Cómo actualizar a Linux Mint 19.3


18 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2019 (HTTPS://BLOG.LINUXMINT.COM/?P=3838)POR CLEM (HTTPS://BLOG.LINUXMINT.COM/?AUTHOR=1) · 267 COMENTARIOS
(HTTPS://BLOG.LINUXMINT.COM/?P=3838#COMMENTS)

Ahora es posible actualizar Linux Mint 19, 19.1 o 19.2 a la versión 19.3.

Si ha estado esperando esto, le agradecemos su paciencia.

1. Crear una instantánea del sistema

Puede usar Timeshift para hacer una instantánea del sistema antes de la actualización.

Si algo sale mal, puede restaurar fácilmente su sistema operativo a su estado anterior.

Inicie Timeshift desde el menú de la aplicación, siga las instrucciones en pantalla para con gurarlo y crear una instantánea del
sistema.

2. Prepárese para la actualización

Desactiva tu salvapantallas
Si instaló especias de canela (applets, desklets, extensiones, temas), actualícelos desde la Con guración del sistema

3. Actualiza el sistema operativo

Actualizar a Linux Mint 19.3 es relativamente fácil.

En el Administrador de actualizaciones, haga clic en el botón Actualizar para buscar cualquier versión nueva de mintupdate y
mint-upgrade-info. Si hay actualizaciones para estos paquetes, aplíquelos.

Inicie la actualización del sistema haciendo clic en "Editar-> Actualizar a Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia".

(https://www.linuxmint.com/tmp/blog/3838/mintupgrade2.png)

Si se le pregunta si desea conservar o reemplazar los archivos de con guración, elija reemplazarlos.

4. Agregar paquetes (opcional)

Se agregaron celuloide, gnote, drawing y neofetch a Linux Mint 19.3. Para instalar estos paquetes, abra una terminal y escriba:

apt install celuloid gnote drawing neofetch

5. Reinicie la computadora

Una vez que nalice la actualización, reinicie su computadora.

Preguntas frecuentes

Si la actualización no está disponible para usted, veri que que tenga instaladas las últimas versiones de mintupdate y mint-
upgrade-info y reinicie Update Manager. Si las últimas versiones aún no están disponibles en sus espejos, cambie a los
repositorios predeterminados.
Esto ocurre raramente, pero si alguna vez se bloqueó y no pudo iniciar sesión nuevamente, cambie a la consola con CTRL +
ALT + F1, inicie sesión y escriba "killall cinnamon-screensaver" (o "killall mate-screensaver" en MATE) . Use CTRL + ALT + F7
o CTRL + ALT + F8 para volver a su sesión.

There is an important glitch, in my case I was running 19.2 with Kernall 5.3, active and no dramas.
After upgrade and re boot all was ok, BUT, they system was telling me to upgrade to Kernel 5.0.0.
That is mad

Do you have an old 5.0 kernel installed? Try uninstalling it, and see if the 5.0 upgrade goes away.

Don’t know how to handle this:


Driver Manager
Package dependencies cannot be resolved

This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable.
Furthermore there could be a con ict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the
same time.

nvidia-304: Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) but 1:7.7+19ubuntu7.1 is to be installed


Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:3.3) but 1:8.3.0-6ubuntu1~18.04.1 is to be installed
Depends: xorg-video-abi-23 but it is a virtual package

Any ideas?

Yet another great release with a painless upgrade! Congratulations and many thanks for all the hard work!
I consider Mint the best choice in the Debian/Ubuntu family for private and business use. With the 3 desktop types, everyone can
choose the desktop to their likings (Cinnamon in my case, to match my Cinnamon@Fedora preference, but that’s a different story),
while still sharing a stable common base.
I’m looking forward to LMDE4. Hope it is feasible to have both exist next to each other.

Can someone detail for me the following: “If you installed Cinnamon spices (applets, desklets, extensions, themes), upgrade them
from the System Settings”, beacuse I am not sure if I installed or use it. Where in the Systems Settings is to look for the upgrade
of this parts?

