Your question is perhaps more appropriate to the software developers in a LibreOffice forum, and I am no LibreOffice expert, but I see what you mean. All of the tabs do not become bold when you select more than one. I did notice that the visual indicator that the LibreOffice team chose to use is tha...

• In the System Preferences, select Startup Disk
• Select the icon for Macintosh HD
• Click the Restart button

The selected disk is set as the default boot device.

The "S" in "LTS" stands for "Support" and that is what runs out at the end of the LTS official support period. What that really means is that you won't receive the regular security updates and the upgrades to both the operating system and its applications. Will the syst...

OK, Palaver still has a way to go... and I have a bit to learn about setting up my own dictionary of commands... but it works GREAT. I had to install some of the "components" a couple of times to get them to actually install. Not sure why. Anyway, this has a lot of promise and is under act...

This is an old thread, but there has been some development in the field of voice recognition in the past four years. I'm going to try installing Palaver on Mint 14 using the instructions from this article and this youtube video. I'll be back to report my results. http://www.muktware.com/5412/how-get...

Searching for an alternative brought me to a book on Mandrake. This lead me to download and install openSuSE. That old c...

Simply open the Software Manager, search for "cinnamon" and install the package by that name. Mint will install all the other dependencies -- other packages that are needed for the cinnamon desktop to work. After installation, reboot the computer or just log out. Before you enter your user...

azertywarrior12's solution worked for me, too, using the Cinnamon desktop, but I could only zoom into the left half of my wide-screen laptop monitor. It was this way on Mint 12 and now with Mint 13.
