Thanks for all the reply, and I apologise for the prolonged response. @mick55 Thank you very much, but it's not exactly what I've been looking for. However, I remember using command back when the only mouse in my PC was a serial mouse, which didn't work directly back then. :D @Pilosopong Tasyo Thank...

Hello, I've been using LM9 64-bit for a couple of month or so in my notebook PC. It works fine, the MintMenu, I can use the combination of 'Ctrl' key and the Super ("Windows Start") key. Yesterday, I inadvertently erased the entry "Keyboard Shortcut" in MintMenu preference. I tri...

Search for it in Synaptic

Thanks Husse, I search in synaptics and find the exact name.

Can't wait to compile my first 'Hello, World'...

Which development packages should I install?

Pardon my noobness

Or, one solution I find quite easy is to add 'character palette' to your panel. Right click on some space on the panel, select add to panel, locate 'character palette' on the utilities group, and select 'add'. It will add kind of 'palette', and it has lots of characters to add. I usually add supersc...

Yes... My bad. But AFAIK icon set are part of theme, right?
So, how was it? Is it failed, cause if so, I don't know other way to install icons. I'm total noob here.

Or, as an alternative way to track dependencies, I recommend so called apt-web (http://labs.fajran.web.id/p/apt-web/). Just unfortunately it can only track packages that exist in http://kambing.vlsm.org mirror service.

Hi, I don't want to mess up either, but if not, then u only got the default theme, right? Anyway, I usually open mint menu, go to preference, select theme. On opened theme window, select customise, then move to the 'icon' tab. From that tab, select install, and point to the location where you keep y...

Hi, Is there anybody here having same problem with me? I can't simply press ctrl+a or even Edit>Select All to select all text in document. I use openoffice.org writer comes along with Celena. The temporary solution is ctrl+home and hold shift while scrolling down with Page down key, but it's not a c...

Hi, After zero-filled my HDD, I put Celena on it. I know, it's a bit outdated, but my friend only have that Celena iso on his disk, so now here I go. I have Epson Stylus C41SX, and yes, as openprinting said, it "works perfectly" [1]. Remembering the old Bianca day, I had to switch to XP, j...

Hi, dunno if this is the solution, but have you tried the "configure amarok" on settings menu? On settings window, check the "Show tray icon" in "General" section. Then save the changes or apply and it shall appear on tray (or task bar I used to say). Hope this helps.

Hi, finally I can 'steal' sometime to do some check. I did try LiveCD, and yes, it won't mount. Then I think it's because of the Bad Sector, so I did short test provided by seatools (some kind of HDD analyser, I think) and it agree with my opinion. Then I did the long test, I left to sleep and it di...

Hi, It was holiday, so I take my chance to play... in XP. All of a sudden, when I try to boot Bianca, I got stuck when booting and the message was (something like): Initialising GRUB stage 1.5 bla... bla... Error 25 and Mint won't boot. When I try Explore2fs, it refuses to open the / partition (wher...

Ok, there come the answer. So, I'd better wait 'til the power supply unit of my dream come (in order to maximise beryl :D), sorry lil' bit carried away. Okay, thanks for your attention scorp123, I have the Cassandra iso image in my HDD, so I'll do a clean install instead of dual booting Cas & Bi...

Hi, I'm back from the computer lab with a CD-RW filled with "Ubuntu 7.04 i386 Alternate CD" :D. And now, aside of any side effect mentioned in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgradesManual, I determined to upgrade to Feisty. If I do the steps, could it be called as "upgrading...

Hi, I'm back with resolution. I get nrg2iso, I use CDEmu, and I use mount and so it works (but also take more time to convert... *sigh*) but it's Okay.

So, this case shall be closed real soon

Okay, The *.nrg file is a data disc, so I suppose it could be done, and I got nrg2iso about an hour after writing the post. :wink: But I'm still wondering, if cdemu can mount *.nrg and *.bin and *.cue to a "virtual CD drive", then how can I really mount it? what are their filesystems to be...

I tried sudo mount /dev/cdemu0 /media/vcd and it says: mount: block device /dev/cdemu0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: you must specify the filesystem type so I tried sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdemu0 /media/vcd and it says: mount: block device /dev/cdemu0 is write-protected, mounting ...

You're safe here. Mint uses the Ubuntu repositories already and adds its own on top of that. Well, I heard from somewhere around, we can use Ubuntu DVD as well as Ubuntu Repository DVD to be added by adding it to source.list Can I use Ubuntu Studio as a repository too? I have very limited access to...

but e.g.ASUS does not have support for cable select as far as I know Well... 'luckily' I own one, the cheap P5PE-VM actually. And the progress now is: It remains unbootable. Thanks for everybody suggesting to put /home at other partition, cause now I'm ready to say 'goodbye' to Bianca and say 'hell...
