Please note the wi-fi adapter is switched off in the bios as it dose not work if I use wi-fi I have a USB adapter.

Peppermint 8 64bit SAMSUNG R60 plus

Sometimes the computer will just freeze.   Keyboard and mouse stop working but screen and rest of system seems OK.

Tested RAM and HD and file system all show as OK Temp also OK.

So anyone have any clues why it should just freeze?

This can even happen when system is idle just showing the desktop with CPU at just 5% use.

Thanks.

Peppermint 8 64bit on SAMSUNG R60 plus laptop.

problem happens when selecting shutdown or reboot.

All starts well the progress bar is moving then it stops about 1/3 of the way and just gets stuck after 10 mins I just have to switch it off.

This previously happened in October 2017 the  keyboard is also frozen and so hitting Esc has no effect.

In 2017 the problem cleared up on its own after running sudo apt-update. (this has not worked this time).

I tried a Live USB of Peppermint 8 - 9 and 10 but the same problem occurs.

Previously I was asked for the following info:

Any help would be helpful.

Hi how do you copy all the TTF fonts that come with Office across to Linux?

Running mint 18.3 64bit

I did a clean installation and now this box is on a different LAN to all other devices.

This computer is on WORKGROUP   everything else is on 000D0B6DA3C4

How can I change the name of the workgroup on this computer to 000D0B6DA3C4

Rebooting made no difference.

Setting the DNS server also makes no difference.

Network manager is getting DNS settings.

 

Running mint 18.3 64bit system.

I connect via a cable LAN to the internet.

The LAN is working just fine can connect to all equipment on the LAN.

But CAN NOT connect to the internet.  Anything that needs to connect to the internet is not working.

Also tried via Wi-Fi and get connected to the modem but no connection to the internet.

Tried using a Live USB of mint 18.3 and everything works just fine.
