I had the same, it is an IcedTea bug, but there is a workaround which worked for me: .. Run the applet again, deselect the "Always trust" checkbox, and click the "Sandbox" button. The applet should then run normally. Erm, what "Sandbox" button? I don't see one (and so it's not running the Webmin Fi...

Just to be annoying, it is working fine today, popping over exactly the same windows it was going under yesterday.

I've done nothing, including not shutting down / rebooting between the two.

Yes, I'm 32 bit.

It hasn't always done this, but at the moment, if I try to look at the places / applications menu, it appears underneath all other windows on the screen. You can only see it after minimising them (and then clicking on the menu button again!) I could almost understand it being underneath an 'always o...

The downside is that also involves removing mint-meta-mate (2014.05.20) and mint-meta-core (2014.05.20), two 'these are collections of packages that make up Mint' packages. This may have implications when you upgrade.

Hello "unprinted" I had to actually remove Lightdm AND mdm THEN install mdm before it would work. Note: a simple Reinstall did NOT work. So it would seem some "update/bug fix" to LM16 actually broke something else and caused our problem. Interesting that it only effected a small precentage of syste...

It started happening earlier this week when I was still running 16. I should say that this week was the first time I have needed to reboot in months, and it was only because of needing to swap a UPS that meant I did so. The problem with mdm / some other package may well have happened much before th...

I used xdm because it's old and tested, but there was a catch: you have to edit grub to disable plymouth because xdm doesn't turn it off and it's left running all the time. I don't seem to have that issue, but I have nomodeset as a kernel option which may have been disabling plymouth anyway. While ...

I'm having similar problems, but while lightdm works (at least on the first time I've booted with it), mdm still wasn't even after the 1.6.9 update.

Nope, still no good.

Installing and using lightdm gets me to the desktop on time, so I am sticking with that one.

I have seen http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=169464 and http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=169505 - these both seem to describe the same issue I'm having but the first mdm update hasn't cured it here. It looks like there's been another one, so let's try.. $ dpkg -l mdm ...

It started happening earlier this week when I was still running 16. I took the opportunity to upgrade to 17 via the command line, and that didn't solve it. So I did a fresh install of 17. The very first time it booted, it took about five minutes to start X - the 'failed to start five times, waiting ...

I've reported the Mint Software Manager issue here: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintinstall/issues/52 I can confirm that on a new install of LMDE 201403, all upgrades done, problems with this followed starting MSM. I'd also tried killing the task, before reading this, but as has been said, it happ...

The instability of Firefox 26/27 under Mint16 has got me considering going back to Ubuntu. FF crashes several times a week here using Mint MATE x86 edition in a way that it simply didn't until FF 25 and simply doesn't with Xubuntu. I would quite like to keep MATE (but I see that should be in the Ubu...

Hmm, I will try disabling the hardware acceleration. 27.01 is still not stable for me, and I am a bit pleased that someone else here using Mint is having problems. I have been brutal with plugins and the two left are AdBlock Plus and Tab Mix Plus. Both are essential and both are popular enough that ...

Ahh, it will run in Chromium.

So it's looking like something about my Firefox (upgraded from 26.0 to 27.0 since this started) compared with my Firefox on the other PC and another user's Firefox on this one...

Hmm, copying the other user's .java directory (and chowning it all to me) doesn't help.

None of their other directories has a more recent date, which suggests that no other info is being written, so is it reading some old info from somewhere in my home directory?
