Back to Mint

[David Tremblay]

For everyone who have problem after install just do the two following steps

a) just go to system >> administration >> hardware drivers

and activate the driver... it will work then

b) in system >> administration >> synaptic

install ubuntu-restricted-extras

and you will have all the codecs/fonts and whatnot you need
