Don't know if this will be any help to you. I couldn't get the fn + F? options to work for my Sony Vaio so I set keybindings for xbacklight to super + up/down to adjust my screen brightness. I did something very similar to get my audio to work. If you use openbox: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/p...

crunchbang (not xfce) or archbang.

If I felt like really giving e a try I might consider bodhi.

// function example #include <iostream> using namespace std; int addition (int a, int b) { int r; r=a+b; return (r); } int main () { int z; z = addition (5,3); cout << "The result is " << z; return 0; } In this example addition is the name of the function. (int a, int b) are parameters th...

Glad to hear you got it working.

You might want to post your conky script next time you need conky help though.

Where package is the package name, and version is the version of the package you wish to install.

Don't know if that method will work for you in this situation but it is the easiest solution I can think of.

I'd recommend checking the md5sum of the images before you do anything with them: Gnome 32-bit= daeabb182b016cd62bfced5483441b5a If you have 64-bit or an xfce version find the md5sum by clicking on your version here: http://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php open a terminal in the directory you dow...

Regardless of whether you entered it wrong or not, I think most people will need a bit more information about what errors occurred to help you out.

If you can post what happened when you ran the command I might be able to offer some advice.

Theoretically, assuming you own the rights to the video you are converting you can use clive to download the video, mplayer to extract the audio, and vbrfix to fix the length of track because mplayer will probably botch it up. If you know how to create a bash script here is one I use to pull the aud...

My girlfriends sony vaio laptop had a similar issue. I installed mint 10, then ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

After rebooting the mouse worked just fine.

For future reference you have two unrelated questions in one thread, please put separate issues in separate threads.

The only way I know to not enter your password to use synaptic is to log in as root. Which you shouldn't do.

Well the easiest way to repair mint would be to do a fresh install of it. I would verify the md5sum of the image before installing again. If you want to remove Mint, boot into Ubuntu and delete the files on the partition for mint. Then update grub. Don't reboot your computer after deleting all the f...

I think the best thing for a user at any level to master is using google. For instance I want to learn about bash scripting, more specifically for-loops.

I would ask google for: for loop + bash.

I searched for a while to see if this had been posted already. I couldn't find it so I elected to do so. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-694927630239078625# The first 20 minutes or so are Stallman speaking about free/opensource software. Seeing this video several years ago is what inspired ...

If you look through your mint menu, how many of the programs do you actually use and how many of the ones you do use have you installed yourself? It's impossible to cater for everyone. This resonates with me, and hopefully with others. How many people truly use only software included with a particu...
