Thanks. It almost worked! I'm glad you found that, I did a Google search and nothing came up. Not sure how you found that article - but, thanks! Unfortunately, it didn't work after following all the instructions. But, for whatever reason I installed mysql-client right after and then it worked. Also ...

Hi, I installed phpmyadmin and when I tried to access it via: localhost/phpmyadmin, this is what I got: addJSON( 'list', RecentFavoriteTable::getInstance('recent')->getHtmlList() ); exit; } if ($GLOBALS['PMA_Config']->isGitRevision()) { if (isset($_REQUEST['git_revision']) && $GLOBALS['is_aj...

I wish it was as easy as you posted! I was quite excited. So, when I got to the menu, I went to advanced and I got 3 options, LMDE 2 64-bit (AMD), LMDE 2 64-bit (systemd), and LMDE2 64-bit (recovery). I'm not 100% sure if the options were exactly as I wrote. Since recovery looked like a logical opti...

Hi, I updated the kernel recently and it made my computer painfully slow. Luckily I have Windows 7 installed as well so I'm using that now. I'm pretty sure it's the kernel update. I actually updated all the programs except the kernel and my computer worked fine. Later on, I updated the kernel and no...

the /var/log/auth.log just says: sshd[6198]: refused connect from ::1 (::1) The message is pretty clear, sshd refused the connection from localhost ::1 ipv6 address, have you changed the default /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow files content ? OMG, I forgot about that! I didn't know about those...

the /var/log/auth.log just says: sshd[6198]: refused connect from ::1 (::1) - when I used the command: ssh localhost I also tried user@<ip address> and the log would say: sshd[6089]: refused connect from <ip address> (<ip address>) This is after a purge and re-install of openssh-server and deleting ...

You shouldn't edit that file. but rather ~/.ssh/config and here's mine. I had time out issues years ago, this fixed it. Host * ServerAliveInterval 120 ServerAliveCountMax 30 ConnectTimeout 30 UseRoaming no in my ~/.ssh/config Have fun. This didn't do it, but, it's giving me an idea about how to fix...

Connect to remote host in verbose mode to diagnose the problem: ssh -v remote.host.name or ssh -v username@remote.host.name I'm getting the message: OpenSSH_6.7p1 Debian-5+deb8u3, OpenSSL 1.0.1t 3 May 2016 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/<username>/.ssh/config debug1: /home/<username>/.ssh...

I can't seem to get my ssh working. I keep getting a connection reset by peer message when testing ssh. I was following the directions in: https://wiki.debian.org/SSH Just wondering though after looking at my ssh_config file. Can someone confirm if these options are supposed to be commented out? Am ...

When I try to re-install samba via Synaptic, I get this message: E: Internal Error, No file name for samba:amd64 samba nmbd log: [2016/07/08 09:41:10, 0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd....

can you update the first post, to include partition sizes, as well ?. actually did help another user to dual_boot, after deleting that recovery partition - sda3. - use the inbuilt tool to make some recovery disks, first. it's usually a win boot disk & three system disks, for a total of four dvd...

This great info to know. Thanks for the replies. Luckily I was able to login. Although this made me realize, I was missing this part of my personal data for backups.

Regarding Virtualbox, if I install it and install Windows in there, can Windows be saved on a separate drive or partition?

The reason I ask is that in case I want to re-install Linux, I don't want it to blow away my Windows too, which takes way longer to install.

Thanks to the last post. Because of the overscan and continuing to google about it with other keywords, I figured it out. No re-install needed (which means my Citrix still won't work - dilemma's :) Anyways, I installed the ATI/Radeon control panel and in Display Manager > HDTV > Predefined and Custo...

This is really unfortunate. It's quite annoying to work with the desktop edges off the screen. I guess I'll have to re-install 8.2, then update everything except the video drivers. Seems like a lot, but, I had issues with my Citrix after installing Teamviewer. Purging Teamviewer and re-installing Ci...

Perfect, thanks.

I can see that my flgrx driver was updated. That's probably what caused the issue.

Can you tell me how I can roll it back?

A week ago or maybe two, there was an update and a lot of applications were upgraded. After that, my desktop size became bigger than my physical screen and I can't see the edges. Not sure if anyone remembers this update. But, is there a way to find out what was in that update so I can try and figure...

Wow, so easy! All I had to do was remove it (or move it as you suggested).

Now I just need to figure out why my desktop is bigger than my physical screen all of a sudden.

Thanks.

I can't login to my desktop. But, I need to backup my MySQL Server databases. I know how to login using a bootable Linux distro. Can I back them up by copying them? Usually, I go to phpmyadmin to export them to a .sql file and back them up, but, since I can't login, how can I back them up now?