From the System Settings app, click Applets, then click the the Download tab (and refresh cache if prompted),
sort by installed (there is a drop down menu) then upgrade as needed.

It is the same basic exercise for Desklets, Extensions, and Themes.

Thanks a lot “cbass” for your explanations and your fast answer. The upgrade of my fujitsu esprimo mobile
M9410 was running smooth without any problems. And this machine (that was designed for XP in the past (a
little tuned with an SSD and 4GB RAM) runs like hell with this LM19.3 cinnamon.
You are heroes for me! Please continue with your mission to establish such a great operating system! Your work
enables to keep my system running over years. I wish you all the best and a wonderful merry christmas. Thank
you!

I just went to the start menu and searched one at a time for “applets” and launched it and upgraded what I had,
then “desklets”, then “extensions”, then “themes”. I found that easier than looking for them in System Settings.

Yes. And if 4.15 works with your hardware, you should stay with that, as it’s an LTS kernel. Alternatively, if you’re
having problems, you can upgrade the kernel with Update Manager > View > Linux Kernels.

No issues to report – just that talking about kernels – I was on LM 19.2 Cinnamon, kernel 4.15.(last version) and
after update to 19.3, the Update Manager asked me to upgrade to kernel 5.0.
I am not really sure if it was an intended behaviour..

Hi Linux Mint team,

The Cinnamon panel launcher’s “Scale” animation type is pulsing once, before pulsing twice!
Please add a new double pulse option (as it used to be), it could be a “Scale x2” option!

@ Clem & the developers

The update was awless and I rst thought that everthing was ne, but it isn’t.

Cinnamenu is gone, thééé menu for me. It’s no longer in Applets nor in Cinnamon Spices so that it’s impossible to contact its
developper.

Please, Clem & guys, do something to bring it back. Je vous en conjure.

It turns out the Grub theme isn’t installed by default. You have to run

sudo apt install grub2-theme-mint-2k

to install it. This is courtesy of u/Wimdigo on Reddit

Don’t use the 2k version unless the font is really, really small.

Hi Tanzim,
I tried grub2-theme-mint-2k, too, and thought that the text looked too large. So, I just uninstalled it (using Synaptic
Package Manager) and then installed grub2-theme-mint. Both options result in very low-res, pixelated text,
though.

Because forcing upgrade of the kernel is usually unnecessary and can cause regressions. If 4.15 is working for
you, best to stay with that, as it’s an LTS kernel. If you have a reason to upgrade to 5.0, go to Update Manager >
View > Linux Kernels. You could have done that in 19.2 also.

Celluloid, gnote, drawing and neofetch were added to Linux Mint 19.3. To install these packages, open a terminal
and type:
apt install celluloid gnote drawing neofetch

RE: Gnote

I’ve been using *Xpad Notes*, which has an option I like very much — the option to select *background and text
colors*. (The light gray background is very easy on the eyes.) I don’t see that option in Gnote.

I’ve noticed, too, that selecting Copy, Italic, Bold, Underline, etc., in Xpad Notes is much easier than in Gnote. You
just highlight text, right click, and there’s a pop-up menu.

An old bug might now come back biting. If people want now to switch to celluloid as their default (I just wanted, it seem great!), in
Preferred Applications, the Video change doesn’t get saved. I noticed this already on 19.2. For me, it seemingly changes, but just
going to the other tab and back, and there is VLC again.

I’m sorry, I take it back, further testing showed that the default app DOES change. But after re-opening Preferred
Applications, VLC is still there. Probably because I have .avi still set to VLC in le properties. I couldn’t undo this.
All got xed after uninstalling VLC. Sorry for the panic ^^
Congrats to the great new release! <3

Hello Clem & the team,


At rst, I want to congratulate you guys for the awesome new edition of Linux mint (Tricia). The upgrade process from
19.2(cinnamon 64bit) to 19.3(cinnamon 64bit) was smooth. I have encountered an issue so far.
System reports app is showing a detected problem which I don’t understand what should I do. Here is a screenshot of it
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/hyidnct358t9ju8/Screenshot%20from%202019-12-19%2000-45-30.png?dl=0

help me with a x.
One more thing I don’t know about others but I still don’t like the boot splash screen animation, it looks old.

