Hi, everything on my screen is about 3 times as big as it should be, I'll add a screen shot!

My son who is 1 year and 4 months, sat on the keyboard today, and this same problem has happened before in windows.

I have tried to click on troubleshoot, restore all settings to default, then it all comes back to normal, but only for about 1,5 seconds.

Thanks,

:)

Hey, I have managed to get the drivers installed for both graphics cards (one is an integrated ATI HD 3000 and the other is an ATI Readon HD 6450 PCIe). Both are able to display a picture but not simultaneously.

Both cards are able to work together in Windows 7 so I know it is possible in terms of the hardware.

Also, when my 6450 is displaying X, my 3000 can display another tty screen (Sorry, I don't know the technical term) but not vice versa.

If any of you know how to help me it would be greatly appreciated, I have been trying to get this to work for weeks but just can't do it.

I was reading a guide called Introduction to Debian Packaging - Part One, when I saw the below quote: From this site

debian_sources.list
# This list is for Debian if you are using Ubuntu do not use this list.

Acording to Code: apt sources

# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu raring-getdeb apps games

and this one which I have added from the referred guide

# deb-src Repository - Linux Mint isadora main upstream import

so deb = Debian... right?

Oh, and btw I found this too, maybe this can be helpful

Thanks,

:D

Hi! It's me again, I'm back! :cool:

I'm writing from Windows right now so pls. bear with me.

Just for reference some system info:

Now straight to the problem(s):

Well actually I need to explain something first.

As far as I can tell, it all started after I did a deja-dup recovery of some documents from the old Mint 14, deja-dup ask me if want to recover to original folder,(Y) I somehow suspect this to be the cause.

1. Not able to add shortcut directly to desktop from Menu, instead the shortcut is added in the desktop folder, and from there I am able to drag it to the desktop.

I can't remember the rest right now so that'll be it for now.

Thanks,

:D

Sorry for the inconvenience, after I turned on the cpu today, it was all well and working.

Hi. Yesterday I downloaded and installed Linux Mint 15 on Fujitsu Siemens pi-2515. The WIFI worked fine from the CD before the install but not afterward.
Hopefully, this information is adequate so someone can help

Hey guys,

I've been a windows user all my life. This summer I've had to do some bioinformatics for a biology lab I'm working in, and have to run lots of data locally on my machine. These bioinformatics programs are available for download, and when I tried to install them, I was like WTF?

I had never seen a set of files I had to 'compile from source' before. So I hunted around and realized I had to install Linux. So I dual-booted my PC, and here I am on the other side typing this.

I've been trying to install this program:

Vienna RNA Package
(I can't post the link cause they have a spam filter thing. You'll have to google it)

And have had 0 luck because I understand 0 about Linux.

Here's where I am.

I type

./configure
...
make
...
make install

And get an error that I need some sort of GCC compiler.
I go and download the GCC compiler, and do the same

I get an error that I need three other programs
GMP, MPC, and MPFR

I go and download these three things and I THINK I successfully installed GMP and MPFR (I did the same thing,

)

But a nub like me likes to see confirmation messages.

Anyways, when installing MPC, I get the error:

And I found that I then needed something called ncurses.

I went and downloaded that, and got another effing error:


Essentially I'm just lost and running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I have no idea why these installations have to be carried out the way they do. I'm essentially knowledgeless on Linux.

So I guess my question is:

a) What do I need to do to get this package (ViennaRNA above) installed on my PC?
b) Can someone explain the jist of why someone would choose to use Linux over Windows when these installations are filled with errors and much more complicated (I realize I seem ignorant, I'm just frustrated right now).

Cheers,
Nick

Hi, one problem generated another, hence this thread:

I downloaded the DVD mint 15 64, and all went well with the check-sum and I used some prog.
in Linux to burn it

well here's what happened, I wanted to add some space for the mint 15, so I

went into windows Disk Management and diminished the win 7 volume

that gave me about 150 g + 50g from the old mint 14,

then I did something that I probably never should have done:

I plugged in my parted magic DVD, and deleted the mint, just like that!

(I forgot that windows was now depending on the Linux boot, or whatever, now there is a GRUB message popping up)

so I tried to fix it, by installing the mint 15 on the now 200gigs free space

so far so good, following a guide I started by taking 30720 bytes from the unallocated space

primary, slash forward root, beginning of drive space, ext4

still ok, went like a charm, but now the rest of the 170000 bytes configures like Unusable

which makes it impossible to continue!?!

Now what, any solution to that?

Thanks,

:)

Hello Im trying to duel boot Linux mint 15 and windows 7 on to seperate ssds. I have both oses installed on each drive but when I plug them in to work together everyting messes up. I don't know what else to do. Thanks. :)

Hi friends, I have a big problem, the bottom left main menu has disappeared, the panel is there, and the rest of it is there, such as clock and show desktop icon.

also the windows, any window, don't have any re-size or close widow option

when I start the computer, the bottom panel is shown, but once it disappears (auto-hide) it never comes back.

The windows, none of the windows can be moved, once opened they stay where there are, and there is no double click to full-screen possibility.

Thanks,

:)

This keeps happening to me and I did a few google searches and looked on youtube but could not find the answer.

youtube.com/watch?v=TkCSjecmyZg

^That's what is happening when I try to boot Mint 14 from a USB

EDIT: I have gotten passed this issue by pressing F5 to boot, but I know boot into "Render mode" which is very hard on my CPU, does anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks for all of your help guys! :)

Update Manager problems after fresh install of Mint 15

Postby Cygnis1 on Sun Jun 02, 2013 10:27 am
It has been a long time since I last posted on the forum, here is my problem. Yesterday I did a fresh install of Linux Mint 15 (Olivia) Mate from an iso. it is 64 bit and since the install I have been having problems with the update manager. when I try to update I get a long list of servers that were not found, and when it does find updates it can not install them all. I have used the terminal to update and upgrade the system, but the repos were unable to found or accessed. This is very frustrating as I now have a red X in the icon. I have had this issue with all versions of mint from 13 on.
Thanks for any help.

Hello I need help making disks and flashdrives bootable. I know this sounds basic it is in windows. But I seem to have a lot of trouble in linux. I use bresario to burn isos but every time I try is says that it has to detect the size of the iso before it can burn it and it stays like that, it freezes/crashes. Then I go to put the iso on a flash drive. I use the defauld program to do so. The usv image writer. It goes all the way through the process says it finished successfully and i go to boot from it and it just won't boot goes straight to my main os. I have tried unet bootin but it just installs the bootloader for some reason and not the os?? please help!!

Hello I am having trouble transfering music from one device to the other. I have all the music imported on to my computer but I can't play the music while the ipod is not plugged in. And then I try to transfer music but I won't work it give errors saying that the files are not found even after I imported them to my computer

So I have a distro on a remote server that I can't access, Mint 10 Juila. I have been told it may be a bit old, and as such is the reason that I can't apt-get with it's repos. Is this system to old, or is there a set of new repos that I could add that would allow for some "newer" content without having to reinstall the entire distro?

Thanks!

Can somebody help me figure out how in a step by step sequence, to install Linux Mint 13 on my system, with the "Cinnamon" desktop interface? After I download this version from torrent servers, I have NO idea what to do with the dozen or so files I see!! Actually, I have no idea even how to use the checksum series to verify the download was uncorrupted or clean, either. This has been going on for weeks, and I fell about as dense and dumb as a rock. Obviously, I have never done this "simple" task before, but am determined to learn how now. I am tired of ordering "live cds" for linux distros that are available online for free. Thanks to all.

Craig :( :confused:
