Printer setup not working

We can't print to our HP LaserJet P2015. This should be an easy fix. Thanks

Re: Migrating From 20.2 to 21.1

I would like to know if there is a way to d...

[b]Xubuntu 22.10 can run risc-v software so the next release of Linux Mint 21 probably will too.[/b]

Getting Mint computers out to people who need them

I work with a computer vendor and while a percentage of their sales are Linux Mint I could deliver more Linux Mint computers to those who need them. Most agencies or organizations that do this are set up only for Windows. How do I get Linux Mint computers out to people who need them? Thanks, Joel

Dual boot install warning after Windows 7

Recently I helped a friend install Linux Mint 17.3 XFCE in 'install alongside' mode on what I thought was a Windows 7 desktop. It turned out the desktop was Windows 10 and when I tried to install through the normal procedure it made the Windows unbootable. It seems there should be a warning when thi...

How to change owner of all files with Nautilus

In Linux Mint XFCE we used to be able to change the owner and permissions of all files in a folder and subfolders with Nautilus. Now the option to change all files under username does not appear to be there in Nautilus. When we try to do that nothing happens. These files were copied into Linux Mint ...

Re: SOLVED: Wifi problems on Linux Mint 17.1 XFCE

I think this is a Mint software problem that hopefully will get fixed in Linux MInt 17.2 XFCE. I reach that conclusion because a lot of people are having the same problem. Right now reinstalling Mint seems to be the solution.

I have been using DVD-R but they have always worked well in the past. Why would they be a problem now? I wonder has there been a change in the software to make this a problem? Thanks

SOLVED: Mint 17.1 XFCE won't burn to USB DVD

Previously I could burn DVD's on my Asus USB DVD burner with Mint XFCE but something changed on the latest updates so it starts briefly and then stops making the disc unusable. Any help or hint would be appreciated. Hopefully this is fixed in Mint XFCE 17.2. Thanks.

Kernel 4.0.0 on Linux Mint 17.1

I tried kernel 4.0.0 on Linux Mint 17.1 and could not find anything that did not work. However you probably want to do this on your test computer. If everything does work we should think about changing to 4.0.0 in the near future. See http://www.yourownlinux.com/2015/04/how-to-install-linux-kernel-4...
