Linux Mint Forums

I had same problem in a computer. I could not solve it. Somebody told me, it is an 'infinite loop' while loading a hardware.

Welcome dear mango.

I am also using mint. But my ISP does not supply linux-friendly wimax modem; so I am still using windows for internet.
Hope, seowon-swu3400an will run on linux someday.

Thank you DataMan.

I know spreadsheet-like programs can create charts from csv files, but these are not so comfortable.

(may be I have to use amibroker via wine )

Hi friends! Recently I left windows and started using linux mint. I was using 'amibroker' for technical analysis charting at windows platform, but now I want to use a linux based free software. But don't know which one will be good for me. :? I found several softwares in the web, but do not know whi...

Thanks for sharing this nice thing.
I was looking for such thing.

You can disable services that you do not use or use only rarely... e.g. I usually disable printing and bluetooth. You can do this using the 'sysv-rc-conf' command line tool. If you don't know what a service is from the name, just search on google or for the package in synaptic and it will tell you....

Hi all, I am happily using fluxbox in a slow computer. It will be nice to speed up more, because sometimes it takes 'unusually longer time' to open a file / program. Please advise me, how to speed up fluxbox (linux mint 8 fluxbox CE). increase the size of swap partition? (I can do it, I have some di...

Change it to Mouse2 and it will be middle-click instead of right click. If you have more buttons on your mouse, you can pick one of those. m a r EDIT: you could also add a modifier button -- Mod1 Mouse3 would be the ALT button + right-click. Here is a recent page explaining. That page also suggests...

Try adding: OnToolbar Mouse3 :rootMenu to your ~/.fluxbox/keys file. Reload config or restart fluxbox. Right-click anywhere on the toolbar will show the menu. Thanks a lot. It works. But unfortunately it over-works! If I right-click on any taskbar icon, root menu pops up, so how can I use these ico...

Wow! Now I am fully satisfied. I did according to your direction. Now I can browse files of ntfs and ext4 using nautilus via menu, without harming the desktop. So nice of you, dear viking777. Thanks a lot. (I did not know what is " /~/.fluxbox/menu ". Where is the folder named ~ Then I sea...

Look at a package called idesk. It enables you to have desktop icons in Fluxbox. There are instructions in the Fluxbox wiki. I really can't give you much more information here as I never use desktop icons (even in Gnome and KDE). Thanks kendall. I was looking for such a package. Actually I need 'me...

Update: dear viking777, Your procedure worked! Thanks a lot. I entered 'killall nautilus' in terminal, then I got the desktop back. Then I entered 'nautilus --no-desktop' , then nautilus opened without harming the desktop. If I open nautilus via menu, it kills the desktop. from now on, I will open n...

Yes I was browsing files (of ntfs partition) with nautilus. I can not browse these with thunar. Though I mounted these partitions. Now, I will install nautilus again and enter this code in terminal: ''nautilus --no-desktop''. I will inform you tomorrow about the result. (Now it is bed time here). Th...

thanks a lot dear viking777.

now I am free from nautilus, got the menu back. But one problem still there, I can't browse files of ntfs partitions using thunar.

thanks. but how can i find the thunar? there is no 'menu' ! oh, got it. via desktop icon named 'home' or 'computer' > usr > shared > applications > here r all the menu items. But 'shutdown' item is absent ! (good, I can use this as 'menu'. but can't shut down) Found thunar. opened thunar. closed nau...

Hi friends! I installed mint-8 fluxbox in a slow pc recently, dual boot with windows xp. I found, I can not browse files of windows partitions via thunar. Though I mounted these. Then I installed nautilus. Now I see, mounted partitions are visible on the desktop, I am browsing files smoothly. But st...

Update:
Last night I booted my linux mint and found: sound is ok (not muted). I did not install or change anything in the last few days. How this problem is solved automatically? strange!

Huawei USB modems are very frequently used in my country. I found, it is a plug and play device in linux mint (whereas windows needs driver to be installed). As remoulder already said, just configure it from the taskbar icon for network. No 'modeswitch' is needed (at least I did not need). plug the ...

Same thing happened in my side. My system is mute when I boot it, though sound was high during shut down. But it was ok for the last one month (means, newly installed linux mint is ok). Recently I did some works, like: system update, installing some new software via software-manager (real-player, gn...

Sorry, I am again posting in this thread.

I am still waiting for the solution. Please help me...
