installer short password
installer short password During install you can use a short password like 4 characters, but once rebooted and you try to log in it says you can't use short passwords. I knew how to change the password using the boot disc, but that's a minor bug that should be patched or at least add the verbiage to ...

Pity. They all seem to be labelled wrong as well with some asinine statement like "say thank you to IPTV-org! message

Re: nvidia driver update broke a wine game alpha centauri
I'm using nvidia 390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 just fine. An update for that driver borked one wine game. What is odd is the update is the same version number as what is installed.

Wine version repos
Wine is now up to version 5.3 but our repos for stable are still on version 1.6
When can we expect stable to get bumped up to oh say ver 2 or maybe 3? Or is this another case of repo decrepitude like when Kdenlive was on version 15 and the repos were on version ZERO?

Re: Software Manager Suggestion
Suggestion for Software Manager : A What is NEW section.
There is an editors pick section and a categories section but a "what's new in the last 6 months" might be nice. and maybe a top 10/20 most used programs list inside the categories section.

Re: Why are my applications not the latest possible version?
kdenlive went from v0 to v16 over 15 years and is one of the top three programs of it's category. Making the jump from v0 to v16 after it's been in the repos for 13 years isn't a frozen software selection, it's a fossilized one. Again I'm not saying we need the latest versions at all times but maybe...

You need arch is horrible advice. Read MY post again. I don't need the LATEST software I'd just like to know there are people actively keeping things as up to date as they can be still maintaining stability. Seriously Kdenlive jumped from 0.9 to 16. That shouldn't happen!! no piece of software shoul...

Re: Why are my applications not the latest possible version?
So if an app is using an ANCIENT version like Kdenlive was still using version 0.9 yes that's a leading zero , it is the Mint team we should be poking with a stick not some other group like debian stable?? I noticed kdenlive jumped from version 0.9 to 16.12.2 with mint 18.1 FreeOrion is now 0.4.5 fr...

Re: Mint18 XFCE Post install issues
It appears my external drives are no longer auto mounting. As this is where my wallpapers are it means I have to manually mount and then reset the directory location.
