I would like to install a fresh copy of LM on my main PC. I downloaded the iso and created a live USB. It works when I boot it on my laptop with Mint 21. But it fails when I try to do that on the PC with Windows 10. Here's the output: [ 0.570683] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init ...

The problem is Thunar 4.18 The solution is to right click on the desktop icon for the application>Edit launcher. Make the edit box wide enough to see the whole command string - or as much as possible at one time. Copy the command to an editor or somewhere just to keep the original safe. Edit the co...

Hello,
I recently upgraded from Linux Mint 21.1 XFCE to 21.2 and ever since then all my wine program icons that are on the desktop fail to open. All other icons like Firefox, Trash, Home, work fine. How do I fix the ones that stopped working? Thanks.

I was wondering if there is a significant difference in performance between Vera XFCE (21.1) vs Elsie Cinnamon (5) based on Debian? My laptop is not the newest and I need to cut down on CPU resources needed to run the system. I am currently running vanilla Debian Bullseye with XFCE, and performance ...

Thank you all for your input and spot on replies!

Hello, I love the dark theme but I would like to change one aspect of the Mint-Y dark. It is impossible for me to see the borders, arrows, search button because they are too dark on a dark background. Ideally, I would like them to have more contrast so they are more visible. Where are the files loca...

Wow, thank you for your input and the 3 output tests. Yes, I suppose I will need to look into what is on autostart, I know I have Dropbox, blue light filter, and I think that's it. I was thinking that maybe the fact that I have LM installed on a HDD rather than an SSD might slow things down a little?

Hello, I'm a loooong time user of LM, and a fan too boot, I have a question regarding Linux Mint's performance. I find that LM 20.2 Mate that is installed on my system seems so slow in comparison to previous versions. Upon boot without opening any applications the System Monitor shows 1.8GB (out of ...

Thank you

Hello, I have a laptop Lenovo Intel Core i7-3632QM CPU 2.20 GH x8, 8GB RAM, Mesa DRI Intel @ HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2) I also have a PC Lenovo AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor × 12, 16GB RAM, Graphics: llvmpipe (LLVM 11.0.0, 256 bits) On both I have Linux Mint 20 Mate installed. The performance of...

First, how do I disable fbdev? Second, I am attaching a picture of the boot screen (after I enter the default boot Linux Mint 20 line) - I don't see "nomodeset" parameter there. Third, in the driver manager, I keep on reverting to the "recommended" NVidia driver. And it works fin...

Hello, dexl. The problem symptom, which can be spotted in the inxi report (system information), section "Graphics" is that 2 drivers have been loaded for your Nvidia graphics card: nouveau and fbdev. Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650] vendor: ZOTAC driver: N/A bus ID: 0d:...

Yet another kernel update broke my resolution. I don't think I understand why this is happening and frankly, no one has explained it up till now. I have another Mint system on a laptop and updates to the kernel DO NOT break the resolution. WHY IS THAT? What is wrong with my stationary PC (brand new,...

I am talking about the DEFAULT Update Manager updates that are apparently "safe" to install. :( I guess it's a new kernel update (not that I want to, but the Update Manager tells me there are new updates every few days or so). And so every few days or so my resolution display gets broken!!...

Here's the update. I tried all the commands you suggested, one by one, replacing the "?" with the correct URI and trying different PPDs. Neither of them worked properly (the printer spitting out empty pages non-stop). Eventually I deleted all the printers from the settings, added it again,...

Probably because my institution has 3 different printers set up. I guess? this is the reason. I am going to try what you suggested and post the results here. Thank you so much in advance!

I am unsuccessfully trying to install the Ricoh Aficio 2022 driver. The default one recognizes the printer but the printer spits out empty pages for as long as there is paper in the tray. There is no way to make it work. So I downloaded a Ricoh Aficio 2022 .ppd driver but Linux Mint doesn't let me a...

Let me continue this happy thread with the sad one. Freshly installed LM20 displays pretty mint wallpaper on the projector (and nothing else). And trying to fix this in Displays, it turned off my laptop screen completely, nothing on the projector, I was forced to reboot to Windows. No problems there...
