Has anyone been able to get Xiphos running properly on LMDE 4 or Debian 10 Buster? The drop down menus don't work the way they should, making the application useless. For me it has only worked well on Ubuntu based distros. Thanks.

I would like to know how to move the network, update manager and sound icons from the bottom panel to the top panel. It used to be easy in LM 17/18/19 but I don't see a way to do this in LM 20.04. I tried moving the indicator applet witht the 3 dots : but it just moved the 3 dots and not the icons. ...

The new METAR server at Aviation Weather has been activated as of 6/23/2020 P.M.

Update: 6/24 4:00pm EDT - METAR is back offline again.

UPDATE: 6/28 - Aviation Weather seems to be stable with their new RHEL release. Will continue to monitor.

I looked up the GitHub open issues on this. It apprently affects many distros other than Mint. Does anyone have an idea when this problem is going to be solved and a fix made available?

Still not working here in Florida, USA

It's 6/1/20 and the weather icon is offline again as of this morning.

Running LM 18 MATE. As of this morning 5/28/20 the weather icon in the panel has stopped working. Is anyone else having this problem with LM 18 or 19? Thanks. UPDATE: The icon started working again on its own on 6/23. It was obviously a problem with the weather Metar provider moving to a new RHEL se...

I decided after fooling with this over the past week to just chuck it and install Mint 19 MATE. I spent far more time trying to figure this out than it took me to install LM 19, programs and all my data files. Bootup time is now 50 seconds. I'll just have to wait and see if LMDE 4 (Buster) offers im...

rng-tools5 made no difference in the boot time. Still 80+ seconds. The latest kernel in the repository is 4.9.0-11. I may just have to abandon LMDE3 and return to the main edition with LM 19. Thanks.

This is the full dmesg log. Thanks.

Nuts2u - Your solution made no difference. Still 80+ seconds for bootup. gm10 - Here's dmesg file from a cold boot. If I'm reading this right it looks like some type of delays at 18.024975 and 59.253047: [ 1.552739] pps_core: Software ver. 5.3.6 - Copyright 2005-2007 Rodolfo Giometti <giometti@linu...

Boot time is still 80+ seconds. Here is LSBLK: rick@rick-production:~$ lsblk -f NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT sda ├─sda2 ├─sda5 swap a6d2d0a5-2531-41f2-8515-97d7d10d6fa8 [SWAP] └─sda6 ext4 f0fa4aae-f0e6-4d29-bb97-04be98188605 / sr0

I login normally. Here is what /etc/fstab looks like:

Can anyone else here on the forum help me with this? Boot time is 80+ seconds after the Bios screen comes up, which is about double what it should be. Thanks.

I have a mechanical hard drive, 150 GB on a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with 8 GB memory.

My bootup is averaging 80-90 seconds after the BIOS screen comes up. Please see the following systemd logs and tell me if anything looks like a possible problem and how to solve it. Thank you. systemd-analyze Startup finished in 37.687s (kernel) + 26.893s (userspace) = 1min 4.581s systemd-analyze-bl...

LM 19.3 Beta MATE - I would like to move the Update Manager and Network icons to the top panel but don't see a way to do this like I was able to do in past LM releases. Any input about this?

Yes pbear, I am fully aware of Gparted being included in live distros. Thanks!

I tried pbear's suggestion. I booted with a Gparted Live disc, deleted the partition, created a new partition and then formatted it to ext4. I was then able to install a new distro, in this case Zorin OS 15 Lite. If I have a similar problem in the future I will try this same approach. Thanks for eve...

I won't be able to get back to this thread until Sunday 11/24 when I will try one more thing. If that doesn't work I will post the results of Larry78723's report suggestion.
