Linux Mint Forums

Thank you for the quick response. I have already recreated the partition table with no luck. I think at some point it made me install gpart too. but either way. I have tried multiple angles with now luck. Thumb still shows up as LMDE UP6. Even after I have had "successful" formats to ntfs and fat32....

I tried using imagewriter (which is installed by default) instead of my usual unetbootin. Well, now I have no "write" access to my thumb drive. I have tried reformating but nothing changes. When plugged in the thumb drive says it is "Linux Mint LMDE" but shows no files. It wont even mount after an u...

Yes, the default kernel is the 486. So if you are only running off of the Live then you will only be using the single core. After install, and all updates, go to device driver manager and that is where you can install 686. I am sure there is a way to remastersys an ISO to include the 686 instead of ...

You probably have the 486 kernel. Go to Device Driver Manager and see if there is a 686 kernel available. The scan takes a few minutes before it shows the results. After you update to 686 it will use all cores. (From what I know)

Correct me if I am wrong.

HELP!! I've just learned that my version of Mint (11) became obsolete as of November...this explains why I haven't had any updates since then. I have been advised to install a new version. I can't remember how to do this and since I'm obviously not an expert at this....can someone help me with inst...

Thank you very much XENO. I ran the two codes you posted and was able to take ownership. However, instead of moving them to a home_old folder or anything like that, i just opening up nemo, browsed to the 2nd drive and then selected open in terminal. Everything seems to be working properly. It was we...

I am trying to add the drive to fstab given the directions from the previous mentioned post but it does not seam to work. I am going to post my results and maybe someone could tell me what i need to put in /etc/fstab. I changed the previous topics info from the drive name, and the ntfs to ext4 but k...

I found this topic on this forum: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=110835. But that 2nd drive, is it an external (USB) driver or internal drive? And, if it is an internal drive, is it added to fstab? This is a 2nd internal drive I use for storage. Formated as ext4. Name = "Storage 1...

So I formated a 2nd hard drive via gparted and instantly was unable to read/write to it. I was able to change this with "gksu nemo" and then changing the permissions. No biggy really. I transferred approx 300 gb to the hard drive. After the transferes completed I noticed I was only given the ability...

Thanks for the suggestion I'll give it a go and see if it works, for what it's worth I just tried booting the regular LM14 and it does bott just fine, I think they just haven't implemented that code into the debian version or something like that .. Anyone hear/read whether or not EFI/UEFI support w...

Well, Since nobody else seems to have a similar question I will provide some input that I have found anyways. After further reading on both the LM forum as well as other forums it seems to be that the problem lies within the boot access. Namely, Grub vs EFI. Macintosh uses a form of EFI to boot thei...

will the new ISO based on UP6 be carrying the kernel 3.3?

Hello, I have been using LM09-13 for years on my netbook and PC's but recently I decided to switch my iMac to Linux Mint 13 as well. Everything goes great with the install and works perfectly from live disc, other than having to use an usb wifi dongle to get my wifi to work, but after update I am ab...

Here is the fix for Ubuntu users, do the following. Use dconf-editor and go to org-gnome-desktop-background and tick "Show desktop icons". Not sure if Mint has dconf. Here is the problem, I need to do that every time I turn on the computer. Not the best fix. That sounds like a lot of work. I prefer...

(sorry not a solution) It looks like in your logs, it is asking for authentication. I recently installed MINT13 on two of my computers, networked the folders successfully and sharing the printer from the one. The 2nd computer locates the printer no problem. When I select 'print test page' nothing ha...

GOT IT :D wget http://files.avast.com/files/linux/avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb can update now and log into SPM :mrgreen: all back to normal ... Thanks for the guidance here from all !! :D This didnt work for me for some reason. I still get an...

@d00med
I notice you have both the Katya and the Lisa repos active. If you are on 11 then start by commenting out the Lisa repo.

LMDE Gnome. Acer Aspire One. After upgrade I installed cinnamon-session. After installing cinnamon I rebooted the computer. I was able to select Cinnamon DE from the login screen. Cinnamon took a little longer than usual to load up, but non-the-less it did boot up. A couple things I noticed. As stat...

+ another 1, I def would subscribe

Just an idea here but, I would love to see an ISO for LMDE Cinnamon. I know this is probably an early request given Cinnamon is in early stages of its existance. Anyone else looking for more Debian editions from Mint? Clem and team has done great work making Ubuntu better, but I think the time will ...
