Who told you to uninstall the network manager??

For VPN, you need to install the additional package for the network manager. After the installation, you just add another connection for OpenVPN.

Any specs on the computer you are installing? Also, try burning the iso again, as it might be a bad burn. Next, jus to be sure it is bootable, boot the DVD to another computer and see it is good.

HHmm.. for overheating, the first thing I'll look out is to clean the fans and grill. No matter how you control/tweak the fans, if they can't properly circulate the air, you'll have temperature problems.

If it's not on the menu, it's developers probably hasn't updated it yet to support adding menu in Cinnamon. Some minimalist or old apps are like that. If the Pysolfc is installed you can try running it from the RUN command: Press Alt+F2 and then type "pysolfc" or from the terminal, just type "pysolf...

I assume firefox messages? Update your firefox to the latest one available from the software updater.

Hi everyone, I've just installed Mint on a new mSATA drive, so now I can use my internal HDD for data storage. I partitoned the data drive with one massive ext4 partition, and let the Disks utility handle the mounting. Unfortunately, it mounts it as a removable device. This is not good! Looking in ...

I'm not on Mint at the moment. Is "alsamixer" still installed on Mint?

Haven't used it that feature before since I don't need increase volume. However if this is about watching a movie you can try VLC which can amplify the volume upto 200%.

Do you have any add-ons installed for firefox?
Also, this error I think is common on heavily updating websites and happens when your browser is opened to long periods without you refreshing the page. I get this error often (not everyday but i certainly notice it).

Why did you use terminal? The GUI is not enough?

Have you tried to login the user that you created? From the terminal:

From what I've read so far about apt (dpkg), when it detects a change it is suppose to ask which file to keep. Does this mean that you could potentially lose modifications? Yes. It asks if what you want to keep, but it won't backup anything for you. With apt, do you need to open up another console ...
