Linux Mint Forums

Gotta say, there are a lot of opinions being thrown around here. Remember that just because something doesn't work well for you doesn't mean that's the case for everyone else. I get along just fine with my phone and actually enjoy using it for tasks other than phone calls. I especially appreciate th...

I ran into a similar situation with 19.3 and didn't have this problem with 19.2 on a Macbook Air (2015 model) with UEFI and an SSD. Per Clem's suggestion I added noapic as a kernel boot option and that made the SSD available for installation.

Seems like the best approach would be to run two front-ends to the forum? Perhaps upon first visit the user is presented with two options, one for the current design and another option for a newer modern design. I'm all for a fresh coat of paint and new features as long as it doesn't involve megabyt...

Not sure if anyone else ran into this issue but this is the first release where after successfully installing the system, I rebooted and it dropped to initramfs. Thanks to Clem's suggestion, I added "noapic" as a kernel boot option and that fixed it. I updated grub and everything seems to be working...

I had a similar experience. I have an iMac but wasn't quite happy with it. I found Ubuntu and bought a Dell Inspiron 1420n with Ubuntu pre-installed. I now use the Xfce version of Mint on all of my computers.

HowTo: Using Gigolo to Mount Remote Samba Shares: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=52144

Ah! It was in bookmarks...doh! You're right, I did find that helpful. Thanks!

First off, I guess, is it better to use pyNeighborhood or Gigolo for this task? pyNeighborhood is working for me right now but maybe Gigolo offers more? This is probably simple, but how can I connect to my external network hard drive with either Gigolo or pyNeighborhood when I start my computer? Tha...

Welcome aboard! It's awesome isn't it? I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have - feel free to send me a PM.

Yep, that would be smart thing to do.:oops: In fact, as often as I add/change/reinstall distros it's pretty silly of me not to have done so by now. One question however, (pardon my noobiness-it's only been about 4 months since I blew windoze off.) i noticed that Xfce or Thunar, cannot see the other...

Xfce in Mint (especially Mint 7) has been lots faster than Gnome on my old hand-me-down machine. It's kinda sorta like what "Gnome Lite" would be if there was such a thing. I tried a bunch of different DEs (Openbox, LXDE, KDE, Gnome, and Xfce) before choosing a favorite. For me Xfce is the right ba...

I pretty much stick to anything Samuel Adams these days. The Blackberry Witbier is awesome but I really look forward to the Octoberfest in the fall season.

I've been getting into dubstep a lot lately. "Prituri Se Planinata" by Stellamara (NiT GriT Remix) is a good one.

I don't know of an app that does that but http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php is nifty. It saves the output as .wav.

I guess the only reason why I leave mine on is because CrashPlan backs up my shtuff at night. I suppose I could change that or it would be nice to have it suspend my computer after it's done.

I'm gonna go with Chromium.

I generally leave mine on 24/7 unless the power goes out (like last night). I have it set to lock screen when the laptop is closed.

$ uptime
16:07:18 up 18:18, 2 users, load average: 0.87, 0.94, 0.97

I also own a TonidoPlug which is definitely on 24/7 so that I can access it remotely.

Well today I reformated my hard drive and put Ubuntu 9.04 on it and got rid of mint i have joined a ubuntu forums and this will be my last log in good bye linux mint forums i will never forget you :cry: You'll be back. The grass is not much greener on the other side...in fact it's literally greener...

You can also use Google to search the forums:

I think this link might help you:

EDIT: Whoops, I see vrkalak suggested the link above. My bad.

Great job, merlwiz! The XFCE edition of Mint 9 is the best distro that I have come across. I'm diggin' the default menu and control center. Thanks to you and the Mint gang for all of your efforts.

I seem to be having problems viewing all of my files in Nautilus.