Upgraded from 19.2. Very quick and easy this time. Only one issue, was that Slack stopped working. Now gives an error:

/usr/lib/slack/slack: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libappindicator3.so.1: unde ned symbol:


xapp_status_icon_new

The version is 4.2. But not a big problem. I switched to using the Snap, from https://snapcraft.io/slack (https://snapcraft.io/slack),
and that works without any problems.

I tried 19.3 Beta and did not like it. Ver. 18 also had a few problems but 17.3 was virtually perfect. “If it ain’t broke, don’t x it.” I
learned that during 20+ years as a Programmer/Analyst and Consultant. Why does the Mint team keep trying to x something that
“just works”? I will stick with 19.0 for the time being. No upgrades.

I’ve noticed a few issues arising from an update that didn’t appear under a fresh install of 19.3 Cinnamon:
1) The Update Manager applet icon disappears. Neither of the icon hiding options are enabled in its preferences and I have the
Xstatus applet installed and added to the panel.
2) If you have VLC installed before the update and you install Celluloid then Celluloid is initially set as the preferred application for
Music and Video but, randomly, VLC becomes reassigned as preferred for Video.
3) You need to manually set the new Linux Mint icon as the mintmenu icon (and delete the default “Menu” text that wasn’t
previously there).

I’ve worked-around (1) and (2) thus:


1) Go into the Update Manager preferences and toggle both options which can hide the tray icon on then off. The
tray icon remains in place after this.
2) I don’t really use VLC (it was installed with the Mint Codecs) so I just uninstalled it and its dependencies.

2) Select Con gure…
3) On the “Panel” page, activate “Use a custom icon and label” toggle
4) Click the “Icon” button and choose e.g. “linux-mint-logo- lled-badge” from the Linux Mint category, close with
Select
5) Delete any content from the “Text” entry box and close the Menu settings dialog

logo makes the menu icon appear more prominent in the panel.

I had the root password already set, still it was reported that no root password was set. I checked it using the
ctrl-alt-F1 terminal, logged in as root and gave the current password. It worked there without problems. So yes,
you can ignore it, but for the better: set it! Login the terminal as yourself, do a sudo passwd and then set your
UNIX password twice. Exit and try to log in as root. It works for me a long time already… BTW, the update went
awless on this Dell laptop. No issues so far:-)

Thanks for the new Mint! Booted 19.3 rst from a USB stick on my Samsung RV720. Screen brightness working now with
Fn+arrow. But still original Broadcom BCM4313 Wi is slow and intermittent using kernel driver bcma-pci-bridge *brcmsmac* and
not the much better behaving wl. Combo Bluetooth BCM2070 OK now. Now to updating 19.2.

Congratulations on the new Release! What a nice Christmas gift!


Love the Nemo context menu customization and the crisper Icons.

A few small inconveniences I noticed:


– The “Simpli ed window settings” unfortunately only allow for shifting the 3 standart buttons of the windows title bar from right
to left instead of the in depth personalisation we were allowed before. Given that GTKApps alrady ood their CSD Headderbars
with symbols I had adapted to only displaying the Close-Button in Window Titlebars without minimize and maximize(like Gnome
does out of the box). It was also possible to move the menu Icon of CSD Apps over to one side for easier access. These
unfortunately are no longer options avaliable now. Would be nice, if you do not intend to restore the full customization, if we could
at least have a prede ned “minimal option” with only the Close-Button in a standard and mac version.

– Celluloid seems to replace the useful Keybinding for displaying video/audio stats (“i” respectively “I” for the toggle)of MPV with
a simple display name of le functionality. Not sure if that can be xed on your end but video/audio codec information would
de nitely be more nice to have available.

