The above information seems to say that 1. your USB is /dev/sdb and it is msdos vfat format 2. your HDD is /dev/sda, is GPT format and has vfat on /dev/sda which is usually the bios-boot partition for UEFI. If my reading is correct... then here are the first method to try :::: Use the boot-repair. ...

Just to clarify my original post. The message I referred to is coming up when I use GParted not during boot. /dev/sdb contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a pro...

Actually, spoke too soon.

It does not retain the setting and the touchpad turns itself back on again after a while.

Thanks for that, works a treat.

Much appreciated

Thanks

Crash on resuming from suspend.

Dell Vostro 1700.

Being a newbie I have no idea if the error is written to a file.

Disable touchpad is now missing from mouse options.

Not a bug as such but it was a really useful feature.

I am using Opera at the moment but have tried importing them into Firefox as well with the same problem.

I just used the export to html option in windows and saved that. And in Mint I used the import option.

Hi, I have recently converted from windows to Mint and everything has gone without a hitch. I am very impressed and my only complaint is that I did not do it sooner :) One thing that does have me stumped though is when I import bookmarks into the browser. Everything imports fine but every link in th...
