I've downloaded twice now, without a problem. I don't know what's wrong.

Installing Nvidia via DDM now.
First thing I notice that needs attention is font rendering. Poor as is. Needs these tweaks.
system settings > application appearance > Fonts > Use anti-aliasing:(ENABLED) (Configure) >
Use sub-pixel rendering: RGB
Hinting style: Slight
Big Improvement with these settings...

Thanks. I was trying to figure out what the proper settings would be for this.GeneC wrote:Installing Nvidia via DDM now.

The partition manager defaults to 2GB (1.5x ram) swap on a 12GB drive. (vbox)
The welcome splash shows a text field with "lblTitle" while it's loading.

If so, I could make it default.

Thank you Schoelje, may your new year be merry and bright!
Looking forward to LMDE KDE UP6 and LMDE Xfce if you do one.

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP5 [UPDATE: 16/10/2012]
I've seen that on my laptop as well while the content was loading once or twice. I honestly didn't think anything about it, especially since it's still an alpha build and I figured Schoelje might have known it was there. Of course I just tried to see if it still occurs and it didn't, but should I see if I can reproduce it on the initial load in and snag a pic of it?zerozero wrote:Hi

No, that won't be necessary.
I'm in the midst of testing a new iso and this is one of the fixes I have to check.

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP5 [UPDATE: 16/10/2012]
Silly question, but to be sure, I'm running UP5 and there are 721 updates in the update manager; should I keep them on hold and wait for Schoelje to finish work on UP6 etc before updating?

Just a quick note to let you all know that the new Full Circle magazine (issue #68) is out and has my review of LMDE KDE in it. You can grab it from: http://fullcirclemagazine.org.
Feel free to submit articles, we're always looking for new stuff.

You can download the iso's or an update script if you already are running LMDE KDE UP5.
You can post any issues there.
