Wow ... this thread is still going

I installed Mint 17.3 Mate today and was looking for applications and remembered this thread.

I noticed the original link was updated in 2013 from 2008.

Also, great to see the others have added more links.

Wow ... it has been over three years since I started this thread :mrgreen: It's also been almost as long since I came to visit. Decided to get back into Linux Mint 11 main edition 32bit and I'm really like it ... installed it last night. I wanted to replace my windows 7 on my HDTV pc with Mint but r...

The distro I have used the longest is Mint xfce 5 ... it does everything I need at home. I am still using it today :mrgreen: Installed Mint 7 64bit but could not get the HDMI sound working on my HDTV, gave up and installed windows 7. I was surprised that media player supports xVid's out of the box. ...

I installed Mint 7 64bit on a Asus M3N78=VM which has onboard 8200. I used the nvidia 800 driver and got my 1920 x 1080 res on my TV going but so far no sound thru HDMI. I went into the sound area and tried using HDMI sound for music and movies but no matter what I have tried so far, no sound when I...

Seems faster to me

Hi Fred

Happy to see everyone is still kicking

Looking forward to this release ...

The enhancements found in this distro are amazing. The ability to open the terminal wherever you want, to mount and unmount an iso, to check the md5sum, run as root just by right clicking is very useful. Other winners for me include a working version of Brasero. This app is broken in ubuntu for me o...

Found this at the Intel site ...

That app is really cool Husse but I can't make it work.

It freezes while it's rebuilding the kernel ...

I also tried reinstalling XFCE and attempted from a fresh install.

I tried 3 different times and it froze at different places .. oh well.

It looks like the kernel 2.6.24 does not support this Ethernet chip.

How can one update the kernel to 2.6.25 ?

Might not be so easy ...

Have you looked at the power manager? Make sure that it doesn't turn off the screen. Can you provide more info on this please ? Does this advise go for Emerald, XFCE or both ? Is Compiz fusion more trouble than it's worth right now ? I'm up and running on a fresh install, used Envy to install Nvidi...

Looks like my system is broken ... I can't even type in the terminal

Are you referring to the Put display to sleep when inactive for: under screen saver preferences/power management - On AC power tab ? It is set for 40 mins at the moment ... Also, when I reboot the system I find myself in XFCE since I did not enable compiz at boot however, I am missing the minimize, ...

Oh crap ... I didn't know this about the updates ... 1 and 2 only eh. I wonder if I should just do a fresh install and start again ? Also, concerning Emerald, I made a change in the xfce mintconfig a while ago concerning locking out the desktop when the screen saver starts ... should these changes b...

Walked away from the system for a while and it was frozen when I returned ...

Hmm maybe I should have restarted x when I made the change.

Took a few tries before I was able to boot back to the desktop.

I'll give it another go.

Thanks

In XFCE I found option this using XFCE mintconfig from the main menu

I tried the live cd on this system and I am able to access the network however, I tried to play an MP3 and Thudar seems to freeze up.

I need to enter the password to get back to the desktop - now do I disable this ?
