my latest version using VinDSL's conky template & Paramvir's conkywx weather template tommy This looks quite good, are you willing to share your config? :) BTJ of course I'm willing to share...but, it uses a set of MANY templates that would take too much room here to list them.. :( you are advised ...

I use the following for my AMD K8 dual core: Temperatures ${alignr}${color3}${execi 2 sensors k8temp-pci-00c3 -A -f} if you type sensors into a terminal you should see something like this: tommy3@tommy3-Inspiron-531s:~$ sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +28.0°C (crit = +95.0°C)...

Hello, It is Saturday, arounnd noon, and I am at work, but wanted to clear up the last line of my last post. The web address I am talking about had this in the address screen: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2616. It regards Linux Mint 17 Qiana MATE Edition, and a few paragraphs down is a lines that s...

BoDill..... maybe you skimmed over my reply above where I gave you the web page to help you set up a seperate HOME partition.....so here it is again....go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving and like I said above, do not worry that it will take you to a Ubuntu page as Mi...

BoDill... welcome to the World of Linux & don't worry too much....we all were newbies once...even Linus Torvolds... :shock: here is a good site to help you create a seperate HOME partition & move all your existing stuff there at the same time.....don't worry that it is an Ubuntu site as Mint is base...

thanx for reply Mute Ant....

of course I was looking in the Control Center Keyboard section, but couldn't find it there...

in Mint 17 it was in Menu-All Applications-Keyboard Shortcuts...

it is disabled by default...

after upgrading from Mint 16 to Mint 17 I find that pressing CTRL + ALT + T no longer brings up the Terminal...

also there seems to be no option in the Keyboard app to enable this...

or am I missing something basic ???

I agree with using Boot Repair......it does what it says...it repairs your boot sector....has saved me
numerous times.....

installed Mint 17 over Mint 16 this morning after running in live mode overnite....

totally painless install & all hardware worked "out of the box"...

loving it so far....

yesterday I tried Mint 17 Cinnamon...loaded fine, but mouse & keyboard were totally inoperable even in live mode... wifi was detected, but without a keyboard/mouse could go no further..... :( today I tried Mint 17 Mate...works perfectly so far & even wifi came up with no tweaks needed in live mode.....

waiting anxiously for Qiana to come out....

of my 4 *nix distros, Mint is my favorite one...sleek, fast, & light on resources....

I've been having the same problems with the wireless driver. I won't go into detail. I'll just cut to the chase and let you kno...
