search brought me here :wink: Been using Brasero for all cd/dvd burning for almost 2 years without any problems... (always burn @ 4X) Lately when burning (last 2 months), the progress window stays up and never stops ... it doesn't burn @ at all. I thought my dvd drive was going bad. But if i go into...

FireFox IMO - tried 'em all ... with chrome/chromium your stuck with opening pages in 'Tabs' (hate the tabs) prefer opening pages in there own seperate windows.

I get 'pps' files emailed to me periodically. They would diligently execute with OpenOffice when clicked from the received email link. I recently re-installed Mint 9 to a new hard drive. Everything seems to be updated correctly. Now when I click on a pps link, i get this message: http://i.imgur.com/...

I found that problem occurs on my systems if the disk check tries to complete under any newer kernel image. So when it gets stuck on the check, I restart the PC and select the original kernel image from GRUB. The scan completes without problem. Then on reboot the lockups are gone whichever kernel i...

I think I found the cause ... addon Flashgot after last update. When it would spike, processes would show Firefox - I think processes never show the addon directly tho. Bottom line - I removed Flashgot and system finally quieted down :/ Will wait a couple of days before adding [SOLVED] to title to m...

Thanks tdockery97

Search just led me to some unresolved answers. Check is every so boots and it just hangs there eternally.
I know this was always an issue with Isadora...but can this Disk Check feature be disabled ?

Don't see a hardware accelleration choice in this FF version... think it has something to do with the last firefox 3.66.22 update thru mint update.

will check out the ff tweaks lmintnewb ... but never had this issue before and have used always FF.

no need to install 'htop' ...just typing 'top' in the terminal shows all processes - firefox-bin and xorg and python are usually the first 3.

Been using Isadora 9 for over a year now. It is my primary OS. Recently I noticed that I'm getting very high cpu spikes especially when on Firefox. I believe the last couple of updates were for 'cups' and before that was something for 'Firefox' ... don't know if this is related. I will exit Firefox ...

I guess you can use all the above methods to get results. But... I record streaming sound from the internet from all sources and don't rely on any added features. Just plain Audacity is needed. This is how it works for me: Make sure 'Output Level Meter' is turned 'On' @ the drop down menu (see arrow...

yep, that did it

I should have remembered - had used that before

Thanks Bob E

After a year of using Mint 9, had to re-install everything. So far it's all reconfigured to the way I had it before. Exept: no trash bin. I used to have a functional one on the desktop. 1. tried to install one thru screenlets. It installs, but not visible on desktop (screenlets panel still shows as ...

OK, will do - Thanks

anyway to get this thru package manager ?

swapped out the HP for the old Epson again ... have escputil and gutenprint installed from before but can't find the printer. Don't remember how I installed it before or what the drivers were called. Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.

not with fluxbox mint on my system ... with regular gnome mint - yes it works. (that was the reason for the post in the first place) - wiki info good reference ... but no help with this issue - Thanks tho for the response

Tried all above ... also reversed the 'Blacklisted' and still the same. Have you fully updated the Fluxbox version yet? no, since i can't connect. i wouldn't have pursued it unless i thought i had a bum disk burn - but all chsum and cd checks ok - os seems to be functioning fine too (except for this...
