Ultimately you will know that when swapping the drives locations

If possible, Swap the internal hard drive to the external box and put the ssd in the computer. See if you still have difficulty booting. The objective is to see if your external box is indeed the issue.

You can't trust a cloud provider to continue to provide a service. I dropped Dropbox long before it decided to begin a Linux withdrawal. Don't trust cloud services! I echo the same thing to a lot of people. I do not trust "The Cloud" anything. This is your data and it should be kept local at all co...

What I would do: First rule out the SSD having some issue: Remove the SSD and just put in some spinner drive in it. Install 18.3 and test again. See if your problem is gone. If you have two sticks of ram in it - 2GB each then try checking your memory by taking one out and then test, Then swap the st...

I tend to drink a lot of coffee. So, I basically adopted that.
The 412 is my month and day of birth

I would never divulge my real name on the internet.

I think M$ needs to prove its love with a sacrifice.

Get rid of UEFI.

Prove your love M$. We all know your creepy.

I just noticed this problem today and freaked out. I kinda use the calendar for my work. I jumped thru hoops like others here and finally got it working again. However, Then my 'Theme and Fonts' plugin would not load >:( !@X@! Finally after mucking around a bit and reloading the 'Theme and Fonts' I ...

I have a Galaxy S6 but I do not like it very much. Im also kinda looking around for another phone. I want the memory card slot and serviceability when I crack the screen or whatever. The S6 is a royal pain as its glass front and back. Its not very serviceable although I have never had it apart yet. ...

When linux was just starting out there were all these commercials about it and you could watch them all on places like Utube. Now you never really see any new ones anymore. I miss them. Some where really quite entertaining.

We need more linux advertising videos.

To top it all off, I was recently affected by MS's little snafu that deleted personal files. That was the final straw...

Good you didnt stick around for that windows thing. Now, After pulling back that update and reissuing it, It kills your sound

Glad your here

I have a Samsung S6 and using Mint 18.3 and it connects fine. Not exactly what you want to hear but at least you know it does work :) Have you turned on usb debugging on the phone? I do believe that has to be on for it to work. When I plug mine in to the usb port it asks me to allow access. I choose...

The wire icon is between the network icon and sound icon


Linux Mint Mate desktop 18.3

I use Wire-Desktop for communication to friends. I think this was after a recent wire upgrade that I have noticed the panel icon is really small! Its hard to see any notifications on it. Anyone else using Wire-Desktop have this issue? The wire-desktop icon is part of the notification applet so I can...

I get a terminal when I hit <control> <alt> <T> and Im running Mint Mate 18.3

I never use it though. I just click on menu/terminal or on my desktop.

I will add, as a hobbyist and nothing more, that if you company just upgraded from XP long after it went out of support then that does not seem prudent either - cheap maybe . . . I really can't say but that is what occurs to me - again I admit I am way out of my depth. I think your right on target ...

A simple post asking about upgrading versions or just searching the forum would have revealed that its not the recommended way to go. I run my own business with many residential customers that I have setup with Linux Mint. They are all running 18.3 . Since they are quite happy there is no reason to ...

Well, It certainly does not show up on the USB bus. Incidently, The output of 'dmeg' is your boot up information. Thats where it is going thru and discovering all your devices and setting up memory and other fun stuff. Not too helpful in a case like this unless you run this command: dmesg |grep usb ...

Hi,

Lets see what cam it actually is. Type the below command and paste the output into your next post:
