Just set up grub2 to do it - no need for any extra packages.

Re: Easiest way to back up TimeShift snapshots?
TS takes incremental snapshots after the first, so unless you have made a literal carp load of changes, future snapshots don't take up that much space.

UGee tablet
Hi all, long time no see. I appreciate that this is not so much a Mint problem as a "Why does Mint work" problem. I was a former Mint aficionado, and I jumped ship a couple of years ago. I will still always plug Mint to new Linux users. Anyhoo, I switched to Arch, and I plugged in a Ugee g...

Teamviewer
Hey all (long time no see). My parents are still on Mint (32 bit IIRC, no point asking them, I installed it two years ago - and count myself lucky that they are still using it). Anyway, they've hit a bit of a problem that's best solved with remote access. I figured teamviewer was the easiest way to ...

Re: "adduser: only root may add a user or group to the syste
When you say you are logged in as root, do you mean as the user that you created when you installed mint? If so, that's not root. You can add users with:
Note: you can install gnome-system-tools to get the GUI option back
Code: Select all

Re: Failed at the first hurdle, or two.!
You could also try installing via the terminal and see if it gives you more output that may point to the error. To do that, and assuming that you downloaded the file to your Desktop: cd ~/Desktop sudo dpkg -i opera-next_12.00.1272_i386.deb Change the first line to wherever you downloaded the .deb fi...

I agree that pulse is a completely mixed bag and often a dog. It's limitations are most noticable when you need to run a jack server, in which case setting up pulse to work with it can be a complete nightmare. That's not the only problem with it, though. Many programs running using wine will stutter...

Re: Virtual Box and USB recognition
If you have installed the extension pack, then you are halfway there.
Go to users and groups, manage groups, and add yourself to the "vboxusers" group. Logout and login again, and it should work.

Re: US Assassin Drones dump Windows shift to Linux Drone Con
The alternative is that they use hardware controlled by virus infested Windows which will potentially blow their own troops up instead of someone else's troops. You will never stop governments killing, and your proposal would simply change the victim.

Best guess. You have installed using wubi previously. wubi doesn't write a native grub boot, but rather writes a wubi boot which chainloads a gru boot if you select Linux, hence the two boot screens that you have experienced before. This time when you installed, you did it "properly", whic...

It should wake up on a keypress, but try this anyway to see if it stops it blanking. In a terminal:
If it works, simply add it to startup.
