I am building a new PC, if you want to see the specs. they're here : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HQkMgs

I was wondering, would it be possible to burn ubuntu, or any other linux OS onto a disc and treat it like a windows install and boot from disc, or would I have to do something completely different?

Please point me to some good linux device drivers tutorials. I need to create a driver that will read data from I2C bus, parse it and make parsed data available for user space apps.

 

Hi!!

 


I did a tutorial somewhere which talked about using flower brackets { ... } to batch rename files. I can't find where I saw it.

 


I am trying to rename a sequence of PNG images with dates, for example:

 


pic export_00000.png


pic export_00001.png


pic export_00002.png


etc

 


to become


April_21.png


April_21.png


April_22.png


etc

 


Any help would be awesome :)

 

 

I have just installed Linux Mint 17 on a zoostorm pc but after booting up ok, the system operates for periods of half a minute to ten minutes, and then switches off and re-boots. Can anyone advise me as to how to fix this please?

 

many thanks,    G.Marriott

 

 

Hi!!

 

I just installed mintPPC on my PowerBook G4 12" (6,8) expecting it to look like the screen shots at mintPPC.org.  It looks completely different!!!

I downloaded using the mini.iso from a debian mirror site. Have a look at the screen shot of my curent desktop and please let me know what I am actually running.

 

I am brand brand new to Linux and this is my first distribution, so I would very much like to know what it is before I reinstall or try somethhing else. I kinda like the desktop I have now, but it is a bit sluggish and the sound doesn't work.

 

I am downloading a disk image of Ubuntu 14.04 and will try a LiveCD with that, but I really really would like to try MintPPC as from the research I have done, it seems PPC users are quite happy with it.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

 

I installed KDE to my Debian on my VPS but those menus look blurred and are not readable very well, see the image. How can I fix it? Thank you

help meeee[img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/sad.png[/img]

I'm running Mint 16 Petra using Chromium as the browser.

I'm not sure what the true problem is.

I can watch videos on the YouTube site just fine...

But, when I go to watch videos from other sites (Crackle or Wimp) or any embedded videos they come up all distorted and scrunched up with odd colors.

When I go to check my chrome flash plugins, I have two different versions.

/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

/opt/mint-flashplugin-11/libflashplayer.so

Neither one is the "pepperflash" that I'm told that I need for Chronium.

Any idea how I can get this to work right?

Thanks
