Linux Mint Forums

Nice to see that you have changed your posting with that EDIT. I was not the only one by the way, more people are complaining. And keep on ranting about hardware is not needed. I have a PC that is filled with stuff that is not a year old and thus has fairly new hardware. It worked awesome with Windo...

Dear Colyn, First: I use the drivers provided by Ubuntu/Mint for my Nvidia. Second: this card was also used in Mint 10, also with the provided driver from Mint. In mint10 everything looked awesome in GE. In 11 it's a tiny, ugly, font that I, and others, see. And that has nothing to do with changing ...

Am I the only one with this question? I find it strange that no one tries to answer or something... The fonts are not up to the Mint standard at all.

The fonts of Google Earth 6 are again as ugly as years ago in version 4 or 5.... In Mint10 with 5.5 everything was okay. What can we do to solve this and get the normal fonts of Mint also in GE?

I don't have that, so I do not think that it is Mint.

I already said in my posting that it had nothing to do with the videocard. And Compiz is busy with it so they stated.

That is because the Mint Update doesn work in the Debian version. I do not know the exact line for it but it can be done in Terminal. Google might be a source.

So I guess you are looking at that grey messy thing too? Not all is a better thing.

I have already updated, like I do each day.... And all i see now is a small like I said strip comic kind of blur..mostly gray or white. Is that the new updated Pidgin icon?

I have no idea why the Mint team decided to make the Pidgin icon the way it is now in Mint 11. It shows nothing, it's like a comic blur without text now. Can we please have a better one in which we see what the program is doing?! teh old one was perfect by the way. The icon from Felicia, so to say.

Nope, nothing wrong with the card. On other sites is already the news that the Compiz guys are looking for solutions to all the problems that a lot of people have. I have tested some things and can say that it goes wrong in Mint as soon as the Compiz-plugins-extra are used from Synaptic. In all othe...

Well, that was easy...but with NO option at all on I still have problems with broken windows, with no X for instance.

As asked for by Paul in the other thread: In Mint11 RC Compiz doesn't work as it should, it destroys the windows functions. My card with which it happens: Graphics: Card nVidia G92 [GeForce GT 230] X.Org 1.10.1 Res: 1920x1080@50.0hz GLX Renderer GeForce GT 230/PCI/SSE2 GLX Version 3.3.0 NVIDIA 270.4...

I now also have 11 on my PC and the problems with Compiz. It just needs to be shut down for the windows to work correct. That cannot be the correct thing, right?

I see this happening now too. On a fresh install and before that on a not-so-fresh-install. Quite a problem, to be honest.

In Synaptic you search for screensaver. I did that and I installed the screensavers that I could find here. Euphoria and a lot of others are now back in the system. Good luck

well, with Win7 burning ISO has become a standard thing to do. So you can say that Microsoft made it easier to burn Linux Mint

I guess this has all to do with the 100mb partition that Win7 makes. It stars from there. And that's not logical for grub as I imagine. Win7 is a logical partition with the boot in the 100mb partition (say that's now the C drive...).

Ok, it works now...really weird. I did the same and then i only got the text... Thanks!

It must be me, but I just see the text appear under my messages, no bar... So I took it away again. The didn't work.
