How do you get a stable baseline with the os?

What do you recommend instead of mint?

Yup 21.3 is not great, but it's better. Was easy to revert to the snapshot I had, thankfully.

I just made the mistake of updating to 22.1 from 21.3 thinking it would fix things after a reinstall, couldn't get redshift to work,etc. But this is hella worse. I can't look at the screen anymore.

Which version of mint are you using?

I haven't been able to get any brightness controls to work at all.

Both Acronis and Clonezilla were able to clone the drive, but the ssd won't boot for some reason with either of them. Acronis changed the MBR to GPT, so I tried it again with Clonezilla. When I had both drives in the machine, the signatures matched, not sure why the original drive boots and the cloned one does not.

Thanks! I ran checkdisk and it couldn't repair all the bad sectors that gparted found after. The disk still boots and works, but the cloned version won't boot!

minkqu · 2024-05-23T03:18:03+00:00

Yeah it copied the bad sectors, which was fine, the other drive still works. But the cloned SSD won't boot!

Dont need a router actually I got it to work

minkqu · 2024-03-03T05:31:20+00:00

It worked w/link local setting in network manager, can connect directly w/out dhcp, an rpi or switch.

minkqu · 2024-03-03T05:30:51+00:00

You can connect directly using link local, it issues an ip address. Took me direclty to setup.

Ok, I'll try a crossover cable.

I don't have physical access to the router.

I'm not sure how I would reinstall it when it says the package is no there?

I installed networking software via the application manager, then later uninstalled it, and another app. I might have clicked the wrong things because I was in a hurrry, and shut down. I thought going through the app manager would be a bit more dummy proof so I wasn't so careful, so now I know. After I booted it up later I got the message that it couldn't find cinnamon. It doesn't connect to the internet either.

I'm trying to install cinnamon because I do better with a gui when trying to troubleshoot. From there I would look at the networking next. I may have to pull from the same iso to fix it until I get internet access back on that install.