– It would probably reduce confusion if the cinnamon menu options had a ‘resize’-link to the panel options in the select custom
icon section in order to resize the freshly selected icon. Took me a minute to gure that one out
Enjoy your Holidays folks!

First of all, to all the people involved in Linux Mint, I salute you, you have done and continue to do a great job – THANK YOU.
Update went smoothly, few minor additional tweaks for my setup.
There is one thing that @Bernd asked and is also happening to me:
Can anyone explain why after adding “XApp Status Applet” tray icons for some applications disappeared? Hover and click on the
area where the icon should be still works, just the icon is not shown. Is there a way to diagnose and solve this problem?
For now I clicked ignore to the error in system reports, but I’d like to do it the right way (if there is one).

Great and fast update. Installed really smoothly and quickly on my Thinkpad.
One question: The new feature s mentioned “System Reports.” What does this icon look like? I am not seeing anything new in my
system tray, and I do not “System Reports” among my applications. Am I missing something?

updater has updates…. and so it began for me.


Then the new System Report started and said 19.3 was available.
And after that and a reboot, some more minor system xes.

Like a spray of WD40 on a rusty bolt, the new logo has yet to penetrate. Start screen is ne, then the old logo on the Menu start
and the default background. And Cairo dock won’t budge off the old logo either. I can see the new icon les in the /usr/…./icons/…
folder(s). I guess by LM20 the WD40 will have had time to soak in a bit deeper.

Otherwise, a smooth upgrade and as always a ne job from the whole team.

sudo apt install grub2-theme-mint depends on display resolution then run sudo update-grub.

Upgraded from 19.1 MATE to 19.3. MintMenu fails repeatedly – when opening the menu and frequently when opening or
minimising applications:

“mintMenu” has quit unexpectedly


If you reload a panel object, it will automatically be added back to the panel

I found lots of references to the problem from several years ago related to a Python upgrade, but nothing current.

I restored the system to 19.1 using timeshift and tried updating to 19.2. This time on reboot I got:

“The panel encountered a problem while loading MateXAppStatusAppletFactory::MateXAppStatusApplet”

plus the menu fails as before. I then restored to 19.1 again using timeshift. On reboot, still got the MateXAppStatusApplet error
(why?) but the menu error has gone.

Hmmm… something strange going on. I just upgraded an old laptop (with a recent clean install of 19.2 MATE)
that I use for testing and building LFS. It downloaded a LOT more stuff than my desktop did, and when rebooted,
it showed a new logo which the desktop didn’t. The update manager then showed an update to kernel 5.0.0-32,
and when I installed that and rebooted it immediately showed an update to 5.0.0-37!

because even after successful update to 19.3 I had versions 1.4.9 of these packages. How can this happen? God
knows how many other packages are still outdated in my installation…
Both slack and bluetooth applet are working after upgrading of these two packages.

there was a problem – the laptop stopped responding to the Fn + F7 keys, at 19.2 it worked because I often used these keys …
I went into Cinnamon – the keys Fn + F5 / F6 / F7 work, actions with brightness occur …
but Mate – main desktop …

I must say I’m very impressed with 19.3. I upgraded yesterday without a problem. The only thing I don’t have is the new redesigned
boot menu. I looked through the previous comments on this post and found out I had to install the following:

apt install grub2-theme-mint grub2-theme-mint-2k

Then I had the new boot menu. Perhaps this should be added to the upgrade instructions? Just a suggestion.

There should be no reasons your updates shouldn’t work if you stay on 19.2. Upgrading to 19.3 is optional just
like 19.2, 19.1, 19.0, etc. I’m still on 19.2 on my laptop and my updates (via the update manager) come in just
ne.

Clem and team,

This was the smoothest upgrade yet. Even managed to bump the kernel to 5.3 without issue.

Thank you all for all the hard work put into this release. Magni cent.

Go into settings or through the Update Manager and in “Software Sources” click on “Restore the default settings”.
After you upgrade you can go back to the mirror you were using. I had to do that to get the upgrade.

