and as soon as i saw that it worked i had to smile and chuckle at my noobness. somehow i knew it had to be something that simple. lol!
thanks bizhat!

I'm new to Django, web development, and pretty much any kind of programming/development in general, so please take it easy on me if this is a dumb question.
I'm trying to get my feet wet and learn a...

So that grub edit fixed the dim screen at startup for me as well..

thanks a lot! i had the same problem under the cinnamon DE and this solution worked for me too!

Have you tried reading the USB on that computer with a different OS? like Windows or some other Linux distro?
Because right now, I've got 3 machines with Mint and all 3 have this same problem....

I don't think so. I've formatted it to fat32... multiple times... with multiple usb drives.

I don't know. this is really weird. I'm thinking it has to be Mint-related because, besides Windows...

yea, that's what i thought at first too. my laptop has 4 usb ports and i tried them all, but with no luck.

so i have this problem that came up out of the blue. i have no idea what possibly could have caused it.

i know this is old, but thanks so much Psychoscorpic, M1ke, and managementboy. this fix worked perfectly for me.

Never mind. I had to reinstall debian because of another grub problem I had, so I don't have this vnc problem anymore..

I have a weird problem. I know there's a few threads about people getting black screens when connecting to a remote computer with vnc, but my problem is slightly different.
I use xtightvncviewer on...

I was actually about to do that, but I wanted to see if I could figure it out so it wouldn't happen to me again.
Thanks.

I get my internet from the local phone company here. It's called DMAX from Puerto Rico Telephone Company.

I think you were right. I disabled upnp and the vnc port was disabled. I have no idea how it got enabled in the first place. Thank god i found out now before anything happened.
Thanks a lot.

Hello all.
I've recently been taking a look at my router settings and I've realized i have my vnc port open for some reason.
I don't know how or why it got opened because I've only used vnc within...

wouldn't it be a little difficult for linux to get 90% of desktop market share due to its fragmentation?
i mean, it would be a little difficult to make products for all the different types of linux...

First i guess i have to say i'm using mint 10. I'm not sure if it's that different from maverick, but I'm putting that out there just in case.
Well, the problem is I have a bluetooth headset which...
