Linux Mint Forums

Hi all. Asus X50N Mint 18.1 32bit on purchased disc I successfully installed this on my old computer - no problem. I have replaced the original HDD with a 120gb SSD and trying to load Mint onto that. Haven't gotten very far and up pings '(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file sys...

Many thanks Richyrich

That was the easiest thing I've ever completed with Linux and will be of great help.
Cheers

Hi All I wish to be able to remote access (if that's the right term) my sisters laptop in the uk. I'm about to give her my old laptop that's loaded with Mint 18 Cinnamon so that I can help her if she gets in to problems. :? I've had a quick look on the board but not to sure what I'm looking for / at...

Hi Austen Texas Can't run any commands - can't get out of Gparted consequently Mint isn't loaded ! Suspect I'm just about to screw everything up and restart the laptop and hope I can get back into W10 (spit !) Despite the fact that I've researched (6hrs) to get the right result, Linux is too involve...

Hi All
I'm obviously right out of depth here and going to try and undo the mess I created and buy a new HDD.
Thanks for you help everyone.
Regards

Cheers MintyO Looks like I'm screwed. There is no 'apply' on the screen I'm on. Just to rub salt in the wound - now none of the menus along the top work (device - partition - help) I'm off to Luxembourg for a cake n coffee to cool off and hope the good Mint fairy looks kindly on me and sorts itself ...

Hi All Thanks for the input so far. I am at this impasse since this is where the dvd I purchased (Linux Mint, Debian, lmde2 DVD, 64 bit) led me. I certainly wasn't going to go through the pain of doing a download and faffing around again ! Thought I had this cracked by doing hours of research but ne...

Not so much SOLVED as abandoned! Don't bother trying to dual boot - buy a new HDD and load onto that and use the old HDD as a slave to access your data.. Hi All Yep - still with the programme! Trying to dual boot on my W10. Got to the partition ok but now in Gparted and can't see where to go next. I...

Found it !!

For anyone else - it's in the 'menu'

Hi All. Linux is getting quite absorbing! I have Installed Mint 18 Sarah 32bit. I would like to find an application that displays System statistics like Windows (spit!) Resource Monitor as I want to compare my two computers (Mint and Windows 10) - not scientific I know but - well - I think I'm getti...

Well - I got it to work. I must be on the path to being a genius - not!

I removed all reference to the router and started again and hey presto. Probably more luck than judgment.

Cheers.

Hi MintBean Whilst i was in Scotland I loaded Mint onto a brand new harddrive and connected via wifi to my hosts router - no probs. Just put in their password and bingo. Returning home to Belgium and Mint knows my router is there, it comes up with the router identifier, but put in the password and i...

Many thanks Mike. Plugged it in and it appears to have found the driver I downloaded.

Many thanks.

Hi

Installed Mint 18 Sarah 32bit.

I have connected, for the first time, to internet via wifi whilst abroad - no problem. Returning home it won't connect to my router. Mint knows the router is there but won't connect via wifi.

Any ideas?
Regards

Hi all. I'm still with the program! Can anyone point me in the right direction for an Epson DX4000 driver and how to install it? When I had a go at this it appears i need a driver and then some software to install it? I need a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. I'm afraid I'm lost in some of the technical...

Hi fellow newbie! Bottom line : Take the easy route and buy the installation CD online! See below for Windows 10 BIOS for a dual boot. But stick with it. From my experience, probably your first obstacle will be downloading the software, burning to a cd or usb and trying to get it to work. I bet if y...

Hi ccoyle

Hey - thats good - cheers.

Hi All. A bit of success! (On my Toshiba Satellite c55) To get to the bios in Windows 10 to dual boot you shut down holding the left shift key all the time. Restart holding F2. Now all I got to do is find out why it won't load Mint from the USB - takes the patience of a saint............. I can see ...

Hi all. Don't ask me why but the Iplayer doesn't work but I suppose you might call it the direct version http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_fourfm does work. Ahh but - Radio 2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_two needs to be refreshed to work..................... :? When you anal...

Hi all. Sorry to bother you all yet again. Search as I might I can't find the answer as to why, on a newly installed Mint, that I can't get BBC Radio 4 /2 to play via Firefox. I've loaded Adobe flash and Gnash but the BBC websites won't fully load and play. The Beeb is pretty vital as I refuse to ha...