Good Morning Linux Mint Team,

Thank you so much for another wonderful upgrade for Linux Mint 19.3. I just upgraded my laptop and everything is working ne
thus far except for Timeshift. It seems to hang when I try to do a backup, it just hangs and the time keeps incrementing. I checked
the logs and did notice that the rsync command has an extra “i” versus the 19.2 version. Pasting logs below. But other than that,
wonderful job and thank you all as always.

Sincerely,

Dwight

Timeshift backups had write and I/O errors, so pls disregard my post and thank you again for a wonderful distro.

Yea folks, great release once again! However, properly you want to add the following (optional) package as well to the list (was not
installed yet before Tricia): xfce4-xapp-status-plugin

Good luck!

purge mono?

This was my rst upgrade since coming over from Windows a month or so ago. I had Mint set up just the way I wanted it and was
apprehensive about upgrading. Fretted over it all day before nally pulling the trigger. The whole thing, including reboot, took less
than two minutes and everything looks great. Gotta love a team that can roll these things out smoothly without borking every
other thing. Glad to be aboard SS Mint.

Upgrade from 19.2 to 19.3 went without problems, however, after the upgrade, Win+1 (2,3,4…) don’t work like they used to. In 19.2,
they worked like in Windows, i.e. opened the corresponding program pinned to the launcher panel. After the upgrade, a small
textbox pops up in the lower right corner.

This is driving me nuts because I can’t nd what caused the change or how to undo it. How do I get the old behaviour back
without reinstalling?

Tried the aggressively promoted Celluloid vs. the proven VLC. No difference at all. While playing the same very videos, the CPU
load is exactly the same.
The only bene t is that Celluloid is directly compatible with Wayland and should be far more e cient in Wayland-based
environment, but Mint seems to be far for the rst distros to implement it in practice.
ps. My system uses Athlon II X4 CPU and nouveau. Situation may be someway different with proprietary video drivers and/or
CPUs with extended command sets.

19.3 has had one issue on both machines that have been upgraded. There is an audio pop on almost all sounds. Have never had
this issue in any of the upgrades from 18.3 on. Searched the Internet and found the x. So far so good. Other than that all is good.

$ sudo apt update


then,
$ sudo apt upgrade
then,
$ sudo apt autoremove

Tried this and it failed miserably.

The upgrade complaining about dpkg being in use then ‘mintupgrade’ updated and it then failed to run (“mintupdate
‘gi.repository.XApp’ object has no attribute ‘StatusIcon'”). Luckily I remembered to backup the system with Timeshift.

Anyone have any clues what might have failed here (I know the information is scanty)?

I upgraded, and have a couple problems…

First, every time I login, Dropbox now tells me that I need to install their proprietary daemon, even though it’s already running and if
I go ahead and download it, it runs a second instance of it in my noti cation tray, so I have to quit one. Dropbox was functioning
perfectly ne before the upgrade.

Second, and also every time I login, I’m getting a triangle with an exclamation point in it on my noti cation tray. When I hover my
mouse over it, it says, “Add the XApp Status applet”. However, that has already been added, and the System Settings Applets list
shows that it is enabled. When I click on this triangle icon, the System Reports tool comes up, but says “No problems were
detected.”

This may not be how all this works, but a thought… Could this be some sort of race condition between the normal
Systray applet and Xapp Status applet? The Systray starts up, and the system doesn’t detect the Xapp Status
applet yet, so it throws the error just before it runs?

I found a solution that worked (for me):

Start to grub menu – type c – then command: vbeinfo

Remember or note down the supported resolutions.

Then boot Mint and look at the comments of /etc/default/grub le:

# The resolution used on graphical terminal


# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo’
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640×480

I simply uncommented the GRUB_GFXMODE line and set it to 1920×1080.

Finally in the terminal the command: sudo update-grub

Reboot -> That’s it!

