I'm assuming your using some kind of router using a DHCP service with your DSL equipment. Your computer may be looking for it's old DCHP lease which is no longer there. Open a terminal and type this to remove the old information sudo dhclient -r and then to try and get a new lease sudo dhclient eth0...

OK, now I get you. It's been a while since I did something like that.

It maybe easer to install the packages you want off the disk using Gdebi though.

Yes, it is possible with no guarantees of what will happen if you use them, nor have I tried this in a while, no need to. What you have there is the code for a local repo(stored on your machine). If you want the ones off the Internet you need something like... deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable ...

To add directories to your PATH you can add them to your .bashrc. for example you can add PATH=$PATH:/home/[username]/python/userlib. I also want to make python scripts in /home/[username]/python/bin executable from anywhere within my filesystem without having to type the full directory name. How do...

Oops, sorry about that, add the line "PYTHONPATH=/usr/bin/python" to the file .bashrc and if the file isn't there just create it. And I was told to use "#! /usr/bin/env python" rather than "#! usr/bin/python". Why is the latter better? Not sure about the first one? I'm not a python expert but that m...

Open your .profile file in your home directory with a text editor. Use View->Show Hidden Files if you have to. Add the line "PYTHONPATH=/usr/bin/python" to the file (don't use quotes). Save, logout, login again and it will be there. One other thing, you can add "#!/usr/bin/python" (don't use quotes)...

Well, there are a couple options I can think of and all come with risk. 1. Temporarily add a newer Ubuntu repo (i.e. raring) and update your kernel and maybe grub but that's it. Then remove the repo. This shouldn't break anything and if it does, you can set grub to boot into your old kernel again. I...

My basic C coding is rusty but it looks like you are declaring variable c as data type int and using/comparing it to data type string or char array. Dumb it down and change all your "strings" to numbers. for example printf("Command: must be a nuber :"); scanf("%d", &c); ..... if (c=1) { printf("File...

Yes or you can use geany. It's a nice, easy to use IDE.

Try what I suggested here [url=http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=143297]viewtopic.php?f=90&t=143297[/url] bottom post.

Something is messed up with synaptic and mint I think.

I was able to do it but it took a few tries and this is what I did. This system is Mint only. 1. Partition the drive the way you want using a GPT partition table and make sure you have efi partition formatted to fat 32. My drive is part 1 efi fat 32 part 2 / ext4 part 3 /swap part 4 /home ext4 2. Tu...

To check the hash of the downloaded file on Linux you can open a terminal, cd to the directory of the file, and enter md5sum myfilename.iso or you can install GtkHash and use that if you want to use a GUI application. The program is pretty much self explanatory. To check the .iso file in windows you...

The sound is a little grainy but other than that no problems. It's been a while since I played a Mega Man game, thanks.

You mean like
or are looking for something else?

I went to your site and the Mega Man game works for me on Mint 15/Firefox. It is most likely a browser setting on your end if the test page works. Try to change the security settings to allow everything, cookies, pop ups, etc. A security window opens for me and asks me if I want to run the game firs...

OK Did everything work ok before you started installing and uninstalling things? For future reference openjdk is Java, just the open source edition. Go to [url=http://javatester.org/]javatester.org[/url] and see if your plug in is working. It may take a few seconds to load so be patient. If the plug...

This has been a problem with the xorg ati HDMI driver for a while now.They disabled the HDMI sound to fix some other bug that applies to some brand of monitor. Went through it myself a couple of weeks ago. What you need to do is open the file /etc/default/grub as root (use sudo) with a text editor a...

Yea, it's really easy to do, one click and it's all over. The file official-package-repositories.list found in /etc/apt/sources.list.d gets corrupted or encrypted or something? What I did to fix it was copied the file off my live cd and used it to replace the bad one on my system. Here is the conten...

Go to the playonlinux web site and add their ubuntu repo per their instructions. Then a sudo apt-get update followed by a sudo apt-get upgrade should work but I haven't tryed it for a while. However, I did just install POL 4.2.1 the other day using their ubuntu repo.

Don't know.

You can go to the wine website. They do have detailed install instructions for a lot of distros. I installed wine on mint cinnamon using their ubuntu repo but you probably want their debian instructions.

You may want to check some debian specific forums also.
