Upgrade on linux mint with chromium

I use chromium on linux mint 13 cinnamon and I can't figure out how to upgrade it and its getting really annoying.

Yes, I'll try to help.
You'll need to provide more information, all I know is you "can't get it to work".
I can't guarantee that it will work unless I'm missing a note somewhere that Linux Mint is based on a supported version...from that link the versions of Linux that are supported are:
Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) 5.6 or later (32 bit and 64 bit), openSUSE® 11.3 or later (32 bit and 64 bit), or Ubuntu 10.04 or later (32 bit and 64 bit)

How do I install Linux Mint 17 from USB on Flex 10?

Hello everybody,
I want to install Linux Mint 17 on my Lenovo Flex 10 device.
I tried to make two different bootable installation USB sticks using the Rufus software but when I try to boot from them, the boot menu show only Windows. It seems that Flex 10 doesn't like my USB sticks. One is former Mandriva USB, the other is ADATA S102/8GB USB 3.0. Should I try another USB stick?
I've read several threads relating to this; someone suceeded, more people didn't get any answer.
One suspicious thing is that Rufus says that I need an EFI ISO image when I choose the UEFI MBR or UEFI GPT partition scheme. Isn't the Mint ISO an EFI ISO image? So the only option that remains is "BIOS or UEFI" scheme. I think that should work but it doesn't. They say that Mint 16 already supports UEFI. So Mint 17 should too.
Other thing is that there might be an issue with 32/64bit UEFI. How do I switch between 32 and 64 bit UEFI?
Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?

So I'm going to answer my question myself. * Edit: An ironic note to Lenovo removed. They don't deserve it. *
For everybody who wants to boot or install Linux to Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10:
Flex 10 has a 64-bit processor but a 32-bit EFI (UEFI) firmware!
Therefore I guess most of us have 32-bit Windows pre-installed for it.
Because Microsoft is so poor that they cannot provide us with a 64-bit system with a 32-bit bootloader. Oops, they cannot provide Lenovo with that combination.
And Lenovo, you guys prepared me a hell solving the riddle why only my Flex 10 doen't boot Linux, neither 32-bit distros nor the 64-bit ones.
* Edit: Not removing this one. Yes, you prepared me a hell but it was also a big fun solving the riddle. *
Because the 32-bit distros don't count with UEFI at all (they suppose older firmware, so called BIOS) and the 64-bit ones don't count with a 32-bit UEFI.
So I had to download a bootloader one guy precompiled for others to boot the USB with the installation ISO image for Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. Here is the bootloader file:
https://github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta/blob/master/boot/bootia32.efi
The next post was very helpful to me. There I discovered that I have to download or compile a 32-bit UEFI bootloader:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Flex-10-the-installation-of-Linux/td-p/1516596/page/2
And here I finally followed the instructions how to boot to the USB stick and it helped me a lot in the overall process and progress:
http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/
There you will see that you have to follow these steps:
Shrink your C drive in Windows and create a new partition to be deleted and re-used by Linux (Windows doesn't like surprises).
Turn off the Windows Fast Boot option (or Windows could damage your Linux partitions).
Compile or download (see above) a bootloader for the USB stick.
Boot the stick, make sure the live image runs.
Run the installation from the live system and install your Linux to the space you created previously (by deleting the new partition and creating root, home and swap partitions there).
Boot to the newly installed system using the USB stick (you still aren!t able to boot to Linux from disk).
You can skip the step of compiling WiFi drivers. On Flex 10, they work perfectly out of the box.
Following the instructions on the last linked page, compile Grub for 32-bit EFI and install it onto your disk. Here I suggest a slight change against the instructions. Don't name the compiled Grub "grubx64.efi" but leave the name "grubia32.efi". I don't know why but after leaving this name, my Flex started to boot Ubuntu from disk.
Edit: You don't have to compile Grub. In your newly installed system, issue the three following commands (this will install the Grub version for 32-bit UEFI, remove the 64-bit UEFI version, and clean up possible mess caused by removing it):
sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32
sudo apt-get remove grub-efi-amd64
sudo grub-install
Don't forget to change Grub settings in /etc/default/grub. Also do not forget to run the command "sudo upgrade-grub".
You can skip the step with compiling new kernel with Flex. Hardware support seems already pretty good (except of touchpad).
The touchpad interprets a single tap with a finger as a right click. You can disable tapping and get used to the buttons as a temporary solution. It doesn't swap the buttons if you set so. If you are left-handed as me, you can force the swap of the buttons by issuing xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" from a terminal or from a script that you can run automatically on startup.
I followed exactly the same steps with Linux Mint with a full success.
On the start, I thought that Linux installation on Flex 10 was impossible.
As you can see, it is possible. And if you want, you will succeed and reach that goal.

