Re: Mounting error -- "NTFS partition is in an unsafe state"

I am having this problem with Linux Mint 18 Beta. After I disabled "fast startup", I gained access to my NTFS RAID disks. However, I can still not access the Windows 10 partition on my desktop. This is odd because I can access my Windows 10 partition on my laptop. Error mounting /dev/sdc4 ...

Re: Log files eating up disk space!

I opened all four of the files that I mentioned using "less var/log/"logfile". In all four log files, one entry was listed what I think to be thousands of times. It is listed below. Dec 18 00:40:17 dannie-Inspiron-11-3152 kernel: [14915.224153] i2c_designware 808622C1:00: i2c_dw_handl...

Log files eating up disk space!

Hello. I have never experienced this problem before. I have a 37.9 GB ext4 partition with a Linux Mint 17.3 installed. In the past, this has been more than enough room. Now, I am receiving low disk space warnings. I investigated this and found the culprit to be huge log files in /var/log. The log fi...

Re: Linux Mint 15 "Olivia" released!

NO HDMI SOUND!!!! I am at a loss trying to figure out why a this release was made final with such a widespread issue. Simply using the newer kernel like Ubuntu did would easily solve the HDMI sound issue. I tried it on Linux Mint 15 and the new kernel works! There is no need to add another repositor...

Re: mintinstall crashes when searching.

I am having this same problem on Maya with the cinnamon desktop. Mintinstall freezes after I type the first letter in the search box. I then have to force it to quit. Any suggestions? I saw a post related to this that said it had been solved, but what is the fix?

GUI login as root on Mint 13

Having browsed the topics related to this, I did not find an answer. I believe that I have successfully set a root password in the terminal per the related posts in the forum. However when I try to login in at the login screen as root, I get a message saying that administrator cannot login from this...

Re: How do I enable root account in Isadora?

You have to do what I did. You cannot change the theme and icon theme of the package manager without being root or su! Try it. You'll have this nice theme and then when you open up the package manger, it'll look horrible because you didn't theme it as well. Did you even read why I had to go su? I do...

Re: Cannot play Hulu on Isadora

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashpl ... 64bit.html This is the link for the pre-release version of Abobe's 64 bit flash player for linux and is a tar ball format. I like how they decided to work on 64 bit linux first rather than Windows or Mac OS. That's funny.

Re: Cannot play Hulu on Isadora

I may just install the 32 bit version of Isadora instead. I do think that adobe is working on a new version of 64-bit flash for linux currently. I never noticed it on windows because I use Firefox which is 32 bit anyway as compared to the 64 bit internet explorer. Hmm... I guess these issues will al...

Re: How do I enable root account in Isadora?

I figured it out. I used gksu gnome-appearance-properties %F and typed my password in. All's good now. I just cannot stand the looks of the package manager without changing the theme and icons to match the rest of my desktop. LOL

Will this edition be Asus Eee PC friendly? I tried it earlier on my 1000h but it would not detect my wireless card. When I tried to install the inf file using the installer, it would not automatically detect available wireless networks. I did this all from the live cd without an install. Would a ful...

Re: Linux Mint eee pc edition

I really hope that someone takes this up as a project because I looked at the workarounds required and found them rather complicated to risk trying. Many of us would love to see an "out of the box" mint that works with the Asus Eee PC. Mint 5 would not pick up my wireless or eth0 connectio...

Linux Mint eee pc edition

An edition dedicated to the eee pc and eee box computers would be great. I have an eee box and eee pc 1000h and would love to have mint on them rather than ubuntu eee. Does anybody know of future plans? :?:

You try it on Elyssa. I went through the mintassistant but I still get the message "The System Administrator is not allowed to login on this screen."

Elyssa won't let me login as root

I prefer to create a root account so that I can theme synaptic and other programs that require access. After installing Elyssa today, I have discovered that I cannot login to root. At login, it mentions something about not being able to login to root on that screen. Any suggestions? Thanks.
