I have been running Linux Mint 17 on several computers 24/7 for a very long time with very reliable performance. This morning, when I turned on the monitor, the panel had vanished and I no way to do anything. I finally found a way to get to the command line and all of my data appears to be there, but none of my utilities in my home/bin file work. Recently, I read that Linux Mint was threatening to coerce users to upgrade to a newer version. This would be unconscionable and reprehensible! Is this what they have done. I hope someone can help me figure out how to get my system working again. Please help. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
