Confirmed

Hello team!
After a week of running Gloria RC I experienced a bug: akregator stopped auto-fetch feeds, but it worked when I started with Gloria RC1. Maybe it a native akregator bug, but I decided, you should know...

P.S. Thanks for very convenient and reliable distro! Good work!
P.S.S. Sorry my bad English

OMG! It works again..

A quick question, the installation of a wireless usb in mint kde it's as easy as in mint gnome?. Recently i've installed kubuntu 9.04 and I couldn't install the drivers of my 'linux unfriendly' zonet zew 2505 wirless usb.

In mint 7 gnome I just needed to copy a .inf file.

Favio,
Mint 7 KDE uses the gnome-network-manager.

Yes I know that. But my question is, Mint kde has Windows Wirless drivers?





P.S. sorry for my super crappy English.

[Husse]

Of course it has ndiswrapper

[Favio]

Yes, I've successfully installed the driver of my usb wireless.

Now in retrospective, that was a silly question.

Cannot install the kde desktop from up-to-date (lvls 1-3) Gloria main (VM, all repos enabled) using mint-meta-kde (v7.0.9)
Just checked, get the same error just applying lvls 1/2 in a VM with default repos, with mint-meta-kde (v7.0.7)

Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade

The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences.

mint-meta-kde:
Depends: kio-sysinfo but it is not going to be installed

p.s. libavcodec52 and libavutil49 are also removed on install, is there a specific reason for this?

Mint KDE uses a ppa repo to install KDE 4.2.4, so you need to add it if you are upgrading.

# KDE 4.2.4
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

# KDE 4.3 RC2, amarok 2.1, koffice 2. use by itself to only update amarok and koffice.
#deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main

update and add the gpg keys.
# add kubuntu ppa GPG keys.

thanks boo, that solved it, is there a way (either in debian packaging or mint packaging) to add the repo automatically, so for instance we could have a "KDE Desktop" entry in mintInstall.

EDIT: sorry found exactly how the error is caused

i did sudo kate /etc/fstab and not kdesudo kate /etc/fstab

Code: Select all

could not start ksmserver. check your installation

[emorrp1]

boo: during actual installation:


mint-artwork-kde conflicts with mint-artwork-gnome by providing the oo_about splash

EDIT: I can confirm that after removing mint-artwork-gnome, mint-meta-kde will install successfully, but that doing so unsurprisingly causes the gdm to revert to a less pretty version

I have been running Mint KDE 7 RC for about a month now. The only problem I have is when more the 4 windows are open on a specific desktop, the system crashes. My machine is a Sony VAIO laptop Centrino Duo 2.45 mhz 3gigs RAM. I good way to recreate this on my machine is to open xsane with Firefox. Happens every time. Not sure if this is a bug or not but after 3 installs. it keeps happening. Thanks for any help

[Chastain]

By the way. The crashes stop when I take off desktop affects.

Sound works when I first start Mint KDE, but crashes at some point after. I get a message that HDS Intel Alc888 Analog doesn't work. Why is it using analog (is it supposed to)? Why does it keep crashing? I have had no problems whatsoever with sound in the gnome 32 or 64 bit version of Mint. Thanks.

KDE CE 7 doesn't work at all for me. (the gnome works perfect)
i installed and could not enter the system settings manager, it would always crash on me. and some additional crashes from time to time. so i installed all updates. no change.
actually i couldn't do the updates with mintupdate, because it crashed my computer as well. doing upgrades through apt-get and aptitude worked though.
well no change with those updates so enabled more and more repos installed more and more updates. it got a little better, i can open the settings manager now. but i still get a lot of crashes all the time. it is not usable at all.
i'm sorry but i can't detect any pattern in the crashes. one time i will try to launch amarok for example - computer freezes. next time i try it starts normally. i have no idea what is causing this, but it really sucks. my computer freezes all the time - completely i can't kill X or shutdown. have to throw the hard power switch all the time.

i didn't have those freezes in KDE CE 6

don't think i'm much of a help here, because i can't tell you at all what's wrong. but i still wanted to report

Hi, I'd like to point out that when using k3b to burn an ISO, that in the file dialog for browsing to and selecting the ISO that the bookmark for the "Downloads" folder points to the "Desktop" folder. So far that's really the only issue I've run into.

[condowax]

I noticed that when you right click a folder you have the option to create a RAR archive, but since rar is not installed by default it will just show a box containing a big red X. Also by default there is no widget to show battery state on the panel so laptop users have to add this if they want to be able to check the battery charge. Adding the show desktop widget by deafult would also be nice and maybe making lacelot the default launcher since in my opinion its a bit similar to mintMenu and it works much better than the kick-off launcher.

Clicking on links on writer open konqueror instead of firefox.
