Linux Mint Forums

ok, thx.

I'm registered member, it allowed me to log in, but still couldn't get any further.

I was just wondering if anyone knows what happened to the forum. gimpforums.com page is still up , but I keep getting 404 error.

When I'm using Gimp 2.6 , and I'm done working and close the program, I would like to know how I tell it to save the last settings? Each time I launch Gimp the middle workspace starts as a smaller box, and I have to grab the corners and make the box fit to the screen. I recall seeing the solution at...

ya, I noticed that.

I did manage to get it working on my windows partition, so I can live with it for now until I have the time to do a fresh install of 18 or 19.

ok, did that and got some errors. says mint 17.3 not supported. but, then it says to run hp doctor to fix issues sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt4 [sudo] password for dc: Reading package lists...

I'm trying to connect a printer , but I'm not sure if I have the correct drivers for it. I went to the HP support site, and it said to run dpkg -l hplip in a terminal. which resulted in this dc@dc-N82JQ ~ $ dpkg -l hplip Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked...

thanks for the help guys, I got it working again. when I downloaded the newer version , I deleted the old one first from the downloads folder. This was a step I didn't do before , when I was trying to uninstall, which is probably why it kept showing up each time I reboot the computer. I ran the new ...

hi,

thanks for the replies.

I'll try the suggested solutions and post the results.

I'm having trouble with a program called pcloud. I can't get it to work, and it doesn't uninstall when I tried to delete it. I keep getting an error when I try to log in to my cloud account , saying that there's no internet connection, which is wrong since my internet is working fine. I thought it w...

I'm having some trouble with Pcloud. every time I try to log in , it keeps telling me there's no internet connection. I also tried to uninstall it so I could try and install it again to see if would help , but that didn't work either. when I try to uninstall , it goes through the process of asking f...

ya , I'm using the correct USB port. It's on the left side , beside the HDMI port and it's blue so it's for USB 3.0.
I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the external drive, it just takes forever to even recognize the drive..

I have the right cable , it's got the blue USB 3.0 connector , it came with the drive.

I was just trying to use this hard drive , and it's taking a really long time for the computer to access the files.
transferring files is very slow as well.

could this be related to a driver issue?

still having trouble with this.

I think I am going to leave it , and come back to it another time.

Thx for your help Laurent85

"verify the md5sum of the downloaded iso ?" I didn't do that, at least, I don't think I did because I don't know what you mean , lol. :oops: do you mean the "check integrity of the medium" message I see when I boot the live USB? I just did the check integrity of the medium, I did not get any errors.
