Yes, I did... no luck

updates: I have double (triple) checked the syntax in fstab, even deleting the row at all and rewriting a couple of times, even copying and pasting the text from the (successful) command from the CLI... no luck the fstab line MUST be correct, otherwise it should not work both with the implicit "...

hi everyone I have a very strange problem: in my fstab there are a number of lines referring to smb servers, all with the same structure: //192.168.1.2/data2 /mntpoint2 cifs vers=2.0,noauto,credentials=/etc/.xxx,uid=1000,user 0 0 //192.168.1.3/data3 /mntpoint3 cifs vers=2.0,noauto,credentials=/etc/....

hi all since a few weeks, i'm experiencing an erratic behaviour of my system: sometimes (mostly on double-clicking on a filename in the filemanager, but sometimes on other actions, or even doing nothing) the system logs out from my session, and in a few seconds returns to the login screen, exactly a...

updated: --installed sgfxi, and reinstalled free radeon drivers through it --i've obtained this: --"board1" shows the same content "desktop X" on monitors A and B --"board2" shows the same content "desktop Y" on monitors C and D -- mouse movable between deskto...

ehmmm any other idea out there?? sorry.o to disturb, but i'm really blocked in this way

update: i'm still laughing.... 6 hours trying to get the system working, and practically i obtained all the possible combinations you can have with 4 monitors: 1, 2, 3 or 4 working, cloned or extended, 2 on the same video board, or 1 on a video board and 1 on the other, reversed, upside down....EVER...

Don't panic too early, especially when you have a current problem and a possible solution for it. :) :D especially when i've another pc to work with :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: anyway... unfortunately i skipped the step with clonezilla... so i've a system that is working with only two "clone...

@killer de bug: you are right: what i meant is that with the new kernel the only way to have a X running was to delete the xorg.conf, using the default vesa modes .. but no way to have fglrx drivers working... @kurotsugi: yes, i'm running LMDE (everything as in my signature) actually, i didn't check...

yes, but there are plenty of warnings, on the net, that legacy catalyst drivers do not work with the latest X versions ...and with X-provided drivers, i'm not able to have the 4 monitors working in xinerama mode (tried on a different partition with Linux Mint Nadia 14) so, it seems i'm stuck to old ...

hi all today i did an upgrade of my lmde having had problems in the passt with my 4-screen set-up + old ATI cards, i searched before in the net for warning, known issues... for example i found that my legacy catalyst drivers would not work with X ver 1.13 therefore, in the upgrade window, i deselect...

hi graeme in my little experience (i'm not a geek nor a newbie) it is not so different for other self-claiming "easy" distribution... some skill in the comman line interface helps, nevertheless the only thing is annoying each time i upgrade is the management of my multi-monitor settings (m...

sorry.. i missed your last sentence....

so i searched a bit in the intalled packages, then i tried to run and it works!!!

tnx for the suggestion!!!!!

yes, i'm using a xfce desktop

i've again a problem that in the previous installation i knew how to solve... but now this workaround does not work anymore the problem is: at a certain point (no way to replicate the bug....), at the system boot, everything seems to work fine, BUT any apllication you want to open shows in the leftm...

mmmh.. seems not my case: the number shown in the system monitor is equivalent to the "-/+ buffers/cache" of the "free" command once the physical 4GB are full, the swap start to be used, and the system slows down, actually....even if no application is running ...but i will contin...

good evening to all my issue, this time, relates to an anomalous memory consumption on my system: after a few times, i monitored it via the system monitor app, and discovered the following: at system started (Xfce included), the system need about 800MB at firefox start, it raises at about 1.2GB duri...

thanks to all your posts, i've been able to solve this issue yes, the problem was nautilus, putting its hands on the desktop...: for just a second at the X boot, the customized backgrounds are on, and the next moment they revert to the default... AND in the meantime a nautilus windows appears i've t...

mmmh... sorry, perhaps i missed something on your post, jaythomas ... my english is not so fluent... so, can you explain again step by step?
tnx
