    Boot times,. Why are mine so slooooow?

    I haven't timed mine but I will. But for now I can tell you that once I reach the Mint logo with the progressive green dots it takes six and a half repetitions to reach desk top. This after considerable time spent in darkness waiting for the boot screen, then more time spent in darkness...

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    An engaging performance, perhaps a bit under the influence, but which influence? A first encounter for me.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    I saw them on a Sunday morning news show. Where they did a song with everyone singing but with just one guitar to keep them together.... it was some kind of wonderful.

    Boo have you got a good back up? If you can find the time can you try the 340 drivers. I think they will work for you. But I also think it will fall on it's face if you try to remove them.

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    Takes up 4 slots!!?? An SSD should only take up one slot the same as the old spindle disk drives. Just different cable connects. I can't even picture this in my poor head!! But just in case, if you wish you can add an USB external SSD in which case all you need is USB 3.0 drive. I'm assuming...

    I can't say VLC wise, don't know Does anyone here have a Nvidia card that can use the Higher than 340 drivers offered in Mint Device manger? (And still get your highest rez above 1920X 1080) I would like to know what you have to have to successfully use the 390 or above drivers?

    The success of the Xserver is due almost entirely to the fact that you don't play computer games. 3D gaming is where Nvidia shines. I believe this to be true, but there is always room for the uninformed to go astray. ":O} One last thing I don't get. Why did you not receive the 340 drivers that...

    For me the oddest thing is Mint installs the 340 drivers at install if you ask it to install 3rd party divers. I have always used this sense they started installing them for me at start up. So why is Mint installing 340 driver and recommending the disabled 390 drivers in Driver manager? The...

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    George I have a 320 gig spindle hard drive, a Barracuda 720 which is very slow compared to SSD drives. Which means you start your back up or restore and then go to bed. Say the word and send me your shipping address and I can have it to you within a week. Your machine will need to be Ribbon...

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    Ok I have determined that All mint drivers will work for me, with a reservation. No driver other than the 340 will give me 4096X2160 the rest all max out at 1920X1080 The only problem I have found with the 340 is that they don't like to be uninstalled even when Mint is doing the uninstall...
