Never mind. I give up

Okay, let's start over. None of this works as I don't even see the options available on the last illustration. All I wanted to do to start with is add a new folder in home directory and say I name it "other" and I want to either encrypt that one folder or password protect it. Maybe I wasn'...

Installed ppa
purged cryptkeeper
Installed new version from gdebi
sudo apt-mark hold cryptkeeper

Followed all instructions and still can't encrypt a folder. Is there an option I am missing or a certain place to place the folder?

Thanks for the info, Cosmo. Added ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gencfsm/ppa

How can I password protect a folder? Any help would be appreciated.

Am trying to refresh update manager.
Do I need to remove something?

Thanks a million PatH57. Problem solved.

Went through all of the instructions. Nvidia site said use 340.43 drivers. Installed 340 drivers with same error messages. Installed and tried Bumblebee which hosed everything and had to re-install system. I don't see where the 64 bit system will help any but I can try it just for fun.

I had this problem and fixed it by rebooting the computer. First time I have ever had to reboot a Linux distro. I am using Mint 17.

Thanks for the info. Will give it a try.

Dell XPS with dell mouse and Mint 16.0 Cinnamon. Can't control mouse. How do I find drivers if that is the problem?
