Linux Travelmate B113
I just bought a Travelmate B113-E with Windows 8. I am trying to install Linux. I was able to boot to a USB key by choosing to do it from inside Windows and I was able to resize the partition and install Linux Mint. But I don't get a boot manager during startup, instead I start directly on Windows 8. What should I do?
This is typical. After a couple of hours trying to install and start, I finally managed to get into the BIOS where I could choose to boot Linux Mint (Ubuntu). The first, as many times I chose to restart and then pressing F2, nothing happened and I ended up in Windows 8. This time, I chose to turn off the computer and turn it on then all by pressing F2, and now I could get into the BIOS.
Anyone who is considering buying this computer, be prepared that it is extremely slow with Windows 8. Much slower than my 4 years based on the Atom Samsung NC 10 with Windows XP. I hope that the Travelmate is less slow with Linux, looks better so far.

The problem is that the machine freezes completely without apparent reason, on all operating systems, I tried. "Freezes", I mean there is no reaction to the mouse movements, keyboard presses and start button / stop pressed off the coast. The gel seems to be at a random time and may occur even when the system is idle.
The Acer Travelmate 7750 G laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 and it kept freezing. The machine has been updated level of Windows 8, 8.1, 10, then dual boot with Linux Mint 17.3. The machine froze on all operating systems. I have tested software hard drive, memory, CPU, GPU and they all managed very well. Is it someone who has knowledge about how to resolve or others troubleshoot this please?
RESOLVED - I installed a HDD replacement in December 2015 and the laptop Travelmate 7750 G works perfectly since. Cost me almost nothing compared to the price of the laptop. No freezing, crashing or anything else!
Thank you very much for your help.

After the change of the order of boot devices and put the DVD USB drive first the Travelmate trying to boot off the DVD but then tells me "error in Boot of security. I tried more than 10 times, same error every time. The external USB DVD drive works fine on another computer.
I have also prepared a bootable USB key, but this one isn't even being noticed by the Travelmate.
Does anyone know how to get Windows 7 on a Travelmate?
Thank you very much

upgrade 10 years my laptop travelmate
I have an Acer Travelmate 4502WLMi that I bought almost 10 years ago. I used it almost every day and it has never let me down, even the battery is still ok.
Unfortunately, Microsoft gave up Windows XP and I need to use another operating system.
Windows 7 and Linux Ubuntu 14 Debian wheezy won't work on this old Pentium M 725 processor. I hate to throw things, if they work, I would like to repair or recycle things, so my question is this: is there a processor more recent I can go to? Is this compatible with the motherboard and BIOS?
I already spent several hours trying to answer these questions, but without success. Any suggestions? (outside 'kill the dinosaur').
concerning
Paul
Spec:
Acer Travelmate 4502WMLi
Intel Pentium M 725 (Dothan?) 1.6ghz
drive hard 60g
1 GB DDR
Windows XP pro
The best upgrade for the Pentium M 725 is a Pentium M 755 @ 2 GHz. He has a 100% working chance. It is not more modern, just faster. You'd have the same problems of installation of Windows 7.

What are good Options for installing Linux on a Mac?
I have a Macbook Air in 2013 with a SSD 256 GB and 8 GB of memory. I have 80 GB free. I have Hyperacusis and had problems with a noisy computer a few years back, so wanted to avoid noisy readers.
I need to be able to access my files from either OS X / Mac OS or Linux. This is the biggest problem. If I can't work on the same files in OS X / Mac OS and Linux, I can't really do much with Linux.
I have trouble with some accessibility problems in OS x:
1. I have sensory problems and need to disable more animation and more still of the blinking cursor. I used a hack to disable flashing cursors in some applications, but it does not work in LibreOffice, Pages, Mail, etc. It should work in Scrivener, and I plan to spend to Scrivener. He also works in bean and Textedit.
2. I have problems of coordination/proprioception and could use the wider scroll bars. I currently use Scroll + scroll software, but it doesn't go anywhere. I could use a version of sticky keys, but the current version is not yet there. It shows the active keys on the screen, but I need to update t on the keyboard.
I will need to avoid some problems of accessibility on Linux:
1. I have sensory problems and you will need to disable the animation and flashing cursors. I need to be able to boot Linux with minimum brightness. I tried Kde always open in blinding brightness.
2. I have problems of coordination/proprioception and need to disable the touchpad gestures and listen; This required a patch kernel in Ubuntu, which meant running a non - lts version, which meant not being not able to use the Ubuntu repositories after support missed. I need to be able to keep the visible scroll bars and expand their. Sometimes, I need to use a software of scrolling.
One option is to use refined and a full install. It's intimidating. I'm done with installation of Xubuntu broke at some point because it crashed while it was installing. Another option is to use VMWare Fusion or Parallels or an equivalent Mac of Wubi.
One of these options would allow me to access my files from Linux? Those who would work with my lack of experience and power limited processor programming limited disk space?
Thank you.
Yes, I would say that all VMs are options to save money, I would try to go with oracle virtualbox, it is free I use osx to run a Windows 10 and machines virtual ubuntu it allows me to access the files across, although you mind a program under osx, maybe not 100% safe to use the same format as the same program under linux so that could cause a problem if this is the case.

