    No login possible after sudo in Mint

    Maybe we could show him how to create another (admin) account and use that account to change the password for his main account?

    Logitech Dual Action Gamepad under PlayOnLinux

    Interesting, so you do have joystick installed? At least you are now upgraded to Mint 17.3 That is a good start. I wonder if your Logitech just isn't compatible with Linux? Mine is really old... at least 8 years old What is the exact model of your Logitech?

    First Linux Game

    Oh nice! yeah, here are my rough-guide steps: Guidelines Take screenshots of every single step... That would be awesome! I totally thought Daerandin did a guide AV2, but I remember his AVP2010 guide. We have done so many, its hard to know which games we haven't posted yet

    First Linux Game

    The Witcher 2 is on my "To Play List" so I'll eventually get to it. The only reason I didn't like TW1 is because the combat was too automated and I felt like I wasn't in control. Then I got to a point where the quests had me going on several goose chases and I never figured out how to finish...

    Yes you can upgrade without having to re-install all of your programs and games, but it can be tedious. I have done it several times and didn't have any major problems. https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/9

    3D NES Emulator

    This is a pretty cool feature to refresh those old Nintendo games... how about playing them with some depth?

    First Linux Game

    I still haven't played The Witcher 3 or Baldur's Gate II. I actually have The Witcher 2, but I hesitate because I didn't like The Witcher 1 very much. It was cool at first, then I got tired of it.

    Logitech Dual Action Gamepad under PlayOnLinux

    First thing I would recommend is upgrading to Mint 17.3 64-bit (Rosa) I've tried using my Logitech Dual-Action controller for a few games and it worked out-of-the-box I didn't have to install anything. I successfully played Kung Fu Strike with two controllers. I also had success with my Xbox...

    Tired of Windows

    Yes, I noticed that for a few weeks now. Google must have moved the repository... I finally unchecked it in my "Additional Repositories" which means I won't automatically receive updates. I think this is why I've had a red "X" over my update manager. Right now its pointing to...

    First Linux Game

    For me it was Doom 3 in Fedora 8 I originally tried Battlefield 1942 in Wine and it actually worked, but it was really full of graphical artifacts. So I ended up using Fedora to host games like Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, Quake Wars, Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2. But I decided to...

    Tired of Windows

    This is what happens on my 3 Mint 17.3 boxes recently... Click Shield with red "X" Update Manager pops up blank Click Refresh Synaptic error pops up Click Close Updates are magically listed Click "Install Updates" This is not normal for Mint. Updates are usually very quick and simple, so I'm...

    Fallout New Vegas Guide

    Thanks MrDeathJr! I really enjoy taking screenshots. I'm always learning stuff from www.deadendthrills.com but I don't go as far as modding the game for better higher quality screens. I try to keep everything vanilla unless its an older game with some really stable texture/asset mods to make...

    Tired of Windows

    I never even noticed a rating for updates. I just assume they are all important since Mint is willing to add them to the update manager. These last two weeks I've noticed the update icon has a red "X" Not sure why.... this is unusual for Mint But doing the refresh seems to reset it.

    Need advice Distro needed, no gaming needed.

    Yeah, I've been hosting LAN parties for years now. 6 computers is a lot to manage, but its fun to invite friends over to play co-op games for free. Otherwise we would be going to Howies Gameshack every month spending money to play games. It has really paid off because all those games I've...
