I doubt Win 10 has anything to do with this problem. Again, the problem is boot to LM20 -> logon screen -> enter password -> if not current internet connection ( wifi ) Cinnamon won't load and will get stuck ( probably waiting for internet connection ) and another view on this peculiar problem hyber...

Here is a situation: - mint 20 dual boot win 10 - internet cafe, so need to to thru the logon page to use internet ( all worked fine until internet cafe changed the logon procedure ) - clean boot in mint 20 problem: after entering password on longon screen cinnamon desktop does not load, just stays ...

In older mint in Gnome 2 desktop I could add an applet to the upper panel with a drop down app menu list, see picture attached is showing Gnome 2 desktop with GAMEs menu applet activated and the drop down list of all apps under Games category --> Is this possible in Cinnamon, I can't seem to find an...

My experience on a 15 year old 32bit laptop( made circa 2005, old clunker ) - dual boot win 10 pro + lmde 4 32bit , 2 gigs or ram + 250g regular hard drive, lmde installation was straight forward and went without a hitch... ( I was pleasantly surprised ) The easiest way: PART 1: win 10 installation ...

Well, after a little more digging I found the solution in this thread --> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/377973/hibernation-resume-fail-on-linux-kernel-4-9-0-debian-9 The issue is due to a conflict between hibernate and kASLR on x86-32. This can be solved by disabling kASLR with the nokasl...

After switching from nouveau driver to nvidia driver, typically plymouth boot splash ( lm logo with/without dots ) is knocked out and replaced with NVIDIA splash screen ( basically nvidia wallpaper ). If you are running on SSD, don't bother with plymouth boot splash, it's too slow and will not show ...

Here is my attempt replace black screen aka basic grub theme with something a little bit better. ( Mind you, I got the notorious NVIDIA card/driver + SSD that knocked out my plymouth bootsplash screen ) So in this specific case ( NVIDIA driver + SSD ) my goal was: 1. replace grub basic black screen ...

Antikythera, thanks for the pointer on that older theme + I agree grub customizer is a bit of a clunker at the moment... Pbear, I installed those 2 themes from synaptic -> search -> grub theme mint and mint2k, they do work but they are not too pretty, but! background can be changed by replacing back...

Hi all,
I have a picture attached here of a nice Grub theme but I can't seem the name or the download anywhere on the web...

Any ideas where to get the file for this theme?

ps. I disabled slow plymouth bootsplash by removing "splash" command from grub, left "quiet" in there this indeed worked: journalctl -b | grep -i plymouth I now get: Oct 10 16:58:24 val-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Show Plymouth Boot Screen ...

Before: Bios screen -> Grub -> Bootsplash->Login Screen... Now:Bios screen -> Grub custom Background -> Black screen abou...

Hold your horses here, from my research this problem with messages at shutdown at this point it's cosmetic as many users report and it looks like it's a systemd bug. Read my post, there is a fix but for Arch, else you have to wait till systemd version 245.5 and even then there is no guarantee to fix...

LM20 Cinnamon If those console messages during boot, shutdown, suspend or hiberate bother you and if you want clean cosmetic boot, shutdown, suspend and hibernate ie NO CONSOLE MESSAGES then this solution is for you: no need to tinker with printk or systemd loglevels just one simple command will red...

Update: I found the simplest and elegant way to remove suppress delete ALL console messages during BOOT, SHUTDOWN, SUSPEND, HIBERNATE per this post https://askubuntu.com/questions/1085629/how-to-really-suppress-kernel-messages-during-boot edit grub config flie like this: sudo xed /etc/default/grub a...

+++ about solving by updating. I really don't like to run updates when my system is stable... + this problems seems like cosmetic. It can break the installation + it clutters it. + there is no guarantee to fix the issue unless it's really common I'd rather research the issue and do a local fix. The ...
