Re: Screen not turning off
It's Chrome Developer Tools opened in a separate window. If I close that window than the screen switches itself off according to power settings, if it's on, power settings stop working. With the older kernel (5.0.0.32) this issue doesn't exists. Well, I will just shut the developer tools window when...

Screen not turning off
Since the last update my screen always stays on despite the power settings telling it to turn off after 10 minutes, also the 'suspend when inactive for' option doesn't seem to work as I set it up for 2 hours and after 4 hours the computer is not suspended. I noticed that after rebooting the machine ...

Re: External vertical monitor using more resources.
I thought maybe a solution would be making the system see the clockwise rotation as normal, so I swapped width with height in monitors.xml :
<width>1080</width>
<height>1920</height>
<rotation>normal</rotation>
but that didn't help.
<width>1080</width>
<height>1920</height>
<rotation>normal</rotation>
but that didn't help.

Re: External vertical monitor using more resources.
With the 'modestting' driver: (1) External monitor in vertical position (clockwise rotation) results in screen tearing; (2) External monitor in horizontal position (no rotation) computer no screen tearing. With the 'intel' driver there's less screen tearing, but with no rotation (horizontal position...

External vertical monitor using more resources.
I'm using a ThinkPad SL510 from 2009 with Tricia 19.3, Cinnamon 4.4.8 and noted that when using a 21" external monitor via VGA in vertical mode with Display settings 'Rotation: clockwise' it uses much more resources. It produces some screen tearing. I changed the driver of my GPU to Intel and i...

Disabling default network manager
Hello, I want to disable the network manager as it looses connection all the time and use Wicd network manager. At the moment I have both running. In Mint 18.3 I used this command and it worked: systemctl disable NetworkManager.service but in Mint 19.2 it doesn't work. It doesn't do anything apart f...

Re: Realtek RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter Intermittent Disconnect
I had a similar issue. Wi-Fi would stop working from time to time (every third, second day) and only restarting the computer would help. I think I tried all solutions i found on the Internet and nothing helped until I followed the advice of changing the network manager. Installing Wicd Network Manag...
