Please don't use jargon as found in NASA's journal to launch a shuttle. Condescend to the level equivalent to "Newbie" and let your intelligence role.

Linux Mint 19 is awesome with hiccups. How do you scale 1920x1080 screen properly? Going to GENERAL and selecting Double Hi-DPI doesn't cut it. Unless the problem is resolved, Linux Mint 19 will never be a likely candidate as a default operating system. I'm using an HP Envy 15.6 laptop. See the foll...

I am currently at work. When I get home, I will resume this post.

Thank you and have a great day.

Interesting!

When I sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt, I get the following warning in the terminal...

mount: /mnt: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.

I simply inserted a purchased DVD (movie) and it would not mount. I'm using Linux Mint 19, the Cinnamon version.

I wrote another post about my DVD's not automounting on my system. They will mount if I reboot my system but only then. I opened up the Disk program provided the Linux Mint distribution, and I discovered that my DVD is blocked. I've attached an image. Can someone tell me how to unblock my external D...

Yes! Upon reboot, mounted volumes appear on desktop and file manager. After that initial mount, automatic mount doesn't happen without another reboot.

After reading your reply, I tried this. It didn't work.

I'm using Linux Mint 19 and I love it. When using the operating system, I've bumped into a small hiccup. I have an external CD/DVD drive and it's recognized by the OS. However, when I insert a purchased (movie) DVD, the system will not mount it; I have to reboot my computer in order for this to occu...

I installed Linux Mint 18 on the above HP laptop model. My first impression . . . Linux Mint 18 is a beautiful desktop OS; installation was quick as I was at the login screen before I knew it. However, it was with a few clicks that I realized I had no wifi connection — a serious regression. In the c...

I have went into power/management and selected NEVER for "ON AC POWER." However, while my laptop is plugged in, it will dim about five minutes without use. This dimming is good if one is using their battery, but while on AC is not necessary. The NEVER, as I have selected it, doesn't seem t...

Using Linux-Mint 16 and love it.

Although I've set all settings to 'never' and 'don't', I still have a screen that wants to dim while on AC; this is annoying and it shouldn't be. I'm using an HP-2000 notebook and I don't want to dim. How do I kill this behavior while on AC?

Is package software-sources installed? Try to run it in a Terminal. Usually you can fix the lists in a Terminal as well in /etc/apt/sources.list or the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ When I run 'software-sources' in the terminal nothing happens. It hangs for a couple of seconds and return the c...

Using Linux Mint 15, when I click on Software Sources nothing happens. Something has happen with my Software Sources list. How do I correct this problem? What happen with the program that opens and views my sources?
