialized.

Thank you, I had a look at /etc/network/interfaces, which are quite the same in the two systems. In both of them, /etc/network/interfaces.d/setup contains no subdirectories. To me, the truly puzzling thing is that Mint's booting behavior changed after installing Debian, therefore I have to look for ...

@t42: this is precisely what I did, as I think I mentioned in my previous post. Ipv6 is not the culprit, not this time.

I tried, but the problem is still there. I added the required lines to /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1 I also changed /etc/default/grub adding "ipv6.disable=1" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Reboot...

Thank you for replying. Here it is: $ systemd-analyze critical-chain The time after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@" character. The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character. graphical.target @2min 1.023s └─multi-user.target @2min 1.023...

EDIT after solving. The problem didn't have to do with the network but with the fact that, during installation, I asked Debian to use the swapfile partition already used by Mint. Debian changed the UUID for the partition, and so Mint kept looking for the old UUID partition until timeout. The soluti...

Hi, I had similar problems with my Realtek card and Mint, but with another driver (r8169). I spent a lot of time searching the web and trying to understand. Some people get good results when they unload and reload the module. You might just give it a shot: # modprobe -r r8152 # modprobe r8152 In cas...

Hi, I had the same problems with the same driver and Mint 19.3. The following workaround is working for me: from Network Manager I disable the wireless (I uncheck "enable Wi-Fi"). After doing so, my Ethernet connection runs flawless and at full speed. When I re-enable the Wireless, all the...

19.3 Mate: no option for either Eject or Safely Remove appears in Caja when I right click on an external USB drive (HDD or SDD). The only option for removal is " Stop ". If I select Stop , no notification appears and so it's anybody's guess when the USB disk can be safely removed. I use Di...

Sorry for replying so late, I hope it may be of help to someone. There are several typos in AndyMH's reply. The command for generating a Wine 32 bit prefix is: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="~/.newprefix32/" winecfg or equivalently WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="/home/YOURUSERNAME/.newprefix3...

I just tried 19.3 Cinnamon alongside Mate (in dual boot). Mate seemed to me more responsive and just a bit less customizable than Cinnamon, so I have gone for it. I just don't like the new Mate icon for the Network Manager but I can live with it...

I have installed Mint 19.3 Cinnamon in my laptop (HP 250 G3, i5 4210U, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD Crucial mx500) alongside Mint 19.1 Mate and Lubuntu 18.04.3 . The following comparison is not really significant, but as far as first impressions go... Boot (I set autologin to test this): both 19.3 Cinnamon ...

Sorry for replying so late, I guess the OP has already solved one way or another, but this may be of interest to someone else. Libreoffice Draw is very convenient for filling up pdf forms. Open the pdf document with Libreoffice Draw. You can then fill in forms that have suitable input boxes but you ...

I just noticed something similar using 18.3 Xfce. A workaround I just found was to click on Video > Fullscreen (Video > Always Fit Window was automatically selected) Does that help? I regret it does not, VLC behaves just the same way. By the way, I also found out how to turn off transparency in the...

Update: I have "discovered" a difference between the Lubuntu and the Mint VLC: the control bar is in solid colour in the Lubuntu version and it is partly transparent in the Mint version (that is, when it appears at all). I am going to investigate this a bit more. By the way, does anyone ha...

Hi, I have Mint 19.1 Tessa and Lubuntu 18.04 in dual boot. When I start VLC in full screen mode the control bar should show up when I move the mouse. In Mint it does not: it sometimes appears if I keep moving the mouse for a while but its behaviour is quite erratic. If I move the cursor where the co...

I know that the last post is six months old, but I wish to thank rui no onna for the simple and elegant solution to the problem. update-grub and install-grub did it. Many thanks also to Pjotr for his advice and his easylinuxtipsproject, which proved very useful. My past experience with Grub Customiz...

Why so aggressive, love? While I can of course not know what obscure instructions you may remember, the official instructions suggest to do exactly what I was referring to: https://clonezilla.org/livehd.php The page you link to exactly specifies the procedure I mention (the 'obscure instructions' I...

This is an advantage of using "dd", it can run in that minimal environment. Running e2fsck on the backup is required. OK, that's fine. But I think the main arguments stand: a reboot is required and dd also backs up free space, unless one zeroes and uses conv=sparse. I am not trying to say...
