I burned the ISO of linux mint 9 isadora xfce onto a CD(the live version) and when I booted up for the very first time it asked for a username and password, what am I supposed to put in there? Also, should I have my ethernet cable plugged in for the installation of the OS, or is it fine to do it with no internet connection?
View 4 Repliesi bought this laptop for my parents to use with a webcam to communicate because i recently moved to another state. I have read that the logitech c200 webcam is compatible with my laptop, and should just install as soon as i plug it in. However, nothing happens when i plugged it in so i tried to install it from the cd. there is an icon that pops up on the screen when the cd is in, but goes away when it's removed. not sure what type of info you need. my system is linux mint 9 isadora.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Have dual boot winXP, FC6 computer. Clobbered something so FC6 does not boot. Am trying Ubuntu 9.10 CD; tried first to run from CD- but it asks for username and password, will not accept blanks nor my winxp values- keeps 'failing to authenticate'. So I did an install in new partition beyond linux fc6. It finally lets me log in, giving a small text window. How to get to desktop, and is there a way to get to my old home files in linux fc6 in native linux partition?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm totally new to this linux thing and I have a very strange problem. I downloaded the .iso and burned it to CD as per instructions. I had intended to install alongside existing WinXP Pro Sp3. Everything seemed to be going fine until it the installer got to the "User Info" Screen where it asks for my name, the computer's name, password, etc. At that point nothing I did would allow the "forward" button to work. I backed up a step or two and went forward again to no avail. I ended up hitting the hard reset button to get out of it. I never saw any error messages even though I scrolled through the install log at the bottom of the install window. Now my HDD is 60 Gb smaller (The part intended for Ubuntu) under Win XP and I have no idea what to do about it.
My system:
Asus P5NE-SLI Mobo
Intel Core2 Duo 8400 3.0 Ghz
2 Gb ram at 800Mhz
Nvidia 9800GT GPU 512Mb
Win XP seems to be working normally except for the loss of HDD space.

View 4 Replies View RelatedInstalled mint 8 persistent on 16 gb usb with linux live installer. Everything worked fine, even the os and software updates (the first time I had a usb install that had everything work, boot up, wifi, persistence to name a few) I booted It up twice before, the night before I updated os and the software and tried to find a program to rip cd's. this morning I booted it up and It asked for a user name and password. I always use the same user name & password. Now It won't let me in. Do you think It has anything to do with the os update.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't use synaptic. Starting it from the gui appears to make it ask for the root password (of which there is none!). If i sudo synaptic, it starts fine with the appropriate privileges.
I ran into this problem first when I used rhythmbox for the first time. It needed to install plugins for my mp3s, but I can't authenticate into synaptic. The dialogue asks for "Password for root:", where I think it should ask for "Password for $USER:"
Why is this, and what can I do about it.
PS, This is a fresh install of 10.10. When transferring my old userfiles over from my old Karmic install I had to userdel the user I used when installing, and then create another user with the same name and details. The reasons for this escape me at the moment, and no doubt were entirely of my own making, but that's what happened. Has this got something to do with it?

I use fedora 12. I am facing this problem. Not exactly a problem but I can sure use a work around.
I usually connect to wireless network. The connection is automatic so whenever the connection goes down, it is automatically restored.
But sometimes, the connection goes down, nm-applet asks me to enter the password and will not proceed until I have entered the password. I have observed that this usually happens when the request to connect takes a long time or the wifi router does not respond immediately.
Is there way to change this behaviour? I want nm-applet to keep trying until its connected and not ask me for a password. This way I can be sure that my laptop is always connected and does not need my intervention.

When I start my PC I have to enter the administrator password for the KDE wallet, and also the wireless password if I want to connect to the Internet. This is no problem for me, but I prefer not to share those passwords with the other 3 users. I selected the "Connect automatically" option in the wireless connection settings, but it still asks me for the password every time.

I do like a lot of the changes they've made in Lucid (especially the aesthetic ones), but there is one change they made that I don't like, and I can't figure out how to get around it. I have Ubuntu set so that, after 10 minutes or so of inactivity, my screen is blanked, in order to save power. In Lucid, though, whenever I come back to my computer after the screen has been blanked, it requires me to entire my password in order to resume use of my computer. Is there any way I can turn this off?
This next question is unrelated, but I do still feel the need to ask. Why, exactly, did they move the minimize/maximize/close buttons from the top-right corner of the window to the top-left? I know that it probably feels natural to Mac users, but every previous version of Ubuntu has had these buttons in the top-right corner.....why on earth did they feel the need to change it? I've been using Ubuntu for a while now, and it's kind of annoying. Surely most people who've been using Ubuntu for a while were thrown off by this, as well? I doubt that there is any way to change it, but does anyone know if there is?
I found much of the info is out of date. I installed Lucid - my /home was on a separate partition so I did not format it to keep the original settings and mail. When trying to send/receive mail, Evolution now asks for the old login password from the previous install to open the mail keyring. "The password you use to login no longer matches that of your login keyring" There is a box to enter the old PW.
SOLUTION:
-Go to Applications-Accessories-Passwords and Encryption Keys
-Right click on Passwords:login
-Select Change Password
-Type your old login password in the "Old Password" field
-Type your new password in both the Password: and Confirm: fields.
-Click OK
-REBOOT
Evolution will now use your new login password to access the keyring.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and trying to install a printer over the network which is plugged into a Windows 7 machine. I can see the workgroup fine and the computer fine on the network, but when I try to double-click on the computer (both via the nautilus and the printer setup route), it asks me for a username, workgroup and password.
I tried the account's username and password and username "Guest" with no password but neither worked. The weird thing is that when I booted my machine into Windows XP and tried to install the same printer, it never asked me for a username and password and installed just fine. Why is Samba/Ubuntu asking me for the Windows 7 password when Windows XP didn't need it?
I'm new to Linux altogether. I installed World of Warcraft and have it running, but my framerates are low. I have it set to run in OpenGL already, so I figured I'd try to update my graphics driver. I downloaded the driver and it's a .run file. I have it set to run as an executable. When I run the file, I get a window that asks for my password. I input my password and press enter. Shortly, I get a window that says I need to run this file as super user. I tried to go into the command line and I typed "sudo home/nicholas/downloads/ati-driver-installer-10-8-x86.x86_64.run". I put in my password and Konsole tells me "run: command not found". How would I run this file in Konsole using super user?

View 5 Replies View Relatedwe're switching some of our workstations over to Ubuntu 10.04. For the most part, the change has been good. But.... Evolution just doesn't seem to work very well at all. We're using Google apps with our domain, and our connection is quite slow (512/128 VSAT for ~45 users). Evolution has a lot of problems sending and receiving email. I don't know if it's because of the slow connection, but before, we didn't seem to have problems with Outlook. I'm using the Mail.app on my Mac, and it sending/receiving is slow, but things eventually get through.
On the Ubuntu computers, Evolution really seems to get hung up on sending. It just sits there. I've had one user where their messages just sat for a day and never got sent. When I went in to look at it, I canceled, started the process again, and it asked for the SMTP password (which it seems to do a lot). Once it had the password, it was able to send. Receiving, however, was still very very slow and usually nothing comes in (although there are clearly new messages).
