I have been trying to install the Nvidia drivers on the latest version of Debian, but all I have been getting is a black screen. When I hit ctrl alt f2, I can get to a terminal, but I am not sure where to go from here. When I try to reinstall the drivers, the terminal basically says that these 3 packages encountered errors while processing: libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 Nvidia-driver Xserver-xorg-vidia-nvidia So clearly this is my issue, I just do not know how to fix it. My graphics card is a gtx 970 ...

The answer depends on whether you're using Windows or Mac OS as Operating system. DMG files are Mac OSX Disk Image files, same as disk image ISO files in Windows. The DMG files normally contain program installation files for Apple applications, but they can also be used to hold compressed files. If you're using Windows, then you won't be able to install the application, but you can extract and edit files containing it. For this you need 7-ZIP and DMG Extractor. When you install the Java Developm...

I've been trying to install Java JDK 8 for like 3 days, but after clicking yes to the UAC, no installer or anything pops up. I've tried downloading older versions, tried fixing any registry errors, restarted my inteet, but nothing works. I know I'm downloading the right version for my operation system, but either way, 32 bit nor 64 bit works. However, I can install Java JDK 7 just fine. Any solutions? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Several years ago I installed an application on my then Windows 7, since upgraded to Windows 10, machine. Earlier today I attempted to uninstall it while cleaning up applications I haven't used in a long time. The uninstall failed with an error message about the installer not being trusted. (Cellphone pic because I can't screenshot the secure desktop.) After a bit of investigation I think I found the problem. The signing cert has expired and was revoked by the issuing CA. Stymied with the orig...

I have just installed debian mate on a laptop that has a 4K screen resolution, which by default sets the resolution to 3840x2160. I've been able to change grub resolution to 1280x1024 using GRUB_GFXMODE but the greeter screen and the TTYs will always use the default resolution. I've unsuccessfully tried using GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep or setting it to the same value as GRUB_GFXMODE. I'm running with an intel graphics card, no nvidia or radeon. I've also tried to set it using xrandr although I g...

First make sure you've installed Guest Additions on your virtual machine. If you didn't see this. Go to Virtual Box, your virtual machine and click Settings. Create a folder within host (using Windows 7) or choose one. Remember the Folder name we will use it when setting up our shared folder in guest (Debian / Ubuntu). Wait! Auto-mount? I see "Auto-mount" option there! This option will make your shared folder mounted automatically on guest boot. This is what we want! BUT. Checking auto-mount w...

It took six minutes or so to boot, another couple minutes for GUI login screen to come up, and another couple minutes for desktop manager to show. hdparm gave the following output: # hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 2 MB in 3.75 seconds = 545.64 kB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 2 MB in 4.45 seconds = 459.91 kB/sec I then ran fstrim l...

I am trying to install Wordpress using Microsoft's web platform installer. I went to the Microsoft website and downloaded the installer, and it walked me through the installation. I was prompted to set a MySQL password and it then started installing MySQL itself and froze. It shows download progress at 100% but this progress bar has been going for about an hour now. As you can see, there is not really any activity coming from the installer. Sorry for my sloppy mouse drawing. How can I fix this?...
