Issue fixed.
Had to do a apt purge nvidia*
Then disable the nouveau kernel and reinstall drivers

I am getting this error on my F@H client that libOpenCL.so & libCuda.so are not detected.
But the nVidia drivers are installed and nvidia-settings does not mention any problem.

I'm I missing a package or is this a conflict issue with my GPUs?

I've never had any issue with getting a Broadcom driver to load after installing it. The question is: which driver? That blog isn;t all that good ... you NEED to get the PCI ID with Broadcom cards and they don't mention that ... plus the article is from 2013. There's very little backwards compatibi...

I was working on this issue for a while, finally finding a solution which linked to this page http://linuxg.net/how-to-fix-broadcom-bcm4311-wireless-driver-on-ubuntu-and-linux-mint/ I removed and purged bcmwl-kernel-source Used the b43-installer mentioned on another guide. My main issue is how can I...

That's a WIndows box, it's probably formatted ntfs, Do NOT EVER use Linux tools for fixing ntfs drives (and I'd be reluctant to use the on other Windows formatted disks too)

While it is a windows machine, it is a Windows 9x machine so the hard drive is most likely formatted as FAT32.

I'd look at any of clonezilla, redo, macrium reflect, acronis to try and take an image. Assume you have enough USB ports to copy to a thumb drive. I do have Acronis True Image Home 2011 as a bootable DVD. But it may not boot on a Windows 98 machine where linux has a better chance, which is why I am...

A family relative has this really old Windows 98 laptop which has some accounting software that they need and I suspect the hard drive is dying as the laptop was coming up with please insert boot disk for a while until the drive decided to load Windows 98. The drive is a 4GB IDE they also have anoth...

I am a linux nub as well but I take it you have gone to Start>Control Center>Preferred Applications And set the "Web" to Google Chrome or Opera. If so, I can replicate your issue when I try to open a .HTM file. It keeps opening firefox. The only way I can get it to change is if I right click the fil...

Is their a way I can install the base firefox which does not have all the mint stuff added?

The software center gives me the current version which is what was preinstalled.

when a string of updates screwed up every single one of them. :lol: Have you heard? The 1809 January release seems to have an issue with it disabling the admin account on computers that have it enabled by the user. To translate into linux it would be like an update preventing you from using the log...

Sorry. I meant no offense. I should have said "some less-technical Windows users."

I know, but I am one of those select few freaks that knows how to use a windows computer safely without an anti malware protecting them.

Windows users also set themselves up for trouble by disabling UAC without understanding what it does. So then everything they run can potentially have admin privileges.

I know what I does, I disabled it without running antimalware as I hate being questioned about my actions.

Theoritically, you only need only the 2nd command, removing the lists entirely, as such will get re-generated properly via the followed apt update (ie. without even having to make a back-up of them). But as I haven't used Debian since many yrs now, i thought of asking you to take a more conservativ...

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* && sudo apt-get update If nada, make a backup of the /var/lib/apt/lists/ to be on the safe side first, and: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* && sudo apt-get update This is what I got for those commands. grayfox@grayfox:~$ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* && sudo...

When mint update tries to look for updates it fails with the following message "Could not download all repository indexes ", This started happening since the new year. I have also tried running sudo apt-get update. System time is correct. I have changed software source servers in case the ones I was...

So what is happening? Are programs being terminated? Are you getting a pop up window that asks you to "Force Shutdown" like below? https://www.soft32.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Force-Shutdown.png You can try running this command in the command prompt which will FORCE a shutdown immediately....

I may be a crazy reckless freak but I do not run an anti malware on my windows PC and have not had any issues in over 3 years. I just follow a strict regiment where I do not click on random links, I download software from the publishers site, I do not torrent from torrent sites, I run a strict pop u...

I am a LMDE nub but I would assume you're talking about this function. Step 1: Right click task bar and click on + Add Applet Screenshot from 2018-12-26 16-00-01.png Step 2: Click on the downloads button in the applets window & Type in "Draw" in the search box Screenshot from 2018-12-26 16-00-20.png...

I am a LMDE newbie but the system doesn't feel slow to me. I am using a HP Probook 6470b that has a 120GB SSD installed. This is off a clean install that is up to date. oot@grayfox:~# free -h -t total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7.7G 671M 6.2G 88M 852M 6.7G Swap: 0B 0B 0B Total: 7.7G ...

You're right.

I set the max limit to 2.0 since I run Win 7 on my gaming rig and it doesn't support SMB3.0
