You can easlily do this in two ways: first, you can open up a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install skype However, since you directly downloaded the Binary from Skype's website, you most likely have dependency errors and that command won't work. My suggestion would be to first try to type: sudo ap...

Not relevent to my original question but if you must know: SunOS (early Sun's BSD derived OS), Solaris (when they changed to System V and left the path of righteousness.) AIX: IBM's abomition which I got lumbered with in one job. HP-UX: HP and ditto Some mainframe *nix* where the companies have gon...

Theoretically speaking, it would work. However, if you have extra apps on your old LM12 install that are not needed (for instance, the Mate desktop), it would install them on LM13 as well. While you can use the Backup tool to do this, my advice would be to check twice your selection and make sure yo...

I have a certain workarround, although it isn't precisely a solution. I was also having this problem, both the delay and the automatic screenshot saving (which I DEEPLY hate); my workarround was to use GCONF to modify the command executed by the "Print Screen" button (open GCONF, go to /ap...

Hey guys, I'm having issues with my logitech g300 mouse. It works fine w/ windows but it's acting all weird when u left/right click. I've found this code and it solved my problem.

Good one! Didn't know you could do that with inxi; should keep that in mind instead of using "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"

It seems strange that Ubuntu 10.04 worked fine, but Mint 12 doesn't. Are there no configuration files that can be altered? I don't know how the system works, but I imagine there is some kind of conversion of the screen brightness value into the voltage supplied to the backlight, and it is the conve...

OK, fixed. I knew something was wrong when I booted into Windows and saw the same problems. In the BIOS too. I pulled the battery and the hard drive, put them back in and it wasn't stuttering anymore. I have no idea what was wrong. Ahh, good for you! I was about to make you pull the virtual guts of...

Yup, already register a while back. Look at this.

Hopefully, this bug will be ironed out in for Maya.

I need help fast. Did it show wireless in the panel before? And, if so, why did you install it? Also...
