Re: Looking for a way to access my MYSQL db on my windows partition

Howdy - I've got a dual boot also and was thinking of using a USB connected external drive for my database. I see you had success, so maybe I can? I'm petrified of messing up my database, but it would be so sweet to be able to access with Windows and Linux. Does anyone have experience with moving a ...

Re: Webform on Submit asks to open php file

After too much fussing with this form, the problem had something to do with another version of Apache running and ignoring that error kept my form from working. To clear that up, I had to do the following: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart Form works. Lesson: don't ignore e...

Webform on Submit asks to open php file

I have a simple MySQL database. I can access it in phpMyAdmin (4.6.6). I want to make it easy for my kids to add records to the database. I've gotten way behind and could use their help. I created a webform (Firefox 82.0.2 (64-bit)) that with php would insert a record into the database. (Apache/2.4....

Re: Fresh MySQL install - 5.7 root password?

Thank you so much. Your solution was exactly what I needed. I've been trying to create a database for a year - but couldn't get past this password problem. I'd almost given up. I'm finally able to create the tables. Thank you so much. Sorry this took so long to answer, there were a few issues that p...

Re: Eclipse and NetBeans Don't Work on Linux Mint 19

I didn't realize until today that NetBeans wasn't working. I just assumed that it would because it seemed to install just fine.

Re: Advice for adding Windows 10 partition

Something went wrong when I backed up everything overnight and my hard drive had been overwritten until it was full. I ended up just pulling essential files from it and then adding Win 10 and then Linux. I got some tips from this article: https://itsfoss.com/guide-install-linux-mint-16-dual-boot-win...

Re: Advice for adding Windows 10 partition

Thanks so much! I'll start by creating a backup of everything with Aptik (thanks, AZgl1500). Then either wipe it all clean, install Windows then Mint, or move Linux over and install Windows. I'm not sure which would be easiest, but I'm leaning towards shrinking the Linux partition a bit and just add...

[SOLVED]Advice for adding Windows 10 partition

I'm happy with Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon. I'm getting used to using great open source programs: Inkscape, LibreOffice, etc. But I'm a frustrated gamer and C# programmer. After trying a bunch of different ways to get things to work on Mint, I've decided to set up a Windows 10 partition for the games and...

I upgraded to 19 over the weekend and had success loading Battle.net - so I've had progress. I also added a bunch of dlls via winetricks. I previously had only added a couple. After I installed WoW - "Game Initialization Failed!" I've read that running it in a 32-bit version might make a d...

Thanks, Flemur!

I ran
sudo apt-get --fix-broken install
And now I have this Eula:

What am I supposed to do with it? I'd accept it, but I'm not sure how.

Best of luck. Just search for codeweavers Crossover Linux. I'm taking a look at this Crossover product. Th...

Re: Recommended Digital Tablet for 18.3 Cinnamon

Artgirl - How do you have the buttons on your stylus set?
I'm thinking the defaults (whatever they are) aren't working for me.
I'm just looking for suggestions from someone that regularly uses their tablet.
Thanks!

That list of differences is good. I've been trying to figure out how to create gradients, and it looks like that's not available in Inkscape.

Re: Recommended Digital Tablet for 18.3 Cinnamon

I had my son try to use my tablet on his computer and he said the tablet worked but he couldn't get the stylus to work.
Which jogged my brain. Was the stylus/pen charged?
The stylus/pen is now charged and working.
I should have checked that first.
Thank you for your help, ArtGirl!
