Linux Mint Forums

ok, 62 views and no solution..? come on guys..
the speakers work just fine in windows..they get powered up in linux too..so where does the issue lay?

i downloaded the package, and i think i have a portable version of firefox..it seems to work for now, so i will not complain about it..

*just now goes to read the appointed article*

i was trying to update the mozilla firefox to version 5.0 (3.6 sounds like stone age now lol) but if i dont have the correct file i cant..is this correct?
i downloaded the package from its site, but it simply wont appear in the update manager..
guess i have to wait, or try with wine?

i have 2 pcs(one dual boot xp and linux the other single xp boot), and 2 monitors, one has in-built speakers(used on single xp boot pc) the other doesnt. the one with speakers broke down and it took me some time to repair it. and since i had to use the nonspeakers monitor from the dual boot pc on th...

did you try any other version of mint 10? im running mint 9, because im neew and i need all the support i can get :D however i tried 2 different versions with not so good result as with the current one. kde was crashing, when i was doing important things, the other one -forgot which- was freezing al...

i have 2 pc.. the one i write from right now with dual boot XP/Linux mint xfce 9..i have no issues with it -anymore-. the other one -xp only- is a different story. however, maybe the fact that you installed from a recovery disc might be a problem? few days ago i had to completely reinstall everythin...

BEFORE i magically erased everything from my pc, both of them said it. i dont have a proof of what windows was reading, but here is a proof of what KDE was: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=65947 .. you need to scroll down a bit i can get used to the thought of having less stora...

@Habitual
i understood the difference, but it was the OS saying i have 200GB, not the vendor (i dont even know who sold this pc..its more like a second hand one, dunno)

and here is what the gparted shows me.

it means i really did mess up with my pc then .however, before doing this, all OSs read 200GB.
i may not be an expert in this stuff, but i do know what the results are.

my hard is 200GB, but now my linux reads 187GB. this is the story of how it happened: i had the linux mint 9 KDE version, but it was crashing. i wanted to create a live usb -my ipod- and while following some instructions, from another site, -i even forgot which- i ended up deleting EVERY. LITTLE. TH...

i installed xfce..in dual boot in the end. but im not so sure i'll remain like this. still, i can't seem to be able to do a clean install from the cd, if i restart the pc. i believe i will kill it completely if i still try to do things on it, but for now, it is quiet, and seems stable. apparently i ...

i wanted to turn my ipod into a bootable usb, but the commands i found somewhere (i totally forgot where) DELETED, REFORMATTED my pc..i lost everything. even my BIOS got downgraded ;_; and i have no idea of how to make it back. the software from the hp site for my pc doesnt seem to work..not sure wh...

@DrHu and @AlbertP i have of none of those installed on my pc...:/ but thanks anyway @Aging Technogeek other than the ram, that indeed is only 512mb, i cant think of anything else wrong with my pc..and you wont believe just how lazy i am to move my ass to a spare parts shop to buy more ram >.> i wil...

i tried the isadora 64-bit, the cd version before, and it still wasnt ok. and i chose isadora because they say it has long term support, which for a newbie like me is helpful (or should be) and truthfully, i forgot how much space i gave to each partition..of course i have most of the space for the :...

i have an old hp pavillion pc, which supports 64-bit os, but i dont need that feature, so i use 32bit. my os now is mint 9 kde, but it crashes a lot especially when opening more windows, or more tabs, or more programs. -like i have about 5 tabs open in firefox and the messenger. if i receive a link ...

so usually i switch from one open window to another (like from mozilla to a folder..), or between tabs, or typing.. @elisa: yes, im a noob..-_-' System: Host Heaven Kernel 2.6.32-21-generic i686 (32 bit) Distro Linux Mint 9 Isadora CPU: Single core AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (UP) cache 512 KB flags (sse3 n...

i just installed this version last week, i love how everything looks and goes, up to a moment when the screen goes black and i find out i need to log back in. and at times it does it a few times in a row. i saw there are many crash topics, but they dont seem to have my problem.. is there anything i ...

ok, did that, here is the result if it helps you advise me better, but i do not use CAD or graphic devices, so i guess i do not need the 64 bit version... i have no idea of rendering programs (will google it), so its good i can install any version.. but i will admit i need MUCH more ram...god im so ...

ok, i took a look at that thread, but now my head spins, lol.. i need to take it slowly, haha i stop joking, so i completed one of the commands: lshw and i got a reeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaly long report.. at a certain moment it says something like: description: Computer width: 64 bits capabilities: vsyscall...

ok, i thank you, i have a 64bit system installed..
and my pc should be able to support it.. i believe...

the commands will kill me, lol, but im willing to learn...plus i still have a Windows xp pc, so i wont be actually missing it, lol
