Linux Mint Forums

No offense, but took me 20mins on google, a couple of examples and badaboom had LM10 installed shortly there after w XP. One of probably 30 dual/tri/quad boots done since. LM's installer isn't rocket science ... Jmo, think it's almost self explanatory. Certainly for someone who's done it a few times...

lol ... hold on there trigger. It's a gnu/linux community forum ... not paid support. People might not answer your questions in under an hour. Stuff like this gets asked and has already been answered 15 gazillion times ( forum search is your friend ) and 15 mins on google would've helped ya sort out...

Your post is all over the place, I did this, installed that, deleted these, this happened, now this is happening, then I did x too and things got worse. SLOW DOWN MAN ! Not sure if am getting it, did you install the new kernel properly ? This link actually shows how to clean up unneeded/wanted grub2...

The only problem is that the Grub install appears to be pointing at the wrong partition. Ya seem to be missing the jest of the OP's problem here. Willing to bet at this pt, bootin Linux is his absolute last concern, lol. That can always be done later and no doubt easily. His issue is that he borked...

bimsebasse, lol ... true, tooooo true. There are correct processes and procedures that must be followed afterall !!! :D LMAO wyrdoak, M$ doesn't care, they'll just keep selling crapware to the gazillions of people who never heard of gnu/Linux. Though actually upon further reflection, really a dang g...

lol ... mines asleep in the other room too. Minus the snoring thankfully. :D I should be sleeping o course or at least getting summin productive done. Have work to do ... But anyone else notice the LM forums can be a tad bit addictive at times ? Starting to feel like a dang borg off star trek. Been ...

^LMAO WhatUsernameIsFree? ... Can definitely sympathize. Mine ... mainly cuz BiggydaddylongstrokeLinuxmaster was either already taken or too long ... dang it ! D: Messing round, LM was 1st real stab into gnu/nix after quite awhile of being a sidelines fan, almost immediately borked it. Then made bri...

Ye are evidently wise in da ways of gnu/nix. Having made a recent backup. The force is strong in you, lol. Good 2 meetcha. Gawd am in a silly mood. Sorry to hear of the borkage and glad ya had a good backup onhand to unbork.

Help !!!?!?? There is no help ... you are now ensnared in the never ending, bottomless gnome3 vortex of doom !!! D: Errrr ... or open synaptic, terminal or software manager and install xfce, a ton of others or stuff like what's ^he's saying too. Ya have options the sky is not falling with the invent...

LMAO ... nice.

Well glad ya not lonely anymore, those people over a M$ tend to be some real stuck up b*****s ( insert appropriate letters.) Hope ya enjoy using Mint.

Lil bit confused ... You want into your PC's bios though ? Diff hardware makers have diff ways to do it. Often one of the F1-12 keys. Think some do the Esc key too. On mine to reach bio's I start tapping the F2 key when booting up( right after turning the comp on). Would google whatever model PC you...

LMAO ... they say a picture says 1,000 words. You can has cheeseburger certainly does. :D Socialist ... which definition, interpretation or opinion of what that means ? Overall though ... not at all. That's just silly, everyone knows Gnu/Linux is the work of and a well hidden conspiracy by hairybrai...

Nope ... opened right up for me. Not really sure what that could be, if happening on several OS's. Some setting with your PC(s?) or net connection or summin. Dunno ... odd. Maybe this will help. It's from a few months ago. But copied the guys email at the bottom of the page on distrowatch. His email...

^Agrees with Roken again. What he said + some of my patent pending babblings. Might be better to go with a Mint release specifically intended for one of the lighter DE's, instead of having to try to remove this, that, the other 12 things AND the kitchen sink. Not sure about it, haven't read the rele...

Had an afterthought ... about the point made about trying to please everyone. Think there's definitely something to that. Distro's that want to cater to as wide an audience as possible do seem to end up having to put out software for every tom, dick and harriette in the world. Some of the distro's I...

Good this will startcha off upon the journey. Many such threads and infinite number of other conky resources online. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=30209 I ended up calling it enough after about a wk of intense messing around with conky. End result isn't exactly stellar, but at lea...

Could check out Slitaz. Though, have to admit to only skimming the OP. Upon reflection, not sure if slitaz fits the nothing unnecessary, no gui, RAM use ( it's not bad resourcewise imo though) etc. criteria of the post. Ahhh ... oh well, might still be worth a look, if for nothing else think that gn...

I luv threads like this ... It's like a soap opera, only with geeky people in it. :D Fare thee well, *sniffle, *sniffle, fare thee well. We shall always have Paris ... mwah*. Though thought choice was a big part of opensource. People are free to use what works for them. One of the awesome things abo...

You still have freedom and choices. You can choose NOT to use something you don't like. Dunno about this gnome3 controversy, never tried 3 quit using gnome 2 a fair while ago. All the fuss had me curious enough to check it out on youtube. Looks like with anything, pro's and con's involved. Did look ...

LOL ... Hiya John, help is available. But I suspect you don't actually have a problem. Believe have seen you mention you can quit anytime ya want to.
