Why I hate updates ... Thanks to you all !!

[John Seberg]

It shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to change the background image of your
desktop.

Let us know which version of Mint you're currently running:

20.1 (ulyssa)    
4-LMDE (debbie)    
19.3 (tricia)    
18.3 (sylvia)    
17.3 (rosa)

Also, which of the following Desktops? 

a) Cinnamon
b) MATE
c) Xfce

I wonder if the "System Reports" application (aka mintreport) will show the version 
of Mint and the specific desktop you are currently running?

Sorry, but, I don't have a Mint machine in front of me, but, maybe, if you provide this
information to the list, somebody can help. I have a machine running 20.1 with Xfce at
the office.

Cheers,

The system is working again (mostly).

All of the tips are tremendously valuable and
much appreciated !!

I would still like to "hire" someone to help
me build a new system because I am 81 now and
I just can't remember how to do everything that
I need to do (with my computers mainly).

I rsync back up most of my system to 3 other
newer Thinkpads about weekly, but I can't get
any of the newer systems to do things that my old
Mint 17.2 system is able to do.

I rely on multiple desktops with different screen
backgrounds on each one (so I know where I am ;)
but I don't know of any system other than Mint 17
that can do that. And now that capability is gone
from my Mint 17 system as a result of the last update.

Frustrating.
