![]() ![]() I have switched to tty1 before in Mint 17.2 and I do not think there were ever any problems like this. Probably the answer is quite simple and obvious, I just need the right person to help me. I don't want to try any of the other solutions I could find, because they are all for people who really "messed things up", and I don't want to reinstall graphics drivers, or cinnamon, or add anything to the grub startup command, because I am pretty sure those have nothing to do with the problem. ![]() The follow-up: I tried making sure I was in tty7 before restarting, and testing if that fixed it, but I can't get it right. Edit: it also shows in tty1 mode after the x server is stopped when shutting down, for a few seconds before the computer turns off. Not only is this annoying, but it seems to be slowing down the boot process by at least a few seconds. The problem: Now every time I start the computer it boots to tty1 for a few seconds, until the x server starts, and the cinnamon login screen loads. Thus, I switched to tty1 and restarted with the "shutdown -r 0" command. I then switched back to tty7 to see that the problem persisted, and I could not restart (because the restart window was also transparent). It just showed me suggestions of what I might be trying to type). I tried to restart the x server, but I couldn't remember the command correctly (I did not end up doing anything, so I am quite sure I did not wreck anything. Thus, I pressed ctrl+alt+F1 to drop into the tty1 terminal. I couldn't look it up on the Internet at the time, because all my windows were transparent. The background: I had the "show desktop" applet error, where the windows become transparent. This driver is compatible with my card, and it is what I had before the switch to 18.1). I am using Linux Mint 18.1 with Cinnamon, and it is a fresh install, as of a few days ago, but I have installed quite a few programs and done a bit of customization (including updating my nvidia graphics drivers to nvidia 340 using the driver manager. About me: I have been using Linux a few years now, so I generally have some idea of what I'm doing. ![]()
