Re: Random slow boot Mint 19.3 (how I fixed it)
I fixed my slow boot-shutdown problems, thought I'd pass this on. I'm running Mint 19.3 Tricia, Cinnamon Desktop on a Dell 1545 Laptop. I've been having slow boot and shutdown problems for a while. Studying the system logs and monitoring the boot process (no Splash) didn't help. I didn't notice anyt...

Re: [TUTORIAL] Installing Mint on a Windows 8/8.1/10 Computer
Thanks gold_finger for the tutorial. I was active with MS up until XP, which is when I discovered Ubuntu & Mint so the tutorial was a great reference & help. I just installed Mint 18.2 on my 84 year old Aunt's Dell Laptop 15-5000 with no problems at all by following your well written tutoria...

Re: Cell Phone Won't Mount
Many thanks for this seasoned_geek. I'm running Mint 17.1, my Doro phone mounted & I transferred photos the first time I tried it. But it never would after that.
Following your fix solved the problem.

Re: Printing set-up solution for canon pixma iP90 printer
Years ago I had the same problem with Mint & Canon Pixma iP90. I found that plugging the printer in to the USB, the system will see the printer and it will start searching for drivers. I cancel the search, then just click forward. You'll get to a list of printers, Canon will probably be selected...

Hi - I've just recently started having the same problem.
Computer is a 5 year old Dell 1545, Mint 16 installed, separate system/home partitions.
Running the above commands worked fine.
Several reboots/restarts and so far....so good.
Many thanks....

Re: FREEZING
Hello, I have been having screen-computer freezes for quite some time with Mint-12 but not 11 or 10, they worked fine. Control+Backspace and REISUB did nothing. Meanwhile the cooling fans are running at or near full speed indicating a heavy CPU load. I was having to power off/on each time. I have tr...

Hi, I locked to Stable-Sqeeze in early March. I had one problem but I'm not sure it's a OS problem or not. My keyboard appeared to be faulty, I had to use xvkbd while another one was ordered - however before it arrived it "fixed" itself and is still working. This is on a Dell Inspiron 1545...

Hi Folks, I have been using MintUpdate levels 1,2,3 on LMDE with no problems (so far). After reading the update discussion I enabled levels 4 & 5 in MintUpdate and then went to synaptic and checked the upgradable packages for comparison. They are identical. I then checked and found that VLC and ...

Also sometimes the Package manager wouldn't open, I never saw the password window and I had to click outside the menu to close it. All of this appears to be working normall...
