Re: Linux Mint 17 "Qiana" Cinnamon is out!
In this thread on Qiana Mate RC , which has since been locked, several of us were wondering how to deal with the Level 5 Security Updates. The Update Manager says Level 5 updates are dangerous packages that can effect stability, but on the other hand, they are Security updates. I don't know whether...

Re: Trying to install k9copy
I hope this isn't considered hijacking, but I updated my LMDE with the Debian repositories before I read that I should wait until upgrade pack 3 comes out. This made it difficult to install k9copy when I pointed my repositories to LMDE. I solved this by temporarily pointing my security and multimedi...

Re: recent update about boot dependencies???
The culprit is: sysv-rc and three other packages "This package provides support for the System-V like system for booting, changing runlevels, and shutting down, configured through symbolic links in /etc/rc?.d/." I haven't heard any reviews of this at all, but I haven't actively been search...

Re: Desktop won't start on Helena LiveCD/DVD
Well, here's something rather odd - I never thought that changing my old monitor - a ViewSonic PF790 Color Monitor (CRT) - with a new NEC MultiSync EA231WMi monitor (LCD) would get rid of the flashing, no loading X problem, but it has! :? Now Helena boots on my old Dell as well... go figure... My sy...

See info here for getting firewire up and running with Mint 7 and kino:

Are you able to control which drive boots up with the computer bios or a bootup menu (my Dell has this feature)? I do this because I get a Grub loading Error 2 message if I don't. It's a hassle but it works for me (maybe I'll post for help later - I almost ruined my NTFS filesystem trying to fix Gru...

Re: Not including multimedia codecs by default in Mint8
