Failed to mount smartphone/tablet and problem with Uget

Last minute new problems! Unfortunately, I won't have the time and capacity to deal with these issues, so I can't provide further answers. I bring them to your knowledge in hope that someone could take them into consideration and maybe provide a fix to them so that at least others may benefit. Assum...

Re: Problems with Font, login resolution and OpenDNS

Many times before people let me knew in more or less direct terms that "Time is money, you know..." It makes no sense to me in this case why someone choosing to answer a question would chastise the asker for asking it! If their time is so precious, why are they replying at all? Quoting Ky...

Re: A newbie guide to installing Salix 64bit plus Wine?

Well, I did say I'll post an update of my progress so I'll try to do that. Each step described below corresponds to its number in the initial post. ....................... Just a side note (some have said they couldn't replicate this, though, so maybe the chance to stumble upon it is the proverbial ...

Re: Problems with Font, login resolution and OpenDNS

@ elcore; I appreciate the effort, but I'm afraid I don't understand what a "gfxterm module" concretely is or how is it used, although I've web searched the term. Did you mean I should past that code into etc/default/grub or?!... @ maximus I'm guessing you're connecting via ethernet cable ...

Re: Problems with Font, login resolution and OpenDNS

I've had no success trying to change Grub resolutions by GRUB_GFXMODE and I dont' want a text only interface, if I understood you properly. I guess I'll just have to drop the Grub issue, besides dropping the Fonts one as well. You did not write a word about using the nVidia driver. Also not whether ...

Re: Problems with Font, login resolution and OpenDNS

1. I've tried to change the Font in Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts but it reverts back to default after a new login. No, not on my Salix installation with Xfce. The settings are retained. Well, that's weird. I've web searched about it but didn't really found any such problem. Can nobody really rep...

Re: A newbie guide to installing Salix 64bit plus Wine?

That's good silentwind, but the first step is useless and the dd command will wipe out the FAT32 file system that you just wrote anyway, as well as the partition table of the device. So you can just begin at step 2. I was having thoughts that formatting the usb before dd is not really necessary, bu...

Re: A newbie guide to installing Salix 64bit plus Wine?

I was able to boot Salix live after reformatting the usb to a different file format (ext4) and dd-ing the .iso again. Now I have a problem with Nvidia driver and I will make a new post about that. I’ll continue here after solving that. The problem described must have a different cause. If an ext4 f...

Problems with Font, login resolution and OpenDNS

I have these problems: 1. I've tried to change the Font in Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts but it reverts back to default after a new login. 2. Both Grub's and the login screen resolution do not match the desktop one. I've changed the desktop one from Settings -> Display, immediately after install s...

Re: Nvidia driver nvidia.ko problem!

Oh, sorry, but I forgot to ask the most important questions: Did the above driver & kernel problem happen due to any error on my part? Did I do something wrong? -If yes, how can I prevent it in a future Salix install? -If no, then I suppose it will be fixed in future Salix versions? And/or a wik...
