I noticed an issue with the recent documents plugin that is displayed on the MATE Menu after you enable it in the Menu preferences. The plugin should show 10 most recent documents opened through Caja, LibreOffice and other compatible apps. One would expect that the list of recent documents works as ...

dnswhite, Upgrading the Linux kernel to the latest version could be helpful in your case (upgrade from Linux Mint 17 to 17.1 does not automatically upgrade the kernel, as explained on How to upgrade from Linux Mint 17 to 17.1 ). You can do that with the following command: sudo apt-get install linux-...

Try to also add the xforcevesa parameter in /etc/default/grub : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset xforcevesa" (the line must be uncommented, that is without "#" characters at the beginning of the line). Then run sudo update-grub which updates the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file. And list v...

Did you also run in the terminal window?

I also had this issue with HP LaserJet 1200 on newly installed Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon x64. It was solved by installing HPLIP 3.14.6 as suggested by PatH57. But, I noticed that the new hplip is not recognized by the packaging system, which I would prefer. As Ubuntu 14.10 has hplip 3.14.6-1 (while LM ...

Can anyone point me to a list of applications/software included with this version? As Linux Mint 17 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, you can install software packages available for Trusty: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/ Also, Linux Mint 17 uses additional packages built for Cinnamon and/or MATE de...

According to some comments in GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 719692 it seems that this issue in Cheese may be related to Clutter graphics library. On Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon I have the following version of libclutter: $ dpkg -l | grep libclutter-1.0 | gawk '{print $1, $2, $3}' ii libclutter-1.0-0:amd64 1.14.6-...

Lukfi, I wrote a script (attached) that can turn on the Cinnamon screensaver and lock the screen without turning the screen off, which can be useful for the displays you mentioned. The script is written in Tcl language (my favorite for scripting) and so you have to install the tcl package (available...

I was able to access files on iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 from Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon adm64 by following advice at http://askubuntu.com/questions/414490/ubuntu-13-04-13-10-wont-trust-iphone/414491 The issue has been solved by libimobiledevice v. 1.1.6 (which supports iOS 7) but it is not yet available in ...

Regarding this issue I've upgraded Cheese to ver. 3.10.2, which is available in ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 , but to no avail. When I run Linux Mint 16 MATE amd64 live DVD on the same hardware cheese 3.8.3 doesn't have this issue. It's such a pity that this funny tool doesn't work well on Cinnamon any mo...

So, you want to use Remmina on Linux Mint to connect to MS Windows 7/8 on your home network using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). To be able to configure such a connection you have to have basic understanding of Internet Protocol . In that connection the configuration of Remmina on Linux Mint is ...

Nathan, when LibreOffice Writer creates a new document it uses a template file which defines the default styles in the new document. By default Writer uses the blank template that is installed with LibreOffice. You can also create your own templates and set one of them as the default template for Wr...

PC-work - operating system and its version

From the subject of your question I guess one of the systems is Windows 7 and probably the other one is Linux Mint. But which PC runs which OS?

Zam, a question similar to this one was recently asked in Cinnamon 2: Change default language . The behaviour you noticed is a bug in mdmgreeter (a component of MDM display manager) which displays the login window. If you change the language option in mdmgreeter it restarts itself with the chosen lo...
