Re: Grub working, but display is not visible

I kind of wonder if this is similar to my issue....on two different boxes, one a desktop, the other a thinkpad e585 dual boot. Everything worked fine until Dec 28 when I did an update. After telling it to go ahead, it gave me another window telling me it needed to also install 'grub2-theme-mint' and...

No updates in Tessa as of 1/4/19

No errors, just not one update in Tessa Cinnamon since initial install updates. I have received only an update for timezone and Opera, but that's it, very strange. :?:

Re: No software updates since upgrading to 19.1

Hey folks, nothing wrong with 19.1 and software updates, it's just that folks must be on vacation. How do I know it's working? Just got an upgrade for gscan2pdf with a brand new update today. As long as I'm here, I'd mention to everyone that if you scan, check out the program...it's a one stop shopp...

Mint 19 Swap File vs. old swap partition (SOLVED)

I'm currently running 18.3 Cinnamon and am planning on upgrading to 19 when it is fully released. I've heard that 19 will be using a swap file as opposed to the current swap partition. Questions: Will this happen automatically? If not Do I need to do something, is the swap file created on updating o...

Re: Backup Tool

Having just upgraded my Wife's PC from 18.2, I have to agree with the sentiment regarding Backup Tool. If I upgrade my PC I will resort to luckybackup. Sorry one step forward 2 back.

Re: Backup Tool

Bottom line...is Clem and the team aware that there are many of us who are not happy with the new backup tool, especially in reference to backing up software selection....ALL of the packages, not just stuff installed since install of 18.3 ? Add to that, yes, you can list them from the command line i...

Re: Backup Tool in 18.3

No matter what I've tried, I'm still not having any success even after the update to .32....

Also, if I run the 'dpkg --get-selections' output to a .list file, restore Software Selection says "The selected file is not a valid software selection."

I'm already running a vanilla desktop so all I had left to turn off was the weather and that didn't help either. I think it's about time to call it quits unless anyone has any other idea. There...
