Linux Mint Forums

I have an Apple MacBook Pro 15" from 2018, type A1990, typetitle MacBookPro15,1 My screen is broken and therefore I just now sold it, but I would like to share some tinkering with Linux Mint, perhaps usefull for someone. I used the macbook with a wired network cable using a usb network adapter,...

Hello, I create this forum post to share what succeeded after looking at a few other posts. I have a MacBook Pro 2018 which I use for work but I can't get used to Mac-OS. As the Linux support on this hardware is mentioned to be incomplete I want to use a virtual machine to use this. After some searc...

Hi, Same problem here after upgrade from Linux Mint 19 to 19.1. I have a Dell XPS 13 L322X, I can’t post the inxi -Fxz output right now because I don’t know how to do that from the command prompt (Ctrl-Alt-F1 does work). If I find the solution then I’ll post that here. So when I boot I get the graph...

Hello and welcome to this forum!! Do the batteries charge when the computer is turned off? Because it doesn't need an operating system running to charge usually. So if that doesn't work either then I suppose the computer is always used in the dock with the batteries in it and these batteries are bot...

Hello Daniel, welcome to this forum!! There are more wifi-problems on this forum that handle with bcm43xx, did you see this post: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=188282&p=975327 But I think bcm43xx is much used. When you have your network running through the cable then you m...

I have no experience with btrfs and that is why this sticks out for me /dev/sda8 on /qemu/mint type btrfs (ro,subvol=@) /dev/sda8 on /qemu/mint/home type btrfs (ro,subvol=@home) Is it an option to first try ext4 to see if it works then? Also I find the two lines strange but it might just be a repres...

Hello and welcome to this forum!! I have a similar computer and it wasn't supported under Mint 17-64 Cinnamon, but works like a charm under Mint 17.1. So please post what version you are using. If you're not sure then open a terminal and type: cat /etc/lsb-release Furthermore: are there any propriet...

Hello and welcome to this forum!! I hate to start with the fact that I don't have the solution but I can tell you what I would do. Perhaps someone else can give some better information after this. What you encounter shouldn't happen. Can you tell what filesystem you have chosen for the 300Gb partiti...

Heb je alle mogelijkheden bekeken onder (in engelstalige versie van Cinnamon) Appearance-Themes-Window borders ? Ik meende, dat je ook themes zou kunnen selecteren en dan de kop veranderen maar dat werkt zo niet kennelijk. Elders in het forum vond ik een discussie daarover, misschien verandert dat n...

Hello and welcome to this forum!! Interesting question and I think you did a good job in investigating the problem first (I don't think Hardware support is what it is about btw, I would choose "Personalize and Customize" or "Cinnamon"). I just now tried on Mint 17.1-64 Cinnamon i...

Hello and welcome to this forum!! Nice that you've got it working. And I think both of your options could work, but I can't work out the details at this moment. What I was thinking is that since your Raspberry Pi did the wakeuponlan it might also take care of the keeping awake. So if you send a wake...

When I google for acer aspire one zg5 mouse not working I see some more problems, not specific to Linux. You might look if there's an option there for solving it. And I found some links on askubuntu.com and this one, https://wiki.debian.org/DebianAcerOne#Touchpad . See if there's a solution there.

Thanks for sharing this. There are some more issues with USB3. But I also found that using USB3 with a USB3-harddisk was blazingly fast. Which kernelversion are you using? Did you also try it with an updated kernel? Because when I search "usb 3.0 site:kernel.org" then I find quite a few pr...

Hello and welcome to this forum!! So it sounds like something's wrong with the driver in Mint 17, which sounds strange for your laptop as sounds quite mainstream. You might first want to try Mint 17.1, which is the most recent and because of the new release mechanism also has longterm support. And w...

I suppose you are working wireless? If you can connect the computer wired then you can try if that works much faster. And if so then there is probably a problem with the support for your wireless driver under Linux. You might post the output here from these terminal commands so the forum can help in...

/etc/resolv.conf was the place to put your nameservers, that do the translation from hostname to ip address. My VM with Mint17.1-64 Cinnamon has this information in it (which is probably wrong too but gives some information) # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf...

No solution for you yet but two suggestions on how to get there. When you open a terminal you can use the command ps -ef | grep dropbox to see if the program is running. Because you suggest it's just the icon not showing up, but did the program start normally? And if it isn't running you can start i...

Sounds like a wrong installation option.
I think on the remote computer you have chosen the option that the printer has a duplexer installed.
This would both explain the turn around of each second page and in case of an odd number of pages the last page being stuck.

Under /etc/ there is a file resolv.conf, perhaps that has wrong servers in it.
But a good idea might be to try a live USB with Mint17.1 and if that works well then migrate her to that new version.

Hello and welcome to this forum!! I have been searching for what you are looking for but I never saw it mentioned as a possibility anywhere. Did you have that using Gnome under Solaris? If so then it might also work with Mate, which should be sort of a Gnome2-recreation. But I hope someone else can ...
