Linux Mint

[Sami_Sdata]

I did mine on Oct 10 about 10:10 in the morning. So technically I was 10-10-10 10:10 10.10 :lol:

Good deal. I'm liking it so far.

So you're 10922? 10-10-10 is better. That's 42 and everyone knows it's the answer!

I installed the new Ubuntu 10.10 on my "production" system, Monday morning. It is the best Linux installation and configuration experience I've ever had. No major problems, and I've managed to fix all the little glitches in short order.

A big Thumbs Up! :thumbup:

Tim

I've upgraded my netbook already, but am still not ready to install 10.10 on my main PC. This install of 10.04 is so modified I'm not sure I am going to bother either.

Well after the Maureen incident I can't say that I blame you.

Linux mint is great, i used to have it on a laptop..im forever changing the OS on it though, installed ubuntu recently but i didn't like it... right now i have puppy linux installed. I despise windows but it is what i use on my desktop as there is not much choice when it comes to gaming, i very much doubt that will change in the future but if game developers started making linux compatible games the norm i would switch in a heartbeat.

[crankymoose]

Well I can now say 2 thumbs up :thumbup: to Deja Dup which as some of you may know is a backup utility that comes on a few versions of Linux.

Yesterday am I thankfully did a backup first then set about reformatting my drive with the intent of encrypting the drive as it is a laptop and was not done when it was shipped with Fedora 13-64bit, after a long and grueling day I got the encryption working and finally got Nvidia drivers installed although not the newest version, reinstalled my programs then ran Deja Dup in about 15 minutes all my music (8gb) files for gnucash, (linux version of Quicken) e-mail in evolution and even Firefox favorites were all restored.

I never did get the newest Nvidia driver installed as to install it in terminal it requires xserv or novouea be stopped and when I stop xserv all I get is a blank screen, I tried many methods and either they didn't do anything to stop xserv or if they did stop it I got a total blank screen which makes install a little challenging :lol:

Hey guys!

I wanted to pop in, say hi, and share some more Android news.

I have a Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile's Galaxy S phone) and have been patiently waiting for the release of Android 2.2, aka, FroYo. Well...last night, my patience ran out and I did the unthinkable (given my track record) - I rooted my phone, backed up all apps and data, and re-flashed the firmware with a custom ROM based on Android 2.2!

Gentlemen, I feel like the shackles have been lifted off my phone! This thing flies now! Surprisingly, all of the Samsung and T-Mobile bloatware managed to bog down my 1Ghz CPU powered phone, which resulted in extremely annoying lag, among other problems. Now, it's lean and mean, with a gorgeous interface that contains extremely useful functionality that I previously could only dream of.

I ended up going this route, using this tutorial and the Axura ROM. I'm still in shock that I had absolutely zero complications with this and, in fact, did not end up with a very expensive paper weight!

I think it's time to dig out the Linux machine again. I'm having a hard time prying the Macbook Pro out of my wife's hands.

[blackfoot]

I moved recently. I can't get my computer to connect to the wireless network now. I gave the password. Then it asked something about a keyring. I tried different stuff but nothing worked. Now, it acts like it's trying to connect but won't. It doesn't even as for the password or anything. Any ideas?

I'm not really familiar with ubuntu (which I think you're running), but I suspect that the system was just asking permission to store the wep key/password on your computer so that you won't have to re-enter it every time you connect. Try a complete reboot and see what happens. Otherwise, you're gonna have to find the password manager or possibly the network manager for 'buntu (I don't know what the prog is called) and manually fire it up and edit out the network (and /or any storred password) and reconnect as tho for the first time.

Looked at an iPhone4 today and I would love to have one, but the monthly penance for associating with AT&T is way too high for 2 phones for me and MrsTrucker (http://mrstrucker.blogspot.com/).

I haven't looked at it for a month or so, but I believe it was the Droid X. That is what I have and I love it.

I may start looking at Droid fones tomorrow... T-mobile is having some very good specials on line right now (ie: FREE) and only $10 (for a limited time) to add data to my current plan. Not sure how much data that buys me, but I may give it a go.

any suggestions anyone?

How is T-Mobile's coverage and what's your monthly cost? Can you tether with it?

[Lynchmeister]

How is T-Mobile's coverage and what's your monthly cost? Can you tether with it?

I haven't had any coverage issues with T-Mobile for the past 14 or so years. Yep. I remember the VoiceStream days. :lol: I can get a 3G signal from the Twin Cities that reaches as far as Hudson and beyond (heading east). At home, I'm on the Edge network, but it's still usable/tolerable. Usually, though, when at home I just jump on the Wifi. This has become increasingly more important ever since I discovered The Phillip DeFranco Show on YouTube and flogged T-Mo's network pretty good. You see, while they are unlimited, after 5GB in a given biling cycle, they will throttle your connection and send you a text message telling you to go easy on the data until your next billing cycle. :rolleyes:

Can you tether it? Yes and no. Yes, if you root your phone and install a tethering app. Without root permissions, the tethering apps will not work. Please be advised that T-Mo frowns upon this. (see comments above :lol:)

Is that a pre-paid fixed payment plan?

