mint 21.3 xfce live usb doesn't boot
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 ...

Re: Desktop launchers bricked after upgrade to 21.2
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...

Desktop launchers bricked after upgrade to 21.2
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.

Vera XFCE vs Elsie Cinnamon
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 ...

editing Mint-Y theme (or any other)
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...

Re: Linux Mint seems bloated?
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?

Linux Mint seems bloated?
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 ...

Re: display resolution broken after MintUpdate
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...

Re: display resolution broken after MintUpdate
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,...

Re: display resolution broken after MintUpdate
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,...

Re: Ricoh Aficio 2022
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!

Ricoh Aficio 2022 [SOLVED]
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...

Re: Overhead projected screen shows only wallpaper
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...
