I cant get that controller working either. Its recognised as a joystick input, but the transmitter output does nothing to it.

It looks like the fix is in upstream, so just wait for it to trickle through the Mate and Mint dev teams.

I have the same problem. Whatever global resource it connects to is no longer working

now of course on this identical software laptop, it isn't accepting X despite editing the same files in the same way. netstat shows port 6000 is not listening

The problem: A machine can run e.g. kaffeine or VLC and access a DVB-T or DVB-S hardware, but you want to watch the TV program on another machine on the same network. The solution: to redirect X windows and sound to a remote client machine. Client configuration On the client machine you have to set...

Ive just installed Mint 18 on a laptop and this is the last straw I cannot believe how buggy the release is. This doesn't work. Also I changed window managers and now no matter what I do all the panel apps like the clock and so on keep crashing even though I put the original manager back secure boot...

if you want an UNofficial fix (tested in mate 17.3) download my files, backup these two and copy over. you will need to logout or reboot /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmateweather.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmateweather.so.1.6.9 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8lWxEDYYm0acjExT1ZaZ2JPOTQ/view ...

Thanks Monsta. Look forward to seeing it turn up. Effort appreciated

Owners of http://weather.noaa.gov shut down the service (a few hours ago it seems), so libmateweather has nowhere to get the weather data from. That means both Clock and Weather applets are unable to show anything. I'm currently testing http://aviationweather.gov as possible alternative. Seems to w...

Dead for me too.

When testing please check that weather sources outside the USA work too.

Frankly your best bet is to install a (legal?) copy of windows under Virtualbox, and install it in that.

Wine is good for fairly simple programs, but graphics stuff needs more.

I run a 3D cad and 2D drawing package like that under a very old XP license

yep. Its all still there in mint 17.3 now. 3.10.2 aisleriot


Nothing has been done to fix it. No one cares. Both latest graphics devices (Nvidia/Intel) show the behaviour - new since I last posted.

I just accept that its how the thing behaves, and keep playing anyway.

My problem is that on firefox 42, even after changing the config file the behaviour persists

I assume there is some override going on.

fixed in 34+ but not sure about later versions of 33..

I always use this way to do it (just have to change the version) http://dcageek.blogspot.fr/2014/06/install-linux-kernel-31417-on-ubuntu.html Thanks for that Pat, but I think I am going to pass. I am thinking this may well be another issue than the kernel. No doubt 3.14 will turn up as an upgrade i...

I am loathe to go 3.14 if its still unstable.. But I guess I can always select 3.13 at boot time. Mmmm. I see listed many flavours of 3.13 but none of 3.14 What is the 'approved' way to get a later 3.13 kernel, and 3.14, which aint in the repo ?? Ok update manager takes me up to 3.13.35, so I'll try...

I have had two networking issues with Mint 17 and the new kernel that didnt happen with mint 14. I cant seem to find them mentioned anywhere at all, except possibly in some vague upstream bug. One I have been able to work around, the other persists. BUG #1. I have a virtual private server hosted out...

This is now happening when I have a live connection. Unable to connect to the internet at all now. Tried to use sudo restart network-manager and did not work. Please help. If you are still there, did you sort it. If not invoke root terminal and type ifconfig -a and post results. When the GUI tools ...
