Hi.

I just installed LM on a Dell Laptop.

The installation worked. Next, I went to driver updates. It recommended a new graphics driver.

It installed it and restarted. Now I just have a black screen.

I don't even know what version it was or anything (I think it was nvidia). How do I fix this?

Anyway. I finally got it working.

The next thing I did was go to the driver updater. It installed a new recommended GPU driver. Now, every time I load LM, I just get a black screen.

Glad I didn't get rid of Windows yet.

I let LM manage the install process. It looks like it installed LM on my small 32GB SSD. I would rather have it on the same large drive where Windows is. Is there a way to uninstall and start over? Edit: I have 2 disks - 500gb with windows on it - 32gb with linux on it In BIOS, if I select the small...

Hi I just installed LM on a Dell laptop beside Win 10. When I turn the computer on, it goes straight to Windows. I followed the guide, went back into live version, opened a terminal and typed sudo efibootmgr. It says EFI variables are not supported. What can I do now to load LM without losing windows?

How do you make the flash drive bootable?

Is there a CD version I can download if I don't have a dvd burner and want to install Mint?

Thanks.

I'm continually impressed by how user friendly Mint is. Even the upgrade process looks simple!

Rather, how can I upgrade to the new version of mint?

And so how do I fix it?

Hi, Every time I press 'refresh' in the update manager I get the following message: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. After I press close, it says ...

Yep, that was it! Thanks.

My display goes to sleep after a few minutes of activity and I have to type in my complicated password every time to wake it up. It's driving me insane. I have changed the power settings to tell the system to go to sleep after 1hr when it's running on the power adapter. Apparently this setting doesn...

Umm weird.

Even though it's not enabled, I can still set up a shared folder in nautilus, and I can see it from my windows computer. However, I cannot log into it. The username and password for my linux mint machine doesn't let me log into the share.

What is going on?

If I go to Preferences > Personal File Sharing, it doesn't let me enable it because it says the right packages are not installed. What packages do I need to install?

Thanks

Never mind. I figured it out.

I had to install openssh-server, which for some reason didn't come preinstalled.

Hi I am trying to get NX Server running on my new Linux Mint machine so I can access it from other computers. I installed the NX client, node, and server from the NoMachine website. Now I am trying to connect to it from another machine on my local network, but each time it says "connection refu...

Works great!

Thanks again!

Let me try.

Just a question on syntax, what is the ./ for in the above command?

Ah you answered me while I was busy making this post

Thanks I'll try it.
