Im using Linux Mint 20.1
Yesterday I removed the password protection from my user account. I then shut down the computer, then just today on the welcome screen when I click ''log in'' it just cycles. Everytime I click login it just keeps going back to the same log in screen . When I select ctrl +alt+f1 it asks for my password, when I put the password in, the one I removed, it just asks for it again. Im not sure what happened, a bug?]]> 10 Sat, 25 Sep 2021 15:54:48 +0000 https://computerhelpforums.com/threads/buying-linux-software-disc-on-ebay.54446/ https://computerhelpforums.com/threads/buying-linux-software-disc-on-ebay.54446/ invalid@example.com (Highhopes) Highhopes 13 Sat, 13 Feb 2021 14:56:34 +0000 https://computerhelpforums.com/threads/pc-in-keyboard.54161/ https://computerhelpforums.com/threads/pc-in-keyboard.54161/ invalid@example.com (biferi) biferi ]]> 4 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 17:11:07 +0000 https://computerhelpforums.com/threads/apple-tv.53202/ https://computerhelpforums.com/threads/apple-tv.53202/ invalid@example.com (vett) vett I have a Samsung tv that dose nt have blue tooth and most headphones are blue tooth I was tole if I got and apple tv box it would bring Bluetooth so I could use the headphones. is this true?]]> 3 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 05:06:36 +0000 https://computerhelpforums.com/threads/linux-mint-sign-in-problem.52893/ https://computerhelpforums.com/threads/linux-mint-sign-in-problem.52893/ invalid@example.com (John Stenger) John Stenger

Posting this from the Raspberry PI. For less that $40 USD, pretty good so far. Just had to add monitor, mouse and keyboard.

It originally had Windows 10 Iot on it. Then found out that it was a developer version of Windows, not what we're used to seeing on a desktop/laptop. So now it's running Raspbian OS.

The biggest problem so far has been power consumption. It's...
