Re: Mate 18- Open application icons in panel flickering uncontrollably

Interestingly, upgraded to 18.2 [64] and the flickering is happening at the bottom of the screen.

GPU = GTX1070
ASROCK MB with the bells and whistles.

Thanks!

Re: "Filter Failed" due to permission problems?

Did you solve this one? I had the same drama and found the solution in another thread and special thanks to "median" and "jcockx" who together got to a working solution. Install the 32bit libraries. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ia32-libs Worked for me with the CP105b ...

Re: Linux Printing isn't working

One of my annoying experiences is that with Mint 12 all worked flawlessly. Then in Mint 15; it had some bugs but the printing still worked! Now in Mint 16 the printing does not work! Printer is a Lexmark C543dn, PPD files installed and Mint 16 x64. I am not outright expert with Linux but after a dec...

Re: Help! Software Manager and Update Manager not working

Hello All!! I have had a similar drama and have followed this thread plus another pertaining to the issue. I have followed 90% of the commands, bar the bits about broken packages as my system does not report that I have any. Therefore I have proceeded on the assumption that I would not need to repai...

Re: Why are my applications not the latest possible version?

Hello All!! Forgive me as I am in a rather dark mood. Why? My Mint install breaks if I try to install the latest version of an application - say Evolution. Now why would I want to do that? Simply because E. 3.6.4 has that many bugs it is close to useless. I read the bug-fix for the more recent versi...

Re: Broken / Held Back Packages (Mint 15)

@dhimes Glad someone read my thread. I got no satisfaction from any threads, searching, or bug reporting and as you can see, no support or assistance here. I gave up and formatted the drive and went back to Evolution 3.6.4 which frankly, is a dog and was the reason for the package problem (I did fin...

Re: Broken / Held Back Packages (Mint 15)

Hello Once more, Needed to progress and as my install was relatively new, ploughed ahead......located the package I think was a drama and uninstalled it. That solved the broken packages problem outright! How do I know? It killed the install. Black screen. So did a fresh rebuild on two partitions and...

Re: Broken / Held Back Packages (Mint 15)

MORE Information::::: By trawling through Synaptic, I discovered that evolution-data-server-common is installed and the version is 3.9.4-fta1 - the repo that I had and have removed. Now the interesting part is that if I attempt to uninstall it either through the GUI of Synaptic or command line, it c...

Hello All! Flying Mint 15 and had some issues with Evolution crashing and forgetting where to find the Calendar. Tried to upgrade (from 3.6.4 - 3.8.0) and I cleverly broke some packages. So.........onto the Forums and reading and trying out each of the solutions: * sudo apt-get update && sud...
