    Time to say hello to Mint 19.1 AKA Tess!

    I totally forgot something... I've read that sometimes you have to purge for an app to be completely removed. But I've never attempted this myself. It requires the command prompt... and there is a chance video won't work at all upon reboot. Just a shell. Then you have to manually install...

    Dell Touchscreen - Mint 18.3

    Yes me as well. My oldest daughter is using and even older laptop (That huge suitcase one) with Mint 18 on it and she likes it. I think its too slow, but she's happy with it. I even offered to run OpenBox desktop environment, but she's happy

    I don't use HDMI at home or even have a 4K screen, but here is a good read: https://www.cnet.com/news/what-hdmi-cable-should-i-buy/ Chances are you are fine, but I wonder if the cable or the port on the video card is causing an issue? It might be time to upgrade to a GTX 1050

    Dell Touchscreen - Mint 18.3

    It was a learning experience and definitely cheaper than buying a new one. Even at 10 years old, it runs pretty well with Mint on it.

    I would run updates first, then try the driver again.

    Dell Touchscreen - Mint 18.3

    I was giving a Dell Touchscreen Inspirion One 2205 ?All-In-One several years ago. It initially had a problem where if the computer was turned off it wouldn't turn back on. I found a workaround by removing the CMOS battery and memory... then it would boot up just fine... at least until its...

    Yes I did a fresh install of Mint 19 I haven't upgraded to 19.1 yet. Everything is running fine so far. I can't believe those drivers can't do 4K The only other thing I can think of is researching or asking on reddit

    I'm not sure what those optional sources are for??? I have both Graphics-drivers and graphics-drivers (Sources) checked Nope didn't forget about wallpapers. I think there is a folder in your /home that hosts wallpapers if you want them all in one place. but I like to use my own folder and just...

    No problem Daniel... hang in there! There is light at the end of the tunnel. Are you rebooting between switching drivers?

    Time to say hello to Mint 19.1 AKA Tess!

    I've always had to add that PPA if I want newer drivers. The stable drivers Mint provides are usually older because they are super-stable. Adding the PPA is a work-around to get any version you want to try. At your own risk of course. That is why I posted the guide. Its kinda confusing if you...

    Daniel, you have this PPA added in Mint Software Sources right? ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa That PPA should update the driver manager with the newest available versions. http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/updating-nvidia-drivers-mint.1746/

    Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone Guide

    Hmm, what version of PlayOnMac are you using? 4.3.4 is the current version. Maybe you should try an older version like 3.0 or even 2.0 This is always a problem with CD ROM games. I think there is a DRM tied to the CD ROM and the game requires the disk in the drive to play. Sadly... Also...
