Linux Mint Forums

I have a couple machines with single core AMDs (a sempron and turion) that seem to have less cpu usage spikes when they run Lubuntu. However I like the look of Mint a little better. I have tried LM xfce several times, but the processor usage will spike to 30% just from circling the mouse cursor arou...

If I could only find where to buy.

I'd also be interested in this http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en-us/mb ... p?S_ID=953
but I can't find it anywhere. Not sure why as it is not really new either.

Hello Mr_Reed, it is really hard to find any informations to VX900 relatedt to Linux/Ubuntu. I found one Computer in the database with that Chrome9 HD. It is on a HP Thin Client with Ubuntu Core 18 as the OS: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?probe=7265640cdc It is a very actuak probe, so that y...

Hello Mr_Reed, it is easier to look for possible linux support, if you could name a computer model or the processor and graphic card. Well to be more specific I am asking about the VIA Nano L2007 that is included on this http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/motherboard_view.asp?productid=813&proname=MVB...

I hope this helps.

I don't own it yet, so I can't test drive it.

Is there a place where I can confirm support for a VIA Nano processor and the associated VIA onboard graphics? The processor seems to be fairly modern as it is a 64 bit unit, and the motherboard is supposed to be Win 8 and 10 compatible. In the past, I have tried to use LM with VIA C7 and wasn't rea...

The problem was with my router. Factory reset the router and the HP connects now. Yippee! Thanks!

Happily solved

No because it appears to have a driver loaded, and it connects at my university with no problem. Do I need an updated driver?

I successfully turned off power management, but still no connnection

Try this: 1. Disable power management for your wifi chipset: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/internet#TOC-Disable-power-management-for-the-wireless-card (item 2.1, right column) When I attempted this, I get an error saying something like "xed cannot handle admin locations&qu...

I think I already have "CE" and not "EE" As I said, it's weird that it works at school with no issues, but just won't connect to my home connection. It's too much trouble to change routers when all my other devices work fine. It seems I need to try the power management command in...

I don't know how to shut the power management off through the terminal.

Greetings forum members. Hoping to get some assistance on this strange wifi issue. Here I have HP Pavilion g6 laptop with the RTL8188CE chip and it's not connecting to my wifi. I suspect there is an issue with the power management. Interestingly enough, the laptop worked at the library at my univers...

That would be nice to know ahead of time. Ran into the same issue in 18.3
Afraid to walk away because I'd get locked out

Maybe I missed someone already posting this, but you can hide those unwanted kernel updates (and if you have everything sorted out and working there isn't a logical reason to update your kernel unless a serious vulnerability turns up). Open the Update Manager, then 'Edit', then 'Preferences', and u...

So if you are running a fresh install of 18.3 unless you have specifically chosen to install a 4.4.0-x kernel you are not technically using a LTS kernel.

According to the https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3480 18.3 should be LTS. Maybe we're not talking about the same thing?

I'm using 18.3 xfce. In previous versions I believe 18.1 or 18.2, I never had the update manager constantly nagging me about updating kernels. I have always been under the impression that kernel updates will break the computer especially for someone like myself that is somewhat new to the Linux worl...

It is. Those updates - inside of a series) can fix a security leak, they can also fix a stability issue. If the maintainers provide an update, the update manager will find it after some time and consequently does offer it. LTS does not mean, that the original packages will be good until the end of ...
