My old "Clem" install still wasn't working this morning, I was watching a download and after a minute of so it just got slower and slower them stopped. Deleted the PIA definition in Network Settings and uninstalled the pia-manager package via synaptic, then manually installed pia-v68-inst...

Hey, lauren...

1. How many updates? Not as many as you would think. I think I had 600+ files; about 500 meg if I remember correctly...
2. How much time? I didn't download everything all at once. But from downloading start to finish, I probably had two or three hours until it was back up.

Hello. Though I usually visit once or twice a week, I haven't posted here for quite a while and haven't logged in for about a year. I'm going to explain my disappointment with KDE LM 17 - and with LM 17, in general. I suspect both of my issues result from the carry-over from the Kubuntu release. I'v...

Well, played with a LOT of different distros trying to get something to work. Never did get LM11 (Gnome) to boot; or even, LM12 (Gnome). KDE seemed to work and I loaded and played with PCLinuxOS and Mepis. Ended up looking at OpenSuse 12.1 and liked it so much I kept it for about 6 weeks. Then LM12 ...

I'm having problems running LM11 on a livecd or USB. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Mint 9 (LTS) installed. Thinking I'll upgrade sometime in the next year, I downloaded LM11 to see what it's like. And maybe create a persistent USB. I started with the LM11 386 CD and got an error when I tried to r...

lwrver: Agreed. Ever since I loaded Firefox 6, also on LM9, I have trouble getting it to terminate. (I've become really friendly with "system monitor".) I'm toying with downgrading to Firefox 5 but I haven't found it yet. If FF6 sucks, I wonder if FF7 will suck more. May be time to look fo...

Found this over in the ubuntuforums.org forums.

They said it worked. I'd searched for the epson T20 driver.

Still looking.

Thought I may have found something in the mint4win forum so I've been lurking there for a few days/weeks. ( http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=159&t=49086 )

I'm going to monitor this from there.

(Sorry for the delay - my internet has been down for three days. Lightening at the ISP, I think.) Thanks, I'll check this the next time I see her computer. There's a bug in WUBI (of which mint4win is based, I believe) that causes WUBI not to work when the media is a DVD. I'd originally pulled the DV...

Wish I could do that.
It's my daughter's computer and she uses windows for ITunes. Yeah, I know, but hey...

I'm going to watch this thread.

This is posted under the mint4win forum.

If I understand the OP correctly, he probably installed 30gig with mint4win and when he rebooted, it didn't boot into mint. Only into Windows XP.
I have the same problem only with Vista.

So. I'm watching this thread.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll look at these links and will study them.

I don't know if mint4win actually uses grub like this but I'll look at the links closely.

Again, thanks!

Cheers. Looonnngggg time lurker. Forgot my login and password and had to create another. Anyway... I've loaded Mint 9 on my Dell 1525 laptop without problems. (Originally purchased from Dell with Ubuntu 8.04 on it so it was easily upgradeable.) My daughter's Dell 1525: I've tried to load Mint 9 with...
