How To Write Other Language, [i.e. 'Kannada'] Word Documents In Linux Mint 17

Hello guys !
I just ran into the word scripting Language while watching a movie.Is it different than a Programming language ? If yes, then how.
And please explain their usage.
Thanks in advance......

Whenever I log into Hotmail (and usually when I log into Gmail) as I begin writing everything is marked as mispelled, and when I click on Language, I find it has defaulted to French.

I do occasionally work in French, and I am used to the system fefulting to whichever language I have used more recently, but since the last upgrade to 34.0, it always defaults to French. If I have started with Hotmail, it almost always taks two or three tries to change the default; with Gmail it usually catches on the first try.

I am relatively sure this is a Firefox bug, as it does not occur if I open with Opera.

Any ideas? Or should I just be passing a bug report to Mozilla?

I have reasonable experience in linux based systems. I want to learn a scripting language , can anyone out there suggest which one is the best to start with ? I would be grateful if anyone can provide me with links / books references as well ...

hi guys, im having terminal trouble.

i have a libre word file called lintest.odt in the Documents directory (folder). I want to move it to the Libre directory (folder).

Desktop Downloads Libre Pictures Templates
Documents home Music Public Videos


from the root directory i typed cd Documents and then pwd and I got
/home/francis/Documents
i then typed ls and i got lintest.odt

I then typed mv lintest Libre and it says

mv: cannot stat ‘lintest’: No such file or directory

what am I doing wrong?

when i try to see the contents of the lintest file with more lintest
I got ~/Documents$ more lintest.odt

--More--(0%)
and then it locks up the terminal.

im obviously doing something dreadfully wrong.

I have a dual boot installation of Mint 17 Cinnamon (separate / & /home & swap partitions) along with WINXP (c: winxp, D: data on NTFS).

I am not happy with the cinnamon and want to install XFCE 17 (fresh download from mint website).

I have created 3-4 different usb sticks wwith the iso (thru unetbootin, YUMI, unisersal boot installer) and tried to install. The installation freezes on the second screen itself - after asking for the language, it just sits there and waits for something to happen. Tried this 3-4 times but it just keeps the wheel spinning. However, while I am trying this I am unable to use the laptop perfectly well. In fact, I am typing this while the the installation is trying to do something!

I will be very grateful for the help. I am not too well uquipped with the Linux command system and still rate myself as a newbie.

I would like to learn how to create a zip file. The word zip file is a Windows/Microsoft word. I do not know what word is used in Linux OS.
What I am trying to do is send a copy of an internet radio show. The show is two hours long. When I try to attach the audio file to an email. I am told the file is too large.
I have permission from the host of the radio show to make a copy and send it to a friend.

I'm using a Swedish keyboard and switch to English for certain terminal commands. I use English as the system language. In both mint 13 and 15 I was able to keep the Swedish layout after restart; now I have to set the keyboard to Swedish after every restart. In 15 it was possible to have a persistent keyboard layout which differed from the system language. I think it was throught regional settings. In 13 I seem to remember using a command from the terminal which I can neither remember or find. Its not a big thing to set the keyboard layout after restart but its rather annoying. Any suggestions?

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...

Hi,

Before installing Linux Mint 17 to the entire HDD of my HP p2 1317cb desktop, it was running a preinstalled windows 8 OEM UEFI. After several failed attempts of dual booting(no grub menu and boots directly to the windows 8) i then decided to do a erase all and install Linux option. Now i have Linux Mint 17.1 working flawlessly, so far. What i want to now do is, dual boot a windows 7 installation alongside my Linux. Please advise on the best way to do this.
Thank You.

Note: Before doing a clean install of Linux i disabled secure boot,enabled legacy, and disabled fast boot.

I want to show keyboard layout and selection of language at login screen in RHEL 7.

I have modified the language menu to show "show keyboard layout" and "Region & Language settings".
On clicking above menu items, applications are launched but they are not visible at login screen.
I check the programs are running by taking a remote session.

gkbd-keyboard-display -l us
gnome-control-center region

above two applications are executing but none is displaying at login screen(gdm).

How can I bring the applications at top of display manager(gdm).

I have tried
