My brief, incomplete LM19 Odyssey
\nInstallation phase
\n==================
\nLinux Mint 19 64bit Mate v2 LIVE-CD crashed \u2013 several attempts needed
\n(1) frozen windows
\n(2) bluetooth not working
\nBIG PROBLEM \u2014 PASSWORD stays w ENGLISH \u2026 nuisance when using ie yz\u00e4\u00f6\u00fc etc<\/p>\n
After Installation
\n==================
\ndecrypt password reverts back to default= English, hence dont use pw keys that change under different idioms
\nlike zy.- etc<\/p>\n
Several freezes after update
\nSolution: Keep on working, behaviour disappeared<\/p>\n
BIG problem
\nNO shutdown, no reboot \u2014 only hard reset
\nSolution: Add to grub \u201cacpi=force\u201d ==> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\u201dquiet splash acpi=force\u201d<\/p>\n
BIG problem
\nseveral USB SSD which were formated under Win10 1803+ not mountable \u2013 NO popup notification \u2026
\nUnder older Mint \u201cInconsistany complaints of NTFS\u201d
\nSolution: ???<\/p>\n
BIG problem
\nFont size of many apps dont get adjusted to customized settings- \u2013 instead stay small ie
\nSolution: ???<\/p>\n
Contrast
\nDefault font contrast not very eye friendly (lacks contrast)
\nSolution: ???<\/p>\n
Keyboard
\nKeyboardlayout default cant be permantently changed (always reverts to English)
\nSolution: ???<\/p>\n
Calibre
\nno icon on taskbar (Problem since 17.x) \u2013 lol
\nWorkaround: AllTray<\/p>\n
Application interface
\nWhen selecting several apps for install at same time\/in row, not all get installed then
\nSolution: ???<\/p>\n
Virtualbox
\nMinimzed window doesnt restore fully \u2013 2 attempts needed
\nSolution: ???<\/p>\n
NO automount of 2nd Disk
\nSolution: Add line to fstab \u201c\/dev\/sdbx \/media\/username\/disklabel ntfs defaults 0 0\u201d
\nie \/dev\/sdb3 \/media\/linuxmint\/VM ntfs defaults 0 0
\nor better use the UUID instead of \/dev\/sdaX (the UUID can be easily found under \u201cDisks\u201d App)<\/p>\n
FOlder colors
\nMissing several color options, ie yellow, teal, light green
\nVideo folder doesnt change color when applied<\/p>\n
Redshift
\nDoesnt work properly (cant togle between on\/off
\nSolution: Start gtk-redshift ONLY
\nno redshift adjustment?
\nSolution: LinuxMint forum? or command line ie mint@mint:~$redshift -O 6000K<\/p>\n
