Try a BIOS update (when available). Otherwise try this workaround:

Code: Select all

net.ifnames=0

That looks like the easiest option.

Please generate an overview of your system like this: - Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window) ; - make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines; - Copy/paste this command into the terminal: inxi -Fxz (if you type: the letter F is a capital letter) Press En...

I installed the latest Radeon Vega drivers

Maybe useful to know for others: how did you do that?

Welcome! And above all: have fun with Linux.

You have rather new hardware, so you might benefit from a kernel from a newer series. Try this:
Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels
Install the latest kernel of the 5.0 series. Then reboot.

If you have specific problems, folks here can help. If you just want general info, see these: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/clean-mint.html https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/speed-mint.html I advise that, of course (as they're my own pages). :P But you can also take a look a...

some would suggest: - 15 - 25Gb for / root - 4 - 8 Gb for /swap - rest of drive for /home I think that's a fine setup, and it simplifies some things nicely... like reinstalling while keeping your home, including data and settings, intact. (Please note that you should still make a backup when you're...

Opinions differ, but my opinion is that a separate /home is a needless complication:

I repeat: enable the Canonical Kernel Team PPA as described in my previous message, and install the latest kernel it has to offer (currently already the 5.3.x).

Try this: Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels Install the latest kernel of the 5.0 series . Then reboot. Updated, sadly still not working OK, take it one step further, and install the latest kernel of the 5.3 series like this: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/hacks-mint.html#ID8...

Try this:
Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels
Install the latest kernel of the 5.0 series. Then reboot.

shake my head at your theory about Napoleon's military success being due to his name The French wouldn't have appointed a Hombelin Poircuitte as general, so the military genius of poor Mr. Poircuitte would have remained hidden and unused. :twisted: Pjotr, you may or may not have noticed, I already ...

Names matter: I don't think Napoleon Bonaparte would have come so far, if his name would have been Hombelin Poircuitte or Judas Meurdesoif.

Don't open a bomb!

When you're a suicide terrorist, try this:

First try this:
Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels
Install the latest kernel of the 5.0 series. Then reboot and test.

With a bit of luck that kernel contains a newer Atheros driver that performs better.

The forum had severe and annoying slowdowns yesterday. I suppose that may have discouraged forum participation....

Tip: it's easy to reduce the writes on an SSD considerably, without sacrificing much:

I see the appeal but I think if we rename it we should move away from the Mint moniker for a proper separation. Originally the tools were forked from Ubuntu's stuff and Mint didn't call itself Mubuntu, either. Actually we could bring it full circle and call it Genome as a play on the G from my hand...
