Trying it on a different machine was the first thing that I did. Any spread sheet is the problem including the blank that auto loads. The problem was only apparent on my main machine (quite dated by now). The strange thing was a reload not fixing it until I pulled the power plug re-connect and re-bo...

I forgot to add it did it by simply starting the spread sheet and it would wizz off panning the display miles away from cell A!.

The libre office version is 7.3/7.2. Lilnlux 5.5 Oukbkuntukll 0.22.04.4 LinuMint 21.3 This was the oddest strangest problem I've ever seen. In spread sheet the little green man in the keyboard kept hitting a right tab or some thing panning my display way way from my data. Hitting Home got me back an...

It was okay but now it's as though a continual CR or enter is hitting the thing. My keyboard is not the problem as you can see I'm typing as normal. I've applied all the latest updates and rebooted mint 21.3. Simply loading the spreadsheet and it's like KB jammed. Regards Ian

I do not have the screen saver enabled. After a bit it times out to a blank screen and a click on the keyboard gets it going again. It's mostly okay but not and then I get the reported situation. Info as requested. System: Kernel: 5.4.0-155-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.4.0 Desktop: Cin...

This is most odd. After running Mint 20.2 well and clean for a few day I get this strange problem. I can move the cursor okay but clicking the mouse has no immediate effect. If I wait long enough it may fix itself. Other times it takes ages for the click to action. I often fix it by hitting the HW r...

I am using Mint 20.3 and I was getting a bit irritated with the poor response with boot time, loading Firefox, Thunderbird and Libre Office. My system is an MSI mother board with 8 Gig of RAM the mother board is now obsolete and is considered made for hackers. That describes me for sure. cpu-info Pa...

Hi, I have a similar problem, look at
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=371880
The problem seems to be a failure to detect the keyboard and mouse have been idle. This occurs a few days after a reboot re-start. Not a lot of help to either of us. Regards Ian.

Maybe you are making it too complicated or I fail to fully understand. I went into the Synaptic Package Manager and did a search on LXDE and it's there. At one time I had both Cinnamon and XFCE available at my choice. Have you looked into what the Mint boys and Girls have available for immediate use...

I agree, Acer and IBM should be avoided. I had and Acer it was okay but eventually failed, rather dated too. The box the desktop box I really liked so I added a reset button, got a low cost low power Gigabyte AMD motherboard and a new power supply. I'm still using it. I think the original Acer mothe...

Under System Setting there are two icons. 1 Screen Saver 2 Power Management The above provide five security/power saving options. 1a Delay before starting Screen Saver (I assume when mouse and keyboard idle) 1b Lock the computer when put to sleep (see 2b) 1c Lock the computer when screen saver start...

I always shoot for a motherboard cpu that does not get too hot. No water cooling and super duper blowers etc. I only play and work no top end racers. Ian

Looking a wee bit more into this. Start/Lock-Screen locks my screen and dims it a bit some time later the screen goes BLACK. In the first condition hitting any key gets me to the logon screen and in the second I've got to go to my Linux Box and tap the main Power ON button then hit any key to get th...

Warpinator is not fully ready to go. You must enable the ports on firewall for each Linux box. Its in the instructions. There is also a version of warpinator for your Android cell and it's great. Regards Ian

Have you tried warpinator? It is a Mint innovation and I have used it on my LAN.
Desktop to desktop over cable via router..
Desktop to laptop over cable to router wifi to laptop
Desktop to Android cell cable to router wifi to cell phone.
I was impressed.
Regards Ian

Just upgraded to mint 20.3 Cinnamon all okay. Very minor "Not too right" I think I should have a tick in an extra small box acknowledging I accept the risks. I could not get a tick to register but somehow or other using a mind of its own it took off and did the upgrade to Mint 20.3 without...

I have a similar annoyance . The screensaver fails to activate after 3 or 4 days. That's to say the first few days after a new boot first thing in the morning my screen is black after a few days my computer room's AM visit is filled with the glow from the screen. It was pointed out that maybe my bro...

Hi, after a clean boot and I click lock screen, next morning I usually had to press my box power on button to get the any action, then enter the password. Works great. But but after a day or two it no longer powers off the monitor etc and the screen lights my computer basement all night. I'm running...

Hi, I have moved some large directories from one mint20 to another box running mint 20 using Warpinator. Just a couple of observations. It only made a new empty directory in the destination. I then stepped down a level and moved the contents of the original directory into the destination newly creat...

I measured the batteries and they were indeed low. Changing them has fixed it for now but I have noted this problem a number of times, jerky and non responsive then after a while okay. I have done cnt alt F2 logged into the terminal and "sudo shutdown -r now" a few times as I was suspectin...
