I am trying to install [Spark IM](http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/index.jsp) however I am running into all kinds of problems. The steps I have taken so far were: 1. Download the tar.gz file from the website 2. Unpack it 3. `cd /home/user/Downloads/Spark` 4. `sudo chmod +x Spark` 5. `sudo chm...

I am using the latest official release of linux Mint (cannot recall the number right now). My Android phone is a Huawei U8800 IDEOS X5 with Cyanogen mod installed version 2.3.7. My computer does not seem to detect anything else besides a mouse. Even when I plug in the Micro SD card it still is not d...

My Linux Mint Vanilla instalation does not notice that my Android phone is connected by USB. No matter what I do !
How can I fix this?

Hello, I am trying to install the official NVIDIA drivers for my machine but nothing has worked. Specs: NVDIA GEFORCE 650M GT with an Intel Optimus i7 processor. (my machine is hybrid I guess). StepsI took: - Go to NVIDIA site and download official drivers - Run official installer after disabling X ...

Bump!

I already knew about CTRL+ALT+UP / DOWN. Suffice to say it's simply not the same thing - it's worst. xD
Guess I'll have to wait.

So, that means that for now I can't cycle from 3 to 1? Well that sucks big time -.- Other window managers (like KDE) support it.

Are you saying you want to be able to do crtl alt right to move from 3 to 1 yes exactly! How do I do it? or do you just desire some way to jump from one to the other directly? Certainly would not mind that at all as well :D Thanks for the applet suggestion, but I really feel the need for the first ...

I agree with user MintKDE416. There are also other choices such as the LXDE and XFCE environments that are lighter. However they are lighter because they lack some feautures present i cinamon and are recomemded for older computers.

Hello, so one of my friends suggested me several dual screen wallpapers (because he has 2 monitors): http://wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/matrixstandoff-780059.jpeg http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/164/4/8/sc2_dual_screen_by_krisssssssssss-d53bokb.jpg And many others. I don't have a dual ...

Hello gentleman, I am using Linux Mint 64v with Cinamon. I know how to add virtual desktops (workspaces) one by one, but I can't go from my workspace 3 back to 1 again (per example, assuming I have 3 workspaces), I am always forced to go all the way back, which is really annoying to say the least. I...

Hey, thanks for the command, it solved all my problems!
Thanks! I was tired of searching for a ~/.bashrc that doesn't exist at all

In Ubuntu forums they have "cofee" as a reward for helping people. How do I give you "cofee" ?

Hello fellas, I am trying to install Bouncy Castle (cryptographic provider) for java in Mint but I just don't know where $JAVA_HOME is, I can't find the damn folder and every google website I found so far either points me to folders or files that don't exist or points me to folders and files that ma...

Hello gentleman, I recently realised that when I unninstal a program (like Kopete) that although the program is in fact removed, it's shortcuts (like the icon on "favorites") are not removed, thus forcing me to find all the shortcuts (that don't work because the program was unninstalled by the way) ...

I have several PCs with Intel I845 Graphics and Problems with Kubuntu 10.04. Can we use Isadora KDE für this PCs? If your problem is with the KDE graphic system using Linux Mint KDE version will NOT fix your problems. Instead you will have the same problems and probably more. I advise you to change...

I read the first page looking for "what's new in KDE version for LM9" and I only saw ports and fixes. Will the KDE version have something new compared to older versions? What will be the main difference between then KDE and GNOME versions ? (Except for the graphic environment ofc). Do you guys have ...

So, let me see if I get it right: KDE is now official, BUT the crew making KDE version only has 1 person? I don't get the logic around this ...
Anyway, Thanks for the link. Looks like I searched in the wrong places, I will try remembering myself to use the forum search engine next time.

Hey guys, I am a fan of LM over Ubuntu (always have been) and I am addicted to it's KDE version. However when I tried to download the Isadora KDE version from this link: http://www.linuxmint.com/release.php?id=13 I noticed that there is NO KDE version available yet. Technically KDE is now official a...

Guys, if you are saying that LM9 is way slower and has slower menus than it's previous version, than blame Ubuntu. Recent tests show that if you have the 3D effects option enabled for menus, you will run the system with less FPS (minus 30 FPS is the average number). So if you want to have the speed ...

Problem solved then
