Linux Mint 12 with whole disk encryption - just got it running...

Folks, The instructions here: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/344 ...work, but be careful. It requires you to run a separate root and /home partition setup, so plot out how you want to break it up beforehand. Also you REALLY need to pay attention with this bad boy, because if you

"or something like that" (quoting you) means we can't google for an answer. Neither can you. So...dude, you really need to step up your game here, write down exact error messages, and if you can't find anything googling at least we can. Sigh. Look...I just now got Mint12 running myself, using t

I'm trying to install LinuxMint

Well, I tried Ubuntu 11.10 but when I am running of the battery it craashes. So I was told to try LinuxMint. I download it and it runs fine from the CD but when I'm trying to install it it hangs towards the end when it tells me it is 'restoring previously installed software' (or something like tha

Re: panic

The reason I believe LinuxMint is Ubuntu is because durring the install of Mint it asks if I should install beside ubuntu or upgrade ubuntu10 to Ubuntu12. On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 5:06 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > Linux Mint is NOT the next version of Ubuntu. Whatever gave you that idea? > > Michael, d

I was downloading a program and I stepped out for a moment. Well, when I returned the machine was asleep. When I woke the machine up I discovered the download was complete. Is the download good or should I do it again? -- :-)~MIKE~(-: --- PLUG-discus

Re: Errors in Kubuntu or Kate

ROFL !!! One of the things I have always disliked about KDE is the insistence that that jave to roll their own packages and name them with an initial k or kde. I am sure there is sometimes a reason to do that but with sudo? I hardly think there could be a real reason. Of course, I have not yet

Re: Errors in Kubuntu or Kate

Agreed. Maybe kdesudo would play happier. But goofy stuff like that is why I decided to switch away from kde. On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 5:10 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > Of course. And I did ignore it. However, sudo does not give those kinds > of errors in other distros and derivatives where I have u

Re: Errors in Kubuntu or Kate

Of course. And I did ignore it. However, sudo does not give those kinds of errors in other distros and derivatives where I have used it. Kind of silly to give errors saying we know what you are doing and while it is perfectly legitimate and the purpose of using sudo, we just thought we would com

Re: panic

Linux Mint is NOT the next version of Ubuntu. Whatever gave you that idea? Michael, do you ever try to read the pages you go to or do a simple search to answer your own questions? Googling Mint 12 codecs gave the answer in both of the 1sr two results. and looking at the release notes for the Mi

Re: Errors in Kubuntu or Kate

You're running a kde app as root, that's what the sudo thing does. It tries to connect to your kde session and notices that it's owned by you and not the UID of the process you're launching, and complains. If it works, I say ignore it. On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 4:50 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > Anyone

Yeah, I saw it amd I hate to sound stupid but how do you do it? I tried apt-get yesterday when I saw that but it didn't work. Maybe I did it wrong. On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 11:59 AM, Dazed_75 wrote: > If you look at the docs on the assaultcube web site you downloaded from, > you will see this: >

Okay. I got the CD to burn. It took multiple tries. Then Linux Mint wouldn't load on the first try. oh cool Linux Mint is the next version of Ubuntu! How do a download the codecs and stuff I didn't d/l because I could only burn a cd? -- :-)~MIKE~(-: ---

Re: Linux Mint and whole disk encryption

Ahh, now I see this once i get my pc usable again. I may just try this depending on my last results today with Oneiric. Mint doesn't sound suitable for power users yet if they're making hacks for encryption/raid, but at this point can't be any worse than ubuntu. I have to say, after yesterda

Wrong Michael, ALL DVD burners will also burn CDs. Most DVD ROMs will also burn CDs, just not DVDs. CD only devices will not read or write DVDs. On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 1:33 AM, Jim March <1.jim.ma...@gmail.com> wrote: > It won't burn CDs? > On Nov 27, 2011 1:19 AM, "Michael Havens" wrote: > >
