Re: Linux Mint 17 synoptic package manager crashes ...

2016-11-30 Thread joe
When I try to open the Linux Mint 17 synaptic
package manager, it displays the error messages
shown below, and when I close that error message
pop-up, synaptic closes.

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

What can I do to fix this?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

NOTHING WILL COMPLETE

2016-11-30 Thread Michael
 Well, I don't know about "nothing" but I try to open a libreoffice calc
document and it won't open all the way. Theprogress bar goes almost all the
way but not quite. So I try to open another but the same thing happens.
And another and another. Then I try to update the computer but it
won't. Then I try  to update with apt but it freezes on apt-get update...
this is the last line:

 100% [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::19)]

Then I try apt-get upgrade but the last line is:

0% [Connecting to mirrors.advancedhosters.com (2a02:b48:6:1::2)]
[Connecting to

So I don't know what to do

h as I was typing it started the upgrade again. what is going on?

Re: nvidia + linux

2016-11-30 Thread Nathan

Is this a consistent experience using nvidia and kde for others? Or
nvidia + other wm...?  Curious what people are using, and not being
driven insane with catastrophic bugs, if folks *do * use multiple

I'm running a 1070, binary drivers, and KDE. I've been running Fedora 24 
and I just upgraded to F25. I don't know if I'm running wayland or X, 
regardless everything has been flawless. I have 3 monitors left to right 
with the sides being 1920x1080 and the center being 2560x1440.


I have had a lot of luck with the oss nvidia driver, except the fan 
would run a lot, otherwise it was fine. I stuck with the binary driver 
because it works.


I have a script that runs in .profile when I log in that puts my 
monitors where I want them.


xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --primary --preferred --auto --output DP-0 
--auto --left-of DVI-D-0 --output DP-2 --auto --right-of DVI-D-0



Not sure, again, if that is doing anything, as I don't know if I'm 
running wayland or not. I haven't bothered to look. I just know it works 
and so am I.