Fixed. My wife and I share 700 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited data on a family plan.

Edit: not sure how clear I was, but we are billed monthly and do not pre pay.

@Lynchmeister.... re tethering... didn't I read somewhere that Android 2.1 allowed it, but not 2.2? Or maybe that was just a T-mobile thing? :confused:

I installed Linux Mint "Gloria" on my parent's aging Dell desktop. now going on 15 months, it's fine. The only problem I'm having is that I reset the BIOS to boot off the CD-ROm drive first (so I could view and/or load other distros) and it doesn't work.

Anyone with a solution to that issue? Send me a PM I'd be glad to hear from you.

Yes, as texting while driving is illegal for professional drivers.

What I really wanted to say in response to sharing 700 minutes was: Are you sure your wife is a woman?! :lol: But then I wasn't sure how Cory would take that, as my sense of humor sometimes gets misconfused. Besides, Mrs. Lynchmeister might really get torked if she read that over Cory's shoulder.

:whistling: Umm...yeah! In fact, if she were here, I'd tell her right now! (followed by her hitting me. :laugh:


I think you need more flash memory. Hard drives are so yesteryear.

Hey man, these alimony payments to the Czardom are killing me. Gotta use what I have.


:biggrin: It's important to keep the ex-Czar humble. :wink:

I was in Madison and Milwaukee last weekend and I drove past Ho Chunk Casino in Baraboo. I thought about stopping in to reclaim the throne, but my wife was complaining that, due to traffic on I-94, we'd make terrible time and, therefore, couldn't afford an extra stop.

Yeah, every now and then I get a wave of inspiration and decide to jump in and play around a bit.



Nope. Just hurts the eyes to watch TV on a big screen and plot to reclaim the Czardom browse B&B from a 4 inch phone screen.

Yes, and while doing so I saw that imitation wood paneled Le Baron wagon creep by. Was that you again, Dennis? :lol:

Haven't been in your neighborhood in a long time. Although I was in Mondovi yesterday and parked at the truck stop in Cadott, WI last night. At home today way over on the right side of the state.

As I recall the Le Baron is one of YOUR favorites, along with JoHn Voight. I remember taking a pic of one at your Canadian asylum retreat.

Speaking of Canada, I'll bet you are pretty excited about all this new Bluetooth technology. Kind of eliminates the need for things like Ethernet cables these days.

Okay, have a question. I have an application that I want to use that seems to not want to execute. I am guessing it wants Windows. Is there any way I can make it work do you think?

Facebook is just a web app. Most likely it wants a plug in for the browser. What browser are you using? If you're not using it already, try it in Firefox. You may need to install Flash and Java as well.

What are the requirements for running this app? The author should be able to tell you.

If you told us what the app is, maybe someone could help more.

Wine is essentially a windows emulator/interface layer for linux that will allow you to run *some* windows apps under linux. www.winehq.com

I'm having some problems running linux on my new iMac and any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

It's a sound issue. Sound will only come out the internal speakers, it seems oblivious to me plugging in a headphone jack. I've been looking around online for a while but not come up with much aside from one or two others with a similar issue. I've tried linux mint and ubuntu installs and both behave the same, playing around with alsa mixer isn't getting me anywhere fast.

Any ideas what to do or where to look?

Ubuntu and mint are recent issues and the mac is an Intel core i5

I tried Linux Mint 12 with their hybrid Gnome 3 implementation and I just didn't dig it.

Wiped that system and went back to a fresh Linux Mint 11 install. Seems like both Gnome and KDE are getting weirder.

I had a similar issue on one of the earlier Asus eee Netbooks ... the solution is a bit murky right now, but IIRC, I had to manually switch (in software) which sound output I wanted to use. Not sure if it was a hardware or software issue, but either Linux wasn't recognizing -- or hardware wasn't reporting -- the switch that should occur when you plug in headphones.

Hope this helps.

Happy Linux to all!

i had a bad copy, that i tried to put on my current desktop, as a primary OS, it kinda.... didn't like that, after 5 installations (after format) i said screw it... i'm going to make 7 my main and then work on mint as a project. ( i still can't get it working!!)

i have mint 10 running dual boot (with 7) on my laptop. wonderful stuff...

happy linux!! PENIGUIN!

I've been using Lubuntu for a while now. I've used Linus Mint in the past and found it a bit unpolished. I've had zero problems with every new version of Lubuntu so I'm sticking with that.

Just found ths thread and since the Linux forum people arent any real help.....


Have an old Pentium 4 Dell machine with graphics chip on the mobo.

All sorts of dramas with video drivers.
I think some have been deleted / corrupted.

I don't have a CD. Linux Mint 11 was on the machine when I was given it.

Anyone tell me how I can reinstall all the necessary video drivers ?
