No, it is not possible to add the XFCE weather applet to the Mate panel.

Mate does have a weather applet for the panel bar, mateweather which works just fine. which is install with mate-applets.

first link worked like a charm and i appreciate the walkthrough... Would like to know why it didn't work for me in the first place? i used exact directions just on the newer download.... USB working fine and all OS's i try to run are working fine except freebsd* i'm gonna redownload the iso and see...

I just recently switched from min15 to LMDE64. So far I'm liking it but couple questions. I downloaded VB like i did in min15 through package manager and couldn't get it to work at all. I then downloaded the 64bit package from virtualbox.org and installed and it runs the 32bit OS's fine but won't r...

Transitman, I read your post with a feeling of frustration, thinking, 'but I've already DONE all that''! But I hadn't, as it turned out. I'd followed similar instructions, but telling me to download a different version of virtualbox than the one you suggested. Anyway, I followed your instructions s...

Hi. I've been tearing my hair out for a couple of weeks now, trying to get Virtual box to work in LMDE. If anyone has actually succeeded in doing this, I'd be really grateful if you could help me out. I've read various posts here and elsewhere, but none of the 'fixes' listed are helping me. Uninsta...

From what I read on your last post/picture, you've got a hard drive getting ready to fail.
Those counts indicate bad sectors that grub/Windows/Linux could not read, hence the warning and the running of fsck.

How old is the drive?
Do you have a backup of your files?

While I have one LMDE system working just fine (dislike fiddling as much as the next who wants a stable running system), I took one of my machines and hacked in SolydX, and removed all traces of Mint. While this is not a recommended way, I like to fiddle with at least one system. I am also running L...

Transitman, many thanks!!! I followed your instructions and now I have again the printer services! :D Now I disable debian testing and stay only with standard mint testing repos. As for the Brother printer, I can print with it from windows. Thanks again! Glad it has worked out for you. And you're w...

I guessed what repositories are the jessie /testing (sorry, I'm a beginner) and I added: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free then I updated the system in the terminal, and then opened again Synaptic. Now I see (again) several cups related packages with ugradable versions ...

to be more precise with my active repositories: software source: Main packages ON Upstream packages ON Imported packages ON Backported pakages ON http://mirror.metrocast.net/linuxmint-debian/latest testing ON http://mirror.metrocast.net/linuxmint-debian/latest/security testing ON http://mirror.metr...

I have a new problem. In an attempt to solve the above issue (following a thread I've found in a forum), I tried to upgrade cups activating romeo and sid repos. I did upgraded 4 libraries: cups-bsd (from 1.5.3-2.4 to 1.6.3-1) cups-client (from 1.5.3-2.4 to 1.6.3-1) cups-common (from 1.5.3-2.4 to 1....

If user want to use Debian stable, then they should install Debian Stable and not LMDE. LMDE was supposed to be testing. Now, it's more out of date than Debian Stable... What's wrong ? ... Time to leave. Well, since you really did not read what was posted, LMDE users have options Option #1 - Use LM...

I have tried all, searched all the forums, but I can't install properly my Brother MFC-J270w, either usb or wifi. This printer work on 32 bit, I was successful to set up it in another PC with Mint13. The problem is: 1 - Brother do have the .deb driver (cupswrapper and RPL) to install, but is only f...

Get the one for Debian 7

...since LMDE is dead (following old stable now, clem clearly said it (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=200&t=135428&p=756791#p756644 ) and it has been developed by a former LMDE team member. Not sure what you're smoking or drinking, but look at this thread response - http://foru...

clem Hi Alessio, Of course it’s still alive. Our main concern is that it works well though. It’s also set to receive backports but it doesn’t necessarily need to be bleeding edge and have the latest of everything. Nice ! Now we all know that LMDE is following Debian Old stable and that there will b...

Could you please post the output from your grub.cfg file. In a terminal enter pluma /boot/grub/grub.cfg ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(/dev/sda,msdos1)' search --no-...

Ugh, this crap is back in XFCE 4.10. Constant screen blanking makes watching movies a nuisance. In the startup application settings, put these 2 items in and your DPMS screen blanking will go away. Click ADD and then the following; Xset -dpms 1. Name: Xset -dpms 2. Command: xset -dpms 3. Comment: (...

How did you download Pluma?
From Synaptic / Repos or elsewhere?
I opened my Pluma and found the controls all usable, so I'm not sure what you did to lock your self out.
