How do I disable the screensaver in mint?
How can I have a continually changing screensaver of My Pictures as I did with WindowsXP?
Hi all ,
How i can disable temporarily screensaver on slackware?
When i watch some clips on youtube or movies it always goes in screensaver after some time if i dont touch the mouse.
how do I install a screen saver on Linux Mint?
I have dual-boot configuration, Windows and Linux Mint. I would like to replace Mint with Slackware. Problem is, Mint installed GRUB and Slackware uses LILO. At the moment I don't have second computer so I can't use help of internet if anything goes wrong, so I need first to make sure I know what to do.
Do I just proceed with installing Slackware and LILO will overwrite GRUB? Or how do I do it?
When I installed mint today from cd, I had to use the save-mode because of the nvidia card. So I was aware I had to change driver after install.
Right after install I checked these '10 thing to first do after install'.

I did these
Improve battery life
Change screensaver timing
Install RAR
Then I checked the driver manager to deal with the graphic driver. I tried all 3 in the driver manager, but with each mint crashes with this message right after login.

cinnamon just crashed you are currently running in Fallback Mode
It asks if I want to restart, click 'yes' and it just refreshes the screen with the same message. click 'no' the message goes away but cinnamon does not work.
So I don't know if its crashing because of the driver or because of those things I changed after the install.
I googled some and this issue is all over linux forums, but I can't find a solution anywhere.
I downloaded Mint and burnt it to a CD. The computer boots up fine with the CD, goes to the Mint home screen, but when I try to install it and partition the hard drive to run next to Windows Vista, the screen completely garbles (green background with short different colored horizontal lines all over it). Is this normal? Should I let it run for a while and it will clear up? How long can I expect the partitioning to take?
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.
Do people like the new mint cinnamon because it looks like windows? When I read reviews there doesn't seem to be any functional advantage with most of these distros, only graphical ones. It seems to me that people who used windows prefer mint and those that have macs like the unity desktop.
Or am I dreadfully wrong?
If I use mint's backup, then wipe out LM13 to install LM17, when I do a restore, does it put back all my settings, styles, wallpaper, etc?
If mint's backup does not, is there a program that will do that?
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I just installed Mint 17 Mate, I created the partition of about 30 gigs, it installes to the point where the linux image is on the desktop, but unfortunately the mouse and keyboard is frozen.
W8.1 64 bit (brand new machine).
I installed the 64 bit Mint Mate iso
It all seemed to be going seamlessly until I started my celebrations
ps. it hadn't gotten to the installation pont where I was able to select the 30g of non-allocated space
Any ideas?
