Linux Mint 7 RC1 Bug Thread

[newW2]

Do you mean the notifications that came the Jaunty base? Not if it's these notifications that you speak of. Take a look here for an example of what I think you are asking about.

What about the notifications in the upper right corner?

Notifications appear at the top right, shouldn't they appear on the right bottom?

I second that.

@clem:
I haven't gone through all the posts in this thread, so I don't know if the following bug has been already reported. Here it goes:

After I right-click on the Trash icon in Mintmenu and select Empty trash, I can't select the search field in Mintmenu. Also, Mintmenu stays open even if I click elsewhere in the desktop. The only way to close it is either by clicking Menu or hitting the Super key

Yeah, very annoying.

It kills the usability completely.

Mint 7 Gloria is missing wvdial. I can not get to the internet using my 56K modem with out this feature. Mint 6 had this feature.

Removed from Ubuntu 9.04.

So does this mean that Linux Mint should say the hell with dial-up users the way Ubuntu does And what about all the people using USB modems for Verizon, AT&T mobile wireless ?

Like it or not, there's millions of dial-up users in this world. Is it fair (let alone smart) for any Distro to snub market share.....

No reason what so ever that wvdial, Gnome-PPP/KPPP shouldn't be included.......

Linux Mint should have apturl install by default.

What is apturl?
AptUrl is a simple graphical application that takes an URL (which follows the apt-protocol) as a command line option, parses it and carries out the operations that the URL describes (that is, it asks the user if he wants the indicated packages to be installed and if the answer is positive does so for him).

I just got a fresh install from Mint 7 RC1, and got everything updated, through the Synaptics, since I also perform some tweaking and cleaning useless packages.
Those updates set me up to the MintSystem 7.4.6 and MintUpdate 3.7.6
Now, I can't seen to use the MintUpdate tool. The process is similar to other bugs described here: It starts looking for updates then it freezes (turning gray) and stays there.
I managed to get the following error message on the terminal everytime it crashes:

-- Exception occured in the refresh thread: unsupported format character 'a' (0x61) at index 10

Hope it helps the developers!

Ahh and also, having loads of fun with the new distro!

Wvdial is available in the package manager, just select and install.

The folder contents could not be displayed.
Sorry, could not display all the contents of "Music": Failed to get file list: -8: Fixed limit exceeded

That's the error I get when I try to browse the Music folder of my Creative Zen.

(There's a proprietary software that comes with it but it's optional because I remember in Windows XP it would recognize it as a MTP device with WMP11 and I could access the folder to drag and drop my mp3s without problems)

Anyone else got that error before probably with an mp3 player? What should I do?

Response to Rick0713

I still have Mint 6, so if anyone knows how to 'UPGRADE' to Mint 7 by using Mint 6......please advise.

Right.

THE SEARCH WINDOW IN SYNAPTICS DOES NOT WORK... YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE TINY LITTLE SEARCH TO THE RIGHT OF IT AND ENTER YOUR ITEM THERE....

STUPID TO HAVE A SEARCH WINDOW THAT DOESNT WORK..EH....

Search works just fine here.

VUSE DOES NOT WORK..

IT INSTALLS FROM THE PORTAL JUST FINE,
BUT THE ICON DOES NOTHING... YOU CAN CLICK IT ALL DAY LONG
AND NOTHING HAPPENS...

BEFORE YOU BLAME AZURUS... IT WORKED JUST FINE IN ELYSSA... SO ITS YOUR GLORIA..NOT VUSE...

Try running it in a terminal, see what happens.

FIREFOX DOES NOT CLEAR THE BROWSING HISTORY , EVEN IF THE PREFERENCES ARE CHECKED IN THE SECURITY SECTION TO DO SO... AFTER CLEARING ALL PRIVATE DATA, THE HISTORY IS STILL THERE WHEN YOU CLICK THE DOWN ARROW OF THE ADDRESS BAR.

THIS IS NOT GOOD.................

This has been around since Firefox 3 was introduced. There is a work around but it will slow down the browser and only a limited amout of history is saved anyway.

NETBOOKS HAVE A RESOLUTION OF 1024 X 600

MOST OF THE SCREENS AND WINDOWS OVER RUN THAT VERTICALLY BY A TINY BIT , MEANING YOU CANT
HIT THE OK OR APPLY OR CANCEL BUTTONS..ECT...

FIX THE RESOLUTION FOR THAT SIZE..

I don't think all netbooks have the same size screen. Try adjusting your resolution.

Last but not least, turn off your caps lock!

For some reason the OpenOffice 3.0.1 load screen displays 2.4 artwork, when it didn't do this before.

After running Mint for months and staying current on the updates, I got a Mint Artwork update through Synaptic so I told it to go ahead with the update... The package downloaded, wouldn't install and showed a broken package. I reinstalled the package and the error is gone, Mint Update shows NO UPDATES NEEDED but my Open Office 3.0.1 displays the 2.4 artwork with the Mint logo in the lower right hand corner.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Was this update suppose to download as the version number was higher than the current, as I was current until this update appeared.

I updated my desktop (the error above is on the laptop) and the same package error, fix and 2.4 splash screen on 3.0.1 appears.

Oh, I had also done the big Open Office version update that came down last week about 24 hours before the Mint Artwork update appeared...
