Linux Mint Forums

As the subject suggests....get-iplayer seems have vanished. Is there anyway to install it?

@ deepakdeshp sorry to be a bearer of bad news, but I tried on my old laptop to use live usb, everything worked fine. Installed Linux, and wifi dropped randomly, good way to test but no 100% guarantee

Shouldn't be a problem, I have several, one I used only today to transfer files was FAT32, no issue on windows or Linux, must be another issue. Can you see the drive in GParted?

FWIW, coming in a little late on this discussion, I have recorded vinyl via the amp headphone connection to my laptop and used audacity, works a charm. I tend to be lazy and let the whole side record, then edit it into separate tacks, again using audacity I tend to save as flac and if required for t...

A a very friendly community it is here, everyone willing to help as they've been helped in the past
Hope you enjoy your adventure in Linux Mint

FWIW, for ripping I use K3B, but it's a bit overkill for just ripping CD's
A|nd, converted me to Asunder (pardon the pun) looks OK, will try it out some more

soundconverter works for me, it's in the repos

Tried Win10 before coming back to Mint, found that 10 updates could literally freeze the machine until complete, not good. Mint just rocks

FWIW, I migrated from Thunderbird as it 'lost' my passwords. When I setup Evolution, all I did for gmail was to enter my gmail address and it went off and sorted everything else out, only thing I then needed was to enter password on first run Not sure if anyone here can shed any light on the changin...

You could also try Lubuntu (peppermint is based on it)
It has even less system requirements

Welcome War Horse, hope you enjoy Mint as much as everyone here

Hey Buddy, it's all there so no problem. But thanks for the pointer, didn't know which package(s) to look for so couldn't easily check
Again thanks for the help

Thanks xenopeek, I don't get that option in First Steps
But, I went into the software manager and searched for mint-meta-codecs and apparently it's already installed
Result

This isn't stupid, but may be a little dumb
Under Ubuntu / Xubuntu (when I used them) one of the first things i did was install the relevant restricted-extras, but there isn't one for Mint. Can I use Ubuntu as Mint is based on that (much slicker though)

Nah, he's already claimed there's no data, so wouldn't be an issue..

"No sensitive data".

Then he needs to do what I first suggested, fire up a live session and back it up

Sorry buddy, missed that one important word my bad

Try installing Mint onto the whole drive

Don't try this at home if there's important data on the drive.

Nah, he's already claimed there's no data, so wouldn't be an issue..

BTW, have you tried booting windows in safe mode?

If you can, open a terminal as administrator (search for terminal, then right click run as) then run sfc /scannow

Try installing Mint onto the whole drive, you'll know fairly quickly, unles you have a burning need for Windows

If there's no data, and you're sure the hdd is bust (I wouldn't be though) then stop wasting time on it and replace, as absque fenestris said new sdd are not expensive