I hope this will help others with the same issue…

Hi Markus,

When I enter the command vbeinfo in the grub menu, the response is “command not found.” So, I guess your
solution will not work for me.

try the command: videoinfo

Maybe this will work…

Thanks Markus!

The command videoinfo *did work* for me in the grub menu to show supported resolutions. Odd that etc/default
grub only mentions the vbeinfo command, which does not work for everyone.

Very good. The desktop installation process was in nitely faster compared to previous versions. Once installed, I rebooted Linux
Mint 19.3 Xfce, and also noticed faster loading the system.

I want to know if I don’t want to use neither xplayer nor celluloid then can I remove them both without any further problems?
I use SMPlayer so I already have MPV Player installed but don’t need xplayer or celluloid.

“… neofetch were added to Linux Mint 19.3.” You’d better call it oldfetch, there is a retro logo… Maybe, you will give the logo a

I’m on 5.3.0-24 (from Ubuntu repo) right now and there is no request to downgrade on my PC.
I wouldn’t do the downgrade as long as everything works ne.

Do you have an old 5.0 kernel installed? Try uninstalling it, and see if the 5.0 upgrade goes away.

Upgrade done. Just a trick to keep vlc in the installed packaged: with xed create a “vlc.pref” le with content
Package: vlc*
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: 800
Save it in etc/apt/preferences.d
Restart Linux Mint. Vlc is now in the category of manually installed packages, and it will be updated as vlc in Ubuntu will be.
NB: if vlc is still is the “can be deleted” list of packages after reboot, uninstall it an reinstall it.

This might be caused by nemo still looking for xplayer thumbnailer to create previews. You can just delete
/usr/share/thumbnailers/xplayer.thumbnailer so that nemo will pickup
/usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer.

This works great, thanks.

However, I don’t really get the new player. I had a Gigabyte Brix N2807 connected to my TV, running Mint for 2 years. I later
upgraded that machine to the Intel NUC6CAYH, only because the older Intel Graphics in the Brix did not support H.265 and the
slow Celeron could not deal with this using software codecs. The newer Intel Graphics 500 added H.265 support which the
NUC6CAYH has handled perfectly using both VLC and the Mint Player.

Looking at the specs for both machines and by taking the overall performance of the NUC into account (slow as f***), you cannot
tell me that the GPU does not do any work on H.264/H.265 at all? If not for the upgraded Graphics 500, what in the world would
make that machine do what the Brix could not? The to additional cores in the slowest CPU in the history of CPU’s? A faster L3
cache which none of the machines even have?

Could it be that Intel has taken some advantages of SoC’s and added some built-in workload-handover where the CPU itself hands
over some speci c tasks to the GPU? I do not believe that the CPU does all of the decoding. It took that machine 4½ hours to
upgrade Mint 19.2 -> 19.3 which my desktop did in 3 minutes and my laptop in 15 minutes (Laptop is on WiFi). Pretty sure that it
would max out the CPU, if it had to decode an AVI le.

B.t.w.
The new player cannot handle network transfers/delays. At least not on the NUC. I tried playing a video from the desktop via NFS
and it froze 3 times. The other 2 players have had no problems with this. Local les seams to work.

After unmounting an external drive in Nemo, there is no longer a noti cation that the drive can be safely removed. Is this
intentional or a “hidden feature”? This feature was very useful after transferring data to the drive, as it could take some time

It’s nice to see the continuing trajectory of improvements. Upgrade – 19.2 MATE to 19.3 MATE – was fairly smooth on two
machines, but there were some issues I noticed.

Software sources is the biggest stumbling block for non-expert users. Of course this can be glitchy at *any* time, with mirrors
(even Evowise) going awol and needing to be changed. However upgrading seems to make the problem compulsory, because the
newly upgraded OS is set to defaults in the US and UK (not ideal when I’m in Australia). It would be much better if it could continue
using the existing mirrors.

System Reports or whatever it is recommends adding the applet thing for noti cations (sorry about vague terminology, I’m not in
Mint at the moment). This was not necessary on either machine, so of course following the recommendation results in double
noti cations.

