One of my Mint 19.1 machines seems to regularly refuse to acknowledge mouse clicks...

Mint 19 Update Manager occasionally seems to have an issue where it cannot refresh the update list.

Most likely, it is a repository problem that will resolve itself if you just wait a bit & try again.

Mint is trying to eliminate Samba...

Unable to launch "cinnamon-session-cinnamon"

apt install mint-meta-cinnamon

"You have X broken package on your system!

I was updating, upgrading Thunderbird from the Update Manager. I got a message:

"You have 1 broken package on your system!
Use the "Broken" filter to locate it."

What is that, how do I run it?

  • sudo apt-get install -f

I was removing unwanted software from my Linux Mint machine and went too far...

  • Unable to launch "cinnamon-session-cinnamon" X session "cinnamon-session-cinnamon" not found; Falling back to default session
  • aaarrrggg...
  • Open an SSH session to the machine
    • apt install mint-meta-cinnamon
  • aaahhh...   :)
