VERY slow boot after adding desklts

Post by rockh1 »

Intel NUC, I-5, 16 gb ram 1 Tb hard drive. I have been using Cinnamon for several years with no problems, and I must say I'm pleased with it.

Today I tried adding a desklet and the my system froze immediately. I have a mouse cursor, but can't do anything. I'm not sure I have the image function turned on :oops:

Can I boot to terminal and correct the problem?

you might have to reinstall mint?

i've never personally added any desklets, and don't take this as advice, but it might fix it?

Which one did you install? I'll make sure to stay away from that :)
