How do I play Windows games in Linux Mint?

Q. I just installed Linux Mint 13 on my computer and I would like to play some Windows games on it. I downloaded Wine onto my system but how do I use it? How do I use software I downloaded using the Software Manager?

A. Your best bet is Play on Linux (which uses WINE)
MOST games can run on linux, but you have to mount them as a disk (if they are from ISO)

And just install them they should install all needed windows dependencies and there very few games I have been unable to get running on Linux

Summary, Just install them normally, you may have to open the setup.exe in wine, but you should be fine from there.

How to use Gparted to add free memory partition to C drive?
Q. I have recently gotten rid of linux mint. I was dual booting it and it was sharing memory with my computer and had its own partition. I now need to convert those partitions back to my C drive and I have downloaded Gparted to do this. I realize it would be easier to do with partition magic but tht costs money that i do not want to pay for because this is a one time thing. Anyone know how to do this on Gparted?

A. You just need to delete the partitions and make new NTFS ones. thats it

How do increase my Internet upload and Download speeds?
Q. I have a connections speed which is 25mbps. But when I download stuff it is really slow.....
I tried downloading a OS (linux mint- 881 mb) and chrome says i am downloading at around 50kbps.... KBPS!
so slow!

please help!

A. You have a gross misconception of what KBps and Mbps mean. There are 8 bits in a byte. Your internet speed is measured in megaBITS per second (Mbps). Your download indicator is showing kiloBYTES per second (KBps). What's 8 times 50? Secondly, regardless of what you have for service doesn't mean the server you're downloading from is spitting it out that fast.

Whats the terminal command for linux mint 4 to access lost and found?

Q. I have linux mint 4. I need to wipe my computer off of junk and reinstall. I also want to upgrade my hardrive and reinstall linux mint 7, and the latest ubuntu. I want to get the junk off manually, search and destroy, and then uninstall. I need that harddrive for my other computer, can you help me out? Linunx mint is the way to go by the way.

A. If you are looking to delete and format the Drive with Linux Mint 4.0 on it I recommend you use Gnome Partition Editor (GParted). For this operation you can run off any Ubuntu or Mint LiveCD as Gnome Partition Editor is included

where does mint save your downloaded files?
Q. I am very new to linux mint. I downloaded a couple of files and I can execute them but i cant find them in the hard drive. Anyone know where it saves applications?
I downloaded code blocks on mint. I ran the executible and it got the files. i can run the application but cannot find the files. Any clue where they are?

A. Are you referring to the Synaptic Package Manager? Everything is downloaded into /var/cache/apt or /var/cache/apt/archives

If it is from Firefox or Chrome/Chromium, by default it will be in you download folder ~/Downolads (Note: the Tilde means /home/user or is your [the active users] home folder)

How to get pictures to post on Craigslist on Linux Mint?
Q. I'm posting an ad on Craigslist, and my dad downloaded Linux Mint (Dumbest program ever!), and I don't know how to get pictures off of the SD Card that I have plugged in. How do I retrieve the pictures off of the SD card on Linux Mint?

Thank you!

A. Whichever photo manager is installed on your version of Mint (most likely F-Spot, but possibly Shotwell) should be set to open once a drive with photo media is detected. Your father may not have set that up when he installed Mint, so maybe that's why it didn't launch.

You'll have to manually launch the photo manager, and after that it's simple to import the files to the "Photos" folder in Nautilus.

What is the easiest way to remove GRUb and Linux Mint 12?

Q. I want to reinstall it because I am getting issues with Linux Mint 12 and believe it to be the fault of a bad download. I also want to uninstall GRUB so I can just do a completly clean reinstall since GRUB decided to mess up once I deleted Windows 8 Consumer preview.

A. If you reinstall linux mint you can also reinstall grub at the same time. There is no need to remove grub if you are going to reinstall it.

How to get pictures to post on Craigslist on Linux Mint?

Q. I'm posting an ad on Craigslist, and my dad downloaded Linux Mint (Dumbest program ever!), and I don't know how to get pictures off of the SD Card that I have plugged in. How do I retrieve the pictures off of the SD card on Linux Mint?

Thank you!

A. Whichever photo manager is installed on your version of Mint (most likely F-Spot, but possibly Shotwell) should be set to open once a drive with photo media is detected. Your father may not have set that up when he installed Mint, so maybe that's why it didn't launch.

You'll have to manually launch the photo manager, and after that it's simple to import the files to the "Photos" folder in Nautilus.

How can i install the new linux mint and pclinux os with out a cd/dvd or a flash drive?
Q. Do you guys know of any good tutorials to download linux mint and pclinuxos with out a cd dvd or falsh drive i need a good tutorial im new to this :)

A. If you do not wish to tamper with a real system, you may try Virtual Box by Oracle. In that case you will not need any CD/DVD or Flash Drive either.

Just download the CD image and mount it on a virtual CD/DVD ROM like Daemon Tools.

You may visit the following page for further details.

How do I play Windows games in Linux Mint?
Q. I just installed Linux Mint 13 on my computer and I would like to play some Windows games on it. I downloaded Wine onto my system but how do I use it? How do I use software I downloaded using the Software Manager?

A. Your best bet is Play on Linux (which uses WINE)
MOST games can run on linux, but you have to mount them as a disk (if they are from ISO)

And just install them they should install all needed windows dependencies and there very few games I have been unable to get running on Linux

Summary, Just install them normally, you may have to open the setup.exe in wine, but you should be fine from there.

Whats the terminal command for linux mint 4 to access lost and found?
Q. I have linux mint 4. I need to wipe my computer off of junk and reinstall. I also want to upgrade my hardrive and reinstall linux mint 7, and the latest ubuntu. I want to get the junk off manually, search and destroy, and then uninstall. I need that harddrive for my other computer, can you help me out? Linunx mint is the way to go by the way.

A. If you are looking to delete and format the Drive with Linux Mint 4.0 on it I recommend you use Gnome Partition Editor (GParted). For this operation you can run off any Ubuntu or Mint LiveCD as Gnome Partition Editor is included
