On the Brother download page you should use the installer app instead of the individual deb files. I would make sure no printer is configured on system and start with the installer app. I run a MFC-9125CN via its built in network card but you can do USB. I frown on Wireless as there are too many pro...

So, I use youtube-dl and then strip out the music It's also possible to do it in one go using...

Hello Gary, I think the jump from 18 to 19 broke mesa. I also think that trying to re install mesa will probably remove a lot of other software and lead you down a rabbit hole. It would be quicker and best to backup your home directory and wipe / install the latest Mint. Then restore your personal f...

I did a bit more research (always happy to add to my knowledge base) and I think you have a problem with 'mesa' which provides opengl. Im running a AMD x480 card in my box but I did a check for the libraries needed to run it and would like to compare incase your missing something. Obviously the upgr...

OpenGL: renderer: N/A v: N/A direct render: N/A

Yep. Thats the problem in a nutshell. Now we have validated the issue we have to come up with a fix.

Why is there no Renderer? Hummm.... Time to start searching around.

Can you post the output of :
Its monday here and I have to do a bit of work. Ill reply later today.

Thank you for posting the information on your video card. Lets now look at the log for xorg and see what we can find in the line of errors: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log This will be a lot of output but do your best to capture and paste it here. After pasting it into the message highlight it all and click...

Please type this in a terminal:
Copy the part where it talks about your video / Graphics and paste it will you?

Ive always used mate after gnome went screwy. I would "humph" at such things as cinnamon.

So, I tried it....

My Stamp of Approval

When you do get this compiled, What exactly are you going to do with it?

This can be used for practical jokes(?) such as interfering with a co-worker’s radio or for malign purposes such as cheating GPS receivers used to track valuable merchandise or get ships lured off-course.

If you go into system settings and then to drivers and see what drivers you have to pick from. Im thinking you might have two choices available. Post what you find. I am almost sure this is a video driver issue of some sort with GLX. Lets see if GLX is working? In a term window type in 'glxgears' an...

I fired up my VM of Mint 19.1 and it indeed shows a swap file instead of the whole partition. Perhaps this has something to do with the availibility of an extra partition to put a swap partition. If not you get a swap file? However, My VM runs good with a swap file. I guess we can rule that out. Ca...

This appears to be a video issue of some sort. Are you running the correct driver for your intel graphics? Did you get an update and forget to just reboot (i.e. new kernel or driver)? I see the GLX error in the startup log. Its not a cam fault as VLC does not have an issue as you state. Its a render...

I do believe code tags are what you see in the editor when making a post here.

Bold
Italic
Underscore
Quote
ect...

They make things easy to arrange and enhance in a post.

I noticed that your using a swap file instead of a partition. Might this be the issue? Here is your swap info compared to mine: Yours: NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /swapfile file 14,7G 776,8M -2 Mine: NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /dev/sda3 partition 9.8G 7.7G -2 Is there a difference between these two opti...

IMHO, I would look for some more ram and take the swap back down to about 8 gigs. Get your system up to 8 gigs. I will reduce the swap file to 8 gigs, that's not a problem. But adding more RAM would be a problem for this machine, it would be just too complicated. I still don't understand why Window...

Glad I could help.
Cool to see this marked solved!
