Samsung r480 laptop. Linux Mint 13 KDE :D The Fn keys for the brightness do not work. I am using this workaround: sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.b=XX. The XX is the level of brightness; 0 being the darkest, 100 brightest. I normally have it at 25. If I reboot or sleep the laptop, it will go to a default ...

I have LM 12 with KDE. How do I update the BIOS on my Gigabyte motherboard?

I installed mtink, and am part of lp group. When I run mtink, it says "Error No Access to printer device file." I click OK but it shows all ink levels empty. When I click on Preferences says, "choose browser" a radio box for "Mini Help", another for "Allow automati...

I'd like to add to the list of things why i love this OS is not having to worry about viruses. yeah, it kinda bugs me that Netflix doesn't work on our Linux machines. LibreOffice is really great. a lot of great stuff. the mintube player thing is cool, among other cool stuff.

I think this happens because you don't yet have the driver installed - you should be able to work around it by booting with nomodeset (hold shift to see Grub bootloader, then press e to edit and add nomodeset at the end of the next-to-last line).

I have the 550Ti and I cannot get it to work. I get a bunch of error messages or blank screens or both. I might be doing something wrong though. I'm not sure. for now I'm using the integrated graphics from the i7-2600 until I figure it out.

are you doing this in gnome desktop? how do you do it in KDE? I dont see any unlock button.

i am not sure if this will help or not, but it helped me when i was setting up my epson priner. I installed a package called mtink. In the software manager, type in mtink and download and install it. I think its only for epson printers.

On my MInt 12 desktop, I am able to print if USB connected, but how do I set up network printing? My Epson printer is on my wireless network, and currently I can print/scan wirelessly from both my Windows laptops. The printer does not have an ethernet port, it is a usb or wireless network printer. T...

Hi I am actually going to be installing mint 12 next week.
I was just wondering where and how do i get the kdm desktop? thank you

Installed Linux mint on my Samsung laptop. It came with Firefox and have had no issues with the browser. I wanted to use Google chrome, so i went to the website and downloaded the Linux version that said it was for "32 bit .deb (For Debian/Ubuntu)". When i go to use the browser, it wont lo...

found out how to control screen brightness on my Samsung r480-11 laptop. I found this at www.Voria.org The only way to change brightness is by terminal command Code: sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=XX where XX is the brightness value. My current kernel is Code: 2.6.34-997-generic #201005111008 SMP Tue M...
