And an addition to my above post. I'm on a new box-with my same hard-drive. The battery was not totally the issue. I took the other machine back to tech dude, and he called me the following day. What really happened when he opened it up, the dude that built it in Texas (mailed it to me...

Thank you. It has some history behind it. So I want to keep it in the history books if possible.

Was I supposed to restart after unplugging it? It didn't work. Still locked up after coming out of Suspend.

I put this thing (Cinnamon) in suspend often to keep what ever I'm working on active until later. When I take it out of suspend, the mouse will NOT engage or move. So I am forced to Restart to get mouse to function again. This frustrates me because if I'm working on something in Gimp, it does...

Hey Thank You Wizard for the Info. I'm not in Portland (thankfully), but I will certainly try to contact them. And I have a SOLVED problem I can update you on. I mentioned above the "Power Drops Out" on it's own without warning. Well, I was desperate and took it to the Goodwill Tech people...

I'm on Cinnamon 21, but I have another issue that is popping up: system shuts down without warning. Power drops out. Nada. I power back up and it runs again, but I'm suspecting either there is an issue with the board, or the power supply is going out. But seeing the shut down/restart button just...

By that I mean I did not click on Menu button as if I wanted to Restart or Shut Down system. I'll be watching a video or some other function and it just pops up out of no-where. This concerns me why this is happening which is why I'm asking here. What are your thoughts.

I know that there is an adjustment which I believe has fast or slow, but I was wondering if there is a way to increase the speed a little. I already have it all the way to the right which is as high as it goes. But, I really would like to decrease the delay between images. When I had Mint 19, it...

Okay I loaded it, and it didn't work. Wanted to get back to this thread but have been busy. Just wanted to get back to you to let you know what happened. May have some time later today. But I'll be back.

No I have not. Been busy with health stuff and keeping an eye on my kitty who also had a health issue. Just basically consumed with life stuff and not much time for things I like. Although did watch football game Saturday of the college variety. I'm even behind on checking emails.

I don't remember doing much in the set-up. All I did was download it, then had to figure out what the streaming key was. At this point I'm super frustrated. So I looked at another website that had better instructions in a step-by-step manner. Other websites have been really crappy at guiding me...

Thanks for getting back to me. Okay, I saw that on another webpage. So I down load it, and then what do I do when window asked me to link it to "encoder"? That's where I'm confused.

I've never done a Live Stream before, but am interested in doing one. Have most settings done, but stuck on window that asks me about "live stream software" in Encoder. Have seen tutorial but I'm stuck at what this window is asking me. Hoping there is someone who has done this knows what I'm...

I hope I have the thread I'm looking for. I don't want to do a live stream, I just want to get images and video off my phone, and have Linux recognize the phone when I connect it through a USB cable. So I need to to install MTP? I'm looking at Software Mgr. and see GMTP. Is this what you are...

Well, I seem to see that I really can't add anything useful being others have a good handle on things. I'm in the same situation as you-switching from Win-Doze to Linux. First I was on Mint 19.1-now on Cinnamon. I'm fairly happy with it minus a few minor problems and learning curve issues. Other...
