I haven't, but I'll do so. Thanks!

I'm running Mint 19.2 Mate, having upgraded a couple months back from 19.1, on a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 (generic 105-key PC layout). I found that my defined compose key (right-alt) no longer works. What I tried: In Keyboard Preferences / Layouts, I reset the keyboard layout to default, and then under ...

I am having exactly the same problem with an HP LaserJet Pro M201dw network printer attached to my home router: After a clean install of Mint 19.1 MATE, the printer wakes up but nothing actually prints when I try to print a test page from printer properties, but printing from applications (e.g., Lib...

I finally got a black screen again, although perhaps I triggered it in an untypical way: I added mate (mint-mate-meta) to my seemingly-working LM 18.1 cinnamon system, then rebooted and selected Mate (M) on the LM18.1 login screen, and I got the black screen. (I can start mate if I specify the "...

I reinstalled LM 18.1 Cinnamon, and rebooted successfully multiple times. But later on, my system didn't shut down correctly after (I ended up doing a force-power-off), and the next startup failed: The LM splash screen displayed but the login screen never displayed (just a black screen with a white ...

I had temporarily put LM 17.3 back on the machine - will put LM 18.1 back on as a dual boot and then provide the answer. FWIW, under LM 17.3, here's what the command shows... rob@rob-EP45-UD3P ~ $ inxi -G Graphics: Card: NVIDIA GF104 [GeForce GTX 460 SE] Display Server: X.Org 1.17.1 drivers: nouveau...

I had this problem previously with LM 18 Mate. I do NOT have the problem with LM 17.x. Issue: When I do a fresh install of LM 18.1 on my desktop, at first all seems OK - the first couple boots / reboots work fine. But at some point (typically after I use Update Manager to install the ~46 or so outst...

(I see some other threads that deal with black screen issues, but none seems relevant to my issue...) On two PCs of very different vintage running LM18 Mate, I have the same problem: The PC seems to boot normally, I get the normal LM user login screen, but after I enter my userid/password and LM sta...

I'll have to look for the other thread(s) mentioned above on this problem, but I suffer it too (both upgrade and new installs, on some but not all computers). The most recent instance was on my home desktop, which had been running fine on LM 17.3 but displayed black screen after login once in did th...

I am having what I think is the same problem, or at least the same symptom - Nemo 2.6.7 under Mint 17.2 is incredibly slow / unresponsive when I attempt to rename files. It takes 5-10 sec or so to recognize each of my keyboard inputs (e.g., moving cursor, deleting characters, typing characters). If ...

Thanks, crusader, good point, will do so. -RL

(more) When I attempt to open a document by right-clicking it and selecting LO as the application, I still briefly get two instances of LO (or, at least, two taskbar icons): The first is labeled "<filename>" in the taskbard, while the second is labeled "Opening <filename>" ).

I'm running the Mate version of Mint 17. When I try to start LibreOffice by double-clicking on a file in my Caja display, two instances of LibreOffice open (the second times out / dies after a few seconds, just leaving the first, which run normally). This problem seems peculiar to Libreoffice - when...

Thanks, all, for your help and comments! -RL

When I double-click a particular folder, caja begins to display the folders content, but then closes unexpectedly. I have this problem with just the one folder. The folder is not all that big - 66 mp3 files. The unexpected close doesn't always happen - half the time, it caja opens and displays the f...

Thanks, cwsnyder. I'll probably just use my USB card reader for now. Do you know - is there someplace I should post a bug / trouble report about my problem? Thanks for your help -RL

I've just installed (fresh install) LM16 / Mate on my laptop, and have found I'm unable to mount / access my digital camera (a Canon Powershot S100) from my computer. Previously (e.g., fresh install of LM15 / Mate), I didn't need to take any special action to mount the camera: I'd connect the camera...

Monstra's suggestion that I select a different repository via mintsources resolved the problem for me. I removed the PPA I had added for mscore, changed the repository (to one in Sweden, as it happens), and updated cache. After that, I went to the Mint Software Manager, found musescore now to be lis...

OK, thanks. I'll give that a try over the weekend, and will report back. Thanks again for your help! -RL

I ran the apt-get update and then reran the apt-cache commands. The output from the apt-cache commands is unchanged from my previous attempt. Thx, RL
