Linux Mint Forums

I've had screen tearing with Intel video with every Mint Mate version I've installed.
This fix posted by Portreve 4yrs ago solved my problem, and still works ... viewtopic.php?f=208&t=224942#p1197049

@JoeBingo don't get me started, please. were you expecting me to expect that at the bottom of the webpage lecturing about privacy and freedom there is a banner with some 16x16 icons that says press on its logo to add the search engine? were you? yeah issue is not with mint or firefox problems can g...

Hello Karl my complaint is that there isn't an add button to add any other search engine but just one to remove it and the link to the webpage I have already mentioned in the post https://pasteboard.co/J4oO3TV.png Dude, scroll down to the bottom of the page YOU linked and find "OTHER ENGINES" with ...

See item 8 (and 9) here ...

I've noticed my desktop with 19.3 Mate seems to run up to about 10 degrees cooler than previous releases. Wondering if anyone else is having this experience? I can't really say all things are equal with the various releases because maybe it's the time of year or maybe the setup and something tweaked...

Stick with Cinnamon then. I prefer Mate. Tried Cinnamon a couple of times over the years but been a good long while. Cinnamon just wasn't as stable as Mate was for me at the time. Besides, I came from XP and Mate seemed to be a great replacement. Maybe Mate doesn't "glitter and pop", maybe seems pla...

There is no boot from USB option. The Bios does not allow me to pick a boot option. Enter UEFI (BIOS) through pressing ESC. In 'Boot' tab: 'Disable Fastboot'. Press F10 to save & exit. Immediately press ESC again and in 'Boot' tab: your USB drive should be listed - change the order. Press F10 to sa...

While I do like the System Report application, I'd rather see it as on demand and not constantly running in the background.

You can disable or remove it from your startup applications the usual way for your desktop environment (they all have their own GUI tool for that).

Ah Ha ... thanks

I have a Fusion5 T50 with an Atom processor and have Mint Mate installed. It previously had Win10. With the USB stick in one of the USB ports, restart the computer and press the ESC button (not F1 or F2) ... not too fast and not too many times, or you may get a menu other than BIOS. Play with it. An...

I like the system reports too. Haven't received any additional System Report notifications since installing 19.3 Mate and dealing with the 3 prompts. As to the setting of root password, I had what I thought was a weird instance. Before installing 19.3 Mate, I was running 19.2 Mate and Update Manager...

I'm actually impressed. Don't think I could have done that in a million years if I tried. But if it did happen, think I'd start over with fresh installation media of one operating system or the other and make sure during the installation that the option for "Erase Disk" is selected.

Stick is faster. The one I use is 4GB

I'm happy for you that you were able to sort it out Pensioner77. Well done and it must be quite a relief. I wish I could tell you what you might try to ensure it doesn't happen again. Probably some accumulation on the rollers and paper path but may not be easy to get to for cleaning with alcohol swa...

I followed the suggestion of printing a test page but with the same result. I am thinking that the problem is mechanical That is a failiar of the printer to pick up paper from the tray. Thank you everyone for your support.l Not working with either operating system could, of course, be an indication...

Running Mate with no burps, gurgles, bumps, glitches, bells, whistles, flags or hissy fits. Ok, but what about the OS? :mrgreen: The ONLY thing I ran into was speaker "pops" on my desktop (when shutdown, startup or initiating any soundfile local or on the web). Lapbook audio is fine ... prolly diff...

Running Mate with no burps, gurgles, bumps, glitches, bells, whistles, flags or hissy fits. That's even with the computer turned on.
EDIT: Did a clean fresh install

Perhaps to help eliminate the nVidia driver as the culprit, go to the Driver Manager (found under Administration in the Menu). From the Driver Manager, select the nouveau (open source) display driver rather than the nVidia driver. Restart the computer.

iIt affects both OS and it is enabled Since it doesn't work with either operating system, I think the first thing to do is try and verify the printer is working properly. That verification can be done via the printer control panel. Once the printer is powered on ... press and hold the control panel...
