Linux Mint Forums

Anyone have a list of LED multi coloured keyboards that will work with Mint? I am having a hard time finding any that will work with more than one color.

All of a sudden I am getting a pop up when I boot my pc, when I open or close browsers etc that reads "open xdg-open?" It does have the question mark at the end too "?". What is this and how do I stop it from popping up all the time?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. phd21, thank you for those links, especially to linucity!

I want to buy a new laptop, when on sale, and switch the HDD to SDD if it does not have one, and run mint instead of windows. Looking for one with a good quality bright glossy screen 15.6 inch or wider, 1080p. Anyone know of a laptop that would fill my needs and not be too much of a headache to run ...

Sorry for the delay. Can't remember where exactly I read it but I did write down the fix incase it happens again. Solution: 1 Right click on Panel 2 Click "Add Applets to the Panel" 3 Scroll down and click on "Windows List" 4 Click "Add to Panel" button on the bottom Af...

I should have searched the forum first! Mods can delete this thread if you want.

When I have any program open or several programs open, they are not displaying anymore on the bottom of my screen on the panel. How do I get them to display again?

I used the auto install from HP and followed all the prompts and it looked successful but when I tried to print from the printer, it would not respond. Just to make sure, connected the printer with the same USB cable to my win7 pc and all worked fine. Any ideas? When I enter in the terminal dpkg -l ...

Hello Karl,

As always, thank you for your help. I was in a little bit of a bind and posted without searching, so I am very grateful for your response. I will give it a go and see if I can get it installed and my new printer working!

On Mint 17.2, how do I install the latest HPLIP version? I need version 3.15.6 minimum for my HP Printer and I only have 3.15.2

I'm looking for a mobile phone website emulator to see how a website would look on different mobile phones.
Anyone know of an accurate one? The ones I see don't seem to accurately reflect the way most mobile phones
reduce the website size in their phones.

I thought about Samba, so if I can't get the first one figured out, will try that, thanks again!

Read where?

Doesn't work for dualboot.
Both systems would have to be booted.

Tell us more.

Win-7 and Linux are on two separate PC's that I have.

Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to set up FileZilla so files can be transferred locally between a Linux and Windows PC? I've read that people are doing this, but now "how" to do it.

Ah, one of the many reasons I hate windows, but only for motherboards I'm pretty sure it needs reactivation. Yeah, I better have a look see into the bios, thanks!

I thought about that too but "technically" the i3 has 4 threads where the 3258 has only two, but it seems to make a difference as when I have tons of graphic programs open, Linux with my 3258 sometimes can't handle it whereas with the i3 in windows, it just never hangs ever and since I use...

I was hoping that too. Would be a bummer if I had to re-install everything. Not sure if win-7 will figure out the new cpu either. I'm at the point that 99.99999999999999% of what I do is now on my Linux machine, so I might as well give it a better CPU since I've mostly given up on windows except for...

I have mint 17.2 64bit. I was thinking of pulling my G3258 cpu from my linux machine and exchanging it with the i3-4360 cpu from my windows pc. Do I have to do any special with Linux, or will it adjust everything after boot up since it is a different cpu than when I installed linux

Hi Karichen, Yes, it did solve the problem for "this" week. But who knows how it will go with next weeks session :D For the last few months, I've been using sudo apt-get upgrade regularly and my system was working great until the livenow session this week so I'll try and remember to keep o...
