Anyways, I hard LMDE does not support Optimus NVIDIA cards? Someone on IRC told me to use Bumblebee... I tried what I could understand about the tutorial, but even after installing stuff and all that... It still didn't work! D: So could someone please better explain to me how to install Optimus/Bum...

It should run smoothly but...

HP recommends Windows® 7.

With Linux in mind I would pick something without hybrid graphics...
Performance and efficiency will be far superior running windows .

Updating seems to do that? On a new install there's no memtest entries whatsoever...

Forget it... Gamer's wont switch to a free OS to play those ancient source games.. L4D2 is well designed and quite fun but source already felt dated back when it came out. Announcing steam for Linux with such an old game is just sad. I'd be impressed if they announced Half Life 3 on a brand spanking...

Are you using a live DVD literally.. I mean have you tried with a pen too?
If you install the last version that ran and simply update it you should be good to go?

They identify mint because they are green but they do look a bit old and out of place compared to everything else, its just an opinion.

Maybe it was dangerous at some point, seems fine to me now. I just find it strange that after formatting partitions and installing from scratch the system had that much junk in it.. its a considerable amount of space too, the number of the beast .

edit: thanks for the tip squeezy.

Hmm... troll@lair ~ $ inxi -G Graphics: Card nVidia GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] X.Org 1.11.4 Res: 1680x1050@60.0hz GLX Renderer Gallium 0.4 on NVC4 GLX Version 2.1 Mesa 7.11.2 I don't know what the F is that (Gallium??), all I know is that I have some screen corruption.. and I thought LMDE shipped with ...

How much does bleachbit clean from your system after a fresh install? I noticed how it always wiped more junk the first time I ran it so today decided that it would be the first app to install and run after formatting and installing LMDE 201204 on a desktop. Selected all options except memory and it...

I use the one that comes with LMDE currently but if stuck on windows unetbootin works, it worked the last time I tried it.i

What do you use, what do you recommend and what not...

I believe everyone uses a pen drive these days... there is no point burning disks anymore. Unetbootin works on both windows and Linux but there's also something out there called pendrivelinux or something like that. Once your LMDE is installed you have an image writer by default along with backup to...

Maybe your drive has seen better days, try from a USB stick instead?

Those instructions were for an empty drive, you don't setup a boot partition when you dual boot with Windows. After you setup the partitions in gparted you have to click apply or whatever it is for changes to take effect, then back at the installer you refresh and select where to put the swap, root ...

Three letters, the first is a u, the second a f... can you guess the third one?
Oh man I went through folders and conf's and.. grrr.

Thank you very much for your help altair .

Actually I'm not even sure if it was the firewall....

Its a fresh UP4 final install... the laptop is the RC but everything is updated, the error probably has something to do with the UI... but like I said all the options are ticked, everything matches.

In Debian Mint ( at least the XFCE version ) Samba is pretty much broken by default so you should have done this first: sudo apt-get install libsmbclient sudo apt-get install smbclient sudo apt-get install python-smbc Then edit smb.conf as root: gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf Add the following line...

I believe I had it working in the RC, I only tried it once since I have a single account. I think you found a bug.

I'll keep talking to myself and see where that gets me... and I'll go editing this post along the way. For starters I tried using the 2 comps running LMDE. I've found this old topic >> http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=28397 Changing settings in CUPS interface (localhost:631) give...
