Linux Mint Forums

EmaRsk, we don't correct other people's spelling here unless it makes things unclear (spelling errors in names of packages and such). After all, this is an international forum, and for many of us, that means that we're using a foreign language, like I'm doing now. It's hard enough as it is, even wi...

Its possible , but its not automatic. Due to some major changes between the two. I have done it both ways. I think its honestly easier jsut to install and keep your existing home directory so you don't loose your data and then reinstall your applications. I suggest making a backup of your home befor...

seems more prudent to replace wifi card, IF it works as replacing the motherboard(etc) would be more costly than a wifi. In fact i may still be able to return the wifi card. Is there a way to tell which other network adapters work out of the box with linux? I definitely appreciate everyone's help h...

Thanks for the encouraging words. In my case, the situation is a little more complicated. My PC has two separate hard drives- originally came with Microsoft Vista and several years ago I added a second HD with the Windows 7 OS. Since we abandoned Vista at that time, I wanted to discard it and repla...

This is what I plan to do: Install the new hard drive in place of the old Vista drive. Connect the flash drive to the PC. Boot up the PC. I expect to see the initial black screen asking me to choose which OS I want- Windows 7 or "unknown" (the new drive) I'll select the new drive and I'm expecting ...

I provide the services you describe locally to people in actually a pretty small county. Were out their, I would check on craigslist for your area if any of them mention servicing Linux. As all my adds have Linux listed as one of the operating systems supported. Yes, I do get work from it and actual...

well image you posted of the xserver error I am wondering if your user permission got goofed up?

Try sudo startx, but if it loads up your not going to want to use it like that. This just rules out a few things.

whats the error message it gives you when you do startx?

If it freezes again don't do a hard reset. Press and hold down the "ALT + SYSRQ" and type "R E I S U B" That will do a proper reboot.

uninstall from software manager and try installing through terminal to see if any errors, because that is really really wierd.

About every 3+ hours and always when the system is idle. I will come back to it completely frozen. Screens still displaying the last images. Control alt f1 dont even work.

Welcome aboard Raven. If need any help don't hesitate to ask =).

So I got on order a 2600x Processor. I was wondering if the kernel 4.15 is enough or are their reasons to install a newer version of the kernel. (example 4.15 does not fully support the processor.) I figure some other people have probably already messed with this so figured I would ask. I know the 1...

Are you trying to install Mint on a RAID volume? If so, then you're likely going to want to get some type of hardware/pseudo-hardware RAID - - either via BIOS or an add-on card. MDADM is a software RAID, and the RAID is not actually assembled until partway through the boot sequence. The default beh...

I've not only been stuck on satellite internet,but for years use to install them. What limit is excede offering you. As generally its like 30gBs max anyways =(. I guess maybe they have upped them sense I last looked. Generally anymore their are internet services where you point an AP to a tower to ...

Though we have unlimited data, w...
