Ideally clean install, or
and then switch the desktop environment at the login screen (icon to the right of your user name).
Code: Select all
apt install mint-meta-cinnamon

True, clean install is best

Re: Linux mint 19 mate
that the way that I've done this - - on both LM18x & on LM19x series as well.Ideally clean install, or just useand then switch the desktop environment at the login screen (icon to the right of your user name).Code: Select all
apt install mint-meta-cinnamon
-then you just log out & log-in on the other system.
the Mate & Cinnamon DEs do seem to work together, quite well.
whereas the Mate & XFCE do not work as well.
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] - when your problem is solved!

Re: Linux mint 19 mate
I was just curious if it could be done, I am staying with what I have. I am still having very very slow boot issues with 19 Mate. The other issue that I was having seems to have miraculously resolved itself, updates. I had not gotten a single update for over 2 months...suddenly I am receiving updates on a regular basis, go figure. the slow boot is aggravating, 6 minutes give or take, once booted the system runs seamlessly. I have been through many steps to try to resolve the boot problem, alas, thus far to no avail.
Re: Linux mint 19 mate
Yup, I have similar boot problems (maybe not as extreme) and I think came when kernel update.pgc3411 wrote: ⤴Wed Oct 31, 2018 12:15 pm I was just curious if it could be done, I am staying with what I have.

Code: Select all
systemd-analyze
Fundamentally though, a modern OS that takes 6 minutes to boot is a bit of a failure in my book, regardless of whether we can tweak it ourselves to get it working properly.
more options for systemd-analyze... https://www.tecmint.com/systemd-analyze ... rformance/

6 minutes is very radical.pgc3411 wrote: ⤴Wed Oct 31, 2018 12:15 pm I was just curious if it could be done, I am staying with what I have. I am still having very very slow boot issues with 19 Mate.

out of curiosity, what is the contents of your /etc/fstab file?
sometimes I get extreme boot issues when the system is looking for a partition to mount.
It happens when I test a Mint or Ubuntu product: the swap partition gets messed up (reformatted) by the Ubuntu/Mint installer.
formatting a swap partition changes the UUID,
if in error it can to be edited in the fstab
this fstab file was created by the LMDE 3 installer... it mounted all swap partitions on the system.
I had to comment out two swap partitions that are to be used by other systems and may not exist later.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
