QUOTE(bluswhitehat @ Aug 2 2008, 03:35 PM) ohh... Yeah, good idea. Count me in..anyways i think its safest for me to just run without any drivers installed la.. pc is fine without any graphics drivers.. p.s. mint rox.. p.s.s. wanna start a MINT thread? Added on August 4, 2008, 10:18 am QUOTE(bluswhitehat @ Aug 2 2008, 01:27 PM) hey guys. im sure some of you are aware of my driver problems last time..... My rig used the same gc card. I had many hair tearing moments trying to get it working. Use Envy to uninstall whatever previous drivers and then reinstall. It worked for me. Now I could set the display to the Syncmaster 2232BW to its native resolution: a glorious 1680 x 1050!anyways i just installed mint this morning and used envy to install the driver for my NVidia 8600GT .. but.. still same problem la.. with the pixelated screen and little colourful boxes here and there lol.. dunno whats the problem la.. i took my graphics card to the shop they guy said the card is working fine...

You can try it first but if it still crashed like that you might want to reconsider replacing your RAM. If you can borrow a similar type RAM and swap it with yours you might be able to conclude the RAM is giving you that problem.

QUOTE(tan_pang @ Jan 3 2009, 02:25 AM) Quite some time didn't come here, and forgot to check this post... It looked like Gnome because it is Gnome. I used the Mac4Lin Emerald Theme and Mac4Lin Icon Theme to make it look like that.By the way, is the screenshot showing KDE?? Why it looks like gnome?? And how you do that?? |

I find KDE a little 'buggy' and a resource hog. Gnome looks plain but it's very stable and I find customizing it easier than KDE.

QUOTE(DunkyKung @ May 7 2009, 07:20 PM) how to change font in lyn?i found it hard to read..solve my prob which is installing ati driver using this guide http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Ja...rivers_manually Install 'Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts', launch Synaptic and type 'ttf-mscorefonts-installer' in your search boxone more thing,why when i reboot my pc,why the wallpaper change to default? It could be that you stored the wallpaper file inside a drive that is not mounted upon booting. If that's the case move it to your 'Home' folder.

QUOTE(LEVIATHAN @ May 10 2009, 06:36 PM) I am a MoreVPN user, forum.lowyat.net/topic/1020960 Visit this diagnostic page and see whether your problem is one among the list:Jaunty failed to connect to the server. I have installed network-manager-pptp, and pptp-linux. The network icon showed some spinning yellow comet and a tiny lock, however it failed to connect and showed no error dialog. Any idea where I did wrong? http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml |
