Re: Linux Mint 13 "Maya" RC released!
Is there someone here who has used for the installation the apt-get dist-upgrade method ?
Re: Linux Mint 13 "Maya" RC released!
Yes, from Linux Mint 10, with undesired result: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 69#p580669. Don't do a dist-upgrade if you are coming from a Gnome 2 installation. The recommended way of upgrading is by doing a fresh install (http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2).zoli62 wrote:Is there someone here who has used for the installation the apt-get dist-upgrade method ?

Many thanks, your advice is much appreciated.xenopeek wrote:You can install any additional desktop environments that you want. You can add Cinnamon to a MATE installation, or vice versa (or add KDE, Xfce or whichever you want ).

I really like MDM, but it is VERY annoying, when changing a DE, to get a 'do you want it is default or just for this session, or cancel dialogue'. PLEASE let me get rid of it.

DrTeeth, see moorewarner's comment: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 78#p580635. Apparently there is an issue on the RC of installing Cinnamon on MATE or vice versa

Thank you, i 've readed this tutorial. What's wrong with the Gnome 2? There is no problem using Mate as desktop environment?xenopeek wrote:Yes, from Linux Mint 10, with undesired result: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 69#p580669.

A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
you are only supposed to have one mint-info-[whichever-DE] installed at any time, you can have as many DE's but only one mint-info-[DE], the one that comes pre-installed, and that identifies your distribution.
so in this situation, because i believe the OP has now a broken package, the fix is to uninstall the mint-info-[DE-you-are-installing]
all the other required pkgs should install fine.
Re: Linux Mint 13 "Maya" RC released!
I tried to install it on my HP Pavilion ZE2347EA (Which is currently running LM12 with cinnamon flawlessly).
It won't boot in neither normal or compatibility mode, but boots for a while, and once it is trying to switch to graphicsmode the screen goes blank. (I tried both a USB stick and a DVD)
My graphics card is an ATI XPress 400.
Any clue to what I can do?

I am assuming of course that the default file manager in Mint 13 Cinammon is Nautilus.
I can launch Nautilus from the terminal no problem.
I renamed the configuration files
I logged out and in again.
Nautilus did not appear on the menus, unfortunately it hadn't occurred to me to right-click on the menu button at this stage to edit the menu so I don't know whether that would have worked.
I then decided I could safely delete those files and directories and reinstall Nautilus, purging the configuration files if anything still existed:
and belatedly had the idea of right-clicking on the menu button - I was able to add it to the menu.
You gave me good clear expert advice, thank you.

Installed amd64 cinnamon in Dell Vostro 3400. While booting into the live usb, I got the terminal instead of the login page first and it got stuck here. Rebooted the PC and then installation went fine. No issues after installation either. Super work!

Bug #671210 rears its head again.
I was installing playonlinux in Mint 13 RC through the Software Manager when it stopped at "Waiting for config file prompt", as shown in the attached image.

Hi,
I tried the mate 13 version (i386), I got several pbs:
1. first time it ran on my laptop , a second time, the graphic card is not configured correctly,
I had to remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, after that it ran
2. Th sound is disabled, when i cklicked on volume control, I got "waiting for sound system ..." and
waited for long time no thing happed!!!
NB: on the same laptop the previous version mint 12 and LMDE both worked correctly!!!
3. No login desktop sound
4. I wanted to add new login theme, there is problem in the name, the menu gave
file not a tar or tar.gz ???? while it is of course !!!!!
I solved it by renaming the GdmGre... to
MdmGreeterTheme.desktop, and add the theme directly in the folder /usr/share/mdm/themes/linuxmint/
( theses 2 last problems exist in previous version too) /usr/share/mdm/themes/linuxmint/)
Any way thanks for the big work you are doing !!
best regards

I've been told that in my case it's a problem with the kernel version and my broadcom wifi card.CK7 wrote:Im running LM 12.

Perhaps it's the same for you?
Re: Linux Mint 13 "Maya" RC released!
If I install the release candidate do I have to install the release version? Or does the RC transmute into the release version if I keep updating?
