Linux Mint Forums

Thank you @kato181. The problem is now resolved (after doing a "Repair Packages").

Happy to report the issue is now resolved. I went into the boot menu and booted using recovery mode for the latest kernel. That worked. Rebooted and went into boot menu again. This time I ran the "Repair Packages" option. I could see in the logs that it was definitely working on Nvidia-rel...

Thank you for the reply, @kato181. You may well be right about the driver, as I am using NVidia drivers, and they have always been a pain. Sadly, I did not have the foresight to use timeshift, so that is not an option

Are there any ways I can repair my installation?

Hi all, My Linux Mint 21.1 (Cinnamon) installation has been working fine for a while, but today it broke :( I was installing updates via the Update Manager when suddenly the screen went blank and it stopped responding. Eventually I rebooted. It's a full-disk encrypted installation, so I was prompted...

Thanks @smurphos! Your suggestions helped me to get it working again. I ended up needing to do a Reset of the panel. Confession time: It turns out it was "user error" on my part. I had been playing around with the launcher icons on the left, trying to get them the way I wanted. And I didn'...

Hi, I'm running Mint 19.2 Mate in two VirtualBox guests (though I don't think VirtualBox is the issue). They have been running well until just now. I just used the Update Manager to install the latest updates, and rebooted them. Now the taskbar no longer shows open apps. I can open multiple apps and...

so when you open chromium it connects to and opens more than 100 tabs everytime? Yes, though I don't think it actually connects to every site on restart. I believe the tabs remain inactive until I click on them. If they were all opened, performance would degrade to a crawl or my machine would likel...

I have hundreds of actual tabs -- no bookmarks.

Thanks,
Greg

Thanks to everyone for the help! I eventually deleted the entire home/greg/.config/chromium folder, and that resolved the issue. No more auto-fill of passwords. (I was concerned about losing all of my open tabs -- as I have hundreds -- but found an extension called TabFern that enabled me to back th...

Thank you! Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue

Hi all, I am in the process of switching to using a new password manager (BitWarden). But, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get Chromium to "forget" some of the passwords I had previously saved to it. It insists on "auto-filling" these passwords. Login.png I have made the fol...

Hold the phone! It's fixed! :-) MrEen, You first asked me to inspect the jack and make sure it is fully seated. Somehow I glossed over that and focused on pavucontrol. That was it! I guess when I plugged in the new keyboard, I must have partially dislodged the jack, causing the problem. I'm quite am...

Thanks administrollaattori. I tried the scripts, but when it's running, I get no sound at all. (Without Pulse Audio there is no sound.) Thanks, also, MrEen. I installed pavucontrol, but it does something similar to the Sound Settings dialog. Flickers back and forth between "Establishing connect...

I anticipate someone may ask for this, so here goes: $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital] Subdevice...

Hi all, I'm experiencing a very strange issue with audio on my Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64-bit installation. For the last day or so, audio has stuttered so badly that videos almost grind to a complete halt. While investigating, I went to the Sound Settings configuration page (Output tab), and noticed that...

Thank you for the reply! That makes sense.

Hi linux22, Thanks for the fantastic tutorial! It was extremely helpful. I have a few question: If I enter my password incorrectly, I will immediately be taken to the "grub rescue>" prompt. Is this what I should expect (rather than another chance to enter the password correctly)? Is there ...

Just to add to the solution (for completeness purposes), I also had to add entries similar to the following to the start of the crontab: USER=user_to_log_out USERNAME=user_to_log_out SESSION_MANAGER=local/my_machine_name:@/tmp/.ICE-unix/7758,unix/my_machine_name:/tmp/.ICE-unix/7758 DISPLAY=$DISPLAY ...

Thanks for the reply. I did discover that I had installed a slightly older version of the app, not the latest. When I installed the latest, I was able to log in successfully. Sorry I forgot to update this post.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi ygg, Did you ever get this problem solved? I seem to be having the same issue. The "Please grant NixNote access" box appears so briefly I can barely read the title, but then disappears again. I never get prompted for any login information. I have not yet been able to connect to my Evern...
