Linux Mint Forums

I have a machine which is just used to stream a radioref feed. it uses xubuntu. ive installed vnc4server. and it does work.. to a point. I can get into the xfce desktop but no panel. if i open "home" ill see the file browser until i click something then it dies. what the hell am i missing ...

give yourself to the geek side

wish I had the money to build a system like that.

cept id go bigger. totally have to have dual CPU's

ndiswrapper howto. http://www.w2ibc.com/articles.php?article_id=1

works for pretty much all the distros.

ah but cinnamon don't work on all hardware configurations if your graphics ar not up to it it defaults to mate But then couldn't the person just use XFCE if their hardware is old? I been using xfce and my hardware isnt old... I just rather have a real desktop instead of a crappy tablet interface an...

not knocking mate or cinnamon but I have grown to love xfce

it would be nice to have a LM13 Mate cd iso (with just mate and only mate on it) Agree with that. MATE was so well hidden in LM12, it wasn't even available in live mode... I remember some people here at the forums were quite surprised to find out it's already installed :) I'm not sure MATE is stabl...

been playing with LM12 Mate.. really like mate.

it would be nice to have a LM13 Mate cd iso (with just mate and only mate on it) for a release instead of having to install with the G3 crap.. then go in install mate via repos then try and remove all the G3 crap.

1. I think the reason why no 64 is its just never been made since LXDE is/was used primarily for "older systems" 64 was never needed. How ever if this is correct all that would be needed is remaking the lxde deb packages for 64 to have lxde 64. 2. someone else will have to answer that but ...

I dont think it would be to hard to make LXDE for 64 bit..

Yes, about 140MB for level 1, 2 and 3 updates and more for level 1, 2, 3 , 4 and 5!

took a bit.

I grabbed it and installed. very nice only prob i seen so far was the terminal mint-fortune not working.

decided to wipe my drive and only have lxde 12 on here..

its very good for only being a rc.

now for the 202 updates

rereading my post... man did it sound like a geico commercial.

My intention was not to criticize but to use Debian LXDE as an example of that not always the DE is what decides the fate of a distribution. If you like it the way it comes, that's good, but something you can often find in any Debian review (and I mean serious review) is that out-of-the-box Debian ...

im windoze free... matter of fact if someone brings a windoze machine to this house, they get charged a $100 fine. Lol :P I know what you mean. I meant those of us who have to use it in the workplace, or 'serious' gamers. you can fix the work place... just tell the money men/women that they can sav...

. but some (if not all) of its own desktop "metapackages" are almost a disaster! (just give Debian LXDE a try). I have found debian lxde to be quite nice imo. only thing I added to it was network manager gnome. I did remove iceweasel and add the mint repo and installed FF9 also added mint...

Now I use a simpler desktop (lxde), which is closer to the older Linuxes with some *.txt file editing being the main method of dealing with system configurations.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXDE I have grown to love LXDE! anyway. why I think mint is so popular is this, Mint listens to the commun...

i ran 64 for awhile then went back to 32.

only thing i noticed is 64 uses a bit more memory

tablets never intrested me. nether has the iphones ect.

close as i would get to one is the laptop. for everything else i have my desktop.

and if it gets to the point laptops and desktops are the thing of the past. ill walk away from the tech world.
