Re: Office 97 and wine?

I've installed both Office 2007 & 10 onto linux work stations. Playonlinux is fine for 2007 and 2010 went on best through wine by double clicking the setup exe. It may ask for other files to be downloaded to allow it to install.

Re: Linux Mint 20 Reboots instead of Shutdown

A long time ago, I had a similar problem. My simple solution was to enter grub on the reboot, enter the command mode, and type in "halt" followed by return. I helped someone else recently with the same problem, and in their case, the grub/halt method was the only solution that worked. Unt...

Linux Mint 20 Reboots instead of Shutdown

Hello again and happy new year. Over Christmas I decided that Linux Mint 17 on my Acer Aspire 5 could do with updating. I duly installed Mint 20 Cinnamon and fresh installations of my favourite software etc. My problem is that it will not shutdown. Instead it reboots. I have tried "shutdown&quo...

Plex Does Not Allow Access To 2nd Hard Drive (Solved)

The media files are on a second hard drive (internal), which appears to be mounted as I can write to it and copy from it. However, Plex sees the hard drive but does not op...

Samsung C43x Driver

Hello again. I hope everyone is staying well.

I can't find a linux driver for the above model anywhere. I know Samsung sold their printer section to HP in 2017 but again no luck on the HP site.

If anyone could direct me towards a pdd for a Samsung C43x I would be most grateful.

Busybox Inframs

Built a laptop for a friend with Tricia 19 Cinnamon on it. Got the busybox etc screen. Tried to fix it then went for a clean install instead. It's gone belly up again. Is this a sign of a failing hard drive? I do have a new spare one. Should I chuck that in and give it a go?

Cheers, Chris

Cannot delete folders in trash (solved)

I have two folders in my trash which contain mp3 files from my cd's. I cannot delete them. Apparently I don't own the folders or have permission?