If a machine has old kernels still installed from an earlier series than the active kernel, the Update Manager wants to update that
older kernel series as well. Easily dealt with by uninstalling the old kernel(s), but confusing, and unnecessary time & data usage if
updates are applied to the old series.

Hi Mike.

The upgraded kernel has defaulted to power saving for audio, which can save signi cant power on laptops,
causing a popping sound when audio begins, and possibly shortly after audio ends. If this is what you’re
experiencing you can disable it with this command in the terminal:

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf <<<'options snd-hda-intel power_save=0'

It will take effect after a reboot.

Installed the 19.3 Cinnamon update on 2 of my computers.

However in each case the add on applications, Drawing, Gnote, Celluloid and Neofetch were not installed. I see above that we are
supposed to manually install them. Any reason they’re not included and automatically installed. Not sure what it means to say
these are included in 19.3 but then you still have to manually install them.

What you did was replace your (https://www.linuxmint.com/privacy.php)


package sources from the once use by 19.2 to the once used by 19.3 and then did
a package upgrade, which upgrades existing packages on your system, just like when you do an upgrade at any
other point.

Included means that it is included in the 19.3 installation media. So if you format your PC and reinstall Mint using
the 19.3 media, there will be no need to manually install these packages.

Tried the update from 19.2 to 19.3. Got a message, that a con g. le was not as expected, manipulated. Choose to see the
differences. got an endless list of extensions related to lenames. Noticed, that hitting enter scrolled through that list. t the end I
got a double colon but could not choose anything. after waiting some time I had to kill the entire installer. Rebooting failed
because apt was running, doing nothing. So I killed apt and opened a shell to sudo reboot.
I understand, that the install is not complete so I decided to use timeshift for the very rst time to restore the system to 19.2.
When I told (the probably new installed) timeshift the necessary parameters (Partition etc.) it started comparing les. After that
step timeshift told me it started analyze a protocol le. In the middle of this process (450000 from 650000 les) I hit the not
disabled ‘Weiter’-Button by accident (Continue, the middle button). Timeshift stopped working. So I had to start over and watch
timeshift comparing les and reading 650000 lines again. After that I got a window showing les and folders starting at root.
Unfortunately I was curious to see what other options were in the drop down showing “Alle Dateien hinzufügen” (add all les ?)
Again my nervous fore nger triggered the mouse button and selected the option “Erstellen” (create ?). Again I was stuck, because
timeshift didn’t let me switch back to “Alle Dateien hinzufügen” (add all les ?). So again I had to start all over and this time I
reached the point, where I shown a window telling me that timeshift will change data on sda1, my root dir, AND on sdb1, my home
dir. I explicitly told timeshift not to save my home dir. I do this regularly with rsync and a cron job on a separate external disk. I
know how to handle this and thought it would be wise, not to change a proven system. But now I am afraid, that timeshift will
destroy my home and I have to restore everything from my backups. and I know this will take a considerable amount of time.
I am kind of frustrated and am thinking about downloading the 19.3 Iso and install my system from scratch.
any good idea someone?

I made the upgrade and now Xfce won’t open anymore. I log in, and it takes me right back to the lightdm greeter screen. I’m typing
this from cinnamon right now, and I’ve got to say I like XFCE’s panels better.

I set root passwd as recommended and logged into root-account-> handled error message – I`m doing this for years now and
almost everything is ne. But one annoying thing, mintreport does not save a note or realize that root-passwd was set (user- &
root-account). While I am logged in root-account, mintreport tells me I should set root-passwd… Maybe you could integrate a type
of a “done-list” or “recognize-function” in mintreport, that sees which tasks are already done…

to them.

upgrade/fresh install, environment, etc. I can assure you that if other users have issues getting TimeShift to run
after the upgrade, it would be well-reported here, so it’s likely something speci c about your situation. The more
info you can provide, the more likelihood you’ll get a solution. “Please x” sounds rude.

