Themes For Linux Mint I3 Wm?

Hello everyone,
Recently, I installed Linux Mint 17 (Cinnamon) on my HP dv6 Laptop. During installation Linux was not detecting my original Windows 7 and was attempting to occupy the entire hard disk. So I used the "Something Else" option to manually create separate partitions for Linux (Previously I had allocated around 120 GB free space for Linux using Windows Disk Management). This installed the Linux but after booting it does not detect Windows 7 and directly boots to Mint. I have tried installing and updating the grub but it did not help either.
Please Help...

I have downloaded the JMRI/Decoder Pro package. When I go to open Decoder Pro I get the screen which asks, Run in Terminal, Display, ,?, and Run. If I select Run I get no response, If I select Run in Terminal The Terminal screen flashes for only a second and dissapears.

I have not been able to get an Icon to launch the program from my desktop.

I am usung Linux Mint 16 (Petra)3.11.0-12 generic (MATE) 1.6.1

JMRI is the standard download for Linux from Source . org.

I am new to both Linux (3 yrs) JMRI had worked with it some in Windows, Totally new in Linux.

I don't know what else to include, I'll be happy to answer questions.

I get kernel panics and computer shut down when trying to install and run Linux Mint 17 Mate and Linux Mint 17.1 on an older HP laptop. The laptop is a Pavilion dv 5140 with 2.0GHz AMD Turion chip, 2.0 Gigs ram and 120GB hard drive. Linux is the only software installed on the computer. Yet, I think my problem is probably related to the hardware? Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this situation? Thank you.

Hi,

I've used Mint for a year, and recently had to install the xfce desktop onto the Cinnamon edition of Mint 17.1, as the laptop it's on is just too old to handle Cinnamon as smoothly.

It seems that since then, my terminal savings, particularly the background image, haven't been saving. It just keeps reverting to a black background, and in the terminal profile preferences menu, the "background image" radio button isn't selected. I can change them from here and they work, but at best they only stay saved until my next boot of Mint.

Any idea what I can do to fix this? Other forums just seem to have given up answering. Thanks in advance!

I bought an old Thinkpad R51 (with Pentium M CPU) and have installed Linux Mint 14 which supports non-PAE CPUs.
The seller said the touchpad did'nt work any more after installing windows 7 (And the OS key was illegal).
I want it to work and found The UltraNav driver which is touchpad driver for the ThinkPad R51 at LenovoDriver.com.

I did not find a version for Linux, though. And I found this comment:
"Your ThinkPad R51′s touchpad might not operate for the reason that the touchpad is incompatible together with the operating technique installed around the laptop. That is ordinarily the case when applying an unsupported version of your Windows OS or an option OS which include Ubuntu".

I downloaded the version for Windows XP and tried to run it in the Terminal. But this is my very first day on Linux Mint (!!!) and I did not get it to work.

Is the touchpad lost forever, or does some solution exist?
Does anyone know?

When I run update manager in linux Mint Mate why does it give me updates for other desktops in Linux Mint? Is it necessary to download these in Mate? Some are listed as 1 priority. Thanks for any answers to this question.

I am using linux mint and the grub menu gets configured automatically using scripts in /etc/grub.d. The menuentry that gets created is something like Code:

"linux mint (on /dev/sda1)"

. I use external drives sometimes and also have linux on my harddrive which I also switch between computers. It gets confusing when it says /dev/sda2 when it means something else. It boots fine because that actual boot command uses uuid. How can I change the text of the (script generated) description to also use partition labels or uuid (or the first few chars) just so I know which install will actually boot. like this: Code:

"Linux Mint (OFFICESSD)"
"Linux Mint (HOMEHDD)"
"Ubuntu (SANDISK)"
"Ubuntu (IMATION)"

I realise (maybe its the best way) I can change the "GRUB_TITLE=Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit" in /etc/linuxmint/info but would rather a smoother way.

I am trying to boot Linux Mint from an 8gb Sandisk USB. I changed my boot settings and it boots into what I believe is called grub? I am given two options, Boot Linux Mint, Boot Linux Mint (compatibility mode). When I select either of them all I get is a black screen. I've tried many things to get around this, messing with my graphics card settings (within grub), different USB's (another 8gb and a 32gb), I tried Ubuntu and that just doesn't boot at all I go straight back to my UEFI settings. I'm very new to Linux and I don't just want to hop in, I just want to boot from my USB whenever I want to play around with it. Thank You

Note: I'm running windows 8.1 currently on a ASUS N550JV laptop. I've been using the UUI from Pen Drive Linux.

When I start my HP laptop, which is dual booted with Windows 7 and Linux Mint 17.1 "Rebecca"(64-bit) and choose to start Mint, the logo of Linux Mint appears and then it freezes and doesn't proceed. Windows 7 is working fine. It was perfectly working for last 2 months.
(My battery back-up is low and cannot give back-up for more than 25 minutes, just mentioned it as it may be associated with this problem).
NB: When I pressed escape while showing the Mint logo at starting, some underlying(?) processes were shown. I have attached a jpg image of that screen. Hope it helps.
