Re: cursor moving on its own
This sounds like a hardware problem. Is it duplicated in any other operating system?

Re: Running Viber from Terminal
Are you saying that you added /opt/viber to your PATH?
Did you use one of these methods?
Rather than alter your PATH, it would be easier to call the program with:

Re: [SOLVED] Truecrypt wont open external full encrypted hd
Having to install Nautilus is a really bad and unnecessary way to get TrueCrypt to work properly. TrueCrypt was badly written so that its quick open volume button calls Nautilus using: /usr/bin/nautilus --no-default-window --no-desktop /media/truecrypt1 It does this no matter what the default file m...

Re: SYSLOG wont update Used gedit to clear. Saved and now wont update LOG

Empty files are always recognised as plain text documents. Is gedit an acceptable editor for these file types and if so how do I save...

Re: torrent content & scheduling in transmission
Transmission used to show content, allowing me to choose which files I wanted to download. Now I have to download all of the content, because I can't choose. I am using magnet links. Transmission has never allowed one to choose files from magnet links. It's one of its shortcomings. A feature reques...

Re: Changing brightness is very slow after update to kernel
Neither of the replies was rude. The answer to your problem is simply that you're using an unsupported kernel. We're not kernel developers, so we're not going to be able to debug an unsupported kernel.

Re: Live session using the hard drive
An extended partition cannot be mounted. It is a container for other partitions.
It's normal for a live session to use an available swap partition. To stop it from using it, right-click on the swap partition in GParted and select 'swapoff'.

Re: Is mpv compiled with lua support? No OSC visible
The Ubuntu repository version of MPV is not very good. It's old and lacks features such as on-screen display.
I use the latest version and it works perfectly. Install it like this:

Re: Changing brightness is very slow after update to kernel
Although Linux Mint uses Ubuntu kernels, upgrading to the latest Ubuntu kernel is not recommended - even by Ubuntu - unless it is to resolve some problem or hardware incompatibility in older kernels.

Re: how to install the KK multicopter flash tool
I've never used this program and I doubt anyone here has. However, if a program requires Java and it doesn't work properly in Linux, it's usually because there's OpenJDK installed instead of Java. Try replacing OpenJDK with Java.

Re: Error in backing up DVD
dvdbackup uses /dev/dvd by default, but some systems have no /dev/dvd node. Try /dev/sr0 instead by adding the string -i /dev/sr0 to the command.
