I feel as of I'm almost there. The permissions seem to work but I still do not have a taskbar and a window manager. Do you have the taskbar, etc when you log in as a different user? Yes I have, actually the idea of deepakdeshp is great! When I created a new user, everything is/was working fine exce...

sudo chown -R anon:anon /home/anon If there is any permissioms problem this command will change all files under your home directory with anon as the owner. I feel as of I'm almost there. The permissions seem to work but I still do not have a taskbar and a window manager. If I press ctrl+alt+f2 then...

Hi all, I would like to scream... What is happening... I lost my /home/<username>/ directory. As far as I know I did nothing wrong and never used an command or whatever to remove the folder. What is happening now? Now I can't login (folder does not exist)... I have now running the live cd (or rather...

I have the same problem... Only I have not a notebook (Actually I do but not a Dell) nor a Hell... Uh... Dell. Disable IPV6 works only temporary. After a while it is coming back... I'm testing Mint 18 KDE BETA at the moment but since it contains the same my hope on better networking is slim... [edit...

Go into Network Manager and change IPv6 seting to ignore and see if that fixes the issue, your syslog says ClamAV is outdated There is an alternative to the kernel module for your ethernet card, it is called r8168-dkms and is available on the repos Whoopsie, forgot about that. This was a problem ea...

Post the result of lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net Hopefully it is a simple driver issue I hope so too but that has almost never the issue.

Hi all, Since this install of Mint 18 I have problems with my internet. It seems the IPv4 gets lost. Normally when I do a "ifconfig" then I see this: enp2s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 1c:6f:65:2d:f1:c6 inet addr:192.168.178.12 Bcast:192.168.178.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: 2001:1c01:1501:7400:...

Actually, i have read in the past that installing a DE on top of a server is bad because you open up vulnerabilities.

But you have a point there, a server is likely a target for an hacker.

I will read you link as it contains much info and i could learn from it, thanks!

I disagree here. Windows very much deciding your choices is a "BIG GOING ON". Servers traditionally don't have desktops. I only play LOL (League Of Legends) on windows and have contact with a friend during these games since we play together. Things like e-mail and such I check on my mobile during t...

Hi all, I have a non technical question about the desktop and / or server. Right now I have this setup: Ubuntu server 16.04 with https and owncloud in dual boot with windows 10 In windows 10 I play only games so nothing big going on there. But then the ubuntu server. I would like to work once and a ...

Thank you! It is solved.

But how does this work? I assumed it was apt but the interface is not perfect. And more important, why is it happening?

Many thanks again!

Hi Karlchen, Virtualbox was running fine. However I had to reboot and forgot the running machines. They won't start normal, they are stuck at creating a session. I was troubleshooting it when the cli thing happend :(. Anyway back to the current problem: I have executed the mintinstall command with s...

Hi all,

I would not know how to describe this but the following isn't working. Also the software center isn't working. Can this be solved? I had not had this previously...

Thank you in advance

I did test it and when I'm not logged in it happens again and if I leave for too long then it will happen again.

I do not know about Mint KDE sleep function but I have Mint KDE installed on a ssd drive.

I hit my keyboard with the enter button or space bar. Normally it would come out of stand-by/hibernation... IF that were the case...

I will try again but this time with your suggestion. However I think I did this already...

Hi all, I do not know if this is a bug or not but this is happening. When I leave the computer, the screen dims down. Now yesterday I had to go for shopping which is more than 40 min, so after 30 minutes the screen goes from 100% to 50% and so on. So I came back and wanted to reactivate the screen b...

I don't want to poke anything or bear but if you want a dual boot you can also try easyBCD from NeoSmart. I say this because I had this problem. I wanted to install an update of Windows 7 which did not work. After some long research I found out that one of the updates needs the bootloader of windows...

Maybe this helps too:
