This is my original post, part of the newbie process.

Hi Guys, I installed a dual boot config. on a 160 gb hdd. The first choice in grub menu is Linux Lite (latest distro) and the second boot choice is Mint 17.1 Rebecca. I'm encountering a situation that when I boot into LL the system boots OK. Then when I try a restart and boot into Mint it seems to be doing OK until the end of the boot process at which time the screen flashes the Mint logo and then goes dark-then flashes then goes dark every second or so-endlessly. After a while I'm sometimes able to get Mint to finish booting by hitting the esc key. Any ideas how to make this screen flashing situation stop and do a normal boot?
Update: Solved the problem by changing the resolution settings to coincide with those of LL....flashing stopped!
LL and Mint IMHO are two of the best distros for a Newbie to "get their feet wet." - I know, I am that Newbie.
I use following shell script to send email. But the subject of email always shows "This" instead of "This is L_1.R is finished". You may refer http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-define-variable-in-%60ssh%60-4175540566/
Code:
host_list=("c15-0330-01.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-02.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-03.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-04.ad.mtu.edu")
program=("L_1" "L_2" "L_3" "L_4")
subject="The job is finished"
ssh -f c15-0330-01.ad.mtu.edu 'echo' "the job ${program[0]} is finished" '|' 'mutt "zwang10@mtu.edu" -s' "This is "${program[0]}".R is finished";
I just registered, activated the account, logged out and back in and edited my profile. Then, I was taken to introduce myself. I wrote a message, clicked on "Preview Post" and it looks OK, so I clicked on "Submit New Thread". I get no errors. It just takes me back to the previous screen, my post is not there and it tells me that the system detects I have never posted anything. Why? I'm hoping this one message will go through.
Thanks in advance...
EDIT: Now I see how much of a newbie I am! A sign was telling me my message was to be checked by a moderator, but it flashed so short, that I couldn't finish reading it until now. There must be a few copies of my introduction pending. Sorry!
Hi there folks, first post and been using Linux for roughly a week, not an expert but getting the feel for it.
So....my question is: I am in the process of building a studio-rig for music, and previoulsy I used Windows, and managed to get the x64 drivers for my audio card the Delta 1010LT and got it working etc. It came with the control panel as well.
I tried googling for the drivers for Ubuntu Studio (64), but to be honest, like I said being a newbie, I'm not entirely sure I have to download them? Most things I can just request download and install from the terminal in Ubuntu. Does this apply for these drivers or if not does anyone know the location of these drivers?
Much help is appreciated
Hello
I installed fedora 18 on an older apple computer (i.e. replaced the operating system with eight cores). To make a long story short, I did a "yum update" which took hours to complete, but when I attempted to restart my system, I now get the Grub boot loader coming up and showing that the fedroa3-11.10-100fc18x86_64 OS is staring up, but then suddenly the screen goes black and I get a weird message:
" radeon 0000:02:0:Invalid Rom content
system[1]:Job multipathd.service/start deleted to bread in g cycle starting with basic./start"
So, I then place on a USB containing the original fedora 18 I installed earlier, but now, I cannot, using the Grub Menu, to locate the usb or the cd option.
I have tried looking at sites on line for help, but so far nothing has worked...
Can someone help me...I am a Newbie.
Thanks
Hello all:
I am truly a newbie at this and it won't be long before you can see that. I am trying to install centos 6.2 on a DELL P.E 2850 with 16GB or RAM;but I get the following error and the instal halts: "you do not have enough RAM to install CENTOS on this machine". I have tried several restarts but nothing so far. Please - any suggestions?
IMPORTANT: I wasn't sure I could download the file correctly so I bought the discs.
Thanks!

Hello, y'all with vast Linux knowledge, I've built my own gaming desktop, here are the specs:
1-MOBO Asus M5A78L-M LX Plus
2-AMD Radeon Graphics R9 270, 2GB DDR5 Memory
3-2 Hyper X Memory Cards totalling 16 Gb of RAM
Have installed and runninbg Zorin 9.0 Ultimate (Ubuntu 14.4) - MY PROBLEM, I am unable to downlolad any games especially "Minecraft", "League of Legends" and a host of other games on "Steam". I have Wine Geko (32 bit) 2.1 version installed and have Winetricks as well, when I open it I can install a host of games, however, nothing is installed. This is the last straw for me, I have no clue what to do do being a Newbie and unfortunately the folks at "Zoringroup/helpdesk" have been absolutely useless as well. Thanks.
