ralplpcr's fix worked wonders for me - even with a dual monitor setup with some OLD Flat screens. Worked awesome with Mint Xfce 19.1 on a Quad Core Dell Optiplex 755 with an Nvidia card.

Thanks!

I have a Brother MFC-210C scanner/printer. I don't use the printer, but the scanner has always worked great in Mint. This time (Mint 19.1) it failed to install - even using this site (which heretofore has always worked) https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/brother-printers.html . After runnin...

Searched through here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blueman/+bug/1574093 where someone said to delete network.state from /var/lib/blueman. I did that and rebooted, same exact error. So that's a dud. I didn't seen anything else that looked like a legit fix. Any ideas/suggestions appreciat...

Oh! forgot to add, rig is Dell optiplex 755 (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8200 @ 2.66GHz, 8 gigs ram) on Linux Mint Xfce 17.3 "Rosa." USB Bluetooth dongle is (via LSUSB): Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

Hi, I get this annoying error on bootup: Error @ bootup.jpg The text reads: Failed to apply network settings org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) You might not be able to connect to the Bluetooth network via this machine Googling around and sea...

Hi Spearmint2, Thanks for your awesome reply! I didn't know home was always owned by root. Therefore I assumed that's why dropbox was misbehaving. I went ahead and re-installed dropbox from the link you sent and it's working - at least at this juncture. Hopeful after rebooting it'll still work. The ...

Hi, Running x64 of Mint (Xfce Nadia). For some reason, I've lost my frigging home folder's user permissions! When I boot, it momentarily shows the "The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present" message asking me to hit "S" or "M" if I do nothing it just give...

Hi, Thanks for the reply and suggestion of installing flash-aid. I don't think I'm going to go that route however, b/c flash-aid caused a bit of a mess on another rig (my crunchbang rig) a few months ago. Besides, I suspect the problem has more to do with some idiosyncracy within firefox itself, rat...

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone has a solution to this rather annoying problem. Anyone?

Peace

Hi, Thanks for the response. I've opened up "Software Manager." when searching for Gecko, the following comes up: gecko-mediaplayer (already installed) alice gecko-mediaplayer:i386 (this is a 64 bit rig) wine-gecko1.4 wine-gecko1.4:386 I'm assuming you were referring to gecko-mediaplayer -...

Hi Flemur, Thanks for the replay. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how this is done. I've looked around for these plugins that you mention, and can't find any. When I do ap-cache searches for gstreamer | grep mms (or wavpack, quicktime, etc) it all comes up blank. So I'm obviously looking in the w...

Hi, I'm running x64 version of Linux Mint Xfce Nadia. The rig is a HP DV5 with 4 gigs and 2 mhz dual core. When trying to access online voicemail, I get the following error dialogue (shown in image) https://www.box.com/s/0vhl8vmw3fppv5ipolpc moxilla plugin check shows quicktime is out of date, but f...

Hi,
I too would like to replace the default filemanager in Cinnamon. I'm running Mint 14 X64. I like Thunar (am an old XFCE fanboy - but want to give Cinnamon a spin). Is there a way to cleanly nuke nemo and insert Thunar?

Peace

Hi, I went through a great deal to try to get this puppy to work in Kubuntu 11.04. The final solution - for my rig (HP DV6233se) was to uninstall the bcmwl-kernel-source. I did confirm that the bcm43xx was blacklisted and removed the blacklist - didn't work. No fix on the broadcom sta driver ever wo...
