| How to install mintstick in LL 2.0 |

Mintstick is a GUI to write .img or .iso files to a USB Key. It can also format them.
![[Image: rc72xtf.png]](http://i.imgur.com/rc72xtf.png)
Here is how to install it. You will have to use the command line (because the word Terminal is, apparently, scary for some people  )
1. Download the package file
Code: wget 'http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mintstick/mintstick_1.2.1_all.deb'
Code: md5sum mintstick_1.2.1_all.deb
If it's not go to step 4 and then go to step 1
MD5sum: f0116fa08ec827df80f677c02831d02d
3. Install the package
Code: sudo gdebi 'mintstick_1.2.1_all.deb'
Code: rm mintstick_1.2.1_all.deb
You can also setup a custom action in Thunar for the USB image writer.
1. Open the Thunar file manager
2. Click on Edit and then on Configure custom actions
3. Add A new custom action by clicking on a '+' button
4. Enter this in the text boxes:
Name: Write to usb
Description: Selects .iso or .img file for writing to the usb drive.
Command:
Code: mintstick -m iso -i %n
5. Click on Appearance Conditions tab
6. In the File pattern enter:
Code: *.iso;*.ISO;*.img;*.IMG
To use this to write files from the Desktop you will have to log out and back in.
Now you can right-click on any .iso or .img file and then write that file to usb drive.

| Sound problem |

Thoroughly enjoying my new-found experience with LL. Thanks to several very helpful members on here, I should add.
I've got just about everything going as I want it except one niggly thing. Although LL recognises my laptop's sound card and will play back anything I choose, I just can't seem to get the mic/headphone ports to operate. When I plug my jacks in (singly or together) I get no sound through them - only vis my laptop speakers.
Has anyone had this issue?

| [SOLVED] Just installed Linux Lite 1.0.8, and no sound? |

Well, the subject says it all really... I've just switched from Windows 7 (on which I had sound working fine) to Linux Lite 1.0.8. However, when I try to watch a YouTube video for example, there'e no sound at all  I've looked at the Help Manual, but I can't seem to find anything that helps me... But then again I'm not the best with computers, and probably misunderstood something... But yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated
I've also looked through some of the other questions on here, and often people ask for this I believe... Probably the wrong thing, but I hope it helps somewhat

Might be less confusing if the default netbios name was set to something other than 'lappy' at the top of smb.conf, for example :
Code: #======================= Global Settings ====================================
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Linux Lite Shares
netbios name = linux-lite
...

Hi All,
Complete newbie to LINUX. Using an old XP HP 2510p (2 GB RAM). Linux Lite works fine off the live cd so I assume hardware OK. Installed a new SSD (Kingspec 64 GB) and loaded Linux.
Some outputs :
Code: linux@linux:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 63.6 GB, 63612911616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7733 cylinders, total 124243968 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

/dev/sr0: LABEL="Linux Lite 2.0 32-bit" TYPE="iso9660"
linux@linux:~$
Was really looking forward to using Linux but without Hard drive boot it is no use. Could this be a BIOS issue ??? I have made the Hard drive 1st on bootup - get a GIMP error but cant do anything(wouldn't know what to do anyway)
All help gratefully accepted.
Rgds
John
