Any updates?

Solved by buying new Z97 motherboard and RAM. Not sure why it happened on the Ultrabook however. I think maybe it is a BIOS software issue. I tried to upgrade the BIOS on the Z87 but it still randomly reported the error. No probs with new motherboard and RAM. Might just buy a new Broadwell Ultrabook.

Same problem with both my Z87 desktop and Ultrabook.

Seems to be a link with VirtualBox.

Same problem here.

Occurs with Mint 17.1 and Fedora 20.

Occurs with Z87 desktop and also my Ultrabook.

Possible link to VirtualBox.

Thanks .. I edited my original post as you replied

So just to clarify ... does this mean a dist-upgrade will be running Mint 17 with the latest packages, or some sort of Mint 18 alpha packages?

Quick question .... I just installed Mint 17. What do I get if I do a dist-upgrade vs an upgrade?

Incorrect.

I had an ethernet connection for the full installation via the Apple USB-RJ45 ethernet adapter.

I am installing Mint 16 RC and trying to install on a Macbook Air late 2012. I had no problems installing Ubuntu 13.10 but Mint 16 RC has a GRUB installation failure. "The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will no...

just did a fresh install on a new computer for a friend and needed to look this up again

a fresh & clean chromium is amazing!

the mint contamination should be reduced in future.

thank you.

it worked ... just make sure to close chromium first!

it is quite amazing having a nice clean & fresh chromium install. very happy.

if Mint need a donation, they could work out methods to just ask people ... rather than this forceful method.

Hi,

I have wasted about 1 hour trying to google to remove the Mint search engine from my Mint 14 installation.

How can I remove the Mint search engine in Chromium?

are you sure this is resolved? i just installed cinnamon 13 and installed all the updates and had a freeze-up with an ivy bridge and HM77 motherboard. reading some ubuntu threads, i think the issue is kernel related. i think i'll move to 12.10 alpha with 3.5 kernel. been running it on my desktop and...

Thanks for the hardwork guys .... some early feedback ... hope it helps improve ... 1. On a Intel P35 mboard with 22" LCD, the grub splash screen was huge. Needs a trim. 2. Immediately after KDE started, I had a KDE crash as per the following: (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_d...

completely agree .. well almost. you use a few small features. i dont use any. it doesn't help me at all. as an example, what is the benefit of having a smooth transition as a screen fades out and another back in. i would much rather an instant & responsive flash as the new screen loads efficien...