How to run the file executable python for linux on mac?
I have an executable file coded in python. I can run this program on linux but not on Mac.
Do you have any idea how to run it please?
Thank you.
Python is available in the Terminal, which provides a unix command-line environment.
Some python applications may need to be recompiled to run on Mac. You should maybe download and install Xcode Tools to get full access to all the compilers and related tools.

I'm using Linux Mint 17.2 xfce.
The Firefox I use is 42.0 Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint Mint - 1.0.
Shockwave Flash is 11.2r202.
The browser Flash game is DarkOrbit ( www.darkorbit.com ).
The game was working fine until about 2 months ago.I log in the game (as before) and get on the last page without any problem.
When I click on 'Start' to go to the game client, the screen is black. The browser tab written game client will blink twice.
Please note that everything works fine when I use the chrome Web browser.
DarkOrbit works very well with Firefox on Windows.Is there a way to use the pepper Flash used in Chrome/chrome using the freshplayerplugin wrapper.
Your Linux distro may have related packages for it.
Alternatively, you can use Chrome or chrome for that one site and use Firefox for everything else.

Firefox sync (Linux Mint 17.02)
Hey there! I tried to set up Firefox sync. Remove the .mozilla folder in my home directory synchronization does not work yet to reinstall Firefox several times. I tried to use Firefox 41.02 and 42.0.
The sync connection is successful and Firefox tries to sync (blue circle), but nothing happens. When you go to about: preferences #sync, then to 'Manage', it takes a while to load before you get an "unexpected error".
I'm trying to sync between my laptop and my desktop, the two Linux Mint 17.02.Any suggestions?
Hello
Your first journal suggests synchronization completed. It has a few warnings bookmark weird and disturbing, but otherwise it's okay.
Your second newspaper told me that you are on a network of Unitymedia.

What is the best Linux distribution to work with Firefox (or Thunderbird)?
With the advent of Win8 & Win10, I am considering (re) installation of Linux. I stopped using it because I was not getting timely Firefox and Thunderbird updates. I rely on Thunderbird calendar & Tbird interface.
So what is the Linux distribution to be more likely to be kept up to date?
Thank you
paladin_3Regular distributions Linux versions may be supported for a few years more or less Long term releases of the same or other Linux distributions support there.
The drawback with the LTS (like Ubuntu with some versions) versions, is that they tend to use older packages more stable vs using the most current set.
Older versions LTS which are always supported by distribution may not meet required minimums to use the current version of Firefox for example.
https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/41.0/system-requirements/
The current currency out June 30, 2025 is supported until April 2019, so there are options.
openSUSE is a community which tries to keep some older versions updated when openSUSE drops in support.
https://en.openSUSE.org/lifetime
https://en.openSUSE.org/openSUSE:EvergreenLinux for Firefox 41.0 requirements are the same for Firefox 17.0. However, a big change in a while is GTK 3.4 or newer will be the new requirement, probably to start Firefox 43.0 communicated that he was going to be Fx 42.0 release.

What could be the cause of Thunderbird to set as the favorite in Linux Mint 17.2 browser client. If I reset it to Firefox, the next time I open Thunderbird, it still resets the preferred setting Thunderbird client. When I open Firefox, it pops up a window saying that this isn't the default browser, asking if I want to change. When I click Yes, any link I clicked in Thunderbird previously will now appear in new tabs.
How can I fix it?
Linux Mint just put update to Firefox_41.0 + linuxmint2 + rafaela and now Firefox works fine with Linux Mint.

Firefox 40 (Linux) opens with the white window, no menus without content.
Firefox 40.0.3 (Linux version 3.19.0 - 26-generic (buildd@lgw01-05) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2 - 19ubuntu1)))
Start Firefox (by a shortcut or command line); window opens, but has only the title bar, more buttons min/max/resize. Tried to click blindly, without response. Same thing with "firefox-safe-mode" and "firefox-preferences". Shortcut keys seem to work on the blank screen; for example Ctrl-N still produced a vacuum. 'firefox-private' gives an empty window, but with the correct window title ("you are now browsing... (' etc).
I tried completely delete $HOME/~.mozilla and $HOME/.cache/mozilla/firefox, but that makes no difference.
Very inconvenient. Cannot use FF at all in this State. [Display NB from another machine altogether; ignore the version data and the plugin below]
It was very good work. Play well.
Please report your last post as solved while others will know. -
