I already have that installed

I recently switched back to Mint after trying Ubuntu but in this new release all flash videos have a lot of screen tearing that didn't happen with Ubuntu. I checked in firefox and it says flash needs updating, but I can't find any files on the adobe site that I can actually install in Mint. Any help?

Yeah I am, how do I do that?

Edit: Ok figured it out and done that, loaded Cinnamon, and now it has no panels and no window borders

This is my stock Cinnamon install. It looks nothing like the screenshots, has no MintMenu, has a panel at the bottom and the top despite being set to bottom panel only mode and changing themes does nothing, it still looks exactly the same. What's going on and how do I fix it?

All I want though is to use my Android apps in Mint

I'm sure by now we've all heard of Ubuntu for Android, but is there any chance of Mint getting something like that? Specifically a way to plug our phone's up to our laptops/desktops and be able to use our Android apps on the Mint desktop?

will Cinnamon brake my Mint 9 Not quite sure what you are asking here. Do you want to replace 9 with 12 or install 12 alongside? You can only run cinnamon in mint 12 so am not sure how it's going to affect 9. If you are thinking of installing alongside and sharing your home, then that is not a good...

I have Mint 9 LTS installed and am thinking of installing Mint 12 so I can try out Cinnamon, will Cinnamon brake my Mint 9 at all or will it all work fine?

Edit: Or is there any way i can try Cinnamon on a livecd?

One reason not to: It's using Gnome 3

How long ago was that FAQ updated though?

Does Pidgin support video chat on the MSN network if the person with their cam on is using Windows Live Messenger on Windows 7?

I just have two disks that the shop i got the laptop from gave me. i don't know what came with it because i bought it second hand

How do I get the recovery disks to run?

Mint says my free space is 90.3gb


I should also mention I don't have the actual disks for vista, i have the backup disks that were made by the shop i bought the laptop from

I have Mint 9 on my laptop and would like to add Windows Vista to dual boot. How would I go about setting this up?

Also, if I get a virus in the Vista boot, it wouldn't affect the Mint one, right? And if I went on a site that had viruses with Mint, it couldn't get to the Vista part?

If Mint 9 was working Why Did you upgrade to 10 :?: Was it something in 10 you just had to have? This is not Windows You Don't have to upgrade to every release as soon as it comes out .Just wait a few weeks Check the Forum see how it's working :idea: If Mint 9 was working before a clean install sho...

I did do fresh installs, I meant upgrade as in it's supposed to be an upgraded version

I was impressed when i first installed it, and it worked fine. Then this week I upgraded to Mint 10 and found that fullscreen flash doesn't work so i downgraded back to Mint 9(the version that comes free with magazines) and found that for some reason, I couldn't extract rar's. So I reinstalled Mint ...
