Hi! My virtual box works fine and I'm happy. :) The virtual computer is namned XPcomputer. I assume the catalog /home/VirtualBox/XPcomputer/ XPcomputer.vdi that the .vdi file is a virtual copy of the Windows C:/ drive. I would like to be able to read that file and copy file into it, and delete or co...

Hi! The mate 1.20.1 desktop hangs some times and the icons dissapear. See picture bellow. So if no menu>quit then I can not shut down the program. Closing from the programbar doesn' t work either. Must restart the computer. How to fix this? Lates hang was coused by opening a file in the libreoffice,...

Well Folks......have not read all pages, but I think there are more reasons. For me I never liked the M-soft. Started with VIC 20 computers and later the PC and the 5" black floppy discs. Learned the Novell network, used the Mozilla Netscpe and then the first Windows came. A grafic layout on top of ...

Thank You all.
You know what, I wait for the update.
In meentime I have installed the xfe file browser, happy with that. I also have functions I like, double windows and more.

Hi... Similar problem. I do have only 2 G RAM memory, Tested to change the swapiness to 20, it got worse! Changed back to 40 and now it works better. Mostly when programs are switching it takes time. My swap is a file, it goes faster than to have a swap partition earlier. Same problem with the Mint ...

Thank you gm10. I edited the file as sudo xed --- saved and restarted the computer. Listing the file says: application/x-ms-dos-executable=wine.desktop x-content/audio-cdda=xplayer.desktop # inode/directory=caja-folder-handler.desktop inode/directory=nemo.desktop x-scheme-handler/mailto=thunderbird....

Thank You gm10.
But.....tha's what not happens. I got only the Caja and a file browser called DoubleCommander. Then Nemo never comes up. That's why I'm asking.
Other suggestions?
Edit some file somewhere in terminal?

How to make Nemo default?
Want to change from Caja.
The menues don't give any choises.
Nemo is installed via the software Manger.
Thanks.

Well, no answer yet....
But there is something with the mate itself.
The Icon came back, dissapeared, and came back and an other icon dissapeared and came back.
I think I need to upgrade the Mate desktop istsefl.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks. Caja is the default file browser. I installed the Nemo via the Software menager. Like Nemo better how ever they are very similar. Found the file /home/myname/.config/mineapps.list. There is two txt file for the caja and an emty file for the nemo. Like Hoser Rob said, it seems to bee more com...

Hi.
Where does the Mate save the list/file/info about the prefered applications.
Changeing from menu I have only 2 alternatives and can not enter the name of an other program.
I want to find the list/file itself and edit it.
But where is it?
Nothing at /home/user/.local/share
Thank you.

Thanks Folks! Its working! I downloaded the VirtualBox from Ooracle. For me it was important to get the 5.2.22 version, not the 6.xxx since the later doesn't support 32 bits machin anymore. After config the Box I had to install the Windows just like if it was a real computer, takes lot of time. Afte...

Thank You both! I have read both places. Will download and install the Virtual machin and after that... x your fingers. I must instal the XP SP3 version but I have a "legal" ISO CD. The reason for that is, I will use this Vm for only one program, an externer special soundcard-sound system, and a sco...

Thank You!!!

Issue solved, see other thread. (dont remeber the link just now)

Very interesting readings. I'm old school person. I don't save any passwords on the computer except the one for the sudo, that is a must. I take some inconvenience and type the passwords when needed and never let them save them. I shut of the coockies and java and not allow tracing in browsers. Not ...
