I have a couple of machines with Linuxmint 17.1 and for some reason, apt-get install apache2 get different result. In the newly installed Linuxmint, the command get a working apache2 v2.4.7 which see the test page correctly. It has a /etc/apache2 with all conf files, mods and default sites. The othe...

Such is the wire question and no wonder it looks like I am talking to myself as no one reply. In any case, I have found the reason and solution. Hope such info would be useful to some. The reason it wil in "running" state all the time when >/dev/null is added is that, since there is no scr...

Further trial and error, I found that the cause is the " program > /dev/null " instuction. My undertanding was that we output to screen while debugging and use "program > /dev/null &" to make it run at background with all output sent to /dev/null. However the > /dev/null woul...

I have a program, called avergate, written in C that use select to monitor the incoming signal from stdin, RS232, TCP/IP or Linux pipe. when I started the program with : nice -n 10 avergate the system monitor tool would show it sleeping most of the time, and running when there is an activity, that i...

Much appreciated and thanks. I shall try once I reinstall the system. I was under the impression (wishful thinking!) that anything from apt-get install would be compatiable with the system but the apt-get install dogecoin-gt gave me a lot of trouble. I noted that it invokes a lot of dpkg package ins...

Thank for advice. I do use rsync to backup /home to an external drive but never thought of back up the system. Just to understand the nature of backup. am I suppose to rysnc the entire file system from / , and in the event of re-install, one could rsync back the entire system, so that the applicatio...

I have a Linuxmint Maya 13 working very nicely until I try to install this dogecoin-qt command that recommended from web search: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwayne18/doge which give the output: gpg: requesting key 90B0D90F from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: key 90B0D90F: "Launchpad PPA f...

I am using an Acer Notebook with an Intel I7 8 core cpu running Linuxmint Maya 13. I am researching into a topic of the efficiency of mining cyber curreny like litecoin / bitcoin and the power consumption. My question is how to measure the acutal power usage of a machine over a period of time. My No...

Just for the benefit of someone may experience this rather silly problem. The disappearing of the program when the winodw minimize icon is click is due to the lost of the "window list". Thus my whole nightmare was solved by simply in the "add panel" to the bottom panel and add th...

Hi, Xenopeek, " panel error You write of a second problem where you can't add mintMenu to the panel. Just to be clear; you can only ever have 1 mintMenu on your panels. So if you already have it there, or have a second panel with already the mintMenu, you will be getting this error. If that isn...

Thank for reply. I can confirm that the program like pluma start and work normally; the problem happened only when I need to minimize by click the minus icon. One can actually see the program quickly minimizing and disappear to the right side of the bottom panel but not the normal small icon that on...

I submit a question "Can not mininize window" and still waiting for anyone who may be able to help. The symptom is that when I click minimize icon, the program got closed instead of minimized. Meanwhile I noted that the Mate window minimize icon is mapped to Alt-F9. So, I test by start up ...

The symptom is when I click the minimize icon in any opened program window, like LibreOffice Calc or a Firefox browser, the program disappear all together as if it is closed, instead of the normal minimize to bottom panel bar which can be click and continue the work. I used Linuxmint 13 Mate on a 64...

I have installed Mint v15 and after reboot, I also found that the wifi network was not responding. The wifi is connected ok and the immediate thought was the routing issue. By trial and error, I found that in the setting of IP6, it is necessat to set Link to Local and somehow it started to work! As ...
