This user guide may give you some more information what to do and what to expect.

Thank You. This is helpful.

Are you sure there weren't bigger jumps than that for upgrading? Like right now, how far a jump is there to the current version?

I have Linux Mint 17.3 with multiple users, and I want to transition to the newest version of Mint (21). Can I just follow the installation guide that is provided for more recent transitioning to Mint 21, or are there added steps I will have to take? If there are added steps, what I am looking at ha...

I need to upgrade from Linux Mint 17.3, to the new Linux Mint 20.2. I have multiple user profiles, as well as want to use two hard drives, with one for the operating system, and the other one for everything else. Is there a guide I can use to do this, or is it multiple steps needed (since I’m so out...

Where is user/groups password file located?

I’m logged in, but I forgot my Root password. I changed two weeks ago, but either forgot to create a note, or lost it. If possible, i’d like to find the file that houses the password, and just change it there if possible. Or is that not possible?

This guide helped me solve my problem. A number of suggestions here.

If that doesn't work, then open System Settings > Display, and manually arrange the screens correctly. Be sure the box next to Mirror Displays is not checked. Press Apply. This seems to have solved the problem. Odd that worked, and not the Catalyst Program. You would think it would be the other way...

The only problem I see is that the refresh rate in the monitors.xml file for the Dell monitor shows 60, but the xrandr output and xorg.conf file show 75. Is the Dell monitor an actual CRT (cathode ray tube), and not a flat panel monitor? If it is, then 75 should be used. Change the value from 60 to...

I tried posting my Xorg.0.log file on here as well, but Linux Mint Forums keeps having a problem with it. If I try to preview, it deletes the message and says "Your message contains too few characters". odd.

I position my monitor with Catalyst Control Center (with a larger Samsung monitor on the right, and a smaller Dell monitor on the left), save my settings, but when I reboot the monitors re-position themselves to the wrong position. :?: I cleaned up my monitors.xml file, but that didn't fix anything....

Could a moderator move this thread to the video hardware forums? I didn't see that previously.

I forgot to link.

Here is where you can download Zotero for Linux.

Zotero Linux Download

Sounds like Zotero now has Linux specific downloads without having to go through a big rigamarole. 64 bit too.

It even has plugins for LibreOffice.

Still no luck. Anyone want to chime in?

My hardware is an AMD Radeon HD 6670 video card.

OK. Uninstalled the AMD drivers, cleaned off files, the reinstalled. Still had the monitors.xml with problems, (and then three repeated bits) so I edited it. It is now the code below, but there is still the same problem happening. I have to reset the monitors after reboot. What am I missing. Is ther...

I have been having problems with the positions of my monitors. When I boot and log in, they are in the wrong place. I use AMD Catalyst and get everything correct, then when rebooting it goes back to the previous configuration. I want the smaller Dell monitor on the left, and the bigger Samsung one o...

No one answered my post, but I kept digging and another site mentioned something that solved my problem. To fix Adblock Plus (and possibly other extensions) not installing properly, do the following: Step 0: (I assume you did this previously) Write down the extensions ID, and Uninstall Adblock Plus ...

I have Google Chrome and when I try to install Adblock Plus it posts an error message that says " Cannot move extension directly into Profile ". How do I fix that and get Adblock Plus to install? I previously had Adblock Plus installed in Chrome, but uninstalled it because it was updating ...

My internet connection likely isn't the issue. I can use a family members computer on the same line and it works fine. I currently have Linux Mint 15, but I was thinking of upgrading here in a day or so (ugh...). Also I have 3.9 GiB of memory that is DDR2, and likely mid-range memory. Also the game ...

My main use for this computer besides websurfing, is playing Star Trek Online (that's what is most important to me). I have had difficulty of late (the game is somewwhat laggy), and have had to resort to a family members computer. I was hoping a CPU upgrade would be enough to keep me in the game. If...
