Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
`I dwnloaded mint14 cinnamon from distrowatch.I made a live disc. The disc burned with no errors.I'm currently using Mint 11.Why doesn't the iso disc give a working mint 14? Here's an image of the desktop,which changes to yellow .The panel also is not formed.Is this a defective disc? I use satellite internet connection,and a router. Thanks

check if MD5sum of ISO , if is correct or not.
There is new LM 14.1 ISO to download . you can see : http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2234
Maybe you need try MATE version. Cinnamon not work with some graphic card , you can check your graphic card with Command line .
Open terminal ( ctrl+alt+t) :

Yep like he mentions doesn't look to be a burned dvd issue. Looks like graphics driver issue.
And doing the inxi -Gx command in a term will give more info on graphics card used.

I tried the terminal command got nowhere,what is wrong? Thanks
Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
It sure looks like a graphics driver problem to me. Are any proprietary drivers listed in software sources? I have seen something very similar with ATI graphics when using the open source drivers but not to the degree your screenshots are showing.
Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
Why would I have a graphics driver problem,when I don't with Katya?,zero graphics problems .
What's the story with this? Thanks for your look and opinions;)

Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
My bad,old age weak vision.I should of tried a space.Here's the results:
I found additional drivers in the mint 11 menu,installed the Nvidia graphics driver,but since I have the cinnamon desktop,it says it's for the unity desktop,the iso disc still had the graphics problem.I used another computer,with a different graphics card,and the iso loaded completely,and use was normal,so it is a problem with my Asus graphics .
Would installing this driver help cinnamon? How is this activated? Thanks to all

Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
Katya (LM11 ) is still using Gnome2. I think there is still a problem with geforce 6100 and geforce FX5xxx family with gnome shell and variant. I have bad experience with geforce FX 5500 from LM12. I am abandon using a card as well the machine it self ( old P4 with AGP mobo ).
Additional drivers move to menu>preferences>software source. But don't expect a good result ( you can try it anyway )
I am advise you are try MATE version.

Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
Thanks ,I ruined my Katya,had to reinstall trying the unity graphics driver.I'll wait.Strange how the cinnamon mint 14 works fine on my 2003 Hp Pavillion pentium 2,yet does not work on the 2007 ASUS AMD dual core desktop .All other Linux distros have worked just fine on the ASUS.
Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo

Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
Mint 14 Mate works just fine out of the optical drive in the ASUS machine,but Cinnamon...no.I'm told it's a graphics driver problem,which driver I need I don't know.I thought Mint came with all drivers needed?
Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
I have the same problem here with my notebook.
Mint 13 Xfce and Xubuntu 12.04 are running fine.
If I try Mint 14 Xfce or Xubuntu 12.10 as live cd I also get a bad screen display, see pic attached.
inxi -Gx reports:
Graphics: Card: S3 VT8375 [Prosavage8 KM266/KL266]
So something in the basics has been changed, all new versions Xubuntu 12.10, Lubuntu 12.10 and Mint Xfce 14 show the same behavior here.

@linuxbastler,
you didn't give information about your glx renderer, In LM13, my VIA PM800/900 show drivers in use is openchrome and GLX renderer is Gallium llvmpipe.
If LM13 works fine , i recommended keep used it ( and it supported until 2017 )

Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
this is the complete output inxi -Gx gives me under Mint 13:
Graphics: Card: S3 VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] bus-ID: 01:00.0
X.Org: 1.11.3 drivers: savage (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1024x768@60.0hz
GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300) GLX Version: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.4 Direct Rendering: Yes
Under Mint 14, I can only switch to console by CTRL-ALT-F2: the output of inxi -Gx is:
Graphics: Card: S3 VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] bus-ID: 01:00.0

Advanced Data: N/A out of X
no rendering, because I'm not in X? Only difference I see is a newer X-Org version.

Re: Mint 14 iso disc problems see photo
I tested the live dvd of linux mint 14 mate today and did get the same efects.
Graphics is also not working with mate. I thought XFCE and mate are better for older computers like my notebook but seems like the whole series of mint 14 is not running on my notebook.
