There's 27 if you don't count 0, 5, 12 and 23.

I love the psychedelic amount of JPEG around the green text in the legend.

I have played around before trying to install a few times, but I'm not sure if that exhausts the question: I brought up two terminal windows to ssh into my Raspberry Pi and to manage logs on the other, while I had a browser up to look up netcat usage examples. It didn't freeze or crash during regular activity, if we're looking for that.

If by live environment you mean the one running from the USB (before I start the actual install) then yes, the install itself starts from a live Mint, running from the USB already. Sorry, I'm not sure if that's what you meant.

First, they take the dinglebop, and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem...

Yes, I have done a few things already, including memtest. I'll copy from the forum:

The things I have tried:

  • Updating my BIOS.
  • The ISO I downloaded has been md5 checked, all fine. I have also tried 2 other ISO files from 2 other mirrors - same.
  • Three (3) USB drives to install Mint, ranging from 8 GB to 24GB.
  • Installing with or without multimedia codecs.
  • Turning on secure boot before install (I was desperate, found a forum post with a similar error message, later I found out that it was for a different reason).
  • Turning off secure boot before install (I found a different forum post where the exact opposite was recommended - later I found out that it was for a different reason).
  • Installing in compatibility mode.
  • Offering a sacrifice to Xebeth'Qlu, tormentor of souls.
  • Running gparted before install, deleting the previously half-installed partition, formatting it myself to ext4, then running the installer.
  • Splitting the aforementioned partition into a 16GB swap partition (I have 16GB RAM) and leaving the rest of it as ext4 (mounted at "/").
  • Running chkdsk -f on the SSD containing the MBR+Win10, then rebooting the PC twice, according to one of the error messages in my post below (then trying to install again).

That was the reason I decided to install Mint Cinnamon.

It's been impossible to install for a week now. And I'm not even 100% IT illiterate. After ~3 days of struggling, I decided to do the walk of shame and post on the Mint forum, admitting my failure. It's been unsolved for about a week now. >100 fails and errors, crashes, freezes.

I can't even imagine where I would (not) be had I chosen Kali or Arch.

I find myself tapping Ctrl+A -> backspace faster than I can react to it myself. Life is too short for waiting for the little cursor to travel all the way back.

Well, it's lightspeed, duh

 

Sorry if this is not the right community for the question - this was the first one that came to my mind. I'm just wondering if I'm misinterpreting the meaning of the word 'local' in this context; or this is somehow pretty normal and due to the algorithm (in which case I'd like to know this algorithm a little more); or maybe because it's a bug.

UPDATE: I just reloaded the site, thinking I might have just pressed 'next' one too many times, making the algorithm run out of ideas. At the moment I don't see any more Evanston content, however, this has happened several times before, this is why I decided to write here, because it was the 4th/5th time already.

First I just accepted the fact that a bug prevents you from blocking people, but I had enough of toxic teammates today, did some search and neither a regular search nor a reddit focused one brought relevant results. It's like nobody had this bug, but now I'm unable to mute/block people.

The block button is there, you can press it, it even gives a sound effect, but it doesn't turn into a 'blocked' button, and the chaser brats just happily spew their toxicity all game.

Did I miss something? Is it just me? Is there a maximum number of people you can block, or something?

UPDATE: After verifying integrity of local game cache files, it's still the same, so I thought I would contact Epic support. Their upload limit is 9.5MB, which is kinda funny in 2025, but okay, millions of reports (surely), let's just upload the footage to my YT channel and link it as a non-public video (it looks like pea soup already, and it's ~17MB).

Their reply was "Due to system limitations I'm unable to review your video here, but I'll kindly request you to share it in one of our socials mentioned: Here"

The link leads to their website where they offer the following 3 options to upload my video:

  • Reddit (not touching it with a stick, lol)
  • Discord (DISCORD. A feckin' voice+text chat program. For dealing with reports. From a multi billionaire company. I'm not touching it with a stick, lol)
  • X (not touching it with a stick, or anything else in the Universe)

So here we are, they have to believe my word, and if I'm lucky they will pass down the issue to some intern. If I'm not, they will be just waiting until I actually upload it to one of the above 3 atrocious platforms, and then maybe start working on it.

 

This has just happened to me for at least the 3rd time in one year. I cancelled the things I planned for today only to be at home for the delivery; I was sat at home all day and heard nothing. Then, around 2PM I found a red slip saying I should contact Royal Mail for a redelivery (I was at work yesterday when they first ~~tried~~ left a red slip). Obviously my only other day off is tomorrow (Wednesday), and the earliest they allow me to schedule it for is Thursday, so the earliest I can TRY to receive it is an entire week from now. Alternatively, I could have it redelivered to the post office near me, which closes before I could get back from work (EDIT: it ALSO opens after I have to leave for work, therefore completely useless for picking up stuff that arrives on my working day). This is super infuriating now.

Once I even found 2 red slips with different dates in my post box, even though it was empty the night before.

What's going on when this happens?

UPDATE:

So this morning, as a night owl, I decided to make a sacrifice and took an early train to the delivery office (which is open between 8AM and 10AM, but I get it, otherwise the parcels are en route during the day). I asked the guy at the window about it, being fully aware that he might or might not be part of the actual delivery process; not blaming, not interrogating, just simply asking if he knows what the heck is going on.

Yupp, he confirmed what everyone has been commenting about, lol. He didn't have anything other in mind, apart from the afternoon delivery guy cutting corners. I can still imagine it's because they are loaded with work (it happens to be the case at my job) and it's literally impossible to make everyone happy, but management refuses to pay more people. Or he's just lazy. I don't know, but the bottom line is, it wasn't because of some technical nuance, bureaucracy, barometric pressure change in the stratosphere or God knows what. Most likely, he had the parcel but decided to bring the red slip only.

My trust in humanity is in the negatives.

 

On a slightly more serious note: I really wonder what's going on in your mind when you press that button and cross anyway. Is it just because "I don't care", or is there more to it? If so: what?

EDIT: In case it's because you don't care: why do you press the button then?
