Thanks. I booted off an Ubuntu live usb, installed Timeshift and restored from the last image. Back to Mint 18.3 and a working system.

PS. I did the timeshift and the backup before the upgrade but I'm not sure how to access them since I can't login.

I was running Mint 18 and upgraded to Mint 18.3 with no problems. Then I tried the Mint 19 upgrade and it got stuck somewhere in the middle. When I rebooted, I get the Mint 19 login screen and it lets me login but then it jumps right back to the login screen. Suggestions?

Setting the MTU to 8194 didn't work.

And holding the Shift and E keys didn't get me to the boot menu. But holding down the Shift key while it booted enabled the networking again.

The shift key doesn't give me the boot menu so how do I tell it to use a previous kernel?

And I was able to upgrade to the latest kernel and I still have the problem.

Try holding down the shift key while you boot. For some reason, my networking now only works if I hold down the shift key while booting.

Very weird problem. I upgraded to Mint 18 and lost my networking. While trying to research fixes, I found a post that suggested holding down the shift key while booting to get to the grub menu so I tried it. I never got to the menu but when my system booted, my wired networking was working. I instal...

I have a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop that started with Windows 7 and I installed Mint 17.3 to make it dual-boot. Then I tried to upgrade the 17.3 to 18 via the packages and broke it (failed upgrade and now it boots to 17.3 but there's no networking at all). If I want to wipe the 17.3 and install 18 a...

I tried to upgrade my dual-boot laptop from 17.3 to 18 and it ran into problems. I have some ideas on how to proceed but while both eth0 and wlan0 seem to be functional, I can't pull an IP address. And any USB stick I insert gives me a "Not Authorized to Mount" error. Any suggestions?

Thanks very much for trying to help. Since I needed to get back online quickly, I went ahead and reinstalled Mint. My /home was on a second hard drive so after editing my fstab file, I was back at my normal desktop. I guess I should add [Solved] to the post title to show that my problem is fixed eve...

http://paste2.org/kkCPNZ44 The install and boot repair seemed to go okay. I rebooted with the usb stick still connected, chose "boot from local disk" and it hung after showing maybe 20-30 lines of text. So I shut down using the Magic SysRq key combo, pulled the usb stick and started it bac...

I set up this system months and months ago and haven't had any problems with it until today. When I went to shut it down on Friday, it seemed to hang at a blank screen with the mouse pointer. I left it for a while and then held the power button down to turn the computer off. So I go to boot today an...

It's a small thing but my boss borrowed my Win7/Mint 17 dual-boot laptop to test some networking software and now my network settings are wonky. I seem to be connected via ethernet and wireless but the "No Network Connection" icon is showing at the bottom right of my screen. Any suggestion...

Not sure if this is the right forum for these minor Mint 17 questions but they've been bugging me for a while so I thought I would ask. For moving files from one folder to another, sometimes I can "cut" and then "paste into folder". Other times, the "paste into folder" ...

Please elaborate WinterTroubles. Thanks.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. I wasn't able to get the left shift to work (probably due to my kvm setup) so I kept looking and I eventually booted off a Knoppix Live CD, found my way to the grub.cfg file and used the thread linked above to modify my boot parameter and I'm now able to boot a...

Trying again. I had some problems once I installed Mint 14 Mate to a newly built box so I'm trying to reinstall booting off a usb drive. I get the Mint menu, select Linux Mint and then get a login screen that says "user Mint will log in in 10 seconds". So I wait and it loops me back to the...

I have a workbench where I build the computers and once they're done, I move them to where I want them to be for day to day use. In this case, on top of my desk.
