I should add that this app I want, Six, has not been maintained since 2008 and its configure file might be out of date.

I use Sarah 64-bit and Mate 1.14.1. When I ran ./configure to install an app http://six.retes.hu/ I got an error checking for kde-config... not found configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found! Please check whether you installed KDE correctly. I don't want to switch from MATE t...

My OS is Linux Mint 18 Sarah 64-bit using Mate 1.14.1 When I try to play Super Tux Kart, it complains I need a newer version of gtk, 3.1 or better. david@Epicurus ~/Downloads/gtk/gtk+-3.2.0 $ ls -aFl total 5240 drwxr-xr-x 17 david david 4096 Sep 25 2011 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 david david 4096 Oct 15 15:52 ...

I tried to change my LM Community password but was told "must be 10 characters or longer." So I made it longer and was then told "must include at least 1 digit." So I did that and was told "must have at least 1 special character." Here's an idea. How about you say all that on the change password pag...

I was able to run "sudo apt-get install wine1.6" successfully. Thanks for your help!

That did it! Thanks very much. I wonder if Linux will ever be able to rectify such issues automatically.

Yes, the man page is confusing. I had this working before, when I was using LMDE. my home directory contained the text file .xbomb with one line: grid.font: lucidasans-72 The grid font is used for the hexadecimal numbers displayed in the grid, how many neighbors, up to 12 (hex digit C) for a grid of...

I installed xbomb with the Software Manager. Here is what happens when I try to run it from a terminal window: david@Epicurus ~ $ xbomb XBomb Version 2.2a (c) Andrew M. Bishop 1994-2009.

I thought I was at UP8. Maybe I added the sources.list file manually afterward. At any rate, I made sources.list identical to official-packages-repositories.list, and I got lots of W: messages, but apt dist-upgrade did run. It downloaded lots of packages and upgraded them. Now, however, Mint install...

Is the smxi script recommended for upgrading to LMDE 2? I like the idea of using a text based script without X for upgrades, but I don't know if it has kept up with the major changes that come with LMDE 2. TIA

Thank you!

This example uses the app POVray, but my question is more basic, because there is something fundamental about figuring stuff out in Linux which I seem to be missing here. I have used the git clone command in the past, when I was provided with the exact URL to use, which would usually begin with git:...

Thanks for your help. I still have some questions. I posted this thread in LMDE->Software and Applications. Why was it moved to LMDE->Installation and boot? That forum is described as "Questions about Grub, the liveCD and the installer" My question does not pertain to any of that. Browsers are apps....

I have a dual boot 64-bit machine running LMDE with Mate and Windows 7. I would like to on the game server Ludoteka.com while in LMDE. This site requires a Java plugin for my browser. It won't work under Firefox. I could not find a Java plugin listed in the mintinstall GUI. I installed the package j...

I have openssl 1.0.1e-4 from the Debian repository for LMDE. is that okay? Thanks very much.
