Linux Mint Forums

Hi, After a recent crash I have reinstalled Mint back onto my computer, however I am having issues with other software, I have downloaded a couple of programs (Open Office and Tor), after going through the menus I have been unable to locate them and have saved them to my downloads folder, I also un...

Odd. I was under the impression you had both installed into the same storage drive. Or perhaps you did, and just chose to also nuke one of the drives and install the other os world into it without nuking the 1st one first. If you had already installed LM into a separate drive than Windows, there's n...

Hey, I'm trying to dual boot Mint and Windows, but Grub won't boot either of them. I made a bootable USB with Windows on it, and deleted Grub (I think) and it still took me to the grub recovery menu. Now when I try to boot Mint, this happens (see image). Can anyone help? Thanks! https://cdn.discord...

Mint 19.3 Cinnamon I want to place on the desktop a shortcut link pointing to a directory in my home directory. Using the file manager gui when I right click on that directory in the home directory I don't see the "make link" that I thought is supposed to be there. Same thing with trying to make a ...

I don't think this is the first time the source code for XP was leaked. Regardless, ah...why should we care again? Read the article. It's a big deal. Not to a person like me who has 1. Moved completely away from Windows dependency. 2. Has no reason to ever use XP let alone any other version ever ag...

Hi guys, i tried using Linux and unfortunately there are some crucial features that are missing and i finally decided to move back to windows, i just downloaded the iso file and wrote it in my freshly formatted usb stick but when i select the usb drive as option from boot menu it says "no bootable ...

I'll try to keep this short. I installed Linux Mint and like it but I don't like all the updates. It's like having Windows again. So I dowloaded a LMDE4 image and installed it on another computer. All good! However, on my Lenovo ideapad which currently has Linux Mint installed, it boots up the imag...

Loading Mint 20 from DVD, I can see that it is loading something because the light on DVD drive running, when I'm sure it is finished all I have on the screen is a complete blank black screen! I wish I could elaborate more but that is it, nothing left to add. Upton -- When you said loading from dvd...

Tom's Hardware: Windows XP Source Code Reportedly Leaked, Posted to 4chan (Updated)

I don't think this is the first time the source code for XP was leaked. Regardless, ah...why should we care again?

I'm not a complete noob when it comes to computers, just with Linux. And from searching for answers, I find that there is a basic level of understanding that a lot of these threads ASSUME people have. It's just not so. The way I see it, newbies assume that everyone knows that they are newbies... :l...

To all, Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I seem to have a few things conquered (I now have links to Google and LibreOffice Writer in my taskbar). Unfortunately, they are far over on the left, mixed in with the logos for LM, Firefox, etc, and I cannot move them. On my desktop, ...

-- Either way daipson. It's just another reminder the Linux Mint teams listen to their end users' feedback and still are working to always fix and improve the experience and why I'm still thrilled to be a part of it.

Motoryzen This puzzled me: if you choose " restart now" or whatever restart option it is at the end of the install wizard..you have to time it PERFECTLY as to when the split moment that linux live desktop is fully shut down and the pc has JUST began re-powering back up before or right at you remove...

I'm on an ASUS, I tried F2 and F12, only the former brings me to the BIOS. F12 does nothing. I'm running out of ideas :( I've enabled legacy mode. Is there a way to burn the USB key so that it isn't UEFI? -- A consistent way I've done from within Windows to create a legacy mode compatible OOTB linu...

I'm brand new to linux. I've got linux mint installed, all drivers are installed. My issu is I have a 1440p monitor and a 4k monitor. My 4k monitor is running at full 4k so everything looks very small, when I try to scale, either using hi-DPI or by using the drop-down box and scaling from there, it...

I am binge watching Judge Judy. I just cant get enough of this fiery judge who has a wicked tongue and a truth radar. She can sense if someone is lying to her. Just for clarity, Judge Judy is a televised court, handling small court cases like dog bites and unpaid loans etc. Nothing really serious.....

The USB ISO "live session" stick is intended for taking Linux Mint out for a test drive BEFORE you ever try to install it on your computer. It was not designed "out of the box" to download "huge applications", programs etc. to the USB, which can also be limited as to what you try to download and tr...

--After the sheer disrespect microsoft ( notice how I refuse to capitalize that word) has done to so many over the decades, to the best of my ability I refuse to use anything if at all possible they made and/or were directly involved in creating . Especially since they've been data mining their user...

That was simple LOL I had seen that before but when I clicked on the upper arrow to eject, I did not hear the sound and did not see any message " It's safe to remove the device" so I wasn't sure. So I guess it works and problem solved. -- Awesome. Happy to read that. You may want to mark your origi...

As a "Newbie" I have been hesitant to ask questions in fear of ridicule, however, this forum has made me feel welcome, and I truly believe "there are NO stupid questions" Not asking the question is what is the bad part. I have to say thank you to all that have let light shine on this old Commodore6...
