Welcome to Mint Please read the simple rules in the link in the red box on top of the page If it takes six minutes to boot there is definitely something wrong and probably with the live CD/DVD Did you check the md5sum and burned slowly? But if it works fine once booted - should I understand you that...

Thanks for this
Can you imagine how often I might have struggled with not working wifi because of something like this - I can't....

You forgot about /etc/passwd Your user is stored there (well not the user himself :) - I discovered the ambiguity right after I typed) Some references http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/understanding-etcpasswd-file-format/ http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/networking/puis/ch04_01.htm http://www.yolinux.com/TU...

I must confess that "long ago" I used to have RAID1 in Win98 and later WinXP Then I discovered that new motherboards were useless - RAID 1 worked, but it was (is?) impossible to use the not failed disk in a disk crash to build a new RAID because building a new RAID destroys all data on both disks Oh...

Will come back to you

I doubt I get much further, and I know you are not alone with these small, but annoying, interrupts

No need to be upset...
I'm grateful for all help and you are a knowledgeable person
Just skim the topic....
I occasionally answer a bit in the blue as well because I don't have the time to read everything

What's in your answer has already been dealt with
The problem is to automount at boot time

Which version exactly of Mint?

To be honest I've never seen a report about this before Searching the forum for zombie+mintmenu finds two topics where a process started by mintMenu becomes zombie but none where mintMenu itself becomes zombie Zombies are not that much of a problem especially if the zombie process has N/A associated...

This is the same as this post- only you call it Internet security now and wireless security there
The question and the answer is the same, if you need more help ask in the other topic
Please don't crosspost

I have yet not seen a laptop that does not have some sort of on/off switch for the wifi
You have to find that and switch off the internal or use it
Does the internal wifi work? You are not clear on that

I suppose you use grub2 (and you do, unless you have upgraded) and it's still new and unfamiliar I've found what probably is the solution, but in a Catch 22 manner you need to boot to make it work when I ran a live cd and looked at it with partition editor that my mint and swap partitions no longer ...

Automount at boot - could this be the solution?

That looks OK I see [ 22.555838] cx88[0]/2-bb: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not initialized or corrupted but just a little bit later [ 25.449640] cx88[0]/2-bb: Firmware upload successful. I cannot find anything useful about mailbox pointer so I think it's OK Now please enlighten me on the present...

Sorry for the late answer - I must give other duties priority for a while I got 'GRUB loading. error: no such disk' - but I don't understand WHY. Mint wasn't installed onto the hard drive to begin with, and this message appears regardless of whether the flash card is in the slot or not. This means t...

Here perhaps?
