tks. for your support. I followed your actions & was able to "simply" edit the unlock process to not have to deal with that pop-up. Besides I forgot the login password for the unlock process. I'm a newbie & feel more confident to not put up with annoying processes such as the unloc...

I run Mint 17.1 on 4 PC's. Only one reports errors on Mint Update (4.9.2): partial update with error. I do not understand how to correct this issue; so please step by step the correction procedure. What I don't understand is what ESP means. I believe I installed the OS with FAT formatted disk. Thank...

Receive error 1 notice upon running "update manager" for many weeks; I found this data on searching the Mint 17 Forum re. what the error is dependent upon. However, I do not know how to use this information to resolve the issue of "partial installed updates". Please advise on: ji...

My experience with Skype version 4.2.XX and being locked, out to use my Skype account; only access to the account page, but not the user page for usage: the lock out was instituted by multiple logins with error messages re. password error. Issue presented to Skype support with no fix other than sugg...

hi,
thanks, but the same difficulty.
I already went thru this before.

I hoped Wine would just work.

Anyway, no0 problem as I dual boot to Win 7.

correction to my post: Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner is not recognized. There is a very long sequence of terminal entries to try to get it to work. But down the list of the terminal suggestions via Epson website., is a disclaimer that "even these action may not get the scanner to work&quo...

At least give us the model number of your Epson scanner . . . :wink: Epson Perfection 3170 Photo. BTW: Epson scanners (all) are not auto recognized by Ubuntu re. drivers & software. There's a great deal of "try this n that" in the search results. With even "caution: this blah, bl...

Hi, I tried to use terminal commands from suggestions on use of Epson Scanner & Mint 9. Was unable to use scanner after trying commands & have sane installed & installed "iscan". Have Wine installed. Please suggest how I use Wine to run the scanner, as it does run under dual bo...

I assume you want to keep Mint installed and then install Windows 7 this is unusual most people have Windows then install linux. It can be done but not as simple as Windows then linux. This guide shows how to do it, its for Vista but will work for Win 7. http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with...

i dual boot Mint 9 (32 bit) & Win 7 (64 bit) on desktop. no problem with any hardware nor Mint programs, except Picasa older version is the only one available for Mint. Thus, I'm glad I kept win 7 as newer version of Picasa is much better: can upload to vendors to buy pics, using Win 7. I do hat...

Hi, I had an issue with typing in Gmail. transposition, which means the cursor just jumped about to most anywhere in above sentences. a mess. What happens is that words are inserted anywhere. so if i use an USB keyboard; this issue does not occur. also u might be touching the touchpad by mistake. Jim

Yes, I believe the issue is "Adobe Flash" related. Firefox caused the same issue for me over & over. Crashed screen: "sorry, sorry messages" don't help. So, I installed "Chrome" as my default browser & then installed Flash. Now, I can replay highlights of the Wo...

I'm very thrilled to have upgraded to Mint 9. The tutorial on "how to upgrade" was quite explicit, so that this 70 yr. young Newbie had total success. Only hardware not operational is the Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner. It didn't work under Helena either: I read the "workaround&q...
