Linux Mint Forums

Initially I had 3 monitors connected: 2 via DP and 1 via HDMI. I noticed a common problem: huge lag, when the monitors are not set to the same display dimensions (this post is not about that lag, but if there is a work around for this, I'm not against being informed :D ). Because the HDMI monitor i...

@SMG: Alrighty, thanks for the "7 is a year away" answer, that is helpful. But, whether I am "the only one" having this problem, I am having a problem, and the forum is supposed to be a place where "help" is provided . . . rather than deferred. Help has not been deferr...

I'm upset as for some very odd reason my older backups couldn't restore the previous version of this useless "update". Looking at the changes that happened yesterday, all is see is the Dutch translation added. That might be why your older backups are not changing what you see as a problem...

Yes I understood that I was telling MOK that the Nvidia driver could be trusted but what I didn't understand were the options presented to me as I had never seen them before. It's up to the computer manufacturer as to the specifics on how it is handled. Not all of them handle it the same way. ASUS ...

After difficulties and help from a friend I did install Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon (Edge) Edition ISO. Here is the copy of my System Information: Did you boot normally or did you boot in recovery mode to get this information? Or did you maybe use the nomodeset kernel parameter? (You should not use no...

I think it is all working now. All the configuration options are showing in the Nvidia X Server Settings now and it is even showing my monitor under the Display Settings. Good to hear. So this was all because I didn't know how to properly install my graphics drivers on this new system? Makes sense,...

Someone else ran into the same issue. It is confusing.

Yes.

I entered "sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key" in the terminal and entered a password and now it says <OK> at the bottom of the screen in the terminal but I can not click on it and enter on the keyboard does nothing either. It says I must choose a password now but not sure how to ...

...I also brought the laptop to the repair shop and they could not solve it with Windows on it - said AMD Ryzen with Radeon Graphics issue, wait for the driver update. Welcome to the forum, rollinas . Is your laptop still under warranty? Usually, if something is a problem in more than one operating...

I use my laptop normally for 2-5 hours, when suddenly it freezes making me have to restart it via button. After restarting, the computer may randomly crash during startup, it may be on the screen where there is only the Mint logo, it may be when my desktop has already appeared and I start to move m...

Please see the screenshot below: Clicked on insert image and cant even upload that to show you guys the screenshot. Jeesh. Welcome to the forum, Frikkie . Below the reply box is an Attachments tab. If your image is less than 200kB, you can attach it to a post. If it is larger than that, you can upl...

I know that was a very old thread, but running that script fixed the sound issue somehow. Good to see it did not change the kernel. The script likely turned on pulseaudio. I have no idea what you may have done for pulseaudio to not be running, but hopefully, it will automatically start like it shou...

Thank you SMG and I am a little confused about this. When you say "do not do the last sentence" I assume you mean I should not use this sentence "sudo update-secureboot-policy --new-key" and I should only use this sentence "sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key" i...

There is one version of the LMDE 6 ISO. The ISO will never be updated.

Updates for LMDE 6 (including updates for the Cinnamon desktop) come through Update Manager as they are released. That has already been happening.

I may hang on with Faye to test 7, if it isn't that far away . . . . It's more than a year away. ... in this case I did not install a boot loader for LMDE, because I have another system handling grub... . . . in my case that is complicated by 7 other linux installs, and a number of OSX's . . . . Yo...

After using the fix in Mesaan's post in https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=277959, sound and sound control is back. That code indicates, "This means that installing this custom patched kernel will no longer be required if you already use kernel 5.3 or newer!" Did you take a Time...

I also just discovered that MOK was the option I was presented with and I should have chosen another option which I believe was to sign a key for installing the Nvidia graphics driver. Which has to do with secure boot if I understand what I am reading? Welcome to the forum, heartmedication . Please...

So you have no idea what might have been happening? If you are letting video streams run while you are afk, then it's not as if nothing is happening on your computer. I've been using my computer as usual and the freezes still happen. This time I noticed a few more things while I was using it. Befor...
