x-caja-desktop window appears 10 times on login.
:) Hello Linuxmint friends, I'm happily using Linuxmint 16 Petra cinnamon since about a month and I have no complaints. There's one little thing though: Very often, but not always, when I log into the system the x-caja-desktop window appears on the screen 10 times. Why and how can I get rid of this ...

But now, a red x appears on the update manager icon and when I open it, it says there's an error. It reads like this: E: Encountered a section with no Package : heade...

How to post a sceenshot in forum's reply
Today I installed Gparted to see the partitions and took a screenshot successfully but was unable to post it in a reply of another thread in this forum. How do you post it in these spaces? I'm using Linuxmint 15 Mate. Thank you for your help.

Re: How can I uninstall linuxmint 15 mate
:D Hello Karl, Pastebin probably removed the wireless_info.text because it was extremely long. But anyway yesterday I found out that you were correct in your first analysis of the wireless_info.text and after I finally booted into the new installation on Linuxmint 15 mate (which I did connected to t...

Re: How can I uninstall linuxmint 15 mate
Hello Karl, Thank you for answering me !!! The machine does have Fn+F11 to turn wireless on and off. When I'm in Windows a small window on the upper left of the screen shows momentarily on or off when you press the keys mentioned. But when I'm in Linuxmint, nothing happens and nothing shows when you...

Dear Karl, I'm not sure how I got the result but however this is what I got. I'm not sure if it's complete. Now it's pastebin.com/ F3UvLfWx Note: I haven't read the whole book yet but while I was browsing it, almost at the end, I found "how to make a script executable". Somehow, I'm glad I...

First everthing worked smoothly but now I'm having a hard time to boot into Mint (no problem booting into Windows). If I select the first choice which is what it should be as the most direct choice.

Re: How can I uninstall linuxmint 15 mate
Dear Karl,
Let me remind you that I don't understand this language so much. When you say "script", what exactly are you referring to? The command line or the extracted text? How do I make the script "executable"? And what do mean by "running"?
Joel,

Re: How can I uninstall linuxmint 15 mate
Karl, Am I correct to think that these last command lines you gave me will extract the file to the folder /home/joel/Descargas? Well I tried the first group of three command lines and the out put was: No such file or directory. Then I tried these first three command lines and the last one included a...

Hi Karl, The terminal answers /home/joel/Descargas/wireless_script_xtd.zip /home/joel/.cache/.fr-vap4rG/wireless_script_xtd.sh /home/joel/.cache/.fr-UPYXRg/wireless_script_xtd.sh Note: It seems the only way to boot into Mint is through the recovery mode in 3 or 4 intents. On standby, Joel
