just a quick addition. This happens in version 17.3 also. I have found with mints own pre-installed themes everything is fine but modify them or use your own and this happens. Ie: customize a theme or use your own. Then open caja and change from icon view to something else and all is ok. change back...

Any one know how to fix this regression that has occurred in the new Rafaella Mint 17.2? All other previous bugs i had have been fixed bar this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1346713 See snapshot/error by Peregrina (peregrinitalia) wrote on 2014-07-22 & The error.

will try all responses and get back. Thanks.

Hi, I'm not sure where to ask for help so have put it into newbie. I have recently tried backing up a usb bootable 1gb thumbdrive of acronis tue image to an iso without too much of a problem using the linux dd Command, However when i restored it to test it. It wrote to the wrong drive. It wrote to M...

Seems i wasn't imagining it;

looks like they fixed a security hole. Then have to keep fixing the things they break in the process.

sound familiar.. windoze.

Back to version 12.04 - mint13.

Mint 17 Problems: (dualbooting win7 & mint17 on msdospartitons) 1.The compression program unzips hidden garbled directories of what i am unzippin. Ie : Uncompressing my pictures directory "pics.tar.gz" overwriting old in home dir. Gets to the end and states has failed. It doen't it jus...

Ok.. so everybody is urging to update to version 17. It's just its got way too many problems and bugs with it. Things that worked with version 16 just do NOT in version 17. Too many to list. I would like to stick with mint16 as it just works. If i could go back in time i would use isadora with lates...

just thought i would update my findings. It seems linux mint, all versions of release 14.04 or whatever the latest is. work fine after install apart from synaptic. Which is still unusable to downgrade packages or even update. Apparently by design. Ubuntu mate and other versions of desktops are fine ...

This is also messed up in mate distro too. tried both. I cannot use previous versions of applixcations in synaptic anymore as it will NOT allow downgrade. Totally stupid idea. They really have messed this up. If it works why change it. We seem to be heading down the windoze path. Freedome of choice ...

I had the same thing happen a few times then realised that the login setup has either been changed ,designed differently or a bug introduced. Not really quite sure. Anyhow, When you next install DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THE TOP FIELD. Leave it blank. The second fileld is the network name and the last ...

There is no way of telling in linux mint 17 as the installer discloses nothing. I definately think something in the background is going wrong. Tried it on a laptop and same thing happens. What with all the other bugs i keep finding. I think i am gonna stick with linux mint 16 and hold off till they ...

Instead of using ALL the partition options inbuilt in the installer that comes with Mint 17. I am using the gparted from mint 16 for the most part. Firstly i setup an NTFS partition for windoze then one EXT4 for linux and a Swap file. I did this with gparted on mint 17 initially. I setup windoze on ...

Ok.. so i have figured out the printer problem. Thing is i have now found two more bugs to do with synaptic. Firstly that synaptic will not upgrade or install items unless i double click on each item. Neither is there a right click update or install. What the hell has happened? I am so confused. so ...

Sorry. Didn't clarify. This is once fully installed and updated.

I will try and explain as best i can. I am testing the latest release cd2 of linux mint 17 and have stumbled on a couple of things i cannnot fix. firstly, When i execute printer settings and execute server menu, settings menu for the first time setup goes without a hitch. I can change remote admin a...

hi, Firstly let me say i am no expert but by reading your posts and playing around a bit i managed to get my help menu back.. this is what i did and i hope it helps you too. Firstly as root i removed all languages in /usr/share/gnome/help/user guide. except uk or english, then in synaptic Upgraded t...

i meant to say that elisa answer solved it for me.
