pdc_2, funny, ha? So ironic. You wanna mess with my wife? Be my guest. At this point she backed up all her "necessary" data, and I got Mint 20.2 installed on her computer. Problem was, that without me around (working) she could not start system to back up her data. That's all. Sorry for my...

Guys, we start flooding. My post was about how to repair a Mint 18.3 booting or starting if you prefer, since no one could help me in this matter I don't see any reason to discuss pros and cons of ways to install different Mint releases at this topic. Thank you all for help you gave me.

Ok, for sure I'll backup wife's precious files before I do something with here computer. At least I know the way how start Mint on it, there will be no problem. SMG, there is possibility to upgrade to next Mint release, using GUI application System Upgrade -> edit -> 'Upgade to ...' that is how I up...

Hello, DAMIEN, what do you think about upgrade to LM19, using system upgrade wizard?

Hello, some time ago (2-3 y.) on my wife's computer I installed new Mint18 XFCE. It's AMD A4000 processor on 3GHz with 4GB RAM, AMD built-in graphics, 1TB WD "new" hard drive, 1TB WD "old" hard drive with Mint13, DVD-RW drive. With time passing by, some upgrades came, I installed...

As it is mentioned here there is a scangearmp2 for working with scanner. Only thing they didn't mentioned, that after you installed .deb file, you see it nowhere. Every time you want to scan something you should start it on terminal. Just type there "scangearmp2". Or you can create an icon...

Hi, phd21! It seems like this topic is almost dead. I bumped in such a problem today. My Linux Mint 17.1 doesn't kinda see camcorder Sony DCR-HC85E and of course I can not grab videos from it. Here are my lspci, lsmod, inxi: dais@dais-MS ~ $ lsmod Module Size Used by snd_hrtimer 12648 1 bnep 18895 2...

Hi, daveinuk. I can not download from your link. But scangearmp there has version 3.00, that should be newer and better.

Hello, ElEdwards! Good for you making a progress! I've got a little different situation with my Canon Pixma MG5650. I've fond driver deb packages for my model and installed them. So, my printer side of device is working good. But scanner... There is an application in scanner driver package called sc...

Hello, I have unofficial Linux Mint LXDE 13.2 installed some time ago. Yesterday I wanted to see a .doc file in libre office, but it showed a libre office logo, progress line just started and it stopped and showed me message "The application cannot be started. User installation could not be com...

Ah, never mind. I fixed it by myself. Just removed some hidden files from /home/<users>. Those were restored there also, but conflicted with youre edition.

Good job, Mateusz, but I have a problem. After I installed it on a wifes old box, I made two users my wife and my son, restored backuped data from mint 12 lxde installation, but I can not log in to here and his accounts with passwords I defined. Spec's are: Processor Name AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ Fam...

If you have a WiFi, you can run Kies air application on your SII, it'll give you URL for connection to SII, so you can use a WEB browser for download / upload fotos, files in/out SII, also backuping. Yet, I don't know about flushing firmware.

I liked Gnome2, then XFCE. I looked at LXDE two years ago - it was not good. But half a year ago I found LXDE pretty functional and unbelivebly fast, so with Linux Mint 12 I prefer LXDE.

No, it's not working, something is missing.

Thank you, vanDoom. I'll try this easyK now, just downloaded it.

Yes, I'm using different Linuxes for 5 years or so. About a 2 years I'm using Mints Katya LXDE is the last of 'em. One installation is on my wife's old desktop AMD Athlon 2400+; 512 Mb RAM DDR; ... All seems good, but I hoped, that performance of a system will be faster on such a hardware. So, some ...

I had similar problem. Here is my solution:http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=175&t=80965

O! Finally I got it working! First, I find, that my timidity is working, just I never used it like I should from command line. Mint IRC channel helped me a lot in that (special thanks to oOze). After that I followed mr. remoulder s link to ubuntuforum, did like they said and voila!

Yeeh, I'm tired of looking a remedy for all this. In ubuntuforums case was with timidity working in command line mode, but in my case I can't hear anything running timidity from command line, so all the rest is useless. I read timidity docs and I think, that I know it for sure now. There should be s...
