Re: gigabyte gc-wb867d-i wifi nic
Hi, Most wifi adapters don't need a Windows driver/ndiswrapper. That is mostly a last resort, for a few weird devices. (In the past it was used more, many old posts about it are found on the web.) Usually there is a Linux driver available for the device, even if the manufacturer doesn't have it on i...

Re: TRIM without AHCI in Linux Mint
I have not been clear, I see. The hdparm command which I mentioned should be sufficient to check whether TRIM is accessible, as it queries libata. It won't be able to detect any options that the SATA controller is messing with, as you can't bypass said controller from software.

Re: TRIM without AHCI in Linux Mint
In the past automatic TRIM was disabled on some configurations, but in Mint 18/19 it is done weekly on all hardware that supports it. You can check the capabilities of the disk using hdparm in terminal: sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep TRIM Replace /dev/sda by the name of your disk: you can find it by...

Re: HDMI port broken. What about USB to HDMI adapter?
I don't know what pipes are in this case, but yes, many GPUs are physically limited to 2 or 3 screens (3 on modern Intel hardware, 2 in the past. Some AMD hardware can drive up to 6.) EDIT: GPU engineers seem to call this 'pipe' a CRTC and you can see which of them can drive which ports using: xrand...

Re: HDMI port broken. What about USB to HDMI adapter?
It's most likely a DisplayLink device. Just search on the forum for DisplayLink and you'll see a fair number of users reporting trouble, so I'd advise against it unless you have no other option. VGA to HDMI or DisplayPort to HDMI converters are generally better & don't need any drivers. A notabl...

Re: Installing Mint on M.2 SATA 3? Is this possible? Is there any advice you can give?
And even if it weren't possible - Linux is very flexible in this, you can put a /boot partition containing the bootloader & kernel image (doesn't need to be more than 1GB) on any medium which your computer can boot from. Your root partition can then be on any disk recognised by Linux and doesn't...

Re: Any Displayport 1.2 MST Hubs Known to Work With Linux/Mint?
MST typically works fine on Linux - depending on the GPU in your computer. I have an Intel GPU in my ThinkPad laptop and a ThinkPad USB-C Dock, which includes an MST hub. I have not connected a second monitor to it yet, but I know other people have done that with the same dock & GPU and that wor...

Re: Deactivate touchpad whenever a mouse is plugged in?
I think that this solution is for other desktops ^. On MATE, gsettings is called mateconf. Also, the schemes that come with MATE start with 'org.mate' instead of 'org.gnome'. A quick DuckDuckGo search seems to indicate, that mateconf has a scheme called org.mate.desktop.peripherals.touchpad. However...

Re: I have IPv6 on machine but not on Firefox or Chrome
What is the IPv6 address you get? If it starts with fe80, then it is a local address which can only be used to communicate with other devices in your local network. Many routers assign addresses like that when there is no IPv6 service from the ISP. In my previous home I had a Ubee router (from Ziggo...

Re: Linux Mint(17.1) only my wifi network is not visible.
If channel 13 was forbidden, it could also be due to regulatory settings. Your card might default to a different country, either because of driver issues (as Pjotr said) or because the card was sold in a different country. To correct this, see for instance: https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/settin...

I'm currently running Mint on a 2006 laptop, and have helped some other users run Mint on such a laptop as well. Works fine, actually.
