Debian :: Make Synaptic On System Look Like Mint's?
Sep 30, 2010Is there a way to make the Synaptic on Debian look like Mint's? You can see how more polished Mint's looks versus Debian's 0.6.25 and 0.70. Mint's complies with GTK styling and has a nicer placement of the Quick Search and nicer toolbar icons IMO.

Feb 4, 2010I'm pretty new to Linux, but I know enough to run only Linux mint 8. (I hate windows)
But I just noticed yesterday, I have a 64 bit processor, and Im running 32 bit version.
The website says that its less stable (The 64 bit), but is it really worse? I find that my processor gets bogged down very easy in my 32 bit. (No freezes though, I love linux )
How do I upgrade to 64 bit without reinstalling the OS?Is that even possible?
What other solutions could there be?

Jan 28, 2011I have double boot windows xp and linux mint 10 on a dell desktop. from the start, linux mint would not completely shutdown. the windows xp shuts down completely. i have tried the commands sudo poweroff, sudo telinit 0 and sudo shut down -h now. not one works. i also have updated to the dvd version and is updated on everything else.
i do not know how to go to bios or perform any programming tasks. may i then request that instructions, if any, be detailed?
General :: Installing Windows Operating System Along With Mint?
May 18, 2011I 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!

Apr 7, 2011I did something weird and now my text size is like 3pt on every system window, but when I go in and change my window fonts to larger to something that looks normal, it makes my clock, bash, and other fonts absolutely gigantic. Is there any way I can just roll back my system and it's settings? It wouldn't be much bother as I installed the OS yesterday. I'd hate to have to reinstall entirely though
View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Can I Uninstall Another System Distro Directly Over Mint On Dual Boot
Feb 18, 2010I think the title says it all really - I've installed Mint onto a Acer aspire 5315 laptop. Its a dual boot system using Vista Basic. Grub works perfectly and to be honest Mint is great. really enjoying playing and learning. My problem is that the laptop overheats when using Mint - the cpu fan doesn't cut in and the laptop shuts down to protect the system. According to a swift google this seems to occur with mint (possibly particularly with Acer's) and maybe with other distro's too. However I'd like to keep trying to see if i can find one that works.
So my rather obvious newbie question is can I just get another distro dvd and install this onto the partition containing mint thus deleting the previous install? If I did this would Grub show the new distro ok or would it keep searching for Mint. I have a back up so if all else fails I can reinstall everything but that will have to wait till I get home
General :: Mint Debian - Can't Get Audio / Need That
Sep 9, 2010I just installed Mint Debian version on an old desktop computer, but it doesn't play audio.
At first vlc even had the whole audio menu greyed out; I followed this, downloaded the deb and installed it. It seemingly recognized my card, but upon reboot, everything is still silent - though vlc now has the audio section accessible.
If I go under audio preferences and select hardware, no device is present.
Here's some information. code...
Any idea what to do to get audio? Everything else works, I'd hate having to wipe the partition just for this...
General :: Is There 'restore Point' (Debian / Ubuntu) Like Windows?
Jul 14, 2010I'm working directly in an Ubuntu Virtual Machine (VM). Some updates (like kernel) were available at the update manager.If I weren't using a VM, I wouldn't update it since it's a risk to break something. Since it's a VM, you can create a Snapshot or export an appliance and restore if something goes wrong.Suppose I'm not using a VM with a Debian/Ubuntu installation. Is there a install-restore approach that doesn't depend in a VM configuration to restore your system exactly before an upgrade (Like a "Restore Point" in Windows), being easy to restore like a VM appliance?
View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Build Distribution Based On Ubuntu / Debian / Mint Easily
Aug 26, 2011Is there a tool or tutorial to build a distro based on mint/ubuntu/debian?Git, scripts, and tools, small compilations for branding are OK. Compiling kernel, x11, gnome, compiz, etc. is BAD unless really required. Specifically, I'm looking for a way to have some applications installed by default, change logos/about boxes, change theme, configure what compiz options are, and add firmware drivers (connect to the Internet to download wireless adapter driver? <- headache, gotta find a lan cable now ...), and still have the liveCD install method. I'd like it to be based on linux mint, but I only want a few tools from it (update manager, software manager, flash, media codecs), so it's ok if it's ubuntu/debian with those mint tools added back in.
I saw some options, too complex, and others too simple. Not looking for a "learning experience" like LFS which gives me a horrible linux build if I don't do something exactly right. Nor any of those tools which are just package pickers and don't do enough. suse studio looked about right(maybe tad too easy), but was RPM based, not deb based.
General :: Use Ralink RT2501 / RT2573 As WiFi Access Point In Debian
Jan 4, 2011I have a fit-PC server with Debian GNU/Linux (Lenny). I would like to use it as a wifi access point since my Linksys WRT54GS has become unstable.I have a USB Ralink wifi NIC. When I insert the card to USB I can see this with lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter.I have tried following various HOWTOs on using wifi card as AP in Linux, however, it seems that the card cannot go into monitor mode. I believe this is because I must use a newer driver or upload non-free firmware or something like that.I have tried installed wicd, but it does not help.
I bought this wifi adapter because I was told that it is one of the most common used Linux supported wifi cards that can be used as access point and a lot of other stuff.How do I set up this USB wifi card as wireless access point in Debian Lenny?

When i connect the Ethernet cable to my computer the two computers symbol in the bottom right hand corner starts searching for a connection, but unfortunately does not find one. it says "no network connection". one thing that is strange to me but might not be to you is that i have installed fedora 12, 10, and 6, and all distros had the same exact problem. i take the cable out of the laptop with Linux and put it back in my desktop with xp pro and it works fine.also my wireless 1395 card isn't recognized but thats an entirely different pain in the *** ill work on one problem at a time..

Dec 9, 2008According to the Linux Mint website, 6 RC1 is considered stable. I'm running Linux Mint 5 and I'd like to upgrade. How can I upgrade without reinstalling?
I'm not new to Linux, I know about using the terminal and stuff. MintUpdate says I'm up-to-date and there's no Distribution Upgrade or anything like that available. Maybe if I switched the "elyssa" lines in sources.list to whatever the equivalent is in RC1? That would cause a truckload of updates to be available, thus upgrading my computer to 6RC1, right?

Ubuntu :: Convert - Upgrade From System Mint Isadora To 10.10 Meerkat?
Sep 24, 2010I have linux mint 9 installed and would like to upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 maverick meerkat without reformatting and reinstalling from cd.
update-manager -d is different to linux mint so I can't go the traditional ubuntu way of upgrading.
Can I at least convert to ubuntu 10.04 and then from that; upgrade to maverick meerkat?
If I woulda known it'd be this hard to try the new stuff out I woulda just stayed with ubuntu the whole time. Linux Mint is still cool anyway.
General :: Mount External USB Drive In Debian To A Mount Point Based On The Volume Name
May 5, 2011How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.
This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).
