After about over 3 years I finally found someone who has these Realtek 8812au drivers for Ubuntu/Linux mint, I have this 5Ghz adapter I bought from amazon three years ago for 5 bucks.After I found this site, I decided to see if these drivers worked and they really do work. I downloaded cinnamon, and...

found the solution to this issue the solution was ubuntu 17.10.1 Im using kubuntu.Linux mint has to stop using the long term support for two years, especially for newer computers because as more new hardware comes out it takes time for the developers to catch up with the newer hardware.My Hp15 was m...

Just purchased HP 15 with realtek 8188ee wireless (HP 15 manufactured in 2016) and the issue is that the sensitivity is very bad,I have to stay close to my router to get any web browsing, over 70% signal strength to browse with acceptable browsing but youtube videos are only 240 definition.My 5 year...

How would I disable my laptop pc speakers on my toshiba satellite a215 laptop notebook.My speakers are damaged because of this laptop being old and I do not want to take it apart and remove the physical speakers.

Ok the issue with linux mint 18.1 is the fact of problem with the shutdown hang and restarting ( (shutdown hang),cinnamon is a little laggy buy there is no video tearing in cinnamon as for xfce v sync. I know this old computer is NOT SUPPORTED BY LINUX ANYMORE,maybe I can go back to windows,so much ...

How would I write a script to boot wicd to a specific or random mac address ( other than my chip mac address ) ,I dont know how to write scripts,and how would I install the script in wicd. Thank you.

I tried the 17.x series of linux mint but there is nothing but problems with the video on my computer,the video is choppy and stiff. I tried the 18.x series of linux mint but there is a problem with the shutdown of of my computer,it hangs at shutdown,but the 18 series all versions does shut down bef...

Thanks for the advice but I find it was easier to download kde and go from there and it works.I like kde anyway on my 4 year old gateway and xfce on my 8 year old toshiba satellite.

I tried mint cinnamon 18.2 and decided I wanted to install wicd and remove the old 16.04 network manager because it doesnt spoof mac addresses properly,The old nm will revert to the burned in mac address upon connection even though I use macchanger to change it. So I installed wicd and removed the g...

try the physical ram for starters.

Linux mint kde 18.2.

Even though this is an old thread the grab your mouse just happened to me.

Bad memory chip,trust me I had to replace a bad memory chip to a new 4 gb memory and ff does not crash anymore.3 years of ff crashing all the time and with the new memory no more crashing at all.I can leave my computer on all night and in the morning its like I just turned it on using LM. Fore three...

found the solution downloaded all the deb packages of wicd removed the gnome network manager and it works great.

But according to my monitors on xfce Firefox must be using 800-900 MB of ram because with firefox close first at boot it runs 300 mb freshly booted with no apps started. Firefox is the only browser thats available midori crashes too much.As for lxde lubuntu xfce and lxde use about the same amount of...

yes i installed the mm codec pack and I uninstalled it and vlc got uninstalled with it,I also installed vlc alone and all the mm codecs came with it.This is an ubuntu base,not a fedora,manjaro or suse distro.If you run mint 18 OR HIGHER try it and tell me if vlc get uninstalled if you remove all the...

tried it and it doesnt work it always reverts to the chip mac address which I would assume is a driver issue,Tails linux that I have found does work well to spoof mac address but I hate the gnome3 desktop I mean the gnome3 desktop system is a memory hog at 2.5 Gb ram.I would like mint/ubuntu to act ...
