Might be easier to do a clean install from a USB, assuming you've nothing on the PC that isn't backed-up.

This happens during the boot up?

You'd previously had Mint 19.1 running successfully, or where you upgrading to 19.1, or upgrading 19.1 to 19.2?

Something got corrupted, look at the following.

Never a problem until this need to show the transfers are international

There are several posts, and I think a thread, suggesting that the Transferwise transaction receipt, together with bank book and bank letter, are acceptable evidence that funds have come from overseas.

i use OFX

I've setup accounts with OFX and Transferwise - to date OFX have never managed to beat Transferwise on SGD to THB transfers.

They are also just as highly evasive about giving out any information at all when you contact them about it. 

I was infuriated by the "if you wish us to investigate further there'll be a SGD40 charge" response; my reply to HSBC isn't printable here.

I stopped using HSBC to transfer from Singapore about 18 months ago for similar reasons. It used to be a single SGD10 flat rate charge to transfer SGD to my account in Thailand. Then I found myself being hit with a further SGD20 further down the line. When queried I was told it was my Thai Bank. Thai Bank said no it's not, HSBC changed their story to an 'intermediary' bank, when challenged further I was told there was a SGD40 charge to investigate.

That's when I switched to Transferwise.

Sure, they could pack 'em in the truck with the smugglers and fit a hose to the exhaust.

Yes the government will pay and then will sell and make money

Governments NEVER make money!

Ok. So why not do that for 17 days?

Sorry, but who's going to pay? The people caught smuggling obviously weren't about to pay for quarantine, that's why they tried smuggling them. So the government/taxpayer pays for quarantine and testing?

I don't think so. Sad they got buried alive, but wringing the necks of 4,000 birds?

Wirelesshack is still the best place to see what's current for Kodi

It depends on the currency. So advisable to build a spreadsheet of quotes and see what works and if there's an upper limit to any benefit.

I transfer Singapore Dollars, and for me Transferwise wins every time because of the difference in exchange rates. The percentage charge from Transferwise falls from 0.85% to 0.65% between 1 to 25k SGD, after that it remains at 0.65%. HSBC charge SGD30 regardless the amount. But the disparity between exchange rates means that even though a transfer of SGD100k would attract a fee from Transferwise of SGD650 I would still save some Bht18,000 on the transfer.

Read the other day that Nord vpn had been hacked and lots of

customers details stolen, also that half of the VPN companies,

several of the top ones are owned by Chinese.source,Wilders Security forum.

I just use Browsec which is good enough for me, $2.99 a month

on a year package, they are Russian ,but works well with UK

sites that are blocked and I don't do any online banking,

The reports of Nord VPN being hacked were somewhat alarmist, Nord VPN's response is below with link. 

A few months ago, we became aware of an incident in March 2018 when a server at a datacenter in Finland we had been renting servers from was accessed without authorization. This was done through an insecure remote management system account that the datacenter had added without our knowledge. The datacenter deleted the user accounts that the intruder had exploited rather than notify us.

The intruder did not find any user activity logs because they do not exist. They did not discover users’ identities, usernames, or passwords because none of our applications send user-created credentials for authentication.

The intruder did find and acquire a TLS key that has already expired. With this key, an attack could only be performed on the web against a specific target and would require extraordinary access to the victim’s device or network (like an already-compromised device, a malicious network administrator, or a compromised network). Such an attack would be very difficult to pull off. Expired or not, this TLS key could not have been used to decrypt NordVPN traffic in any way. That’s not what it does.

This was an isolated case, and no other servers or datacenter providers we use have been affected.

Well thanks for all the weather reports, but it does say Gulf Coast from Surat south. And yes it has been a wet weekend in Hat Yai, and we've a wet week ahead, but that's to be expected as November is the wettest month here.

But with cooler temperatures and a good breeze November and December are two months I rather like, despite or possibly because of the rain.
