Linux Mint Forums

Hi mintyfreshyay, welcome to the Linux Mint forums :D Thanks for joining the forums! Xfce is certainly fine, I'm considering making it my primary installation as well. Be sure also to check out the Community website (tutorials, hardware and software reviews, ideas). You can also chat in real-time wi...

Right, so I downloaded the same zip and had a look into what was wrong. It is missing a Mono library, which you can add to your system by installing the mono-complete package. Steps I took: 1. Open Software Manager, search for mono-complete, click on it, click Install. Then wait a bit (may take few ...

You can still download Linux Mint 9 GNOME: http://www.linuxmint.com/release.php?id=13

Sure, fix that also. Run the following command: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list Then remove the following line highlighted in red , because as you can see it is also already covered by the parts marked in blue : deb http ://mirror.umd.edu/linuxmint/packages/ maya main upstream import backport deb ht...

Awesome

To fix this, please open a terminal and run the following command: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-maya.list Delete the last line, the one that only has the text "main" on it. Then save & close the file by pressing Ctrl+X. Then run: sudo apt-get update And you should ...

Dôh, why didn't I think of that! Of course, always run update first... Thanks for sharing the solution.

Hi, the Raptor website details a bit how to get it working on Ubuntu: http://raptor.martincarlisle.com/ (scroll down to the section "Other Operating Systems"). That should work for Linux Mint also, though it may require some trial and error. Mono (the open source implementation of .NET tha...

Your sources.list configuration seems fine. Seems like either it can't contact the server, or the files are not found on the server. Zooming in on the first few errors, these: Err http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main libssl1.0.0 amd64 1.0.1-4ubuntu5 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu...

Supported means you get updates for security problems and for serious bugs found in the applications you have installed from the repository. It also means the repository from which you install additional applications remains available. So you can safely use the operating system till April 2017, and ...

AFAIK, colloquially we use the terms console and terminal interchangeable. Not sure if there historically is a difference; I think both meant the physical device with which to operate a computer. Why do you have three terminal applications installed (you actually have more, also getty which provides...

discard depends on TRIM support, which could be detected automatically. (See my SSD optimize tips http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 03#p461796.) I think the challenge is the Ubiquity installer that is being used is not very flexible or easy to adjust for such things.

Have you installed all available updates? You may want to upgrade your kernel also. To do so, either enable level 4 and 5 updates in the Update Manager > Edit > Preferences menu or run:

Was it a typo that you spelled it ia32 libs? The name of the package is ia32-libs. So: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs If the error is persistent, please share the exact error here and also include the output of the following command: inxi -r (You can copy output from the terminal through its Edit me...

The steps to put the .iso file on the USB drive are listed here: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/744. Both from Linux and from Windows.

You can download the Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon here: http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php

That would be Perberos you want to thank And the rest of the team that joined him of course.

Ouch. To get to your files, open a terminal or do Alt+F2 and run: gksudo nautilus That should open your file browser as root, allowing you to access the files. Once you have reinstalled and want to copy the files back, you may have to change ownership of the files to your account first. You can do s...

5 year support? Linux Mint 12 is supported till April next year. Linux Mint 13 till April 2017. Other than that I figure the important differences are the versions of the applications; Linux Mint 13 will have newer versions of kernel and applications, which won't be available by default on Linux Min...

I've a post about optimizing tips for SSDs: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=79503#p461796. As for swap, you need swap if you have little memory or if you want to be able to use hibernate (suspend to disk). From 4 GiB RAM up I wouldn't create a swap partition, unless you do heavy...

Catfish has just been updated. Not available in repositories yet, but you can download and install easily on Linux Mint 13. It uses locate for finding files on disk fast, and zeitgeist for including recently used documents. See here: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/08/catfish-search-tool-updated-wit...
