General :: Mint Bootit Ng And Windows Xp Not Working

Jan 23, 2010

I am trying Linux with the mint cd rom install. I have two hard drives and bootit ng on hdo, with windows xp. I installed mint the first time on hd1 using the install cd. When I booted up I could run the linux but not the windows. I reinstalled bootit ng but had not luck. I reinstalled Linux again and this time tried to get it to install grub on a certain partition but still no luck. I reinstalled it again and this time disconnected hd0 and it worked again and I could run the linux with no problem. But when I connect hd0 I can boot windows but not linux. Bootit sees the other hard drive and can see all the partitions on it but every time I try to boot it just says the partition is not bootable.

I have fiddled with various settings and tried setting the embr and hard drive swap but nothing works. Bootit web site had some help pages that said to run grub from a bootable cd and then type grub> find /boot/grub/stage1. I have tried this but always get error code 15 file not found. grub> find /grub/stage1 same thing I install mint using the following partitions. /boot is about 300 megs. / is about 3 gigs and /home is 8 gigs and /swap is 1 gig. I feel that if some knew bootit ng then they could tell me what to do in five minutes. The hard drive is there and recognized and the partitions are there the system works but I just can not boot to it with out disconnecting the one hard drive

General :: When Switching From Mint To Windows - 70% Of The Time My Wireless Stops Working

Feb 5, 2011

I am currently dual booting between Linux Mint 10, and Windows Vista SP2. Wireless works fine in both these OSes, but when I quit Mint and load Windows, 70% of the time my wireless stops working.

ie, it does not detect any wireless networks nearby, althought there are tons of them.

Restarting the wireless device doesnt help, I have to restart my computer at least 4 times for wireless to start working again.

And as of now, my wireless in Linux Mint has stopped working.

General :: Put Windows Xp In The GRUB Boot Command For Mint?

Apr 3, 2010

I have Microsoft Windows Xp installed on my Primary Drive C: and I had a Mint boot disc that I would pop in and load from. Well I got tired of this disc and installed a new hard drive in my computer so I could use Mint as a secondary OS. Everything went good in the install, and I put Mint on the second drive. But when I boot my computer the GRUB menu only shows Linux Helena Mint 8 to load from and no Xp. Xp is still currently installed on the computer in the Primary drive, but how do I inlcude it in the GRUB boot menu or boot it at all?

General :: Installing Windows Operating System Along With Mint?

May 18, 2011

I wished to know if I can install windows 7 on my system when I am already running Linux Mint 10(as the only operating system on my machine). That configuration is called a dual boot. If you install Win7 first (or it is already present), THEN install linux, you will find that grub notices both and you will not need to mess with the MBR. The better solution is to load mint, add VirtualBox, and install Win7 into a virtual machine. Then you get to run Linux and Windows AT THE SAME TIME!

General :: Mint - Open Windows Not Showing Up As Icons On Toolbar?

Nov 18, 2010

The toolbar is completely empty and when I run apps or open windows, the icons do not show up. The weird thing is when I select 'Panel Properties' and UNSELECT 'expand', then it shows up. But then my toolbar shrinks and doesnt go 100% in width.

I got to the part where I'm supposed to partition Mint. I've got a 500GB hard drive, and I thought I'd give 300GB to LM--but I'm unclear about using ext2, 3 or 4. What about the swap file? Is that automatic?

General :: Wifi Device Isnt Working On Compaq Mini 110 - Mint 10

Mar 26, 2011

I am brand new to linux and i am finding it really frustrating cause i always thought i had quite a knack for computers. ive looked online and searched a bunch of stuff but because im so new to linux i am having a hard time even understand some of the stuff. i really want to get comfortable/fluent with linux and unix and what not.

My netbook model is HP Compaq Mini 110 the distribution i am using is Linux Mint 10

My broadcom wifi device isnt working or something.

When i first installed mint, it said that i needed non-free drivers?

The ethernet cable instantly gave me connection and i was able to run updates but the wifi still doesnt work i think the updates only updated the free ones and not the non-free ones cause i dont remember ever specifying to download the non free ones how do i manually specify to download all available updates?

I also typed:

The output says:

Also when i right click on the little network sign on the bottom right corner, then it says "Wireless Networks device not read (firmware missing)"

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Not Working In Mint 9 KDE?

Oct 28, 2010

I used to run Linux Mint GNOME on my laptop. There was never a problem. I'd connect my Desktop wireless adapter to it and then install the broadcom drivers with ease.

Today I decided to give KDE a try so I installed Linux Mint 9 KDE. All is fine except for the wireless drivers. I get this message in 'Hardware Drivers' window "Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log".

I have noticed that there are not as many Servers available in LM KDE as there are in Ubuntu. Could this be the problem? The drivers are actually not available to download?

Networking :: WLI-TX4-G54HP Not Working With Ubuntu 11.04 Or Mint 10?

May 3, 2011

I have a network at home which is bridged with a WLI-TX4-G54HP.On the bridged segment there are 3 computers and a NAS, All the computers run Ubuntu 10.10 and have been happily working with this and other earlier versions of Ubuntu for a long time. I have just upgraded one of my machines (TEST) to Ubuntu 11.04 and have encountered a strange problem.The bridged section is connected via the Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP ethernet converter which in turn connects to the rest of the network through my wireless router a Buffalo WBMR-G300N.

