Linux Mint Forums

have you created a bootable linux mint with unetbootin lately? yes i have, and YES i have used it WITHOUT issue. I used unetbootin just yesterday and it worked. Start Up Disk creator that is supplied with the Ubuntu derivatives does not work any more. It refuses to select the .iso you want to use.

If you can't see your wireless router and you don't have an Ethernet port, you cannot update the kernel drivers. Why does my wireless card work with Ubuntu derivatives, but not Mint, when Mint is based on Ubuntu? At least it used to be based on Ubuntu, maybe things have changed. Not that it matters ...

I never save passwords on my computer it's too insecure. I would like to use the password I want, I don't want someone else to tell me what password to use. I had to use the password that was emailed to me a few hours ago to log in this time, Since it was sent through Google Mail it's extremely inse...

i'm 76 years old and the forum Password requirements are too stringent. I tried to enter a qualified password, but it is rejected. I guess I will have to have a password emailed to me every time I want to login. I honestly cannot deal with a bunch of different overly complicated passwords. It leads ...

I've been a Mint Mate user for years, but I'm unable to install the recent releases of Mint/Mate on the following compter as the wireless card is not supported by Mint/Mate. I was forced to use Kubuntu as a result. Ubuntu/Mate will also install as well as Manjaro KDE. The most recent Mint I tried wa...

I'll try that later today.

I don't think it's charactermap. Character Pallette is an applet that runs on the Mate panel. It has various non standard characters that are chosen from a drop down menu.

Does anyone know where the file for the Character Pallette program is located. I had a custom Pallette in my previous installation, I updated to 17 and would like to put my old configuration into the new installation. I did back up my /user/home to a USB drive so if I know where to look I could repl...

I would like to know how to add the "glipper" to the Maté desktop.

I prefer to work from a single desktop, so the switcher is useless to me.

Maybe Ubuntu will become the child, and Mint will be the parent. It is disheartening that Mark Shuttleworth started to violate his own code of conduct.

I fully agree with your thoughts on Cinnamon and its behavior. Particularly the point on the selection after search. I get messed up on that all the time.

I'm still wanting to know how to remove the day of the week from the clock. That and making the icons on the panel just a tad larger.

http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=86813&p=520357&hilit=silly+setting+transparency#p520357 A little bit bigger font on the panel and tool tips: #panel { color: #ffffff; background-color: #555555; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; height: [color=26px; StTooltip StLabel { border: 1p...

I agree, an opaque menu is essential.

How would you remove the Day and Date from the Cinnamon Panel, leaving only the Time. You can hide the date in dconf editor under "org/cinnamon/clock", but you can't hide the day. I'll have a look in the panel.js. OK thanks, I now have no date displayed, but I decided to add seconds because it is a...

I have added a Cinnamon section to this thread , currently contains these entries: 5. Cinnamon a. What it is and how to install it b. Configuring Cinnamon c. How to install and change Cinnamon themes d. Hide the workspace switcher e. Remove the battery tray icon percentage indicator thing happening...

Regarding the "Themes" button. It seems as though it could do something more all encompassing such as "System Configuration" or simply "Configuration".

Where do you set the panel to auto hide?
