Clem.

Lovely! I'm re-installing Elyssa though (someone didn't like to be hacked, lol)

I had Felicia's ISO downloaded and lost it

Will it be able to update Elyssa? Or should I have one partition with Elyssa and another with Felicia?

Regards and cheers for the goodwork.

Hi all,

Clem:

Linux Mint Gnome Main Edition 6 "Felicia" RC1

I installed it and have performed all system updates


1- mintMenu (a mess) sorry for the rude word.

Part in English - part in Portuguese
(there is a translation of mintMenu for Brazilian Portuguese)
(forum thread - translations)

2 - mintNanny
(all in English) only two words in Portuguese
add - adicionar
remove - remover
There is a translation of mintNanny for Brazilian Portuguese
(forum thread - translations)

These two above need to be fixed (language) Brazilian Portuguese.
---------------------------------------------------------

3- mintinstall
When opened it for the first time, it only showed all apllications
After refreshing mintInstall all categories and sub-categories
are shown.

4 - mintUpload

I've tried to upload a file several times and the service fails.
a small image for instance -.jpg (nautilus-actions are installed) 1.4.1
Service ready - available space -ok
Message: upload failed - operation not permited
55020081118022435 -error
Perhaps server is overloaded (down for a while) - i don't know

It's enough so far. I will go on checking things

BTW - this post above - good story is posted in a wrong place or ...spam

Cheers
Roberto

I myself like this feature of Mint Install, simply because you know you are getting an Up to date set of Pkgs.

Now someone correct me if I'm wrong but even if your using Synaptic, Adept, or one of the other many pkg mgrs in Linux.
Isn't it best to always refresh them when you go to use them, Mainly if it's been a day or so since you used them.

Now that's just IMHO.... Many prob disgaree....

I'm burning the ISO! YAY!

I know the "THRILL" Enjoy....

[marianogedisman]

Well, I tried to install it... It froze when saying "Loading /casper/linuz .... " or something...

Hi,
Yes, you are right. I helped to test mintInstall and i had forgotten this detail. Please, forget about my mistake.


Another problem detected here (minor one). The screensaver doesn't disappear with mouse movements.
The way out to come back to my desktop is to press the key "Esc" (keyboard) .

Thanks
Regards
Roberto

[SpudGun]

Well I kinda figured Mint supported Dual Core but wasn't sure....
This kind of answered my question then.
Right now I'm running a Single Core AMD Turion 64 2.0ghz CPU in this Laptop an Acer Aspire 5100.
But my other one that I've got for backup is a Dell Vostro 1000 with an AMD 64 X2 2.0ghz CPU.
Good to know Thanks.....

Not a prob everyone Messes up including me, as much as I hate to admit it.....

I never had this prob with the Screensaver though.
Even though it may take a couple of seconds of moving the Mouse to get it to come out of it.
And I'm using a Cordless Optical that often times goes to sleep if left unused like that, That's what I chaulked up the delay to on mine.

As far as the Keyboard I've not had a prob either except of using the backspace key instead of the Esc key.
To bring it out of Screensaver.
But that's from using Windows to much.....OLD habits die hard you know....

Qi Jinggong like bird, he would often Yan Zi candle responsible for childcatch a wide variety of birds with Mid-Autumn, specifically assigned toCharles Wu Tsan-wan fire and sword cloth a child by the name of the person in charge of Tiger Modelcandle bird. One day, a candle is not child care, so that the capture Niaofei left. Qi Jinggong so very angry, furious that he prepared to kill the child candle. Yan Zi knew about the matter,Lung Association to kill quickly see running Qijing Gong. He said Qi Jinggong: "Candle child has committed a crime, let me cite one by one to his count, and then by the king to his death overDesire for freedom the crime of him." Jing Yan Zi of the public agree with the request. Yan Zi then send Luyingqiweithe child called candle, in the presence of the Qi Jinggong face charges of childNew and old pants pants enumerate candle, said: "King to send you special care of the birds,Zheng people buy shoes you are so careless Niaofei out, this is the first count; so that the kingZiqingzhiqu because you Niaofei out because of the killings, so that the reputation of the king back to kill, this is the second counts ; If other leaders heard the king this, we think that the king Round cut flat wheelof birds than human life is also heavy, bad from the prestige of the , this is the third count. " Yan Zi listed a candle in one breath child after the three major crimes, Zhu Qi Jinggong child executions.

What has this got to do with anything?

IMHO absolutely Nothing....LOOKS like Garbage to me it certainly has nothing to do with Mint let alone Linux in General.....

hello
I've installed mint 6 on old laptop (Duron 1 ghz, 384 RAM, Savage), and i think I've found strange BUG. When I choose in GRUB standard run options (grub start, I'm pressing enter key and linux starts) desktop won't show, byt when I delete splash option and put vga=791 (which gives 1024x768 vesa resolution) every thing works properly.

I never use splash, so this is not error for me.

Thanks for all your job.

When I run amule, it fails to connect to servers saying, "You have a lowid." I never had this problem before with Elyssa. I still have Elyssa on another partition and aMule works without changes. Any idea, what changes I would have to make to network settings to get it to work? Amules site says it uses port 4662. I don't know how to check if this port is blocked, or how to make it so only amule can use this port if it is a risk to open it.

I will try that, but I wonder why that is necessary with Felicia and not with Elyssa. Thanks for the advice.
