Re: Chrome freezing

I had the same problem where Chrome Version 109.0.5414.74 (Official Build) (64-bit) always froze after suspend using the recommended nvidia-driver-525.78.01-0ubuntu0.22.04.1. It was fixed by changing the nvidia driver to the previous version nvidia-driver-515.86.01-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Computer as follo...

Re: Any theme with prominent active window titlebar?

This topic should perhaps be marked as Solved! A brilliant solution that just works. I have just installed LM21 Cinnamon and decided - again and as usual! - to search for some way to make the title bar more noticeable.

Re: Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64bit update issue. Now Serena 18.1 Jan 2017

Hi Guys, Maybe what Clem has already suggested re this issue for me would help: sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True That did the trick for me as the ISP server was cached and so didn't have the latest data. Check for ISP cache here: http://whatismyip.network/proxy-check-tool-detect-h...

It looks like I'm not the only one with this issue. I posted on the How to upgrade to Linux Mint 18.1 page asking for advice and Clem was kind enough to suggest an issue that strangely no-one else came up with: the Transparent Proxy .

OK, so now I'm feeling a bit dumb. :oops: :oops: I updated with update manager using my tethered iPhone as I once did before. Then Clem suggested I check the APT cache and after doing that I also found there were some 42 upgrades waiting to be installed. Therefore in terminal I ran apt update after ...

A small positive update to the above situation. As above noted, the problematic file I was able to install using a mobile tethering connection!

Re: Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64bit update issue

I have been able to install Fedora 24/64 Cinnamon without a hiccup - see above.
Is it feasible that this LM18/64 Cinnamon file (cinnamon-common_3.0.7+sarah_all.deb) is the only one I am forbidden to download by my ISP?

Re: Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64bit update issue

urd_1.13.0-1_all.deb is 2.3 MB (2,313,438 bytes)
urd-1.13.0.tar.gz is 3.1 MB (3,087,797 bytes)

Both downloaded quickly and with no problems they otherwise seem complete as I can check their contents with Archive Manager.
No error message showed.
