Hi, I think that it would be a good idea to use gnome-session-fallback as the default desktop to get the old Gnome 2 feel of the desktop with Gnome 3 and GTK3 underneath. I good thing could be to communize the fallback desktop to look exactly like Gnome 2 and then I think Gnome 2 lovers could be hap...

Fixed it. Just renamed .bash_logout to .bash_logout_old and then the terminal remembers my history. In .bash_logout I can read that the reason why the history-feature has been disabled, is to increase the level of privacy. Linux Mint is a distribution which mission is to be easy to use, and it's not...

Isn't is possible just use the "history" command and arrow up and down keys like I do at other distributions?

Hi
I use Linux Mint 7 Main Edition x86 on my Eee S101 and I have a problem.
If I open a Terminal the history is empty. Is the a special Mint-feature and how do I fix that, so I can see my previous history and use !cat commands?

well, there's always X forwarding: just add a "-X" flag to your normal ssh command, then test it with e.g. xeyes. Basically it forwards any relevant graphical data. You should then be able to launch mintupdate with gksudo mintupdate. Yes, you can manually set various holds if you prefer, ...

Louis: there're many tools that will allow you to upgrade your system, but only mintUpdate provides the "levels" capability to decide what's safe and what's not, all the others will just install others, regardless of the fact that the update is known to cause problems in some circumstance...

Can't you just a CLI-tool that's makes it possible to upgrade at the Mint-way though a terminal? Thanks

I think, that Linux mint is a very easy distribution, and it's stable too. I haven't had a crash with Firefox 3 on Mint yet and on Ubuntu Hardy is was crashing often. But one thing I think is a showstopper is the upgrade-process from one Mint release to another. Therefore got this idea: What about b...

I've installed yesterday. I open a terminal and login as root for the first time (su) When I run 'history' I get this: root@louis-laptop:/home/louis# history 1 ls 2 cd / 3 ls 4 gdm 5 startx 6 exit 7 gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type string --set ...

When will Celena or just a beta be released?

UCView is a very good program to take pictures and video with a webcam.

You should install a package to got your locale language in OOo. Another thing: If you install Mint 3.0 i...

Hi I've tryed Mint 3.0, and I think that it's a really good distribution, but I've some feedback. Mint 3.0 was fast to connect to my wireless WPA network. It tooks so long time for Ubuntu 7.04 to do that. But how can Mint 3.0 do it so fast? I've think that I will be great If you uploaded F-spot on t...

Mint 3.0 Light includes non-free software. It includes non-free wireless card firmware and more as Ubuntu also include. Ubuntu altso includes some non-free software as non-free wireless card firmware and more. If you want a 100% free Ubuntu-based Linux-dist you should you Gnewsense. It 's 100% free ...

I think it will be nice if you include gDesklets as default in Mint 3.0 with the same desklets that included in OS X and Vista.

What's wrong with Rhythmbox? If you don't wan't to include Rhythmbox, I think that Banshee is the best alternative to Rhythmbox.

I think Linux Mint is a good distro, but: I don't like that you have removed Gimp, Games, Rhythmbox and OpenOffice.org 2.4 with the locale language packs. I also Don't like that you have added the KDE app Amarok. It fill with KDE libs. And if you inkclude Rhythmbox insted you've space to more Gnome ...
