Linux Mint Forums

I installed Mint 13 KDE a couple of weeks ago. It's like playing a Chopin piano piece on a grand piano! An unusual smooth feeling. Fabulous and a joy to use. Congrats to the team on this edition.

Thanks, works really well. Could do with a list of sites that Media Hint allows. Pandora and Hulu work great. Any more?

Thanks caribriz,that worked just fine. I was trying to install gnome recorder and now I can. Hope this advice from you is helpful to others too. George.

I have recently installed Mint 13 KDE and wish to enable the GnomePPP repository,however if I follow the instructions on the release notes I get the following after I remove the # from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/local-repository.list....The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write t...

I have solved this myself....http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=106645

I do not know if my problem is exactly the same but I managed to solve my black screen problem. I posted it here...http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=106645

Firstly, I was unable to use Mint 13 Maya (32 Bit) because I had to go via recovery mode to get to a working desktop otherwise I got a black screen shortly followed by a message that xorg couldn't find any screens. I tried hitting 'e' in the grub menu and adding nomodeset after the line that contain...

As you have been told in other posts, you are trying to run a modern OS on a rather old PC. You might be better looking at an older version of mint/linux or getting a newer machine, though many users still have graphics issues with new machines! How come my eight year old PC handles Mint 13 (last s...

I have this problem too. My computer is less than 1 year old but I cannot get Mint 13 Maya to run unless I use recovery. I posted here http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=105451 'Xorg problem in Maya 13 Lts' ...but have been unable to rectify the xorg problem. I read all the X.Org f...

Can someone try to help me with this please. I can get Ubuntu 12.04 and Pinguy's OS working fine and without any kind of problems and I really want Mint!!

Thanks, I tried the instruction from the link but it failed. If I pressed f10 after altering ro quiet splash etc it took me back to booting the OS which failed so I tried again and pressed f2 that took me to a grub screen of some kind so I typed in Xorg-configure cp/root... etc in there but that als...

I installed Maya a few days ago in a dedicated partition after using Mint 9 and earlier version for many glorious years! But now with 13 I am only able to install it in compatibility mode and then once installed have to gain access to the working OS via recovery mode otherwise I receive a message th...

Try this...
Menu/Administration/Systems Monitor/firefox. (may show 'sleeping')/end process.

(Solved) Thanks Habitual but it didn't work. I have solved this problem by selecting Options (top right in Googles main search window) and selecting to use iGoogle and then pasting it´s address in Firefox´s Options menu/general/home page. Yipee!

Tried that but it won't fix it permanently. Sign out and it's enabled again. If I remain signed in then ok but I do not want to sign in just for general searching. Thanks tho'

Predictive Text in Googles search bar is driving me around the bend. Does anyone know how to totally disable it... and I mean permanently. I hate it as much as I hate it on mobile phones. I am Mint 9, Firefox 3.6.17. There are some suggestions out there but none disable this ( lets show you selling ...

The country does make a difference...Quote :- "Don't see the Call phone feature? At this time it's only available for use in the United States. Please ensure that your Gmail interface language is set to English (US)." I use Skype (from Portugal) to phone land line phones so at the moment I...

Thanks benachie, Gives me even more confidence. Also I wish to connect my 17" monitor (currently on my old PC) to it. I assume it will fit ok. I mean, the picture size will be 1280x800 or above I presume. Sorry to sound ignorant in these matters but never bought a brand new box before!

Thanks JasonLG. I am confident that it does have USB bios. I thought that I had read somewhere, that Operating Systems required external transfers by Sata or the old flat data cable system. I tried 'Googling` but only came across netbook installs via flash drives and zero on external optical drives ...
