Well... went the whole weekend without streaming and - even though I rebooted a couple of times (for the sake of investigation) the message comes back. It does however not seem to have any negative effect on my system as a whole and the size of the syslog seems to keep itself at a reasonable size, s...

Were you by any chance doing a lot of capturing of streaming videos at all? I haven't used svtplay-dl for some time actually, but you might have pointed me in the right direction anyway... I've spent the last couple of days following Al Jazeera's coverage of the US Election... could that qualify as...

Hi all, Yesterday I found myself with a syslog that had grown so big (23GB) that available space in my root partition had shrunk to only 150-something MB. I googled my way to a solution to that problem and managed to get that part of my computer back to normal again. This did however open up a new w...

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the place for my question, and maybe it's all been asked before, so please accept my apologies if I should have posted it elsewhere... (Neither do I know much about terminology, so maybe the info is already here somewhere) A couple of years ago I set up my netbook to ...

Here is an interesting update...

Just on a hunch I decided to try the XFCE version of the iso instead.

- That one boots!

It doesn't solve my problem though, as I really prefer to install Cinnamon version...

Any ideas?

(Edit - couldn't find the question mark on the live cd)

yup...

Stops at the same place.

Hi all, Did a search, but from what I found most similar errors come on already installed systems which is not my case... I sat down to try to reinstall Linux Mint this morning - I went for Cinnamon x64 version of 17.2 - and ended up not getting past the mint boot splash-thing... I reset the compute...

I finally got it (and my memory back): If I choose to add the server by adding it address instead of scanning for it and try to open it I get the option to enter with credentials. - But this only works if I do [2] It's a pity that it isn't as easy as just right-clicking on the folder/drive and choos...

Hmm... I think I'll look at that option first. Another option that I'm thinking about it to go back to Maya and see if that works the way I remember it. That way I covered until 2017 when it comes to support and since the main task of this netbook will be sharing videos and music It doesn't really m...

Ok... I'll have to read a bit more to try to figure this one out. Seems like quite a huge inconvenience - at least for me - that I canẗ offer just about any device that enter my home access by a few "clicks".(we have 4 Androids and 4 computers at all times, and a lot of family visiting) Ag...

Hi Altair, thanks for taking the time to reply. I started with option two and it worked right away. Is this a new requirement or did I just forget about it from the last time I set it up? Another question - how do I go about giving my android phones acces to these drives? That error is still there (...

Hi all, Silly question that I can't seem to figure out the answer to: Have two computers running Petra Cinnamon. One of them - a netbook - have a couple of usb disks connected to them. My idea is to have the netbook run as a poor man's file server, so I want to share those connected disks with the r...

First of all - thanks for taking the time to reply, My testing goes on and it seems like it's pointing more and more towards memory. Haven't done any real testing of the RAM yet, but I decided to change my strategy a bit with Handbrake and went for one of the standard presets that came along when I ...

Hi all, Not sure if this is the right section, maybe I should've posted in the hardware section instead, but since this is a mix of hardware and other questions I'm starting out here. Feel free to move this if another section is more appropriate. I recently set up a new configuration which consists ...

I just upgraded on Mint 13LTS yesterday (27-Mar-2013): 1. Open synaptic 2. search flash 3. Your search results should product an adobe-flashplugin Install and restart FF. Note, I'm not sure if this is applicable, but I have backports engaged in synaptic, -DataMan You're right, I did more or less th...

I can still watch youtube videos without issue... Which flash version are you running? FYI, adobe has cut support for Flash on Linux (as of a year or so ago). One comment about this with adobe and Flash fro Linux... weren't they still going to release security updates? A more general observation: I...

about, distros sharing home folder. I do something Almost similar... I normally have a root(/) a swap and a home(/home) and a 32fat formatted partion I call the 'Bridge&Keep. Where I can put stuff for easy access with windows (I don't multi-boot but great for bluetooth those that do have Window...

can 'unetbootin' replace 'image writer' It (at least for me) makes a USB Startuper (is that a word?) perfect, but Gparted (unless in a live environment) complains about a recursive file system if want to reuse as (format) just as a storage pendrive. edit** Also can 'BUM' replace setting>services. B...

Hi All, Just installed Nadia XFCE on my Netbook a couple of hours ago, and I'm currently in the process of setting it up the way I want it. On my to do list is Dropbox, but when trying to install it (through terminal) I get a message saying that nemo-dropbox will get installed instead, and along wit...

Yeah, saving the session works for me. Been rebooting, shutting down/turning on, logging in/out several times since yesterday without problems.
