Hi husse,

is it posible to activate german language in xfce?
With the live cd I try to install the german language, but te xfce menu shows the english version. Also after relogin.

I'm not the maintainer of the xfce edition - Clem forgot to put this post in here so I did it instead

As far as I can remember language support should be there...
Merlwiz will undoubtedly look at this thread

Well I could of swore you only needed to reboot, but that seems that it isn't the case.
You need to run these commands:

Code: Select all

rm ~/.cache/xfce4/desktop/* | rm ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/*

Then logout then back in.

Husse: The reason I didn't post a thread for reporting bugs is because people usually do so in the announcement thread itself, so it's to avoid duplication. Also, the announcement part of the forum is starting to get too big and the KDE edition is coming

I'll be more explicit in the next announcements but I'd like people to use the main thread for reporting bugs.

OK but we've got scattered bug reports all over the place and people asked for the "bug thread"
Maybe you should add post your bugs to the "is out" announcement

@neo67

du wirst währen der Installation ( so ziemlich gegen Ende hin ) gefragt ob weitere Sprachen runtergeladen werden sollen.
Da musst du JA sagen und alles geht seinen Weg. Dabei wird automatisch auch das deutsche Sprachpaket installiert und angewendet.

Du musst allerdings ganz zu Beginn der Installation angeben, daß die Installation auf Deutsch ablaufen soll.

Falls du Fragen hast, melde dich einfach bei mir, ich versuche dir zu helfen.
Ich habe mein System komplett auf Deutsch, ohne das ich irgendwo rumwerkeln musste und ich kann dir Mint nur empfehlen, eine Super Distri mit allem drin was man braucht und es funzt ohne irgendein Tuning

Glad that ubiquity install the German language packages without any problems.(was this the menu also?)
I am glad to hear you are enjoying Linux Mint.

I'm testing Mint xfce on my laptop in dual boot with ubuntu.
When i run mint xfce with firefox and thunderbird it takes around 450 mb ram and if i do the same in ubuntu it is almost 100mb less.
The configuration is the same inclusive desktop effects.
So gnome use less memory?

I have been running XFCE CE Beta 008 all day and never even got to 400MBs.
I have had both Firefox and SeaMonkey running and both stay under 100MBs.
What extensions do you have running?
They may have memory leaks.
I have Adblock Plus, speed dial, and image zoom installed, with the Default theme.
I don't use Thunderbird.

Wasda · Post by **Wasda** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 8:52 am

I have more of them i afraid.
Adblock, fast video download, fasterfox, fire ftp, flashgot, forecastfox, pdf download, splash, tabbrowser preferences, thunderbird biff, translator, ubufox, dictionairy dutch and zoomfox.
I dit not know that i have so much.
But this is in ubuntu and in mint xfce the same. I have copy'd the file to the home of mint so it is totally the same. I dit this also with Thunderbird.

Wasda · Post by **Wasda** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 9:01 am

If i look in the systemmonitor (is this the right place to look?) i see by processes that firefox takes 42,6 mb and thunderbird 23,2 mb.
This is in ubuntu. I have meshed up grub with an update. i have to fix that.

@merlwiz79

After Installation the german language is present without any editing any file!

I have install the xfce in Virtualbox for testing.

@krillehb
All wents fine! Mint is great - really!
You have a very funny flag.....

Wasda · Post by **Wasda** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 4:10 pm

I'am back in mint xfce.
Firefox is using 99,1 mb and mintupdate is 83 mb, sometimes even more.
The total is now 457 mb with thunderbird and firefox, just browsing. but it is working good so far.

I never have firefox running all day, so it never gets really high.
To lower mintUpdate just click on it and input your password.
Glad it's working well for you.

OK, after many hours of downloading I have installed XFCE edition too.

I like it so far. Especially the ability to use tiny 6pk fonts on my desktop. -)

The dark green panel is really too dark, and the virtual desktops there are hardly visible.

The Net panel item seems to not work on me.

Installation of latex209 has produced an error message (as in Daryna Gnome).

I don't really feel a perfomance and boot time boost of this XFCE edition as compared to the Gnome edition. But it is just an impression. I use 1,1GHz Pentium M subnotebook. My memory usage is above 500M (with not too many applications open) but I am happy that the swap partition is not addressed (I still have 700M of RAM free).

1. unfamiliar, odd default font
2. panel size should be ~35 pixels, not 20-something
3. will not be using mplayer (default), prefer totem or xine
4. changed wallpaper to Bianca green, my fave
5. not real happy with dark panel, hard to see, inconsistent with my preferences
6. will not be using office suite, just abiword (which I rarely use)
7. will not play audio stream (low bandwidth) from CBC Radio:
http://www.cbc.ca/listen/
media player acts like it's missing codecs(?)
8. typical Mint problem: clock is set by default to UTC time rather than local time, this causes a +4-hour error which is initially hard to diagnose, especially troublesome for a dual booted system.
...more later

1) Same system font as before and is the same font for all Ubuntu Distros.
2)That is way to big for a screen at 1024x768.
3)No need for a second player by default and almost no room.
5)Not sure why it would be hard to see not like it moves around

6)Never use any of those but they have the best compatibility at the moment.
7)This is because the .asx file is being used as a playlist and the site isn't using it as one.
Right click on the mplayer plugin and save the file.
Now open the file with mousepad.
You should see something like this.

Code: Select all

<ASX VERSION="3.0">
 <ENTRY>
  <REF HREF="http://mfile2.akamai.com/9617/live/reflector:37902.asx?bkup=37903" />
 </ENTRY>
</ASX>

Open terminal and use the url to play the file. Example:

Code: Select all

gmplayer -playlist http://mfile2.akamai.com/9617/live/reflector:37902.asx?bkup=37903

8)Doesn't ubiquity ask that when you select the timezone?
Thanks for your input.

I am working on a light blue theme with the same panel just blue.
Will upload later.
I will also try to make the green one a little brighter.

OK here is the revised MurrinaGreen and the new Murrina-Blue.
Extract to /usr/share/themes to test.

IIRC this stream played "out of the box" with Cassandra Xfce. What gives?

Found this to be a bug in Gutsy.
