OK here is the Disc Management screen shot, sorry for the delay

I am trying to install Linux 17.3 Mate on a system with Windows 7 via CD. After Linux mint mate 17.2 CD loads the test version, I select the install icon. The install option I get is "erase disk before installing Linux" . Normally I would go right ahead and use that option, but not in this...

I'm not going to look for it again, I didn't book mark it. Perhaps it wasn't the developer who said that. if it wasn't then I humbly apologize for the offence, and it may also have been edited out, I don't know. It was in one of the posts I read on this subject and I have to admit that I assumed it ...

Got the same message after one of the latest updates. At first it panicked me and after noting that nothing bad followed it, I was wondering why it was even displayed in the first place. After having done a search I found posts by the developer saying, he designed it that way. What a stupid answer, ...

Thanks, worked perfectly. Learn something every day

I installed google earth and made an error in the process. Un-installed Google Earth and followed the Tutorial on how to install Google earth properly on a 64 bit system. However, when re-installing according to the tutorial instructions it did not do some of the install of files because it said the...

As it turns out, the problem was caused by a defective battery. I had 4 systems showing the same symptom but reporting the battery was at 100%. All 4, (Genuine DELL batteries), were defective but giving ridicules time remaining calculations. Replaced the batteries with new ones and problem is solved...

I'm getting crazy battery charge time remaining calculations, in the order of 20 to 55 hours. I need a clue of where to start looking. Is this a hardware or software function?

The system in question is a Dell Inspiron 6400 running Linux Mate Rafaela

Thanks,

Thanks,

Perhaps they could make the message a little more meaningful to the uninitiated , ie. "the package already exists in the LINUX repository"

I want to install Google Earth. Found a link in this forum to download it from Google. However, when I started the download it came up with a message I don't understand. "same version is available in a software channel". Great information :lol: What good is that, it doesn't give a hint on ...

I asked this question a while ago and received an answer that worked. However, the response seems to have disappeared from the thread and I have forgotten the answer. So, here it goes again. I went to my network page and it clearly shows the printer. If I click on the printer I get "Unable to M...

I clearly got a response to my last question. However, it seems to have disappeared from this thread. Could someone answer the question again? "If I click on the printer I get "Unable to Mount Location" with the following additional line of explanation "Failed to retrieve share l...

Thanks for the nudge, it probably would have been a long time before I found that. Even though it was right in front of my nose.

t's been a long time since I started this thread but I have decided it's about time to revitalize it. I went to the link above and attempted to download the code, it came back with a message that the driver was already installed. I went to my network page and it clearly shows the printer. If I click...

Found another forum entry with a the same problem with a Broadcom card. Executed the same commands and the problem is corrected. See: forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=182296&p=945291&hilit=broadcom+bcm5751#p945291 "commands" minus the quotes. 1. "sudo apt-get upda...
