I sent an email to it as a test. the folder contents incremented by one but i still cannot access the contents I reset the yahoo password...

I want where are the colors defined in the XED editor so I can edit them or create new color scheme

I cannot install VUZE on mint 18 - why is this?

I was hoping after over 300 reads that someone might tell me something. I realise my request is trivial to some. Or Perhaps I have not made it clear... When I lock my screen or it times out, the logon box appears in the middle of the screen. I would like to change the co-ordinates that position this...

I have been using Mint at home now since Bianca. I am presently on mint 13 - cinnamon I know it is possible to change most things in Linux SO... Is it possible for me to alter the position of the unlock password box so it appears lower down on the screen? picky I know but I would like my wallpaper t...

Got IT! Husse! Many Many thanks in the end I did this 1. I added Driver "nvidia" to the section device in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (as root of course else it will not allow editing) 2. I added Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" to the same file and same section (In my case I th...

Thanks Husse - the problem HAS progressed but not yet solved. - Was able to add the driver as you suggested - in nvidia-settings optioons appeared to set to 1280x1024 60Hz - but I cannot make them permanent - I have ran gksudo nvidia-settings - saved and rebooted - settings lost - I ran a failsafe s...

:cry: :cry: :cry: This problem is still unsolved - I seem to have this problem with every mint version - anyway I have installed SuSE 11 on my other PC and in the end may have to make this my main OS for a while - I do not want to return to Windows just yet! Thanks for all the help you guys have giv...

I'm supposed to be a computer professional!! If I HAD done what Husse had suggested i'd be ok now! BUT I have the same problem on Felicia x64 and I cannot find the fix that worked before - i'm certain is was a from a post initiated from me BUT that is now academic! I cannot set my monitor to 1280x10...

Felicia - firefox 3.05 keeps stretching to the whole screen thereby denying me access to my gnome menu bars (top and bottom) - is it something I have done? Can it be fixed or are the firefox dimensions un governable. I have only just re-installed Mint 6 and it also happened in the old setup. Is this...

The way monitor resolutions in Mint seem to have altered in Felicia - I do not know how to fix my problem FIRST: the monitor is a X10D and Does support 1280x1024 (60mhz) SECOND: I am running the NVIDIA proprietary drivers (177) BUT I cannot change the settings - 1024x768 is the best I can get - now ...

Thanks Garda - I'll try it this weekend!

Early Sat morning - it worked fine! GREAT

Thanks Garda

I was using my motherboard built in sound when I installed Felicia - I have since added an X-fi sound card and now no sound - obviously I have to get the system to recognise it is there. How do I achieve that? here is an lspci listing - hope it helps: $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 8...

I reported this problem in daryna and it was never solved although some good guys tried to help on here - so I switched to another distro for a while then tried Elyssa - the problem seemed to be fixed - but after a couple of months its happened again - I use the administration> network option - I se...

Tony, Thanks for trying to help - I have done what you suggested - the thing is that daryna does not wait for a reboot to remove my settings from resolv.conf it usually does it within the hour. I have looked for a crontab entry but no avail. Something is resetting my DNS list back to the default (re...

PLEASE close this record - I have decided that after 12 months on Mint I need a new distro - so looking elsewhere- I will continue to investigate to find out why my DNS network settings are changed back and not setting permanently with the additions I make. It is driving me mad. I Have looked deep i...

Thanks 67GTA - my screen settings are ok now
