Attached, both the requested inxi after DVD boot and after regular boot (I attached an inxi above anyways)

>Is secure boot turned off?

yes, secure boot is off on this system right now (dual boot with win10)
but it must be turned on whenever I upgrade that system to win11 ...

Linux warp10 5.13.0-21-generic #21~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 26 15:49:20 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Hi all, I installed the xfce version of Mint 20.2 and changed the kernel to 5.13.0 due to "F0 ... (broken BIOS?)" messages. Almost everything works fine, including my USB devic...

For all those, who encounter the same problem. It seems that Mint20.2 installs the initial user with SystemAccount=true in /var/lib/AccountsService/username After having changed that to false, my user appeared in the lightdm list. Furthermore, PNG Files can be selected and displayed when logged in, ...

Problem 1 solved. It seems, pkexec didn't like my shell (/bin/ksh) ;) Now that Login Window can be executed, it seems, it stored some values somewhere (still dont understand, why sudo lightdm-settings did not), and the account 1001 (my daughter's account) is shown on the login screeen, and a field f...

Hi all, last week I got a new PC (B550-F + Ryzen 5900X), and I installed Mint 20.2 and a bit later, after I found some "EDAC amd64: Error: F0 not found, device 0x1650 (broken BIOS?) " in the logfiles, I installed the kernel 5.13.0-21-generic. So far, so good. But lightdm is not working pro...

>> Edit: Just fyi, repos for LTS codebases typically don't maintain the latest version of an application.

Sure, but at least it should be working version

I posted a comment at Ubuntu.

Thanks

Mint 20.2 Evolution 3.36.5 Hi, in the past days, my evolution mail started to show up errors. It reports that it uses outdated version of the Google APIs. The evolution developers refused to fix this problem as they say they don't answer questions for such an old version. They suggested to contact t...

Today, apt update/apt upgrade installed an upgraded (not updated) Thunderbird 78.7.1 on my system, which seems to have a lot of problems. The enigmail import button didn't let me open another window (like my keypassx) when I was asked for the pgp key password, and thus I do not know if the import wa...

Mint 20.04, latest upgrade Cheese 3.34.0 --- While the developers of the cheese program still claim on their website that the current cheese version has a built in menu option to access the preferences (important for me contrast, saturation, camera selection, and size of the picture), the Mint 20.04...

Good news: It seems that setting "Auto-negotiation" to Auto in the "Advance Network settings" (That's not the default for an unknown reason), helps solve the problem, even if the module parameters of the r8168 had already been set to autoneg_mode=1 Apparently, the NetworkManager ...

I used ip link set dev enp5s0f0 down and ip link set dev enp5s0f0 up As of the nmcli, the down works fine, while the up times out after 45 seconds $ nmcli c up 5d1408ff-b3af-35c5-b644-ee98c32375bb Error: Connection activation failed: IP configuration could not be reserved (no available address, time...

Another add on: Using the 8168 driver, it seems, unplugging the network cable on the pc side, and plugging it in again seconds later, helps for that session. [No matter if this is a new cable or the same one I use without any problems in 19.3. It also does not matter to which of my switches I connec...

1. Rhetorical question: How would someone who just has the live cd and no internet at all install this driver on his machine? IMHO the driver should be on the live cd, either like the one downloadable from Realtek, or as a .deb file that can be installed on demand. 2a. Before rebooting into the newl...

Hi, have a look on this thread ....... may be it is helpfull : https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=323387 ummm, why do you think a solution for a wireless interface would be helpful for someone who does not have a wifi card at all? Btw: I also mailed Realtek, but no answer yet for 7 days.

I'm currently running Mint 19.3 with my onboard Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 04) working perfectly fine with the r8169 module (in 4.15.0-109 the driver for that is just a single r8169.c file, which claims to be ve...

Thanks, my entry now looks like menuentry 'Arch Bootmenu' --class archlinux --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 search --no-floppy --set=root --label bootArch configfile /grub/grub.cfg } because I have a separate /boot partition.

Some days ago, I installed Arch (sda3=/boot sda8=/) alongside Windows and Linux Mint 19.3 on my system and thought that a sudo update-grub would be enough to get a working entry for Arch Linux in my grub boot menu. > sudo update-grub Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub' Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub...
