Linux mint - problems ahead!
1) the Network Keyring seems to be asking me for my network connection password everytime i log in. my previous laptop never did it, as it always saved the password and connected automatically. is this normal for Linux Mint? - i went through most of the password and keyrings settings, but doesn't seem to make much difference
2) funnily enough; after going through the keyring settings, i noticed that after restarting the netbook, most of the tool bar tabs just don't appear on the toolbar itself, despite the windows/programms are being opened normally. 3) at every restart, login, there are scripts coming up (after i click Turn Off/Restart -> something abt checking the battery, hal, etc etc) and (Initial Boot -> linux mint startup, linux mint recovery, memory test, etc).. is it normal? is there a way to get it to at least start up directly to the actual Operating System/user ? |
Billy,
Nothing is normal in your complaints: a properly configured Linux does not behave that way. Review your networking factors. |
i tried that, i got the linux mint from www.linuxmint.com turn burned it to a cd and installed it, i also made sure i deleted every single details from the linux linpus (which was the previous operating system on my acer aspire one)

If I'm not mistaken, Mint is based on Ubuntu. I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 on an Acer Aspire One, so maybe the following helps for point 3.
What you describe is the grub menu. I don't think that this is a misconfiguration; it's a fully normal behaviour for a desktop OS and it's the way Mint sets it up. Ubuntu also configures it that way if you use the normal desktop version instead of the UNR version. Below is part of my grub menu that defines how grub behaves. You can edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst (e.g. with sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst in a terminal). Code:
## default num Check your menu.lst against the posted config above. I've never investigated the keyring manager so can't help there. |
thanks guys :)
