Thanks everybody for the feedback on Ubuntu Tweak. I will leave it off. Is there a good alternative for clearing out the junk? Isn't Mint 18 great!

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me. Every time I try to install Ubuntu Tweak on Mint 18 Cinnamon, I get the following error message: "Error: Dependency is not sustainable gir 1.2- vte-2.90.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks everybody. i am impressed with "Julia". It definitely seems faster on my good old Dell laptop, against the previously installed "Maverick". The main bonus for me however is that I am now able to download programmes on BBC iPlayer, which I could never manage before. Great j...

Hi DrHu, Thanks for taking the time to reply to my query on music notation software on LINUX. Since my original message I'm afraid I have "waved the white flag" and stuck with "Mozart" via a dual Linux/Windows XP set up. I have tried various Linux solutions but they all seem a li...

Hi Husse, Thanks. The eBook reader situation is improving all the time. I've found a "new kid on the block" by the name of "Plastic Logic" which is said to rival Amazon's Kindle. I will probably go down that road or something similar as my faithful old PPC is getting a little lon...

Hi Husse,

I quiet agree. Neither would I. As far as I'm concerned the jury is out regarding this software.

Hi, As an avid eBook reader the only reason I keep Microsoft XP on one of my laptops is to enable me to synch my PPC and download and install ebooks. I have just discovered "Calibre" and it seems almost to good to be true. Their site gives you full downloading instructions, fully supports ...

Hi Clem, Many thanks to you and your merry band of helpers for finalizing "Felicia". I have now got it installed on both on my desktop and laptop computers. It looks and it works beautifully. I don't know how you make the time to work on Mint. All I can think is you must have a very unders...

Nice to hear from some other "Silver Mints". I thought I might have been the only one around! Doesn't all this "Hi Guys" talk get you down, in my younger days we called each other "Chaps"!

Hi sputty01. Thanks so much. I went to the Vitalbodies site and printed out the instructions. Found the True Type folder via the terminal and I now have Lucida Handwriting installed.
Thanks also to Rokurosv for initially pointing me in the right direction.
Regards to you both,
Peter4933.

Hi Rokurosv - it's me again! Great, I have purchased the Lucida Handwriting fonts,(£19.98, ouch!) and have got the file in the Home Folder. Can you or any other kind soul tell me where the TrueType folder is located (I have got mstt fonts installed) and how I install the font file into it. Thanks. P...

Hi Rokurosv, thanks for your help. I'll give this a try.

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how I can download/install the "Lucida Handwriting" font set.
Anybody's help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I expect most Mature Mints know this but in case any of our newbie friends don't, Gnome have a great site for downloading Wallpaper/Desktop Backgrounds.
Go to http://art.gnome.org. I now have a beautiful picture of Tuscany, Italy as my desktop background. Very calming!

Hi Mint Designers! I have just spotted your discussions on Graphic Design, and I hope you will you will allow me a few lines to wonder down memory lane. I am a retired freelance graphic designer, and go back to the days of the Atari Mega ST - I won't tell you how old I am, but am I the only "Si...
