If you cannot sign in to skype anymore and you get the error message in the title, you have to uninstall skype v. 4.2 and replace it with v.4.3. The reason: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Having-trouble-signing-in-Retirement-of-older-versions-of-Skype/td-p/3439685 I followed the instruction you...

I have a similar issue on my Toshiba T130. My solution is posted here:

This might work for you as well.

After few years the problem is finally solved.
I installed Mint 13 KDE some days ago and everything works now.
I am very happy

Thanks to the precious tips from @GeneC and @sunewbie I managed to resize my partitions and now I am triple-booting Win7, Mint 10, and Mint 13KDE!

Great community here

Clonezilla tutorial. http://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/01_Save_disk_image Great tutorial. I think this 2nd one (image restoring) is also rather useful :wink: http://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image For s...

Thank you very much @GeneC

I will give Clonezilla a try.

May I ask you one more question?
Do you re-install the boot loader every time or do you keep the one you already have?
I was thinking to keep the one I currently have in Mint 10 and use that one.

Dear gurus, I currently have Win7 and Mint 10 installed on my machine. I would like now to add a 3rd Mint version (maybe 13 KDE) to run some tests and replace my beloved Mint 10 :cry: My hard drive has 3 primary partions (system + Win7 + Data) + 1 logical partition with Mint (root + /home, +swap). I...

i'm going to link this topic in that one to give it more visibility.

So I guess we should wait before updating mintupdate.
Is this correct?

I installed Mint Debian with XFCE on an EEEPC and then put Openbox/LXDE on top.
I have now something which resembles closely Mint 12 LXDE, but I have to admit I am not fully satisfied with the machine performance.

For some reason, 'pure' Mint LXDE performed by far better. Really missing Mint LXDE

This is my Cinnamon 1.1.2 desktop on LM12. This is Cinnamon (not gnome shell) theme 'Eleganse' (originally Elegance by satya164) that I rewrote a little to my taste. For now, theme works well, but Clem and the rest of the team are planning some changes to the compatibility with the GS themes and in...

Prevent Bluetooth from running at startup sudo gedit /etc/rc.local Just above the line "exit 0", add this line: rfkill block bluetooth Save, quit, takes effect next startup.

I would like to prevent the bluetooth service to start at startup. In previous Mint releases, it was as simple as opening the startup manager and deactivating it. In Mint 12 RC, the bluetooth entry in the startup manager is gone. How can I deactivate it? And the 2nd question which will come next: ho...

@tdockery97: which font you're using in MATE? The default one looks pretty crappy - see screenshot of my desktop below

OK. Thank you both for the information

I installed the CD edition of Lisa RC and then had to install 'mint_meta_mate' from synaptic. Only after doing this MATE showed up.

Hope this helps

+1
Too many things look incomplete when running Lisa RC
I hope time will bring plenty of changes

podagee wrote:try mate its almost exactly like lxde.to me anyway it is

my 2 cents:
Mint LXDE is a billion times better than the currently available MATE.
Mint LXDE is fantastic desktop polished everywhere.
MATE is a collection of rough edges and it is more resource hungry.

i've installed LMDB 12 RC1 (my apologies for incorrect terminology... i reckon you'll understand though) i go to the gnome3 search desktop. near the top are options 'Windows' and 'Applications' click 'Applications', then, in the list on the right, click 'System Tools'. i get a screen that shows 7 i...

According to the post below, it seems that Lisa RC consumes way too much power:

Has anybody else experienced anything similar either with Lisa RC or pure Gnome 3?

After reading Linux Mint 12 Preview , I was expecting that if I boot into MATE (from the initial login menu) I would get only the old GNOME2-ish look and feel and nothing else. However, I do not see the difference between MATE and GNOME3; I am running only from the liveDVD for now. Am I missing som...
