Linux Mint Forums

I'm not picking up any wireless networks on my Eee PC while using LMDE. Wired internet works just fine. I've tried installing the packages firmware-b43-installer and broadcom-sta with no changes. I tried using the windows network driver tool to install the windows driver from asus.com and it tells m...

I have two monitors connected right now. I'd prefer to do most of my work on the larger monitor and move stuff to the smaller monitor when I need to. My GNOME panel shows up on the larger monitor exactly how I want to to be and when I launch programs from there they show up on the larger monitor. Wh...

http://www.jejik.com/articles/2008/10/how_to_properly_start_compiz_in_gnome/ In virtually every compiz tutorial you read on the net you will find the following advice on starting compiz when you log in: Open System -> Preferences -> Sessions and add “compiz --replace” to the startup programs list. T...

I guess I asked for help too soon. After a reboot it started working.

Installed LMDE after a bit of a hiatus from Linux. I changed my sources to point to debian.linuxmint.com instead of debian.org and installed the update to Update Manager. Now I have a big list of updates to install. When I click install a window pops up showing a list of additional packages that wil...

Yeah I saw those posts already. Quite informative if you're doing a single boot but I just couldn't figure out how to translate that into a dual boot system. I know windows can be pretty picky about where it is on the disk. I bookmarked the thread on installing to a USB drive but I don't think that'...

Yikes. This is a lot trickier to dual boot than Mint 10. I could have sworn the last version of LMDE was a little more automated than this. Here is what I have so far. Could someone take a look and let me know if I'm right? I've seen mention of a /boot partition but I'm not sure where that would go ...

Thanks. It somehow got set to visualisation-logo.png

The icon next to Menu is now sort of a black sun instead of the Mint leaf. Any idea how to fix this?
One other thing that isn't related. I noticed now that the splash screen that comes up on log in has a debian background instead of Mint.

Is there some way to get the cool new toys from Mint 10 in LMDE?
EDIT: Just discovered the Romeo repository. I'm guessing that's it.

Very nice. I'm having issues with Compiz not working though. I'm running LM10 as a guest in Virtualbox 3.2.10. I have installed the Guest Additions and enabled 3D in the settings and it's still not working. Any advice? I had no problems getting it to work in LM9. Try running compiz --replace in ter...

I found a much better way to accomplish what I was trying to do by following this guide but I'm still curious how to run stuff on startup.

I'm trying to get Compiz working on my machine. Every time I start up I don't have all the cool compiz effects like wobbly windows and the desktop cube until I do compiz --replace or reload it with compiz fusion icon. I found this script but I'm having trouble getting it to run on boot. I saved it a...

Yeah, I got that. Thanks. The website was just sort of unclear.

Thanks, I might try that. I could not for the life of me figure out where to download smxi.

I'm trying to install the drivers from nvidia's website and it complains that xserver is still running. I did some poking around and found reference to using or yet neither of these work.

What's the current way of doing this?

Ah, I see. I was changing it in hosts but not hostname. There were actually fewer problems than I expected. Aside from the shortcuts I mentioned, sudo gedit would still run gedit with permissions after complaining and other programs like firefox ran just fine.

I noticed today that I could no longer seem to open some programs with their shortcuts that required super user like Synaptic Package Manager or right clicking a file and opening as an administrator (I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this right, excuse my noobness). I also noticed every time I used sudo ...

So it is. Thanks! At least I got practice for compiling future programs.

There doesn't appear to be a configure or make install script in this program.
