Yes, it works but only for a while. I left my monitor "on" (sleep) when I shutdown my laptop. This reoccurrence may have been related to another kernel upgrade. Since plugging into the DVD "fixes" the monitor, it must be doing something that Linux is not. Too bad there is not a H...

Just happened again! The cure was to plug the Samsung monitor into a cheap DVD player, then the laptop. Plugging into a Raspberry pi did not help. Plugging the TV into the laptop worked, but did not restore the monitor to working! This must be some kind of init that the DVD does that linux does not.

Sounds like a "firmware" problem in Samsung. I wonder if there is an update path? If not, short sighted by Samsung.

Yes, input: auto,vga, hdmi, A very touchy "touch" switch, a possibility, Even though, I thought I did not touch it. But one never knows. In the pass I tried that to fix it, to no avail. Unless you want to look for more. I am ready to "close it"

SYtem info show 5.14.0-1022 oem

Desktop is linux mint green, cursor does not show, but moves off main screen. System: Kernel: 5.13.0-28-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A ...

Connected to DVD player, display works fine. Note: Embedded programmer since 1976! Kernel: 5.13.0-28-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A D...

I moved my USB drive from windows to Linux, copy a large number of video files, then moved it back to windows. It was fragmented. There was a pattern to it. It seemed that data was spread out every xx? many blocks and free space in between. Is this due to linux ntfs driver? I have a screen capture o...

Compaq 4205US w/ Broadcom 4306/3 for wireless and a Realtek for wired. Linux Mint 10 installed on HD. Want to donate this laptop to a "working poor" family. Neither wired or wireless works, but both work fine on another Mint laptop. Trying to install Broadcom diver manually, no luck so far...

I upgrade to mint 9 (gnome) and after trying it, I weep and wail until I get my KDE back!

NOT rhetorical. Usually on both windows and Linux, When I restart FF, it will install the new version then bring up FF. Which is what it did after the restart. I've never had to restart to upgrade FF before. I think something flacky was going on. I was having trouble with keys not responding at time...

Firefox starts off-screen, if I move it on screen, blank window
I rebooted and the install finished!
All is well. But WHY, did I have to reboot.

in File:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
replaced
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto
with
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=hp

Headphones work!

I want to scan in a paper form and turn it into a PDF form, so I can fill it out, like I was using a typewriter.
It looks like a windows software from Nuance, PDF Converter Professional 6, does this. Is there a Linux GPL that does this?
I tried PDFedit, but could not get it to work, so far.

I've been running Mint since 6. I wanted to upgrade to Mint 8, tired of waiting for KDE 8, so I did Gnome. All went well so far. I installed the binary video. HOWEVER, like once before the headphone jack does not cut out the speakers or activate the headphones! This was most embarrassing as I was do...

I have yet to get my Laptop to totally work on Linux. According to web searches, I need to set BIOS options when booting. Different sites say different things. Could the Installer detect my laptop type and preset the correct BIOS setting? I have little confidence in my choosing the correct options, ...

The questions is will the new version of madwifi be in a future version soon?
Ubuntu 8.04 is scheduled for April 24, 2008. Mint (??)

I am using (2weeks) a Compaq F756NR with a 5007 card.
The other problem is I can't get graphics except with vesa driver, and therefore can't use VGA connector?

I have not kept up, sorry! Have you abandoned KDE? I only do KDE.
