Linux Mint Forums

I know next to nothing about UEFI mode. The only reason I have an EFI partition is that the installer gave me a warning that my system will not boot without it, so I added it

It seems that I'll have to reinstall linux.

yes, and as you can see - everything is still there:

sure, I get: (base) hezy@Adeimantus:~$ sudo efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0000 Timeout: 2 seconds BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002,0003,0005,0006,0007,0009 Boot0000* ubuntu Boot0001* DTO UEFI USB Floppy/CD Boot0002* DTO UEFI USB Hard Drive Boot0003* DTO UEFI ATAPI CD-ROM Drive Boot0005* DTO Legacy USB Floppy/CD ...

I'm not sure what "installed together with Mint in uefi mode" means

I'm not sure. how can I find out?

I installed LM 19.3 along side an old installation of Windows 7 on a HP desktop computer. The picture below shows the partition layout. when I start the computer, I don't get a grub menu to choose OS, and I automatically go to Linux Mint. So I have no way to go into windows. I tried to run boot-repa...

I'm using Linux Mint 19.3 with Cinnamon on my desktop PC. Yesterday I rebooted the computer after a kernel update. The boot process seems to have been fine, and I got to the login screen (the default LightDM). I typed my password and pressed enter. Screen became dark for a second, but then I found m...

I like the background too. The settings for this is in the file .gtkrc-2.0 in your home folder. here is my file for example: include ".gtkrc-white" style "xfdesktop-icon-view" { XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 50 font_name="Sans" base[NORMAL] = "#000000" base[SELECTED] = "#A7CC5C" base[ACTIVE] = "#...

Hello, I've been using Linux for about a year now and the only experience I have had is with the Gnome desktop environment. I have been reading up on the XFCE environment and how its faster than Gnome in many situations. I would have switched to XFCE earlier if it wasn't for me worrying about appli...

1) Fonts in Firefox look different from other apps. The GUI font is bolder then the rest of apps and the fonts on the pages is sometimes aliased and weirdly colored. I was googling for two days and tried every "fix" one by one with no effect. I've found 3 different variants of .fonts.conf - they di...

It will probably take somee time before we see Firefox 4 in Debian testing. Meanwhile, you can install it this way: http://linux-blog.org/install-firefox-4-on-linux-mint-debian-edition-lmde/ and to have better rendering of fonts in Firefox, I recommend this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=75...

How to change desktop icon spacing in XFCE? I want to reduce horizontal distance between icons on desktop, but I don't know how. Is it possible ? You can have some control on icon spacing by editing your .gtkrc-2.0 file touch ~/.gtkrc-2.0 add something like: style "xfdesktop-icon-view" { XfdesktopI...

Hi, i currently using LMDE XFCE 64 but i noticed that the ram usage at boot is 190 MB while in LMDE GNOME 64 it was only 140~150 MB. Does anyone know why it happens and how can I solve this issue? And I also read somewhrere in the forum that the LMDE XFCE 32 use about 110 MB at boot. I find it stra...

ahhh, I wonder why the other distros that run 4.6 don't suffer from it. a mystery of life I suppose edit: the link you posted is for xfce 4.4 btw. I've seen complaints about this bug in forums of other distros, and I have it on Xubuntu 11.04 (i.e. Ubuntu with Xfce 4.8 ). It's amazing that such a si...

This is a well known bug in Xfce 4.6

Sometimes packages have seemingly recursive dependencies (adding X makes Y uninstallable, Y is waiting for X). This means the new version of X will break the old version of Y, but there's also a new version of Y that needs the new version of X. sounds like a time travel paradox from an old star tra...

I like what you did there. Clean and simple yet functional. Can you post your conky configuration?

It's true that LXDE is lighter than Gnome, but an improvement of x3 in fps is too big to be explained by that alone. My guess is that you had compiz turned on in Gnome. Compiz uses a big chunk of the computing power of the display hardware. If you turned compiz off in Gnome, I believe that the fps c...
