I got KeePass2 for passwords and Linux Mint 17.1 won't open KeePass2's .kdbx file. I Googled around and there was some software that said it would open it but I was concerned that they might be scammy (because it's a password protector).
What's a safe way to open the file?
Hi,
Could anyone please explain as understandable as possible how could I on my Windows 8 open either single file or install (and use) entire software which is supposted to work on Linux and/or Ubuntu? I have absolutelly NO experience with Linux and have never used it. Honestly, I don't know if there is any difference between Linux and Ubuntu. I want to be inside my Windows 8 while using Linux files/sofware. The only solution I could think of are actually two but neither of them is useful for me:
1. Vmware (i don't know how to use it)
2. Rent remote computer (vps/rdp) with linux OS installed (this would let me be in Windows 8 while being able to use Linux file/software [on remote computer] but sooner or later I would want to have Windows installed there too)
Tried program Linux Reader but didn't work on my Windows 8. Although I would need solution for installation/usage of software (that can be used only on linux/ubuntu), regardless of details***, the current problem is basically related to single files only: I have two files, both in IMG extension. Don't know how to open them because Deamon Tools doesn't handle IMG. The problem is that filesystem in one of them is "Linux" and filesystem in another is "142". The error I am getting when I try to open them is:
"File with harddrive/disc snapshot is corrupted."
But this is most likely because they are supposted to be used in linux environment, hence such question.
*** when i said "details" I was referring to basically anything: type of software, size, purpose, whether or not it needs network connection, whether or not it contains logging in (username password, etc) requirement, etc.
The following solution for current situation (quoted error above) works only partially:

I am able to open/run/mount IMG if I do what is described on this link (im basically opening iso in this case - see the website) but when opening the virtual drive, the following error message proves that the file can be used in linux/ubuntu only:
"Windows cannot access that drive. Drive could be corrupted. Make sure the drive is in condition that can be recognized by Windows. If drive isn't formatted then format it before usage."
Would need detailed instructions, for total beginner, who has never used linux/ubuntu, what to do in such case: how to use in win8 files/software that are supposted to be used in linux/ubuntu. Also answer on how to open IMG would be highly appreciated.
Kindest regards and thank you a million in advance.
Is there a way to elevate privileges in GUI?
For example, when trying to open a file that requires root to view, unlike Windows, where I would be presented with a prompt asking for admin username/password, Linux would just say that I need to be root to open.

how to open a file automatically at startup in centos /redhat.I want to open open some pictures automatically when my red hat boots everytime
Hello all,
I'm having an issue booting my linux installation after installing refind. I googled the issue but nothing seems relevant to fixing it.
Refind starts up fine and I can see linux (vmlinuz...) but when I select it to boot it says
Failed to open file: install\initrd.gz
Trying to load files to higher address
Failed to open file: install\initrd.gz
It is a dual boot system with Win8. It is an encrypted installation if that makes any difference. Both systems are efi.
How might i go about fixing this? Any pointers and/or relevant threads appreciated
I am running xubuntu 11.10, fully updated, on an Acer 250 netbook (1GB ram, 1.8 GHz clock, single core Atom processor, if you can believe it). Runs pretty well, I think. So much so that I have decided to migrate from Windows to Linux.
My first question to the forum is this: I have set the Thunar file explorer to show hidden files. However, hidden files still don't show up on various File Open or Browse... dialogs.
How can I set up xfce or xubuntu to always display .hiddenfiles in Open... or Browse... dialogs?
Problem comes up when I want to edit some .config file or run the alacarte Main Menu editor and have to specify some long path to an executable in a hidden directory (as in wine). I have to enter the file name manually, which gets to be a problem for my thumb-fingered typing.
I'm quite new to Linux, and after a lot of trials ended up with Mint Mate (dual boot with Win7). I've been using it for a few weeks now with no real problems.
However, I've just transferred my system to a new pc case. The only alteration I made was to change the sata connector cable from sata 1 to sata 0. When I tried to boot to Mint I got screen after screen of errors (all unintelligible to me). I tried the recovery boot and got even more screens of errors. I did once get a desktop showing but it wouldn't actually do anything. So I'm now unable to open Mint – it just says there is an error on the disk drive.
Thank goodness for Win7! That opened first time, no problems – and continues to open fine (and I can access and copy files from there).
Obviously after such a catastrophic experience with Mint I'm going to always stick with dual boot. Unfortunately I'm now very reluctant to trust Linux with anything important – though I do want to go on using it for internet access. Can someone recommend a really stable (but easy to use) Mate distro please? Thank you.
In Linux Mint, I have right clicked on a folder and selected
"Sharing Options" -> checked the boxes to "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder" and "Guest Access..."
When I access the shared folder on Windows 7 it asks for a password. If I type a password in, it works.
I would like to configure it to not ask for a password, but just open the share.
Hello, I have just started using linux and I installed linux mint with the i3 window manager on my laptop. I am wondering how can I "theme" it so that it looks good. Right now everyhting in the terminal when I open something such as MOC is ugly and old looking... SO is firefox. How can I chnage the theme to make it more modern looking?? terminal and everything?
