Reason: Changed title from Success installing nvidia Mint xfce 9.2 to Success installing nvidia Mint xfce 19.2 since it is 19.2

I have read several people with problems and hope this helps out. I looked around, did some searches and found no real solutions to installing nvidia. So I trusted Mint for the solution. Opening mintinstall I found the version 340, installed it and then the nvidia x server settings. Below are my spe...

Hi Beardedragon,

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

There are a couple of tests you can run on microcode vulnerabilities and updates.

Hope this helps ...

Thanks, I got this covered.

Thanks, marked Solved.

I just installed the update and I wonder if there is any test to see if it worked? This is the latest problem and I had seen mention of it when upgrading, never understood what it means. To see what microcode revision your system is using. dmesg | grep microcode e.g. in my output (procesor is a i5-...

So crunchbang is dead. Have you guys gone back to LM or using something else? Personally I moved from Saline, which died, to Manjaro. They have Xfce and KDE as main desktops plus options to add other desktops later. It is a rolling update system with Stable, Testing and Unstable updates, your choic...

Found solution here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia For me it was just install nvidia 331 and reboot. Now have the following Hardware list: [bob@Lenovo-K450e ~]$ inxi -Fxz System: Host: Lenovo-K450e Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 (64 bit, gcc: 4.8.2) Desktop: Xfce 4.11....

That's why I asked here. Help !

So, which nvidia driver should I use?

You are correct, sorry for the misprint. The OP will still need a GUI.

You are just missing a GUI (Graphical User Interface) I suggest "xine," you can find it in Synaptic Package Manager. The application will look for your hardware when you start it up, so be sure the scanner is on and plugged into your USB port.

Did you install Mint 15 before or after changing to the ATI Card? My HP came with ATI Radeon HD3000 and I did not even need a proprietary driver when I installed Mint 15. You get the 3D by running the Compositor, either Gnome or Xfce.

In my recent #7 upgrade I began from scratch. Using the Cinnamon version I did a simple upgrade, then added Xfce Desktop and goodies etc. Then using the instructions to get the Update Pack from the Linux Mint instructions I ran it under the Xfce Desktop. May sound confusing but I just decided to use...

Try GIMP. It can not only resize but export in any format you choose.

In a word "No." There are too many old and new graphic cards and drivers to get one to work for all of them.

+1 I concur. Site down.

Has anyone even read all of both posts? It's all Debian. Just two different releases, Testing and Stable. I think you just want to stir things up because you don't have a life. Unfortunately, I read all of it. I'm retired and Forums are my life, yuk yuk yuk!

I'm looking forward to installing it. :D Been there, done that. You can still install Xfce 4.10 Desktop on Linux Mint 15. Just remember some of the things like Gnome terminal will not work so be sure to install XFCE-Goodies. Change at login and it will ask you if you want Xfce for your Default Desk...

Henry Ford once said that you can have any color you want as long as it's Black. LOL Look at them now.
