Hello

[revered]

Hi, I am from South America. Been using Linux for some years now. I am using Ubuntu but since they added Unity I don't like it that much.

I am currently using Ubuntu 11.10 + Gnome Shell, but since I moved everything into my new PC which uses an ATI gfx card, gnome-shell has been crashing randomly, this didn't happen when using NVidia.

Anyway I love the fact that Mint comes with gnome, so I think I am going to be testing for stability and maybe start using it as main OS. I also love the MGSE, I am not an expert but I had customized some extensions myself by mixing features from multiple extensions, like the bottom panel, I had added the "show desktop" button before knowing about MGSE like this:


I also added the "show desktop" icon, the "notifications icon" and moved the panel to the bottom for this extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/25/window-list/, which I think is the best window list extension so far. It has thumbs preview and grouping, and it looks beautiful.

But I have a problem, the window list is centered like this:

and I can't make it start from the left.

Now, a question... Will the Mint installer be able to automatically install on an HDD that already has Ubuntu installed without breaking grub or anything like that? Or will I have to do some manual work to get Mint installed along with Ubuntu

Hi revered, welcome to the Linux Mint forums Thanks for joining the forums! I'm not sure on the problem you have, but perhaps post a support request to the Gnome 3 section of the forums, at viewforum.php?f=205. Focus has shifted from MGSE to Cinnamon, so you may want to check that out as MGSE development has, I think, been stopped.

Be sure also to check out the Community website (ideas, tutorials, and hardware and software reviews), and the Cinnamon Spices website for adding themes, applets and extensions to Cinnamon (and check out the Cinnamon Extras package , which will install a lot of these for your automatically).

You can also chat in real-time with other Linux Mint users. In the Mint Menu, in the Internet section, start the application XChat IRC. You will automatically get connected to #linuxmint-chat for general chat and #linuxmint-help for support with other Linux Mint users
