Linux Mint Forums

. . . then, came Mint 7 and this one yes, was my school. To be honest the system never broke on me . . . I did everything with it and I broke it so many times I became a "pro" in installations :D :cry: Been there ... done that. Didn't even get a t-shirt.. :lol: I have lost count, I just l...

Well this has been an interesting read. I have just acquired an Acer laptop with a Broadcom chip, and PCLOS detected my wireless connections without having to install any extra drivers, (That was the only disk I had available at the time). But as I like Mint and have done for several years, I downlo...

Thanks for that Husse, I have just edited xorg.conf and everthing is OK now.
I never noticed the duplicated section device.

I am using a 17" LG1720B monitor with an analog connection, the graphics card is a Nvidia 7600Gt. I cannot get above 800x600, despite editing the xorg.conf file. Here is the file, what am I missing. # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0...

Can any one explain why neither Daryna or Elyssa will not work properly with my 7600GT card. It only gives me the 800 X 600 resolution, even if I edit the Xorg.conf file to include the correct resolution (1280 X 1024) it will not work, then I get a huge screen that I cannot use. Is there a problem w...

I have just installed Mint 5 and I am only getting 640 X 480 resolution.
I have a LG1720B TFT monitor and a Nvidia 7600GT graphics card.
How do I force it to set to 1280 X 1024, which is the native resolution for my monitor.

Ignore the above post, I found the directory and pointed it to Camorama and evrything is working now.

I have just been given a Logitech webcam, I installed Camorama and it is working but when I click on take picture I get a box saying, could not create directory ~/Webcam_Pictures. So I opened a terminal, typed sudo mkdir ~/Webcam_Pictures, but it will not work, where am I going wrong as I have never...

Thanks for that rivenought, the funny thing is it will show everything (it even shows the GPU temperature) but will not show the CPU temperature.

Is there a similar Linux program that is the equivalent to Everest or CPUZ to monitor the CPU temperature.
I tried Everest & PC wizard in WINE but they will not work.

I have just installed the beta version and have run into a few problems. Specs. AMD 64 X2 4600 Foxcon mobo 2 X 1GB 633 Crucial memory 2 X 160 IDE hard drives MSI 7600 Gt graphics card Antec 400W PSU. When I tried to partition the hard drive with Daryna on in the guided section it froze at 50%. So I ...

I have given up and gone back to Celena.
I have spent 2 days trying to resolve this problem so it looks like giving Daryna a miss.
Thanks for your help.

Husse thank you for your reply but when I ran xvidtune and looked in xorg those valuse were already in there. I reinstalled Daryna again and installed the Nvidia drivers and on reboot the same thing happened out of range again. My card is a Nvidia 7600 GT 256mb. I rebooted into the recovery console ...

I have just done a fresh install of Daryna, and if I install the 3D acceleration drivers it asks me to reboot and then before it can boot to the desktop i get a box on the monitor saying input out of range, this only happens with 3D enabled. I have used Bea, Cassandra & Celena and have not had t...

Thanks 900i for answering that question.

Just a quick question.
When there were updates I used to get an orange circle in the task bar, now this has changed to a padlock, is there any reason for that.

I just booted into kernel -15 and removed 16 using synaptic.

Husse, I did not allow risky updates, they came through automatically, so I never checked what they were.

I have Celena set up just how I like it, I switched on the other day and in the taskbar was an open padlock, not having seen this before I clicked on it and it said there was 89 updates to install, so i let it install them without looking what the updates were, (I now I should have had a look), when...

Has anyone had a problem with the download from yalm.eu.?.
I used this as it was the fastest download but it fails the checksum.

The problem is solved.
I always use a CDRW to download to and it seems as if they have gone to the dogs, i have had them for 5 years.
As soon as i put it onto a DVDRW all the problems went.