Linux Mint 13 and Upcoming Win 8 Dual boot

Will it be possible to run Linux Mint with the up coming Win 8 distribution. I have a Thinkpad E530 Edge with Win 7 preinstalled and am thinking of "upgrading" for 15 bucks to Win 8. Will this disable my Linux Mint 13?

OK, no problem with that - the description is OK
My question was if on your system GRUB is in the first sector of the disk vs. in the first sector of the Linux partition - which can be determined in a number of ways:
a) when you power-on your Thinkpad, is the bluish ThinkVantage button (with a special shape and I believe to the left of the power button) take you to Lenovo Recovery?
b) the menu used to select Linux / Windows - how many entries does it have? (if it has more than 2 probably it is the GRUB menu, which for this would be installed in the first sector of the disk, also called Master Boot Record or MBR); if this is the case then installing Win8 (or even reinstalling Win7) might create certain boot problems since GRUB might need a re-installation!

Windows 8.1 will not boot after setting up dual-boot with Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon

In which forum should I ask this question?
After installing Linux Mint onto a partition of my hard drive, Windows 8.1 is listed a choice to boot into after restarting my computer, but will not boot up. It suggests a boot repair and to obtain Windows 8.1 from my distributor. I have seen on other forums
that this has not worked, and I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Upgrading linux 2 to linux 4 with 9.2.0.3

Hello,
I have a 9.2.0.3 on a node with linux 2. I want to duplicate the database to another box. This new box will have linux 4. What should be the strategy for doing this?
The database is not being backup and can be shut down during duplication. I am thinking of shutting it down cleanly. Do a backup control file to trace before shutting down. Install linux 2 on the new machine. Copy the datafiles from the old machine to the new machine. Edit the control file and init.ora on the new machine. Bring up the 9.2.0.3 on the new machine. Then upgrade the linux 2 to linux 4 on the new machine. But after this, what do I need to do with the 9203 on the new linux 4. Do I then do a relink? Are there documents showing how to do migration of 9i from one box to another box with the high os? Thank you.

Why not just install Linux4 on new box and install Oracle 9.2.0.3 on top of it,
after that you have good chance just copy over all the necessary files (control files, redolog, datafile, spfile/pfile etc), setup environment variables (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID etc) and bring up the database without any change.

How do I transfer bookmarks from my XP PC to a new laptop with Linux Mint?

Running Linux Mint on 2011 Macbook pro with OS X Lion

I want to dual boot my Macbook Pro with Linux Mint. I have heard that there are issues using Lion with dual booting Linux? I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to dual boot with Linux.
Thanks for the help!

