Linux Mint Forums

There must be a text for Command line. All my stuff is on my old Acer laptop that died. It would show what is un USB ports.
Thank you. Poor eyesight. I will try to search. I have to use an Optivisor to read here.

Lennovo Ideapad 33OS

I does not see my trackball which my four previous Mint machines always saw. Never needed drivers.
I have tried Fn plus F7.

Thanks.

Wirel;ess working. I did not see the proper icon.

I have never had to down load a driver using Mint or any other Linux OS with the track ball. Both always were recognized.i have a cable and Bluetooth.
Again. Thank you.

Partially solved. Found wireless connecti9on. Poor eyesight issue.

Got wireless but trackball still does not work.

Fn + F7 no go. That use to work with Acer laptops.

It will not recognize trackball mouse. My other Mint PC's always did. There is a USB code to check I think. Been some years. 79 Guess I am spoiled.

Sorry. I did not have the PC with me at the time.

Lennovo Ideapad 33OS

No DVD player a SSD.

Did dumb thing I have never done before. I use an external player.

I have a Lennovo with factory Mint 19.3 64 bit Cinnamon that was running good. I shut it down three days ago but somehow disabled Internet wireless. I have good wireless but nothing on this machine for three days. I went into settings and I can see the router and password but cannot figure out what ...

Found a New Lenovo with 64 bit Cinnamon at Amazon.

Thank you but far too complex. All I need is a laptop. 64 bit maybe Cinnamon or Mate.

I am looking for a Linux Mint standard laptop company in the USA. Both my laptops running 18.0 finally failed. I have a HP running W10. Eye sight issues. Cannot deal with dual booting anymore. I tried two years ago. Not easy getting old. Three younger brothers never had the chance. W10 a pain. Thank...

Thanks. I plugged the Mint 18 USB flash drive into a USB port and downloaded the original Mint 18.0 Cinnamon. I forgot where I had stored the flash drive why I bought the CD. I should learn how to make the CD's again. Been some years. Works fine but the USB port does not support my track ball mouse ...

Thanks for all your help. What a waste of time.
I think I will need VLC and a video down loader for Firefox. I had one do not remember which one though. I stay in contact with my daughters and get videos one in a while.
It was a leaning experience.

Yes, the CD did install by itself. I know why now. xxx stuff in bookmarks.

I found my original Cinnamon 64 bit flash drive. Installing now.

The CD I bought had xxxx links in Bookmarks. Trashed.

I will let Amazon know.

No Install Icon.
I clicked on the Computer Icon. It does not show the CD. Shows all the normal stuff.
I opened each folder under Computer. No CD.
I can install updates.
No where did I select install on complete disc and wipe out two other distros.
It recognizes my password.

I searched all around. Could not find it. Usually right below Home folder.
Running CD again.

Thank you.

I just put a new CD into an older Acer 5515 that has been running Mint just fine.
Richgt now I can run Live CD. I see Computer Icon and Home folder Icon but no Icon for the CD with "Install Mint" or similar words.
I always have in the past.
Should I just start the CD again? Thank you.

Thanks guys but I see the techs have changed mint a lot. I don't like it now. I have been with Mint since 6.0. I use to dual boot. Did triple boot a couple times. This is almost radical. I will stick with 18.0 and Firefox as long as I can. The Acer 5515 has mileage on it but still runs Mint quite we...

My bad. It is Mint 18.0, not 19.0. It has an issue. I will put 18 back in. Mint 19.2 is terrible. No idea what the techs were thinking when they made this. Right now all I get is Live CD with the 19.2 CD. I see no option for install. I have to wipe out Mate 18.0 and Cinnamon 18.0 that are wonky for ...

Right now the PC is showing, Preparing to install Linux Mint but still downloading from the 'Net.
I guess I will hit back.
