Re: Desktop Freezes Randomly
I've been searching for more than a year for a solid clue as to what is causing my random desktop freezes. Nothing in system logs, no "panic" messages, have to hit reset. It always occurs just as a mouse selection or mouse motion or screen change. (naturally one tends to be in a browser wh...

Re: linux mint dist upgrade (12 to 13) problem

Re: can't reinstall gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
resolution of my zombie libavcodec52 problem (which kept insisting to be part of an dist-upgrade that it couldn't complete - "..have been kept back") the solution was that libmjpegtools-1.9, of all things, had its toe on a libavcodec52 dependency which i managed to miss. soo... finally a m...

Re: LMDE BREAKAGES - tracking Testing - read here first-6/o
