Can I just simply download a working driver and install it like I can do in Windows? MidnightWatcher , I think you need to understand that this is GNU/Linux and you have to do things in the Linux way, if you want to do something the Windows way then you should go back to Windows. As it comes to you...

@ indaymadel , check you have followed all the steps the right way, and/or check your device compatibility here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Main_Page @ k3lt01 , can you give me a link to check your info??? Really, without ndiswrapper my arms are being cut :x :x...

Why don't we have a Bluray version of Mint KDE??? I mean, CD's and DVD's are old technology now. You'll see, now I'm sitting in my chair made of platinum (gold??? c'mon, gold looks so cheap!!!) writing in my computer with a Sandy bridge processor (isn't even in production yet, but, you know, this is...

Today I installed LMDE in a small partition in my computer. Because of my WiFi wireless adapter I have to use Ndiswrapper, so I started Ndisgtk and tried to install my XP driver just to get the next message: "FATAL: module ndiswrapper found" This is a bug I already faced in Debian, now I've just fou...

@shane, aw... :( bad luck, I guess I'll have to install Kubuntu 10.10 next Monday... I was using Arch like two months ago, but I wasn't able to make ndisrapper work, by the way there's a pkgbuild for oxygen transparent overhere: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39201 @tdockery97, thanks bro ...

Here comes a challenger!!! Linux Mint 9 KDE 4.5.1, easy and clean.

LXDE without any doubt, Mint XFCE is based in Xubuntu, which uses a lot of Gnome libraries and so, is as light as Gnome. In the other hand, as somebody said, Fluxbox isn't very user friendly.

Never mind, problem solved with an update today.

Uh I'm going to try to connect my devices at boot, cause I use a WiFi wireless adapter, ant it always work, maybe it's because it is connected at boot.

When I do "$ lsusb" in a terminal, it shows me my device, but "$ fdisk -l" doesn't, so I can't mount it.

Just yesterday I installed Mint 9 Gnome and my USB ports aren't working at all. I know they're functional cause they worked in Mint 9 KDE and LXDE, and right now they're working in XP.

Some help, please???

A new one... Now that I've been able to use my old scanner in Mint, I started digitalizing some artwork I have overthere. First this one, isn't finished yet, but I liked it so far. It's based in mexican traditional art. Hope you like it and leave me a comment if you're a deviant. http://th06.deviant...

EldiS, nice work dude, I can see you used the new KDE logos (and they're huge, I guess they're SVG), please, could you tell me where did you get them??? Or would you be so kind to send them to me???
Thanks!!!

My desktop, with Mint 8 Helena, Gnome.
I like to keep my desktop clean and simple. But I'd like to use Conky, If someone can give me a hand or post a nice tuto that would be nice.
@Zwopper: Dude, where have you been??? I've missed your art!!!

A new KDE wallpaper I made, its very simplistic but I really liked, I hope you like it too. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/005/2/4/Cloudy_Mint_Kde_by_RevesDesigns.png Link Full Screen: http://revesdesigns.deviantart.com/art/Cloudy-Mint-Kde-149381688 Wide Screen: http://revesdesigns.deviantar...

I had the very same problem than you, and as you said, I couldn't find the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list. So I did this: Open your menu, then go to administration, and choose "Software sources", go to the tab "Third-Party Software" and you'll find there a list of the installed repositories, there...

Updated with Mint logo centered (Thanks kanishka!!!)
It looks much better now!!!

Thanks both,
ibm450, I try a different tuto everyday, Gimp is not only versatile, but very easy to learn I think.
I recommend http://gimp-tutorials.net/

I hope I can participate in WOTM.

Hope you like it, made it from a photograph I took in my garden, a beautiful green beetle. I'd be very pleased if you are so nice to give me some feedback and advices to improve it. Made it with Gimp. http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2009/361/3/7/Mint_Beetle_by_RevesDesigns.png Links: Full Screen: ...
