Was it a fresh install of LM22 or did you do an in-place upgrade from LM21.3?
If it was the latter, have you tried testing a live session of LM22 to see if it has the same behavior?

I do too. Nice job.

It's both screens flickering green for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute before the system reboots. The system reboots without you doing anything? That sounds like a hardware issue. Are you sure your computer's PSU (power supply unit) is in good shape and properly sized for the load? What is the...

Have there been any crashes today? I see yesterday's date on the screenshot you posted from the System Reports app.

Hey, SMG, thanks for all the effort at looking things up, the insights you've shared, and the extra tips. I was completely lost as to what I was doing and what was wrong before; now I have a much better idea of what's going on. I will also make a note to use Timeshift in the future. You're welcome....

currrently, i am struck with E:The package libc6 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. I should contact a developer... neither do i know how to how to determine the correct dev nor do i know how to fix it. can this forum help me? I think you should revert to the Timeshift sna...

Thank you for the suggestions. I was still having the Xid error 62 on Nvidia-470 (the same "symptoms¨, but interestingly not followed on the log by Xid error 109 for some reason). I've followed your instructions to resolve the phantom monitor bug and updated to Nvidia-550. Xid error 62 was pre...

2. PPA the root cause? Here is where I could kick myself for doing two things at once so I don't really know. However, I decided to remove the PPA even though the program was no longer installed. Next I went looking for the config file and the user config directory in /etc and deleted those. Reboot...

Hey SMG. I don't know. Other than following what I've read that Secure Boot should be turned off. Turning off secure boot is a separate setting from UEFI/Legacy. You can and should leave the computer on UEFI. Secure Boot does not have to be disabled, but you can do so if you want. I'm an retired AS...

So, I was able to get the wide screen setting on the monitor after using a DVI to VGA adpater, the DVI end attaching to the laptop dock and the vga end intercepting the VGA input into the monitor. After doing that, the option for wide screen settings popped up on the display panel. Cables and adapt...

Samsung support would be my guess. Does Samsung have a support page for your computer?

Where do you have plank and polybar on your desktop? Are they on both monitors or just one? Just one That might relate to this issue. When I researched polybar, it seemed like it was only for a couple of Desktop Environments and Cinnamon was not one of the ones listed. I couldn't remember why i ins...

I'm pretty sure it was after a systemctl suspend command rather than a GUI suspend, but it definitely wasn't a result of pm-suspend. I can't remember if I did anything after suspending and the computer auto-waking that would add to the dmesg. Okay. It looks similar to what you just posted. The belo...

I believe this is the tutorial I used for installing the CUDA toolkit: https://iceburn.medium.com/installing-nvidia-drivers-and-cuda-on-linux-mint-21-3-16acdc0b0083 That is a tutorial for LM21.3 which is not what you are running. Plus it uses what I would call "non-standard" directions fo...

And how you are enabling them? In the configuration section checking the right button. I do not know why they would come up as disabled by default. I don't believe that is usually the case. :? I seem to recall at least one other person having a connected monitor (not through a dock) coming up as di...

the flickering stop when the system done booting. is that the problem? If the flickering stops when the system is done booting, then the link I provided does not apply. That link is for people who always have some flickering even when running normally. I do not know why the screen might be flickeri...

the driver for it entered the mainline kernel in version 3.9. That means you should not need the driver you downloaded Hey, well that's sorta good news. Sorry, new to this Linux thing: Do I need to undo anything with what I started with the driver installation or can I just delete those files now? ...
