Your fix worked great for me in Mint 21. Thanks again
Mel

Pysol FC a game that I like and use on all of my Linux distros does not work on Mint 21 because the repos are using a older version. The latest version would work on mint 21. When can we expect a newer version that will work with mint 21? Mint 21 requires the newer version because of python 3 I was ...

Thank You MrEen That fixed the problem.

OK guess I need to be more specific. Mint Cinnamon 20.1 Beta clean install. I open file manager and go to a external storage drive. I copy a bunch of stored video's and paste them in the Video folder of Mint 20.1 Beta. All of the Videos have the same plain Black Icon looks like a film strip. They do...

Mint Cinnamon 20.1 beta. When transfering video files from storage to my video folder in mint 20.1 beta, I notice that the video icons are all the same. The video still works, but the icons are wrong. Never had this happen in mint 20. Possible bug? I realize that this is only a beta, but it should b...

OK People I solved the problem and by the way I've run Cinnamon since it first was available in Mint. Now the problem was XFCE DE installs as default XFWM4 + Composting so I change it to Metacity + Composting. I changed it in the Desktop settings. I guess my hardware doesn't like the FWM4. Thanks an...

Fresh install of Linux Mint 20 XFCE de. The resolution is set at 1920 x 1080 which is to small for my old eyes. When I go to settings and try to change it, The screen tears no matter what resolution I try. Here is my inxi mhbell@mint-xfce:~$ inxi -Fxz System: Kernel: 5.4.0-56-generic x86_64 bits: 64...

Changing the kernel to 4.18 that was suggested solved the problem. Thanks for the info.

I can download photo's from the camera in Siduction LXQT and Cinnamon versions also in Debian all newer versions and in several other Distros and windows 10. so It is not my camera it is something ...

Here is what I get with uname -r
uname -r
4.15.0-43-generic this is the clean install and the updates for 19.0 v2 Here is what I get with 19.1 uname -r
4.15.0-43-generic so they are the same I stand corrected. Must be something in the newer 19.1

Computer will be fine for days then freeze up for no reason while surfing the net. ca...

I have tried to burn MP3's from my hard drive collection to a DVD in mint19. It won't do it using K3B I get the following error MP3 Audio Decoder plugin not found. K3b could not load or find the MP3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from MP3 files. Many Linux d...

The problem is now solved it was Sophos Anti Virus that was stopping the updated kernel.

I don't know how to remove the bad kernel. Mel...

Just disconnect from the Internet. Install Mint19 then reconnect to the Internet, then Get the Updates. For the Codec's Install using the software manager.
When you get the updates you will get the Grub Signed one also. No big deal. It works Just a few extra steps.

after unhooking my modem from the Internet I was able to install Mint 19 Cinnamon. Tonight when getting more updates I see there was one with a signed grub. I have to assume the problem is fixed. Hope that the ISO has been fixed or at least the signed part that is in the ISO has been fixed at Ubuntu...

I just reinstalled Linux Mint 19 after unhooking my modem from the internet. I did like harryhoutx said and it worked. I then rehooked the modem to the internet and downloaded all updates. I then downloaded the restricted Apps and also the mint codecs from software manager. Got updates again and all...

Harry I think you are probably right since I installed LM19 on a couple of other SSD's a couple of days ago without a problem on the same computer. I guess the Give away was the Signed package in the error message. Glad you caught it. Guess I will not download during the install and use apt-get upda...
