I have an issue with the Software Manager (mintinstall). I click on it to open, I enter my sudo password and then I get nothing, not even loading... I wait for 10-20 min, still nothing.
I'm running Mint KDE 15 - Platform Version 4.10.5 on an Acer Extensa 5635Z, specs:
- Intel Pentium Processor T4300 (2.1 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
- Intel GMA 4500M
- 3 GB RAM
- 320 GB HDD
Code: Select all

LE: I think there's a problem with the repo's, I tried to install FileZilla via terminal and look at the output
