What is the latest on LMDE3?

I have recently purchased a BrennanB2 (www.brennan.co.uk) and I had anticipated transferring .mp3 music files from desktop computers to the storage on the BrennanB2.

The BrennanB2 has a Bluetoooth dongle fitted.

How can I make it work?

I suspect that the fundamental cause of the failure was an incomplete upgrade, some of the sources could not be reached. I have reloaded a fresh copy of the .iso and updated/upgraded before I did any thing else. The .iso appears to be about six months old and judging by the need for some 280 updates...

syndaemon: no process found The second line is: mdm[3095]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_free: assertion 'key_file !=NULL' failed. [code] [/code] This is from a recent new installation from 'latest' .iso. ( 201503). Having diligently installed all of the extras I was presented with a large update, pres...

It would appear that the system that I normally use is producing erroneus results.

When I go back to my original LMDE and format the usb stick and load the iso with mint software it all works.

Presently loading LMDE2 Betsy.

Thanks

This may be a repeat! The code used to create the usb stick is the code used in your link. The ./prefix to the .iso file name ensures that the file is only taken from the location where the console is located. Does the statement; "The LMDE ISOs and the live installer use a different structure than t...

Some time ago the following instructions were proposed to create a bootable usb stick linux Iso # dd if=./lmde-2-201503-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdc1 oflag=direct bs=1048576 When I use it now I receive an error message; isolinux.bin missing or corrupt I note that in the download section it mention...

Pst - try Solydk.

Try http://www.tinygreenpc.com/.

Might have the wrong label but I think you will find that they are the same.
I bought a FitPC3 (MintBox) and fitted a ssd. I am sure it should be an ssd.

No imports to worry about.

Happy hunting,

My experience with update 7 was horrendous. Two computers wiped out. Two new installs from 201303 successful wihout any additions. From this I can only deduce that the additional software that I was using upset update7. Yes there are packages from KDE3.5 but they all came from Debian Repositories. I...

Thanks to you both.
Two updates failed miserably so, having used all of my broadband allocation, put in a new iso and updated those. The iso has the correct sources list!

Rolling updates are a joke for me.

martin welsh

Please may I have a copy of the correct 'sources.list' to use for Update 7. My existing lists have produced a rider to the Update Pack Info "Your system is pointing to the 'Linux Mint Debian Incoming' repository. This is only recommend(ed) for experienced users." This statement definitely excludes m...

I am really an oldie newbie, so please be patient. Do you remember the last catastrophe with updates? They changed the system and they were so successful the I did not bother to preserve my latest data this time! Sod's law it crashed - big time. The operation went smoothly and the first clues were w...

No reason why you should not have as many installations as you want each on separate partitions. To get different /homes use different user names - if your present 'defective' system uses /home/joeblogs then for another installation call the user 'jacksprat' and you will get /home/jacksprat. When mo...

I thought I was following Testing.
It just shows how wrong you can be.

(No changes made to the repositories from the original download!)

Are there any plans available for updating Libre Office Suite?

I note that version 4 is in the wild.

I enclose details of 'group extracts'. The first two instances are with martin as a 'standard' user and the second two cases are with martin as an administrator. martin@linux ~ $ grep martin /etc/group martin:x:1000:martin vboxusers:x:125:martin martin@linux ~ $ grep sudo /etc/group sudo:x:27: marti...

I loaded Cinnamon when a choice was presented. It is on the cards that ever since I have just used what comes up when you press the 'go' button. Going back and trying some alternatives I may be using Gnome classic. The malfunctions are still present. I like the desktop that I am using. martin welsh

As a user - groups produces martin and vboxusers.
As root (su root) - root.

Normally I tend to use su root rather than sudo in the console. It may be history but I have had hiccups with sudo in the past so perhaps I use su root unnecessarily.
