Hello, minty19user. By installing Mint 19 over Mint 18.3, you have deleted any user account information of the Mint 18.3 users. The reason is simple: The user credentials and some more details are stored in the files /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. The installer created these ...

Hello, greenman63. Answer to your 3rd question: 3rd +last question... in the "update manager" there are dozens of things already checked. i am unclear as to, if these are already installed, and if i un-check them, it will uninstall them ? or, should i keep them all checked and install all of them ? ...

Hello, SuffolkPunch. Tried to reproduce the reported problem on my Linux Mint 18.1 64-bit Cinnamon system, which is as close to your Linux Mint 18.3 64-bit Cinnamon as it will ever be: karl@voyager ~ $ inxi -Sxxx System: Host: voyager Kernel: 4.4.0-139-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 5.4.0 ...

Hello, lehnerus2000. I really question that the suffixed string "client=firefox-b" is an issue at all. It is not caused by the Google search plugin. It is something done by Firefox itself, as far as I can find out. Firefox 63.0.3 on Mint e.g.: Depending on which search engine is used, Firefox will a...

Hello, SuffolkPunch. Tried what would happen here when doing the same thing, i.e. safely remove a mounted USB harddisk. Environment: Linux Mint 18.1 32-bit xfce, kernel 4.4.0-139(165) - yes, I am aware: not precisely the same Mint as yours. On my system safely removing the mounted USB harddisk did n...

Hello, majpooper. Tried to reproduce the described behaviour. Environment: Mint 18.1 xfce, Firefox 63.0.1 Tab 1: Linux Mint forum - Bord index, set size to 90% Each tab, which I open from inside tab 1 by right-clicking and selecting "open in new tab", will be on 90% as well. If a new tab is opened b...

Hi, p.g. I will install Linux Mint. Please wait. I had not been aware that you had already uninstalled it again. Because as soon as you have eliminated a system, there is no more way of finding out what goes wrong on the eliminated system. Actually, I do not see anything in your inxi report which st...

Hi, p.g. sorry to learn that Linux Mint Mate causes severe problems on your machine. I have started using Linux Mint MATE but it crashes. I don't see the error console and didn't see it. Yet, without any details at all, we may be able to pity you, but not be able to offer any help to you. So you wil...

Hi, ahlexcendre. For that slow and old machine, your boot time is respectable. I would agree in case the times for kernel and userspace were swapped: alexandre@alexandre-Aspire-5736Z:~$ sudo systemd-analyze [sudo] password for alexandre: Startup finished in 40.304s (kernel) + 6.565s (userspace) = 46...

Hi, gm10. Ich glaube fast, ich sollte meinen <Exkurs> und die Antworten genau darauf aus it-places Thread lösen und in einen eigenen Thread verschieben. Vielleicht lesen wir nichts von it-place über Fortschritte, das berichtete Problem zu lösen, oder auch über noch ungelöste Probleme dabei, weil ich...

<Exkurs Forts.> Hi, gm10. Da muß man jetzt unterscheiden: Bis zu meinem liebsten Linux Mint 18.1 steht in der Control Datei des linux-kernel-generic noch drin: Breaks: linux-generic, linux-headers-generic, linux-image-generic D.h. entweder linux-generic oder linux-kernel-generic, aber niemals nie n...

<Exkurs Forts.> Hi, gm10. Ich hatte angenommen, dass mein Schaubild verdeutlicht hätte, was an dem Meta-Paket linux-generic dranhängt. :? Das Synaptic Logfile zeigt dem entsprechend auf, dass die Meta Pakete in Bezug auf die Kernelversionsnummer aktualisiert worden sind für K4.15.0-39(42). Die neue...

Hallo, it-place. So wie ich das aus deinem ersten Post entnehme, genauer aus den dpkg Beschwerden, wären die Lösungsschritte das fehlende Paket linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-39-generic zu installieren. Z.B. mittels Kommandozeile: apt update apt install linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-39-generic dann das bel...

<Exkurs> Hallo, ehtron. Du weißt aber schon, dass das Problem, dass das Paket linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-39-generic fehlt, ein Problem ist, dass Linux Mint dadurch versacht, dass es Ubuntu Meta-Paket linux-generic durch sein eigenes linux-kernel-generic ersetzt. An dem Original-Ubuntu Paket linux-g...

E.g. here: Ryan's Linux Tutorial - Learn the bash commandline

Hello, corktowner. Have you made any kind of progress solving the reported issue? In case you have not done so, it would be helpful to learn which dependencies precisely cannot be satisfied. Please, open a terminal window. Execute the commandline below exactly as it has been typed here . It will sim...

Clear answer to this question, asked in the thread title: No.
Anybody out there still remembers that trivial things like technical issues still happen?!

Hello, corktowner. Here Update Manager had offered the new kernel package 4.15.0-39 as well. https://abload.de/img/linux-4.15.0-39.42i3dhc.png Note: All 3 groups of kernel updates are required. In your screenshot I only spot the third entry from my list, linux-kernel-4.150-39.42. Maybe you could ref...

No. This was not the root cause. - This, however, was the root cause:

Confirmed. Any problems with www or www dot forums is a DNS issue. Our registrar is moving us. Should resolve itself.

Why is everybody telling that installing Wine on a 64-bit Mint 19 Cinnamon or no Cinnamon were so damned complicated? Why then the simple way, explained here, Installing Wine in Mint 19 , works for me on 64-bit? Only today, I set up a new Mate system and installed Wine 3.0 from the official Ubuntu s...
