Thanks for the reply Pierre, it was exactly what I was looking for. If the supplied OS have configuration issues with hardware (ie sound) not working 100 percent, then I may just go for the no HD and no OS option, buy a 1T HD from a 3rd party and install Mint 13 myself.

I get this message at boot but it don't seem to have any adverse affect on the performance of my machine....

Hi, Does any know if M13 that comes with the Mintbox Pro is a custom version of M13 or is it the standard version that can be downloaded from the website? Reason for asking is because I'm interested in buying the Fit-PC version of the Mintbox Pro and install M13 onto it as Mintbox is not available t...

This solution works and is a lot easier than falling back to Mint 10: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/how-to-downgrade-to-compiz-086-in.html Thanks for the link, was having problem with Compiz, followed it to the T and its worked beautifully. The one thing I wanted to work and missed terribly was th...

Thanks Clem, downloading it now

You can go into settings and change the settings for 'external encoder' to enable both "Swap Byte Order" and "Write Wave Header". I can't be more specific as I currently don't have K3B or KDE installed. Paul Paul, you are a star!!!!!!! I THANK YOU :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :...

Not sure if this will help, but in order to read Chinese, I think you need to enable language support. To do this, you need to go into Menu > Admin > Language Support and add the Chinese package to Mint

Hi I have Mint 6 32 bit running on my laptop and the 64 bit on the desktop. I have installed K3b and Lame via Synaptic and when I try to rip a CD, I'm getting error message saying command failed. I can't rip using either the laptop or desktop. I get the same error message from both. I have also inst...

Well, I've installed it last night and I have to say this is the first version which didn't work 'out-of-the-box' for me. It didn't recognized the resolution of my LCD screen and I was stuck with 1152 x 864 instead of 1280 x 1024. The Nvidia driver installed fine, it just didn't give me the option o...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone a Team Mint Linux

Just installed it to my lappy and as usual, the installation was faultless. Everything seems to be working as it should. I'm very impressed

Just wondering, if I install the RC 1, when the final version is released, will it be available via updates?

Just installed this today after a bit of a nightmare going from Mint 4.0 > Ubuntu 8.10 > Kubuntu 8.10 > Mandriva 2008.....Couldn't get X to work correctly with either Ubuntu and Kubuntu. I didn't like the look of Mandriva so decided to try Mint 5.0 (64 bit) Everything is working as it should be, ins...

@ PurplePants Your problem is because of the separate boot partition, message.mint has to be fixed Copy /etc/grub/message.mint to /boot/grub/, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change to gfxboot=/grub/message.mint After this you will get a nice graphical grub and no double enter I will read this through...

Hi Husse Yes, I do have a Boot partition, as well as a separate Root and Home :) Can I just add that before I stumbled onto Mint and deciding to use it on a more permanent basis, I was a Kubuntu (7.04 & 7.10) and Ubuntu user and not experienced this weird boot problem in either of the distro. Th...

Right, I've just rebooted and this is the message I get from both systems -

graphic file 'etc/grub/message.mint' missing. Press any key to continue....

When a key is pressed, I get taken to the second screen where I'm asked to choose which Kernel to boot from.....

Hope this help

Hi I have the exact same problem as the OP. When booting up the PC, I have to hit 'Enter' twice in order to get to the Mint splash screen. I have had this problem from the start (I've been using Mint 4.0 for about 6 months now) and it's never been a bit problem for me. I have Mint installed on two P...

Upon further investigation, it seems that I'm only unable to print certain pdf files while others are OK

Hi I have two printers set up in my network via Ethernet. I have 2 PC installed with Mint and they've been set up to use these printers, but I am having problem getting them to print PDF files. It is not a driver issue because I can print web pages, word doc, excel, email etc etc, that is apart from...

What do you mean localhost:631, I don't understand
