Linux Mint Forums

I just found this for you to try: 1) Right-Click on the MENU Logo in the far left of the Bottom Task Bar and choose "Configure". 2) A new window should appear.

Thanks!!!
I wanted the CRUX window borders and your advise worked!
Using LM-19.3

Maybe you want to try changing the Kernel in your LM-18.3?

It was confusing at first, but it is Simple! How to Update-Change Kernels; Open Update Manager > View > Linux kernels.

Can you partition your hard drive for a new partition, where you can install LM-19.3? If you get LM-19.3 working, then you can copy your files/photos/etc over to the LM-19.3. This will make the transition go lot easier. I had some issues with LM-19.3 on my Dell Insriron 1525-64bit, but I changed the...

I have installed LM-19.3 and then updated my Kernel to 5.3.0 and all of my problems are fixed.

I Upgraded/Installed the 5.3.0 Kernel and the "DRM" Errors are gone.
Also my Boot Up times are less than a Minute!
Thanks for your help!

A No Q And how was it, when you had booted the live system before installation? A Same as before. Q Have you tried it in the menu with the network settings? A ye...

I followed your Terminal Commands, but no change. I tried to "Update", no go. "Ubuntu repositories not found." When I boot up the Mate, after the Green LM Logo appears and the five little dots under the Logo end the color change "Process Progression"? After that, the Screen goes Black, until I press...
