If you're looking to install WF and don't want to have to handle the tarball that's posted on the WF Website, go here instead: https://github.com/hawkeye116477/waterfox-deb-rpm-arch-AppImage#adding-repositorydirect-download Chose "other environment than KDE" (for Cinnamon and Mate) and tak...

For everybody looking to install Brave: don't use the instructions that were posted for LMDE3 in this forum. Instead, use this link, the info you're looking for is right at the top (Release Channel Installation, Debian 9+):

@Schultz: file doesn't seem to exist

@all41: yesssss! I freaking love you ! Thanks++++++++++++++++++++++++

@antikythera: same for me in Cinnamon (before I installed Mate)

@all41: I already had Pluma installed. Now I uninstalled xed, which made Pluma the only text editor. No difference. Context item unfortunately still not there.

Even the instructions "Edit or Open Ubuntu Files and Folders as root Administrative" in this link https://www.how2shout.com/linux/open-ub ... root-user/ don't work in that the menu option "edit as administrator" is not created ?

Don't do what ?
Is there or is there not supposed to be an option to open files as root/admin in LMDE4, as there was in the past ?

Just installed LMDE4 + Mate. The file system appears to lack the option to "open as root" or "open as admin" in the right-click menu. It was there in LMDE1+2 (Mate) and 3 (Cinnamon). It's not just not active, but the option is missing alltogether. Folder Properties show the owner...

Thank you, yes it did, it just needed some fiddling. I think this had to do with my login-settings, but my .dmrc file was not executable and I was unable to change it. So I had to - very unelegantly - create it manually, make it executable, then purge Cinnamon, and then restart. Which did the trick....

Clean install of LMDE4. Unable to boot into Mate. I found another post that explains that in order to boot into Mate as the default desktop environment, one has to do the following: 1) To install Mate: sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment -y 2) To purge Cinnamon: sudo apt autoremove --purge cin...

Something must have been wrong with my first install of cinnamon (though I have no idea why), but drag & drop worked on other installations. Lack of a general drawer still a problem, but at least the sidebar is workable.

Thanks for replying, I'd need the above commands, for starters.

LMDE2 MATE desktop launchers had a right-click option "open as administrator" that appears to not exist in LMDE3 Cinnamon ? Would anybody know how to run a launcher as admin ? I can't just add a "sudo" as I don't get prompted for a password. Ex.: drop cache commands sync; echo 1 ...

Thank you. I came back to post the same. I wish I had found your message earlier. It would have saved me quite a bit of time. Installation was no problem. Did you manage to add the key though ? When I run wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/Debian_9.0/Rele...

Thank you. I'll give it a shot in LMDE3.

In LMDE2 I used these instructions: https://bintray.com/package/readme/hawkeye116477/waterfox-deb/waterfox The installation worked o.k. but not the updates, which is also the question I have: I never received any update notifications through the update manager - which I thought was supposed to be ac...

Thanks so much, you have the patience of a saint. - Make your vertical panel - o.k. - add a panel launcher applet to it - o.k. - drag your launchers to the new panel launcher applet - no dragging possible. - You may need to right click on the panel launcher applets to enable dragging in their settin...
