The plurality of linuxmint
Hi Clem, hi all,
please dont understand mit wrong, but is it advantageous, to have a KDE, XFCE, KDE-Mini and a gnome version of linuxmint?
It seems to me, it is more effective to have the focus on one Desktop-Environment?
The advantages are:
- you are able to concentrate on one desktop
- to bundle the power
- optimized one and therefore do better than 75% oder 90% on each
User, who wants another Desktop-Env. are also able to install this on a gnome oder kde based version, or I'm wrong?
The only thing is, to have two oder more Desktop-Env on one machine running is cuting the stability....
But these arguments are originate of my subjective opinion.

Re: Enabling Compiz functions
Says installed by default.acegeezer wrote:Installed the nVidia driver rebooted and I thought the release notes stated enabled by default, but i have no Compiz functions at all, help please.
Goto XFCE 4 mintDesktop and click enable/disable button next to Compiz.
To disable do the same thing.
To change the Emerald theme just open Emerald Theme Manager, from the menu under Settings.
Try deleting the 2 folders .chache and .config in your home folder.acegeezer wrote:"Goto XFCE 4 mintDesktop and click enable/disable button next to Compiz"
Thanks for the information, merlwiz79, I thought there would be a switch somewhere.
I do have other issues with the beta though, freezing regularly and a black line at base of screen and no taskbar. This does not clear on reboot, I am assuming a broken app' somewhere. I cannot be more specific, though at this point
Then use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to relogin.
Upgrade
I'm currently running release 3, and would like to upgrade to 4 (beta) if possible. Do i have to D/L and install the whole CD or is there an upgrade path i can take "Online" as it were?
I've tried doing an upgrade to 7.10 (using the Update Manager) and of course it's meant for Ubuntu et al, so can't find any "Meta Package".
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers.....

Two small bugs in Daryna XFCE Beta 008
Hi, i locate two little bugs in Daryna XFCE Beta 008.
1. Normaly it's possible in the "Network Settings" to save the settings with a location name. But leastwise on my mashine I can't use this option. I can click on the save button and type the location name but the program won't save it.
2. The windowsize of some program f.e. mintUpdate is too wide for a screen resolution of 1024x768 (my screen dosn't support greater resolution) and there is no maximize button and if I try to change the window size I can only move the window.
