Well .. this is a "doh" moment .. went back and looked at the setting for RST .. I managed to disable the controller which would explain it .. so I switched to ACHI and that worked just fine. Mint 20 running hot straight and normal now

Trying to install this from live USB .. which I've done many times before on other machines. This boots and runs from live USB fine .. go to install and it starts .. but then says I only have 8G .. which is the USB. It's not seeing the internal SSD at all. The first time I tried this it said I had t...

So holidays got a bit busy .. but I'm still poking along with this. I feel I'm missing some switch or something as everything seems to be working great only I have no USB access which is annoying. As recommended I removed the repository version of VB .. did the apt purge .. went to Oracle got the la...

Sort of an update .. I have unloaded and re-installed Chromium .. updated it .. still the same issue. Printers work for FireFox and apps // like Libre office ... but when I do a Ctrl P in a browser window it says "Please set-up a printer" .. then goes to the preview page but that just sits...

I'm running Ulyana .. when it starts it says "2 printers added" .. both are network printers. I can test print pages to both just fine. I install chromium from the repository .. all is good there .. until I go to print. Dialog comes up saying "please install a printer" .. with a ...

So .. I ran Windows for like a long time .. was a Network admin .. starting using Linux .. and now am full time at home on desktop and 2 laptops .. So .. not an expert but not a beginner. I tell people how ez it is to use .. and the software to install .. and then I try Virtualbox ... which ok .. wa...

personally, i'd do it the easy way and just wipe windows with a fresh install of mint. after backing up anything of importance, of course. heck with all that resizing and updating grub and stuff! OK I agree .. I won't learn as much but I guess I like the idea of a clean install. So I started .. boo...

So I jumped on the Linux bandwagon .. after looking around installed Mint 19.1 on my old HP Spectre. My wife had been using that machineand had upgraded to a Dell ... I installed Mint alongside Windows as she was concerned about everything running on her new laptop OK .. wanted a fall back. OK those...

So set up a laptop with Mint 19.1 alongside of Windows .. that worked fine .. but as Windows use has been nil for months I'd like the space .. so .. whats my best option? 1. can I whack the Windows off and remount the space for Linux use -or- 2. should I just dump my HOME onto a usb and re build fro...

So I've been running Mint 18.2 on and old Thinkpad but that machine is sorta slow .. battery going .. I'm looking at picking up a newer laptop and saw this refurbed Dell .. it's a Lat 6430 with the following specs Processor: Intel Core i5 (i5-3340M) 2.70 GHz Memory: 8 GB Hard Drive: 128 GB SSD Displ...

See .. I should write this stuff down when I do it the first time. I remember having to disable secure boot when I was first setting this up. Loader was still there .. turned off secure boot and confirmed that and back in Mint. Thank you sir ... saved me a bunch of hunting

So I picked up a new battery for my HP Spectre x360 .... original was not lasting long .. I was running a dual boot .. Windows 10 / Mint 19.2 Cinn ... that was working fine. On boot up the menu would come up with Mint default .. on occasion somebody would re-boot into Windows to get at something .. ...

So let me start be saying i've worked in IT a long time .. have dabbled in linux but now would like to start getting more serious. My wife just traded up from her HP Spectre to a new Dell .. so I saw a decent machine that I could use. I have been running Mint on and old Thinkpad but that machine is ...

Hi guys .. so I'm experienced in Windows but sorta new to Linux ... I've taken on a project this year to replace any machine in my sphere of influence that is running Windows with Linux. The first low hanging fruit I'm targeting are the two older desktops that run Windows for the primary purpose of ...

Figured I'd actually do this .. most forums I don't but I hope to be a regular here. Not because I'm an expert but rather I'm a novice .. at least to Linux. I've recently retired and spent most of my life working with Windows .. well .. my IT works pre-dates Windows .. starting as a programmer on bi...

OK .. new to Linux ... pretty experienced in Windows ... really looking forward to running it. Messing with Ubuntu (Feity) on one dekstop and liking it so far ..., tried to load it (using live cd) on my Dell E1505 laptop. It blew up during he load on the WiFi card. A friend suggested I try Mint .. s...
