Linux Mint Forums

Hello friends, Yesterday, I installed mint for the first time in UEFI mode. When I boot, I see two options in BIOS. They have exactly same name. So,which one should I boot? My bios is set to uefi only and there is no other os on that hard disk. I do not dual boot. I keep my windows on a separate dri...

I am going to translate mint 13 LTS user guide into two Indian languages.But I found Mint Cinnamon user guide in English nowhere.All of my friends switched to Cinnamon Edition.It seems more stable than MATE edition to all of us.I will have been nice if I do my hard work on Cinnamon edition rather th...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have an Acer 5534 with an AMD Athlon X2 dual core processor with each core running at 1197.00 MHz. My VGA controller is a Mobility Radeon HD 3200 and I use the Nvidia drivers. I ran the last temp test on mint 13 while browsing the web and watching a video...when c...

Moved your post here. I've deduced you can write in at least three languages :wink: Thanks for considering doing this! Translations to other languages are done by volunteers from the community of users, like yourself. You can find information to get you started in this post I made a while ago: http...

How strange. I always thought overheating was more than likely due to CPU fan failure or maybe something like over dried cooling paste. I'd never heard of it connected to an instalation of a, or any, distro. I've only ever encountered that in a desktop when I inadvertantly forgot to apply paste. It...

Which laptop do you have?Please give some details about processor,brand,mobo,graphics card.Did you not notice the sudden change in temperature of laptop and voice of laptop fan before shutdown?I have no experience with LM 14 on my laptop.But I installed Ubuntu 12.10,which is the base for LM 14,for a...

Hi,I want to translate user guide PDF of Mint 13 LTS in two Indian languages.But how can I translate those docs?Whom permission do I need?What software should I use to do the translation?Please try to answer my questions ASAP.

When I mount a drive,it is automatically opened by nautilus.That is fine.But an annoying Gnome 3 box opens and says open with files or eject.How to stop this.See image for more clarification.

Well I meant D drive is for sharing data files(images,videos) of windows 7 with Mint as Mint can read ntfs but windows cannot read ext4 or other linux filesystem(at least not without any kind of software).If you created a big C drive and store all data files in My Documents ,then it is a different c...

Well ubuntu is catching up windows in every department.See how similar is the Unity bloatware to window taskbar aligned to left.

You should see it along with your mouse properties.I did not said it would disable the touchpad.But it is the most correct driver for alps.Is there any hardware switch or BIOS option in your laptop?If there is no hardware switch,try this: Install Touchpad indicator ,works on ubuntu 11.10,should work...

Click on speaker icon on top right.Click on pause button to stop it.

I know it is a common phrase.But how would you tell it's a question or tip.Give some hint that it is a tip.

Chromium is not stable.It has same privacy problems as Chrome.You don't know which version of it was picked by Google for Chrome.It is not updated as frequently as Chrome.It is still v14 in ubuntu repos,even Iron as jumped to v15.Iron is made by polishing Chrome and removing Google crapware.That is ...

check this:

I think it must have been shipped with Windows.Alps only supplies windows drivers and does not give enough information to Linux so that we can write any program for it.I have a Vaio laptop with same touchpad.I have to keep shipped windows 7 installed to turn it off.There is a driver you can install....

Well I am not a big fan of Chrome.But if you still are in love with it,I will recommend you srware iron.Yes,people will say it is updated very late.But Google chrome updates are of no use when Google is tracking you like a spyware.Besides there are no problems with every update.Chrome runs so many b...

There is no solution to this.If you want windows like button then you will not get super+shortcuts.This is getting worse in Mint 12 as Gnome 3 is default Desktop.But you can change shortcut for show desktop.

Don't give title a question like name.It appeared as if you were asking a question.If you are giving tips,then don't start with how to.

This is strange.I have not seen such things happen in my knowledge.
