Linux Mint Forums

Hello everybody, I'm happy using Linux Mint 16 and for now only have a small problem. The Time and date usually is wrong and I set up the time manually but when I try to change to get the time automatically thru the internet it tells me that Ntp support is not installed. So I go to software manager ...

:) 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 ...

Thank you very much Austin Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The driver was installed inmediately!!!

:) Hello Linuxmint friends, I am now proudly using Linuxmint 16 Petra cinnamon as the only OS in my laptop since about a month ago. About 3 months ago I bought an Epson printer and downloaded the drivers to install in the OS I had before (ubuntu 12.04 and windows7). Basically I needed the drivers fo...

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much JoeBingo,
The first command from the terminal solved the problem.

:D Hello Linuxmint friends, I recently erased windows 7 from my laptop and installed Linuxmint 16 Petra cinnamon and I'm happy I did. 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...

I'm using Linux Mint 15 olivia, cinnamon and ubuntu 13.10 and erased windows from the 320 Gb harddisk of my notebook. I bought an epson expression xp-201 all-in-one but the linux applications that I have installed (simple scan and xsane) don't recognize the scanner. It recognizes the printer with th...

Problem solved. Thank you very much!!!!

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.

snapshot2.jpeg ]Hello Karl, Please excuse the delay but I had some urgent business to attend and it took me a few days to finish. I have installed gparted and the screenshot application and taken the screenshot but I don't know how to post it here. Before I try again, I can see that this installati...

: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...

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 Kath,
I couldn't find the link for the moment but you might try "Floss Manuals".

Yours,
Joel

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...

I installed Linuxmint 15 Mate along with windows 7 recently in a notebook with 320GB in the HDD. 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. It s...

Dear Karl, Whatever it takes me to understand the computer language (which I clearly explained that I ignored and that you had to CONDESCEND if we were to take YOUR WAY of fixing instead of my way of simply uninstalling a faulty installation because I don't have the knowledge of SOLID BASIC terminal...

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,

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

Dear Karl, I finally downloaded the file and succeeded filing it into the home folder also with a usb pendrive into the Mint machine. When I try step 6, I type the indicated command into the terminal but the terminal tells me that it cannot access /home/joel/wireless_script_xtd.sh': No such file or ...
