Yeah, they're installed OK. I'm out of ideas, but that isn't saying much, lolz. Hang fire for Booman, he is much better than I am with POL and WINE. He'll be along soon-ish, I'm sure.

Well, it's not failing with the same error message in that output, the authorization error is gone now that winbind is on the system. Are you saying that it still crashes, after installing winbind, in exactly the same way as it did before? EDIT: I looked at it a bit more carefully, and see...

My work here is done. :) You are fully operational. [No reboot necessary. Whaddya think this is, Windows?]

Looks like a keyring/authorization problem, on the second line. The app is crashing when it can't load the authorization module. Try searching for information on 'ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated'. That is where I'd start. Maybe there is a battle.net forum for support? You have to...

No, maybe it's not called 'google-chrome'. I'm not 100% sure, since I do not run your distro. I was just guessing. After looking it up, though, I think I know what it's called now. Try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall google-chrome-stable If that does not work, try searching for the...

Dan, you can take a look at any number of screen magnifiers, like gmag or gnome-mag. Can you search Synaptic for 'magnifier'? Otherwise: apt-cache search <search term or app name here> Example: apt-cache search gnome-mag

Ok, it went away. Now follow the 2 other steps in post #32. You really have to figure out how to do the copy/paste thingy. It would make your life so much easier. :)

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ It was ignored by apt-get in the earlier post, so it WAS actually there. We know it was there, because we created it. But we don't want it anymore, now that the editing is done. Maybe apt-get deleted it automatically. 'ls' will tell us.

Done and dusted.

Everything you see is normal. Please run sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list-BACKUP Then: sudo apt-get update again. After that, please update Chrome: sudo apt-get install --reinstall google-chrome Then ask the Mint users here exactly how to use your Synaptic window with...

Wow. I did some reading today, and that Zoster is frightening. Do I understand correctly that Zoster is a recurrence of the chicken pox virus, and since we can't get chicken pox twice, it can somehow come back as this?

On my main box running Gentoo, I use a tiling window manager [xmonad] and no DE at all. If you are comfortable in the terminal, I would recommend that you take a look at it. It is available in the Mint/Debian repos. It's written in Haskell, which is an extremely weird programming language...

Dan, is there already data on this disk that you are after, or are you content to overwrite it with zeroes?

George, I edited post #22. Just copy and paste the command .

Not your fault. Sorry George, I forgot the 'sudo'. Do it again with 'sudo' first. Anytime you work in /etc, you must be root. I'll edit the command.

Infinity's already been issued trusted status; I think there's no compelling reason to make such a drastic change to our policy right now. I mentioned that things regarding spammers are better than they used to be; my vote is to see if that trend continues, and then after some time we can take...

Yeah, go ahead with #2, and skip #1 entirely. After you finish #2, synaptic will most likely offer a Chrome update, which you should install. Flash is something we can work on later.

OK, you did exactly what I wanted. You summoned up the text editor, and you have shown me the contents of the file named google-chrome.list. And you're right, it doesn't look like the terminal, because it isn't; it's an editor in which you can read, edit, and save text. There's nothing to be...

George, just because the machine did not spit out any output doesn't mean it didn't work. When you entered 'sudo apt-get clean' it asks for your password, which you entered. Then you saw the prompt return. That is because it did its job already. That's what it's supposed to do. There's no...

Well, you've got the same output you did before, so you didn't do anything wrong. You simply ran the same command again, and got the same result. Please run: sudo apt-get clean and then: sudo apt-get update The 'ls' command output is fine, we will get back to that later. Run the above...
