Hi,
I installed Linux Mint 18 a few months ago and all was well until the recent update. After the update, I cannot save any of my settings. They get reverted back automatically. I tried setting the terminal profile and it wont save. I tried changing the power management settings and it reverts. I checked if I have permissions and it seems I am the administrator of the system. I am not sure what the problem is. Also I cannot mount or unmount removable drives. Was hoping to avoid reinstalling Mint all over.
Have issue saving settings on Mint 18

Umm . . what update are you referring to ? What was updated ?I installed Linux Mint 18 a few months ago and all was well until the recent update.
PS: The History in the menu of Update Manager may help.
Re: Have issue saving settings on Mint 18
In a terminal logged in as your regular user, if this command returns anything it's probably a problem:
Code: Select all
find $HOME ! -user $USER
Code: Select all
sudo chmod -R $USER:$USER $HOME
??I checked if I have permissions and it seems I am the administrator of the system.
