Whenever I type anything in mintMenu, it hangs all the screen a lot of times. I read one man's reply. He said something like
in /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu/plugins/applications.py
line 797 - 803 comment out the lines starting with thr
Code: Select all
if self.current_suggestion is not None and self.current_suggestion in text:
# We're restricting our search...
self.add_search_suggestions(text)
#if (len(self.current_results) > 0):
#self.add_apt_filter_results_sync(self.current_results, text)
#else:
#thr = threading.Thread(name="mint-menu-apt-filter", group=None, target=self.add_apt_filter_results, args=([text]), kwargs={})
#thr.start()
else:
self.current_results = []
self.add_search_suggestions(text)
#thr = threading.Thread(name="mint-menu-apt-filter", group=None, target=self.add_apt_filter_results, args=([text]), kwargs={})
#thr.start()
Please help. I have installed Mint on many friend's computer and don't wanna Mint let down.
Thanks
Update: Opened the applications.py as admin using gedit and did what is there... adding # before thr to comment it out i.e. to make thr a comment.. This way now mintMenu works perfectly.. But still a pain to do this on my so many friends' computers.
