This past weekend I installed Ubuntu on an old Dell laptop and Mint on an old Toshiba. I just want to be able to play Open RA with some friends.
It runs on Ubuntu, but not on Mint. I don’t have the specs of either laptop handy, but is this a software or hardware issue?
2 0 ReplyMost likely a missing package or something, so software. If also depends on which version of Mint you got (Ubuntu or Debian based).
Make a post here when you get time. If you can get a crash dump (e.g. run it on the terminal and copy the output), that'll help a ton in figuring out what went wrong.
1 0 ReplyAw! Well, right before I read this I started installing Ubuntu on the Mint machine.
I have a third laptop I want to do this with, but I have to find a charger. I’ll try Mint again when I get to that.
I’m just trying to set up my buddies with OpenRA so we can have LAN parties like it’s 1999
1 0 ReplyUbuntu is absolutely fine too, use whatever works best for you. But please don't hesitate to ask for help.
1 0 ReplyThanks! Yeah I like it. I’m just dipping my toes in Linux for now, hence using old machines that I’m willing to wipe and start over with
