Linux Mint Forums

Hello, forum fellas, excuse my newbieness if it annoys you, but I have a question about compression in Mint: I know Mint (as well as many other Linux systems) has a great compression Tool, what I don't know is why it doesn't ask for a password twice before creating password protected archives. I kno...

Hey guys, I need a little help, since I've been having a problem regarding my Mint installation: Everything was working just fine, but, all of a sudden, when I start my PC it gives me the following message SB 1-1 Device descriptor read/64 error -110 and, even though it keeps loading Mint as if nothi...

Thanks, it worked (I couldn't make the boot manager appear, though), and now I have a (finally) visible GRUB menu.

Ok, this is VERY newbie-like, I know, but its a question thats been bugging me from a fairly long time: How do I make GRUB menu appear by default? Every page Ive visited tells me that the GRUB menu should appear instantaniously after the BIOS gives place to the BootLoader, but this doesnt seem to be...

Thank you, it worked like a charm; it is indeed true that there are little post arroud this topic, and, as you, I'll give the credit to the ease of the process. Probably one of my most newbie-like posts, but it needed to be done.

Ok, maybe this is a stupid question (pardon my newbieness if you think it is), but I've been facing a lot of problems with my Mint Machine (mainly because, as I lately found out, the CD I had created had a lot of the /Boot partition missing), I want to do things right this time, and I don't want to ...

Thanks, I got it working and codec-install-free! It came really handy

sudo pm-suspend Note: this requires your use of sudo... so probably not ideal Yup, sounds quite messy. Thanks anyway, but I found a way to change the behaviour of the "Lock Screen" command, so it suspends automaticaly if I've been off for more than a minute; It is less messy, and, though ...

From the Mint machine please post the output of the following command: smbtree Ok, it pops out this WORKGROUP \\MAQUIAVELO Maquiavelo server (Samba, LinuxMint) \\MAQUIAVELO\IPC$ IPC Service (Maquiavelo server (Samba, LinuxMint)) \\MAQUIAVELO\print$ Printer Drivers INICIOMS

Yelop, forum friends, kind of sorry to bother you on such a simple topic, but I've been having problems doing this right and, even though I've followed the instructions on a lot of different forums, I can't make it work. The thing is, I am my own administrator, so I can have as much permits as I wan...

Are you using Simple File sharing on WinXP? My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Use Simple File Sharing I wasn't, now I am, but it still prompts the confirmation and password window, which is very annoying. I have no idea of what to write, and I have no idea of how to disable it.

Ok, first of all, thank you all for your answers, they have been helpful, since I got the Windows and the Linux settings running; the problem is, that I can't really connect to the printer because of some weird popup window. It tells me to put my user and password in order to check against the permi...

Hello, I would like to summon your help regarding a little issue; that issue is the suspend command. What do I write in "Terminal" to put my computer to Sleep? It isn't really a big deal, but it would make my life a little bit easier if you could tell me what command puts the computer to s...

Thank you! It works perfectly; Linux has a Lock Screen command, a Shut Down command, but no Logout command, so it will be very useful to have a custom one programmed so it is a little bit more complete. It shall come handy; Thanks again.

Hello, I'm trying to make a Logout shortcut in Linux Mint Main Edition, but I don't know what command displays the "Logout Window". That's basically what I want, the Logout command (one you could, for example, type in a Terminal Box to achieve the "Logout Window" to pop out) PD: ...

Actually, the desktop PC is running XP and i cant seem to find that option. Maybe it's under a different name? I don't really know. but I'll go ahead and try to install the necesary Apps on my laptop while I get an Aswer. Thanks for your Reply!

Ok, this is somewhat tricky, but ill try to explain myself as well as I can. I have a desktop PC running Windows, which is the one connected directly to the Printer (Epson Stylus TX-115), but, on the other hand, I have a Laptop running Linux far from the PC (I usually sit on the Dinning room, since ...

BTW, mark the post as solved

Thanks, now I was able to configure a proxy of my own, and know where the port directions are on the proxy address; Marked as solved

Ok, I'll give you step by step instructions as to what I did to make this work. 1. Close firefox. 2. Open Network Proxy Preferences. 3. Select Manual Proxy Configuration 4. Check the box "use the same proxy for all protocols" 5. Enter the url of the proxy and the port i.e. url: 81.200.10....

Ok, using the settings I used, it should AUTOMATICALLY work with firefox. Haven't tried with chrome/chromium. Did you remember to hit apply system wide? BTW port = the port that the proxy specified. If in doubt try port 80 (default http). Ok,I tried it, but I don"t know where does it say the p...