from the 19.2 (Cinnamon):
When I move a program window to another workspace the panel icons for the particular program are not highlighted (active) in
the new workspace so I cannot access them using the mouse/touchpad (only exception I’ve noticed seems to be Text Editor). I’ve

@Clem: Regarding Update Manager and Timeshift, is it possible for you to add a feature that will create Timeshift snapshot every
time user clicks to update Linux Mint? An alternative feature for users who prefer this instead of scheduling weekly/daily/monthly
snapshots. So i can choose between whether i want Timeshift to automatically create snapshots via weekly/daily/monthly
schedule feature or whenever i click to install updates in Update Manager.

Merry Christmas Ladies & Gentlemen,


Thank you for all your efforts and continued success in your future endeavors. I am not certain where to post the problems I have
encountered with Ver. 19.3 Cinnamon release. So, forgive me for posting here.
1. The NVIDIA video card would not go to the proper resolution, remain in 1024×768 res.
2. The wired network would not work if a fresh 19.3 is installed instead of updating from 19.2.
So, as I am not as familiar with the OS, I have resorted to returning to Ver. 19.2.
Hope this helps and even perhaps other users would provide solutions.
Thank you much again and May you all have a very Happy 2020…
Cheers,
Drew

I’ll preface this by saying that I haven’t used this feature in a while, so it may not have worked in 19.2 either, but… After upgrading
to 19.3, I tried to open my Google Drive account through Nemo. It said “Invalid credentials”. So I went into the Online Accounts
settings, and all of my online accounts (my two Google accounts and my Facebook account) said credentials had expired. I tried
multiple times to log back in to each account, and every time it still said that my credentials had expired after successfully logging
in. I deleted all accounts from there, which said it couldn’t remove the accounts from the keyring. Is this a known problem? Is this
a Mint problem? Ubuntu problem? Gnome problem?

I got a new MintBox Mini 2 Pro 2 weeks before Mint 19.3 went stable so I was quite new to how to update it to 19.3 while keeping
the apps I already installed on my system… so I tried to only update the packages but ended up with black icons for the 3 Power
off icons in the Main Mint menu and a feeling that the update was not complete.
I then installed it on a new partition and could see what I should have. Big difference… I tried to install a multi boot menu but
ended up with problems because the MintBox doesn’t turn off completely even with the Power Off switch and the changes I was
doing were not always working…
So… I ended up installing it as a new installation, re-installed the apps I wanted and wow… it was worth it.
I like Mint 19.3, except for a few changes I don’t agree but I can live with that. It’s working great with themnew kernel and all.
Great Job to the Mint Team.

We cannot have Firefox crashing on us in mint 19.3 when trying to take care of some business on our computer. Everything is lost
and we have to start all over again. This never happened in mint 19.2.

Oh my lord it’s even more amazing!!! I love Linux Mint! Tried about 12 distros and I’m a sysadmin for about 6 at work along with
the generic MacOS and Windows. Linux Mint is such a good work / personal OS!!!

If you can run Win7 smoothly, you can probably run Mint smoothly. I use your softwares and I switched from
Win7, everything smooth.

That was the only Mint upgrade that failed miserably for me, got locked out completely, couldn’t even login through a TTY, no error
messages or anything. Thank god for recovery root shell + Timeshift, sticking to 19.2 for now. For those that are curious, boot to
recovery mode, enter root shell, “mount -o remount,rw /”, then “timeshift –list”, then “timeshift –restore” choose the correct
snapshot/hdd for bootloader, wait for a reboot and bam working system again.

Ignore my previous post, somehow my /etc/pro le.d/*.sh scripts got messed up sometime between making a
timeshift and updating to 19.3, after I xed that Mint 19.3 works great. Thanks

Tried an upgrade from 18.3 on a laptop – this failed too – boot-up taking an age and X is failing to start.

Otra restauración de Timeshift.

Eso es 2 fallas de 2. Esta experiencia me ha hecho repensar sobre hacer actualizaciones in situ con Mint.
