Linux Mint Forums

It looks like Elyssa will be the first Linux Mint I will not be able to use. The installation went well, I updated the system and used the restricted drivers manager to install the ATI driver; after rebooting my screen went black. This is exactly the same problem that I (and many others) experienced...

Yes, I think I have become an expert of fixing the fstab file because on another, more recent PC on every Mint and (K)Ubuntu I installed the system broke down (hardware incompatibility). By the way, on another partition I tried Xubuntu Gutsy and on that OS I had no problems with Wine (I didn't insta...

Hi Merlwiz, after 6 or 7 reboots I was finally able to see the .wine folder but when I tried to install UT99 the message was that the OS didn't recognize the cdrom. On top of that the entire system broke down due to the UUID problem on the /etc/fstab file, and that was the first time I saw this happ...

Hi Merlwiz79, that was fast!

I am on another PC at the moment so I'll try your suggestions tomorrow and I'll let you know.

Thank you very much and congratulations for your great work.

Hi everyone, probably I am missing something but on an older PC with Cassandra XFCE I am not able to get Wine and Crossover working. First I had installed Wine following the copy and paste instructions from Winehq but I wasn't able to find it anywhere (I know it is a hidden folder) and then directly...

Hi Phil, I watched the game on TV5 Europe yesterday (unfortunately I don't understand French at all) and it was a battle of rare intensity, but I wouldn't describe it as great IMHO. The '99 semifinal at Twickenham, that was a great game! Anyway I hope France can stun the All Blacks once again in the...

Clem, I don't understand one thing: isn't still possible for France to top the pool with a victory (with bonus point) over Ireland and a defeat for Argentina against the Irish team? And I have another question for you: I have read somewhere the the opening game in Saint-Denis has been watched by 14 ...

Earlier in this thread Epower reported a bug regarding Envy but apparently he managed to fix the problem.
On my Celena installation Envy does not work: it asks for the password and then absolutely nothing happens.

Hi Husse, I can confirm that even a reformatting does not solve the problem but now I know the cause is a Fiesty-related bug, because on the same root and home partitions where Cassandra and Ubuntu 7.04 break down I installed the old Dapper and it works perfectly. I guess I'll keep using Bianca unti...

Hi Husse, I have the same exact problem; I tried 4 or 5 times to install Cassandra on the second hard disk of my PC, and every time it breaks down with the UUID error message, usually after a few days of use, with or without upgrading the kernel. If I reformat the hard disk and recreate the partions...

I experienced a similar problem with Cassandra: after 24 hours it was broken, I mean nothing was working anymore so I decided to do a fresh install of ... Bianca! Now I have a question for you guys: is the problem only Feisty related or is it possible that the same disaster will happen also on Bianc...

Congratulations Clem!
I'm writing this post from Cassandra and everything is working perfectly well.

I did what you suggested and everything is OK now.
If anyone is interested, the game runs better on Mint than on Windows.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for the reply. No, the instructions for the bonus pack and the patch simply said to unpack and install on the UT2004 folder, which of course is owned by root. Probably there was a mistake in the installation of the game, but I simply followed the advice I found on a couple of threads on th...

Hi, I installed Unreal Tournament 2004 on Bianca (it works flawlessly btw) but now I'm stuck. I have downloaded a Bonus Pack and an essential patch from Beyond Unreal, and I need to install them on /usr/local/games/ut2004. Needless to say, I don't have the permission to do anything on that folder an...

Thanks again for the reply.
Your suggestion was exactly what I was looking for.

Hi Husse, thank you for your help. I have a follow up question. Of course I will try first with the Ubuntu Dapper add-on cd ((I'll have to download it again). In case that procedure wouldn't work, where can I find the build-essential package (and all the dependencies) on the internet? I must have re...

I just replaced Ubuntu Dapper with Linux Mint Bianca but now I don't know how to set up an internet connection. With Dapper I had found a guide for my Ericsson hm120dp usb modem which worked perfectly. I hope that the same instructions will work also for Linux Mint but I have a problem: I need to in...

Thank you very much, Clem

Hi, the thing I don't fully understand is this: if I install Linux Mint on my second hard disk, which is now used 100% by Ubuntu, I guess it will erase and overwrite that OS, but what about the MBR? Will the Linux Mint installation automatically set up the correct boot option? I mean, will the Ubunt...
