Need help updating: (I hate updates and updating!) I have four (4) IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads with these versions of Linux Mint installed. #1 T420 linux Mint version is 18.1 Serena #2 T430 linux Mint version is 18.1 Serena #3 T460 Linux Mint version is 20.1 Ulyssa #4 T530 Linux Mint version is 19.1 Tessa #1 is my primary computer and it is the only one on which everything (mostly) works the way I want it to work ... although it has several problems because the OS cannot be updated. Every week, I back up all of my data to the other three (3) and each of them have various deficiencies and need to be updated. For more than a year, I tried to get #3 to work in all respects as well as #1, but I was unable to get four (4) virtual desktops to work with unique screen backgrounds on each one. Now, #3 has developed problems because so many things that had been working fine, no longer work after I was coerced to do the latest update. Among the problems, I got an error message that said there was some defective program somewhere on the system, and it said I should use some program to find which program was defective, but I cannot find how to do that. I would be willing to pay someone (hopefully someone in the East Valley) to help me get this mess cleaned up and get all of my old Thinkpads working the way they once did before blank blank updates screwed up everything.
