Remove pulseaudio and reboot. You should then be good to go

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
sudo shutdown -r now

Yeah, that worked fine, thanks!!

Skype works now, and so does Totem.

Thank you, Im sure that will help the other Ubuntu refugees (like me) get the wifi going. The Debian install is allot harder than Ubuntu or Mint 9. But thank goodness for these forums, you got it going for me. And now I can do it myself. I also had allot of trouble setting up my hard drive partition...

Somehow during the install I missed where you decide how much space for your disk partitions. My computer is a Dell Mini 9 with 16gb SSD. I intended to setup as /dev/sda1 / ext4 10gb /dev/sda5 /home ext3 6gb But I somehow ended up with 13.5gb on / and only 652MB on /home .... too small. I must have ...

I see you are new to using the terminal. When you see in the terminal "yourname@yourcomputer~$" that means that all commands you type in will be done under the user yourname. When you type sudo -i you will change to the user root(the Administrator if you want to see it like that). When yo...

OK, this time I got pretty far along before a problem stopped me. Terminal is not my strong point, but I try and learn. Thanks to these forums I manage.

Hi, Ive been playing with LMDE today, and cant figure out how to activate wifi. Its connected via ethernet cable for now, I did all the updates. My computer is a Dell Mini 9. My wifi is a Belkin. It was very simple to activate wireless with Mint 9, but this new Debian edition seems worth some extra ...

Merci beaucoup

Installing acroread removed Adobereader-deu, and now all is well.

Jim

I searched for Adobereader with and without the -en and nothing found except Adobereader-deu for some reason. I searched in Software Manager, and nothing found. What I was able to do is open my form .pdf with Adobereader-deu and enter my text, and hit the x out button (upper right) and it asks me if...

Thanks, I searched for Adobereader-en in synaptic, its not there. Only the -deu

After I installed Adobereader-deu and opened a pdf file it offered english, I selected english, but it opened in German.

I'll look and try Options, maybe I can find english.

Thanks again

Jim

I completely uninstalled/reinstalled, but it didnt offer a choice of Eng/German this time, so Im stuck in German.

I was able to figure out Ja is yes, and I was able to enter the info, and save it.

I can make this work, but it really needs to be in English.

Thanks

Jim

OK, it wasnt in Software Manager, but I found Adobereader-deu in synaptic. I installed it, it offered English or German, I picked English, but it opened in German. All the controls and buttons are in German, how do I change to English? I guess I could uninstall and reinstall, and see if it takes Eng...

I need to fill out a VA form .pdf but after I type information in the form, I cant save the info. It will save a copy of the form, but what I type is not saved. I open the pdf with Document Viewer 2.30.3 by simply double clicking it. With Mint 7 when I double clicked a pdf I could type in stuff and ...

Thank you!!! Mark this as solved.

OK, I just love Mint 9.

Jim

Mint 7 was so stable, and did what I want, but I wanted to upgrade to 9, naturally. I never got along with Mint 8, but I tried. Love the fast bootup, and the latest updated software, Thunderbird, Audacious and so forth. What I dont like with Mint 9 is constantly having to re enter my password if I l...

So does wired connection work when wireless is disabled? Is it just the icon that is incorrect or can you not use your wired connection? When I installed I had the modem plugged directly into the Dell Vostro, for a wired connection. As soon as I had 9 installed, and updated, I installed the Broadco...

Yes, ethernet plugged into the modem, and wifi hooked up to that.

Been using the same setup for 4 months. And didnt have this issue with Mint 7

thanks
