Whenever I open a pdf doc, the Image Magick window comes up with the wizard guy. After that, nothing happens, so I'm not even sure what this application is good for. I can right click and choose to open the doc with Document Viewer, but I'm unable to make this my default application. When I...

I was shutting down the computer tonight and found all this stuck on my screen. I did a force shutdown and it started back up OK. Still, anything with the words kernel and panic in it doesn't sound like a good thing. Also that RIP looks daunting. What is this about?

For the last several months, the email address I use for personal and bills has been bombarded daily with spam emails, like 5-10 per day. It's various, but some recurring ones are Ace Hardware, Dewalt, Kitchen-Aid, Lowe's, weight loss, hearing aids, Fedex spoofing... you get the gist. Blocking...

I have Calc and Writer pinned to my panel. I want to be able to right-click on these icons and see some of my commonly used documents listed, so I can just open them from the panel. In Windows this was called Quick Access. Or at the very least, I'd like to see my recently opened documents...

I'm looking for a free audio enhancer. I used DFX on my Windows computer and really miss it. I looked through the software manager and installed PulseAudio Equalizer, but it wouldn't launch. Anything else?

When I installed Mint, the selection to "Erase disk and install Mint" wouldn't work for me. It kept getting stuck on "Creating ext4 file system for / in partition #2 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda..." and never went anywhere. So I chose "Something else" and flubbed my way through the partitioning and...

I'm new to using a Linux OS. My computer specs are in my signature. Here is my latest issue. I have a DVD+RW full of pictures that suddenly won't load. It's a brand new DVD. I recently stored the pics on there when I switched from Windows to Mint. It worked for a while. I was accessing it...

Admin: I realized after creating this post that I have the wrong forum selected. If the Mint forum is more appropriate, could you kindly move it? Thank you! Mint noob here, and a novice photographer. After installing Mint, I connected my camera (Panasonic Lumix FZ300) to the computer and...

Just did a full install of Mint last weekend. When I start the computer, a few screens flash quickly with all this text, one before the Mint logo and one after. They seem to vary. Is this normal at startup? Just asking because I had some problems installing and messed around with partitions...

Starting a new thread. I decided to reinstall Mint and only Mint. I don't want Windows anymore and the dual boot thing was complicating things. Tried to use my USB stick to boot up again, but it's not working anymore. I'm getting this blue screen with just the word OK. I click OK and then I...

I posted my first post to Getting Started about 1 1/2 hours ago. I got an email with a link to it. One of the mods replied to it. Now it's just gone. Doesn't even show in my profile that I've posted anything yet. What happened?

Hi. I'm a disgruntled Windows user and not real computer savvy. I've been procrastinating on switching to Linux for years, but overwhelmed by all the info and not knowing where to start. Well, I'm finally doing it. I decided on Mint. I've been reading all the info here and elsewhere, but...
