Create a flash or DVD of the windwoes .iso and boot from it. Then follow the bouncing ball.

Thanks ...

It's a pleasure.

Cheers.

Next year, a massive 5 days away, I might upgrade my camera to 4K. Editing 4K will probably push my GPU and make use of the nvidia driver. It'll push your CPU hard as well. I run an Intel i9 9900K with nVidia RTX 2080 and transcoding just 1080p, let alone 4k, pushes it hard. Mind you, it does it qu...

I will try other distro's to see what happens...

Emmabuntus, MX Linux. Give those a try.

On one of my computers, the Update Manager check thingy, System Reports, recommended replacing driver xserver-xorg-video-nouveau with nvidia-driver-435. nvidia-driver-435 is a meta package with unknown content. Using the funny System Reports update, instead of a regular Update Manager or the comman...

Surely that is incorrect and should be specified without spaces.

thanks, fixed.

The invoice is in the mail.

I think the screen tearing issue can be fixed... @roblm is the forum's premiere but unsung nVidia guru, and I have enough knowledge of nVidia to tell you that you're flogging a long-dead horse. There are two essential ways to rectify tearing. One is to have a fast and powerful video card that doesn...

Code: Select all

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES = "/ etc / modprobe.d / nvidia-drm-modeset.conf"

Surely that is incorrect and should be specified without spaces.

There is something wrong...

If that were my machine, I'd be backing up my treasured stuff and forking over some hard-earned in a hurry to replace that drive.

Hello,

I have a Dell Laptop, that I've installed Linux Mint Cinnamon on. I keep getting "tearing" in the taskbar. You can see "pixels moving"? Any cure for this?

At the top of the page, in red, it says "Before you post please read how to get help".

Hello all.
Is there an easy way to search inside files from the desktop manager instead of grepping from the command line?
Thank you.

Install catfish. Nemo is useless at searching.

What a load of cobblers.

So you have nothing of substance to say on topic and only resort to personal insults?

I referred to what you wrote, not to you, and your spray doesn't warrant a substantive reply.

Yes, connected to USB OP can read it, but is it readable when plugged in internally?

"New SSD" <clone occurs> "I can read the contents".

Edit: I'm gittier than you

is this something we can fix so i can boot the laptop with new SSD? This is going to require a lot of command-line-fu to fix. You have two choices. The easiest will be to clean install to the SSD then copy over your home directory contents from the HDD, making sure to include hidden files, followed...
