Pretty much the same as MarkFreese. I did try a jump from the 20 kernel to the 24 kernel, bypassing the 23 kernel completely and still had boot problems. 24 acted nicer longer if I installed 23 first, but in the end, still had boot problems. I'm running a Mint Box 2 i-5 with onboard Intel graphics. ...

It ain't ugly y'all. Not at all. I had a girl like that once. so I know. Linux Mint (Mate) is BEAUTIFUL !!! I run the theme Mate installs with, except the wallpaper (Juergen Colorful Stone) and even that is from a previous Mint release. And I uninstall Compiz and disable compositing. I only need a c...

AHHhhhh !!! ... no wonder I got an update failed message. Maybe because I'm currently running in UEFI instead of Bios?
Think I'll break out Timeshift and see what kind of pain I can run into there LOL

Always have a liveUSB available and you're good. Yep ... I've reloaded LM-19 Mate a few times now from liveUSB ;) LOL ... but I get your point, sir ... whether or not that means anything to someone new to mint dunno . I'm retired and have lots of time to while away with stuff. LM19 Mate is stable a...

... Agree. Timeshift is wonderful (except for some minor glitches I'm still "playing with" but haven't mentioned or seen mentioned anywhere yet) ... yep WONDERFUL ... if you can boot to it ;) EDIT: Is it strange that Always show kernel update and Always select kernel updates ... update EVERYTHING ar...

... and for this very issue with 24 that so many are experiencing with a wide variety of hardware ... as well as based on every single piece of advice I've ever heard read in LM user manuals and the sage (semi) professional advice concerning upgrading the kernel in a Linux system ("if it ain't broke...

I don't think that's something they want on the front-page to scare people off I think. And was just gonna say my usual about -24 having been removed days ago, but no mirror can really be that slow so I just checked and apparently Canonical re-added the kernel to the repositories, both xenial and b...

Yep, I figured that gm10. Just wanted to play with it I guess. Sometimes it would boot normally and sometimes not. Sometimes when it didn't boot normally and I tried to get to the grub menu in order to boot an earlier kernel ... it would give me a grub menu "if it wanted to" or maybe not or maybe a ...

Running an Intense PC MintBox 2 I've had for about a year and bought by following a link from "linuxmint dot com" ... A computer promoted by Linux Mint and shipped with Linux Mint installed. When I purchased the MintBox 2, I did upgrade it with a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB drive and all the RAM it wi...

Contact the person who installed it for you and initially set up the password. They may remember the password

I followed the advice on the linux Mint Blog ... "Security notice: Meltdown and Spectre" ... https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3496 Haven't noticed any performance loss or problems. That said, you could use the Update Manager (toolbar: VIEW > Linux Kernels) to list/view Linux Kernels ... those that may ...

Thanks for the links phd21 !!! Was wondering if this might also work?

UPDATE: Looks like I got lucky and ordered RAM that will work in the MintBox 2 I have not received the RAM yet, but have heard back from fit-PC technical support Below is a link to fit-PC systems compatible RAM modules The MintBox 2 isn't specifically listed on the spreadsheet but technical support ...

Ran across this concerning Intel graphics. Don't know if it might help with your situation or not but may be worth a read/try. The site belongs to and was written by a member here. I have Intel graphics on a MintBox 2, applied the tweak and everything seems to be working fine ... Step 6 ... Improve ...

An "oh by the way": A few minutes ago when I purchased from Amazon, the selection showed only 1 left in stock @ $112.49 .... It had gone from 2 to 1 in stock in a matter of only a few minutes, so I pulled the trigger on the last one. Now, the link shows "In Stock" @ $145.39. Not sure what was going ...

Not only is the RAM not in the correct format ... I need SODIMM size ....

... in the meantime, I just sent an email to fit-PC technical support for assistance. Guess I'll find out how responsive they are.
Just thought for sure someone here has a MintBox 2 and upgraded the RAM and could chime in. Thanks !!!

MintBox 2 arrived in the mail today. It shipped with 4GB RAM (2GB x 2) and I'd like to upgrade to 16GB (8GB x 2) but not sure I will find and choose the correct RAM. I looked on the Crucial memory site but Compulab /fit-PC isn't listed. I'm sure they have memory that would work ... just afraid I'd p...
