Welcome to all those who took the Linux Mint lifeboat out of Windows 7!

Though I bought this laptop with the intent of running Linux Mint on it, and I do, I kept Windows 7 in a dual boot. I am in Linux Mint 99% of the time.

Another new female member here although I've been doing some posting and lurking here already. I'm new to Linux Mint (being one of the dreaded Win 7 refugees) but I'm bound and determined to get comfortable with it since there is no way in..no way I'm going back to MS and Windows. I assume you're t...

I do NOT want a new design.

New features? Sure, I'll look forward to them.

New logo? I would assume that'll be done at some point...

But don't tear the place up!

Ok, just to clarify because now it sounds really confusing: The Update Manager from official Mint had a bug with the tray icon that was fixed. The Update Manager from my PPA never had this bug. Thanks for making this clear to those reading. Yes, I installed the PPA, Yes, it fixed the bug. Yes, the ...

I did install gm10's PPA.

I'm just noting that this was officially noted as a now-fixed bug.

To wrap this up, it was an official bug that was squashed by the Linux Mint team: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3802 Before we get started with the news, I’d also like to thank the people who helped us troubleshoot the Update Manager tray icon bug last month. It was an important bug, which we couldn...

If you're not seeing this then you're not running my version. ;) I am, but I can't find that screen at all. Oh, sorry. Either right click the icon > Preferences, or from the main window > Edit menu > Preferences. ETA: Oh, I was looking at every Preferences setting screen except the one that actuall...

But should it ever return even with my version there's even something else you can try, in Preferences check "Use AppIndicator for tray icon", that'll make it use a different way of displaying the icon.

Maybe it's because my eyes are blurry due to lack of sleep, but I can't find this...

In this case I'm not quite sure whether the bug is ultimately with Cinnamon (it does not happen on any other desktop environment): https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues or Update Manager (my version does not appear to exhibit the issue - pending your confirmation): https://github.com/linuxmi...

So far, so good, but I really have no idea what interval it'll be before any return. You mean until the icon bug returns, if it does? I cannot say, I'm not even using Cinnamon, so you'll know better than I. All I know is that in a live environment of the 19.2 .iso it happens instantly with the offi...

UNBELIEVABLE...!!!! :shock: The issue was...the DVI cable!!!My monitor have 2 dvi inputs and the cable was in the input 2. I unplugged it then I plugged it again to input 1 and using the Driver Manager I installed the latest (recommended) nvidia drivers. After the restart everything works fine!!!!!...

Any fix so far appears to be temporary and the issue reappears after the next reboot. If it helps, I can reproduce that issue in a 19.2 Cinnamon live enviroment (actually half the time the Update Manager icon didn't appear at all) but with my own version of Update Manager from my PPA (see my signat...

Inundated, does it stay fixed after a 1 time restart of Cinnamon? Nice to know of another quick fix though. Thanks. I haven't seen it pop back up after the restart, but it has popped back up again from time to time even after a reboot. Like, for example, now. There doesn't seem to be rhyme or reaso...

Here is a screenshot of it.

Right-clicking the panel > Troubleshoot > Restart Cinnamon fixes it.

On my computers, it affects only Update Manager, no matter where it is in the panel.

Right click with your mouse on the bottom panel. Select "Panel Settings". Select " Right zone panel icon size". Change it to ANY other different size and back, if you wish, and the weird HALF update manager appears to be FULL again. It showed up again, and this tweak fixed it. Now, we'll see if it ...

Silly me, I was comparing the fonts within Chrome, not the system fonts.

I do notice the improvement in the system font rendering.

The upgrade from Tessa was painless and seamless.

I will add to the love here. The move from Tessa to Tina has been great. The performance improvement alone is amazing...it feels like a computer upgrade on both my laptop and desktop! (And 19.1 wasn't exactly a slowpoke on these machines.) I guess I'm not noticing the font improvements, though I was...

I had the exact same thing just now after the 19.2 upgrade.

A quick reboot, and the icon is at full strength.
