Hi Php4fan,
Welcome to our forums.
The new major release’s repositories are changing frequently. Did you try clearing your cache to solve the issue?
Something like:
sudo apt clean
sudo apt-get update
In many cases these steps solve this problem.
hello I craeted 2 users one of them is normal user. When i start cinnamon after install, the sysadmin user auto logs in, I want the normal user autologin. For now I solved it by going back to gnome and change settings there. In c innamon user settings there is no autologin on/off option. or is there? thanks