Now after the upgrade the test machine had an IP address which it must have got from the via DHCP. but the test system will not connect across the bridge. I can ping anything this side of the bridge but cannot ping devices on the other side, including the gateway and vice versa. The other non upgraded PCs will ping across the bridge I tried to install Mint 10 and got exactly the same behaviour. I then got out my very long CAT5 cable and ran it from the switch directly to the wireless router and it works perfectly, this seems to me a perfectly valid work around, however, STMBO for some reason does not. (which is why the lan was bridged in the first place).

Ubuntu :: Nvidia Graphics Card Not Working On Mint

Aug 24, 2010

I activated my graphics card on Linux Mint which is Nvidia GEFORCE GT 130M. Now when I boot up, after bios the loading screen looks like in the picture (sorry its crappy quality). When it gets to the login screen and afterwards it is just blank, but i can tell its running underneath because i can shut down by doing ctrl alt backspace and then tab and enter. I tried entering recovery mode but it was the same. Atm im using a live cd.

Software :: Get Japanese IME Working With SCIM Under Mint(Gloria)?

Jan 24, 2010

I have what seems to be an incomplete or incompletely configured configuration of SCIM on my Netbook running Linux Mint(Gloria).To tell the truth, I am not even sure SCIM is the best choice, since I see claims (in LQ forums) that SCIM has been discontinued, and I cannot connect to the SCIM website.So what I want to do is get SOME Japanese Input Method working under this installation of Gloria, for now, I presume SCIM is the right choice for its front end. But I am certainly open to other suggestions.But I must shrink from the idea of installing language support for all languages, which is what Control Center>Language Support seems to threaten to do: it is only a Netbook, I can't afford to waste that much space.

what I see is the above Control Center option, and one other that must be relevant: ControlCenter>SCIM Input MethodSetup. But I don't see any documentation for this, and the menu item names are vaguely suggestive of their functions, not descriptive. So I am quite unsure which of them I need to use to get it working. Is it true, for example, that SCIM itself does not include the Input Methods? I have to download a Japanese IME from somewhere else? Which one? Is that what Control Center>Language Support will do? What DO they mean by "Front end module"? Why does SCIM only recognize an English keyboard layout and a "RAW CODE" (in IM Engine Global Setup)? have Greek and Russian layouts enabled on this machine, too.So now that you have a pretty good idea how disorienting I find the current situation, please point me to something that will clear up the confusion and possibly even give a list of step-by-step directions for getting a Japanese IME working on this machine.

OpenSUSE Install :: Multiboot With 11.2, Mint And Windows 7

Jun 8, 2010

I am using Opensuse 11.2 for the last few days, and I absolutely love it!! I have a dual boot system at the moment, with OpenSuse 11.2 and Windows7. However, i want to make space for another Linux OS for testing purpose.

More precisely, I have 750 GB hdd space. Windows 7 in C Drive (40 gb ntfs) and OpenSuse has like 30 GB for itself. Rest of the partitions hold data. I want to use one of the empty partitions for another Linux distro. Presently for Linux Mint. This partition may be rotated with other distros later, but i intend to keep Opensuse permanently.

My Question is, if i install Mint now, will its grub configure Opensuse and Windows7 into the loader automatically or will i need to manually change something? I do not want to lose my OpenSuse installation, neither Win7.

Also, is it necessary to have a common /home partition, or can the 2 distros have their own /home partitions? I'll proceed with the install only after i get a go ahead from here (with instructions )

Ubuntu :: Computer "File-Browser Not Working In Mint 7?

Oct 10, 2009

I loaded Linux Mint 7, Gloria, on an Emachine with a 120 gb HD, with 512K ram, dual booted with windows Vista. Re-partitioned the HD into 2 equal portions of 60gb, with 58gb for Mint and 2gb for swap. Got online and got all (>200) updates for Mint 7 Gloria. Mint comes up fine, but if I go to Menu>Computer (file-browser), nothing I click on works. No files will open, (clicking on the little triangles does not open that file).and I can't even close that "page" with the x-box in the upper right hand corner. Any thoughts? A friend thinks is could be the amount of memory (512) and says I should use Ubuntu because it requires less.

General :: Use To Run PC Off Of The CD Without Windows Working?

My Windows XP PC crashed and died. I tried to restore it, but it asks for a system file I don't have. I thought I could start up with the Linux0S2007 CD, but it doesn't seem to recognize the CD drive either. Is there a code or keyboard entry I could use to run my PC off of the Linux CD without Windows working? I have not installed Linux on this PC.

General :: Getting Nagios Check_logfiles Working With Windows?

Apr 8, 2011

I have Nagios working and the check_logfiles plugin installed on my Ubuntu box and NSClient ++ installed on my windows box. My end goal is to be able to get the check_logfiles plugin to flag certain words in Windows Log Files. I can call the check_logfiles from the Ubuntu command line and it works fine when I look at a local log file on the Nagios box. If I try to do something similar but point to a remote windows file the process fails. I have NRPE enabled and I think working on the Windows machine. Before I post Config files etc can someone tell me if my approach is correct? Should I be calling the check_logfiles plugin from the Nagios box or do I need to install the Windows version of Check_logfiles on the remote machine and then make some sort of reference to it in the NSC.ini file on the Windows box.
