You can also test the memory in the Terminal:
sudo memtester 1024 5

Good luck.

Sounds like miss-matched RAM. You can't just shove any RAM modules into a slot and expect them to work. There are lots of variables. I always use Crucial or Corsair RAM, and they always work fine. I stay away from "off-brand" junk and I have a box of junk RAM I removed from many laptops/de...

First, I would test the memory:
sudo memtester 1024 5

Second, LM18.3 locks-up after 2-5 minutes if my cpu is running 'ondemand'.
If I set the cpu to run in 'performance' mode, no lock-ups.

Third, I would try another kernel.

Good luck.

I downgraded one laptop from kernel 4.11.0-xx-generic to 4.10.0-37-generic and now ConvertAll works again.
So, it could be a kernel-compatibility thing.

Congrats, glad it's working.

What a waste of forum space. Let this poor Pilgrim run as root at his free will; watch his rig go up in flames. But, Pilgrim, don't come back here and cry at your mama's skirt-tails looking for hand-outs, 'cause as Benjamin Franklin said, "God helps those who help themselves". The Mint dev...

Possibly the simplest way currenly (2015):

sudo ufw allow Samba

jimallyn,
Thanks for the old .debs

Did you install via the Terminal (which I did not state) as shown in my first post? Reboot when installation finishes and it will put an icon in the Menu: Menu/Internet/Google Earth Reboot the computer. Open Terminal and run these 2 commands, one at a time, press Enter after each. sudo aptitude inst...

administrollaattori,
Thanks. I will add the FalconFour to my collection.

Reboot when installation finishes and it will put an icon in the Menu:
Menu/Internet/Google Earth

I am running LM18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit.
I installed Google Earth, which worked for me without any errors/dependency problems:
1. sudo aptitude install ncurses-term
2. You may wish to try a force install:
sudo aptitude install -f google-earth-pro-stable

Hope this helps.

I have a "Mint Lock-up" issue on one of my 3 laptops running LM18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit. If I open Firefox browser then go to any website, after seconds/minutes, the laptop will totally lock-up. After 5-10 minutes, the laptops works fine. Quite frustrating. So, I uninstalled and/or don't use F...

I use Hiren's Boot CD to update BIOS.exe BIOS upgrades on Linux machines. Works well.

UPDATE: Strange, if I adjust my CPU for maximum speed (GOVERNOR="performance"), and edit grub with the following: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="reboot=acpi" Save file. sudo update-grub Reboot. Then restart again. Then select Shutdown, my laptop will shutdown/restart normally afterw...

No difference, still have to "sudo -i convertall" in the Terminal to make it run.
Thanks for the additional assistance.

Have a lot of friends down in your area, I miss it.

I concur, stay away from "sudo -i" unless absolutely necessary, then think again a time or two. I got a programming degree back in '81 & I have toasted many machines with bad CLI commands at root: "let's try this....". "Uh oh......". Now, I only use "sudo -i&qu...