Hello I run OSX Lion just fine with the "Commodore OS Vision" (Mint 10 based) on my late 2011, Macbook Pro.
the rEFIt bootloader works just fine on harddrives 500gb or lower, on my 750gb drive it doesn't seem to install correctly... I am waiting for a patch
I run everything Natively for best performance... I am not fond of virtualzation.
Here are the steps needed for installing Mint Linux
First within OSX use the disk utility to shrink the main OSX partition. (Usually called Macintosh HD)
Add 2 new partitions with the sizes you wish to designate for a "root partition" and "swap partition".
Format them both with the FAT filesystem.
Next download and burn the iso for Mini Linux, throw it into your drive.
Reboot holding down the "C" key to boot to SuperDrive/CD, the install should be pretty straight forward.
The only part I would like to warn you about is DO NOT resize or change the partitions using the Linux tools.
You can reformat partitions, change filesystem types, etc. just don't resize them or create new partitions without using the OSX disk utility, other wise you will have to sync your GPT and MBR tables using gptsync.
I hope this helps!

I've checked the PKGBUILD in /var/cache/aura/pkgbuilds and everything looks fine....
why is the input/output getting redirected and how do I solve this issue??
It seems to me that there are some new options which aren't in the previously configured pkgconfig, if this is the case how do I select the new options?
Of course I can build linux-lqx manually as I have done initially however, I would like to use Aura as it makes life much easier :-)
Thanks.

Using "makepkg" works no problem like I explained previously.... but that means manual download of the tar.gz file then compile and install.
I was really hoping for Aura to automate things to make life "sightly easier".
Aura is pretty good with everything else, including install/upgrade but just getting this to work.... if not then fine no worries but would be nice if it did work :-)

Distorted microphone with Linux mint in Lenovo G50-70

I have installed Linux Mint 17.1 in Lenovo B590 and microphone works perfectly. I installed Linux Mint on a new Lenovo g50-70, microphone works low and very distorted.
I've adjusted pavucontrol and I deleted to zero right channel mic, works perfectly for seconds but settings are deleted for auto adjusting mic and right channel is activated again. Then microphone works with distortion again.
Thank you for your attention.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

Video problem with Linux Mint 17 CInnamon on new Z70-80 laptop

I read that Lenovo has pretty good hardware support for Linux, so I bought a Lenovo Z70-80 laptop and installed Mint 17 Cinnamon on it. Mint runs without errors, but the video looks like it is underwater or hot oil. Text is hard to read with whole display fuzzy and jittery. Clearly the video driver loaded has problems. On boot up, the LM logo appears rock-solid, without any problems, but once mdm runs, video looks distorted and jittery. Changing resolutions has no effect on the problem.
Identified video hardware says Intel integrated:
lspci -nn |grep VGA
VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics [8086:1616] (rev 09)
But laptop has NVIDIA GEFORCE sticker on it, so perhaps it is running switchable graphics, or that was the design for Windows 8 that came installed on it. I installed bumblebee and rebooted but that had no effect. /# find ./ *NVIDIA* returned nothing, but if Linux doesn't know about the GEFORCE hardware, I don't know how Nouveau is supposed to be made to work.
I also went into the BIOS Configuration / Graphic Device Setting and changed it from the default [Discrete] to [UMA only] to use only the integrated graphic controller, but that also had no effect on the problem.
Not sure what to do next. Could use some help.
Thanks,
Lee

I experienced the same thing.Add "nomodeset xforcevesa" to the grub settings to start linux mint nicely, without the watery/oily jittery screen.So have a look at the following (copy paste in the address line of your brouwser): http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=122257and read the section after; If you can't boot successfully after installing Linux Mint. When this works (it worked for me) see:http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=140689to make the setting permanent in grub.I changed the line in grub to:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset xforcevesa"(don't forget the 'sudo update-grub' command) Next steps to take is to get the proper drivers for the Intel graphics card. (Not covered here. Maybe someone can help on this...). Cheers,Ronald

Linux Mint making deals with OEMs... would love this to occur with Lenovo!

I saw a headline today: "Linux Mint Forges New Deals with OEMs". Mint tends to work pretty well with Lenovo hardware already. Wouldn't it be great it Lenovo were to be one of them? hint... hint...
As a supporter of Linux and a supporter of Lenovo, this would be very exciting news.
