Please post an inxi -Fxxxzr report. This will give us a concise overview of your hardware and on how Mint sees it.

Here is how to generate the report and post it:

Boot from your installation media (USB/DVD)
Open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-t). Make it fullscreen to avoid unneeded linebreaks or chopped lines. Execute the command

exactly as it has been typed here.

Mark the complete text output which the command will display with your mouse.
Press the keyboard shortcut <Shift><Ctrl>C to copy the marked text into the clipboard.
Enclose the results between the code markers by selecting </> from the mini toolbar above the textbox where you type your reply then paste <Ctrl>V them in your reply between the code markers [code]Results [/code].

I have the same issue with speedtest-cli the last days... It seems that i am not the only one!!!

[Glamtrains]

I decided to just us Gnome System Monitor and online Ookla Speedtest instead. I otherwise would need to download Mint iso to do what someone had suggested. After 12 strokes, I don't fiddle with things.

change 1173 to
map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(',')[:-1])

In case anyone is still interested how to fix speedtest-cli error try the following commands:

1) sudo apt install speedtest-cli

2) sudo gzip -k9 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speedtest.py

3) sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel ... eedtest.py \
-O /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speedtest.py

Et voilà !
