[size=1em]Hi,[/size]

[size=1em]Trying to finish off a build of a Intel NUC for a friend, not a lot of time due to work.[/size]
[size=1em]Anyway, [/size]
[size=1em]The NUC is "Dual Booting" LL2.8(with Kernel 4.2) & Win7 in legacy mode, after some hair pulling, and then finding out the BIOS is bugged.[/size]

[size=1em]I now want to add Linux Mint,[/size]
[size=1em]So that it "Triple Boots" but I remember reading LL grub does something special to make it easier to "Dual Boot" with Windows.[/size]

[size=1em]So I have to admit I'm not quite sure what will happen if I now install Linux Mint..??[/size]
[size=1em]Will I loose the Grub that currently shows LL & Win7, or will Mint just be added.??[/size]
[size=1em]Do I install it, and immediately run "Grub Repair", or run a LL "Live" and do something..??[/size]

[size=1em]Any pointers on how to do this would be appreciated.[/size]

[size=1em]Thanks...[/size]

How do I add Canon MG2922 Driver??  I searched for the driver and found "2900 series" driver, but nothing happens when I attempt to print.

Just loaded LL 2.6.  Dell wireless card 1395 is not recognized. Works fine on XP. Can someone help me?  I am ready to remove MS XP as soon as I can get this card working. I love this OS. My computer is a Dell Vostro 2510. 

I'm not sure if someone posted this already, but I've found this neat command line feature a while back.

Maybe you all already know about this, who knows.

Let's say you want to type in inside terminal: "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge", but instead, you can just type in "!1".

All you have to do is:

1) Open ".bash_history" located in /home/yourname/
2) Type in to the first line: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge



3) Save, and you are done!
4) Now open your terminal, and for example type: !1 skype (And it will completely wipe out your skype including it's configuration files and all dependencies installed with it).

For example when I want to update my system, I just open my terminal and type in: !1, and then my password. Fast, easy.
Whatever you add to second line in ".bash_history" will be !2 and so on.



Just please don't run the update command I have without knowing what you are doing. Linux Lite devs recommend not to run dist-upgrade.



I'm sure there are ways to bind the command lines to your keyboard macros, But I haven't found how to do that yet.

I hope this tutorial is helpful to someone.

This has reared its ugly head again while running LL 2.6.

This started about three days ago and yesterday removed chrome from LL 2.6 and reinstalled.

Its still happening.

Grateful for any advice.

My old desktop computer used to run Windows 7 but I have wiped the hard drive and now have only Linux Lite installed.
This is great for me but my wife does not like the Linux system and would like to have the Windows 7 installed as well.
I have no idea about using gparted program to set up the hard drive so I can install windows and need someone to give me step by step instructions on how to do it.
Looking at the Gparted set up is really putting me off of trying in case I ruin what I already have installed.

Please help me as the wife is threatening to buy a new windows computer if I cannot sort it out.

Thanks

Need some help, how do i change TEXT color of the icons in whisker menu?

I have used Maxthon web browser recently but have now removed it but when I use Clam it still finds it for scanning.
I have read on another Linux OS forum a post explaining how to do this but cannot remember where I saw it.
Can any members tell me how to completely remove these programs from LL.

Thanks

John
