I installed the 'new' KDE Mint 9.0 on my Gateway laptop this past evening. (previously I've had Ubuntu,latest Mandriva-one, and Mint 9.0 Gnome ) software versions all running successfully on this laptop with not an issue. The problem I have with KDE is the 'wireless' will not work. Everything is set...

Alt-f2 then typing 'Gnome-control-center' is not the problem. I can access the control center with no problems. . . .when you are in the 'control-center' and select 'MAIN MENU' from 'Look and Feel' nothing happens. It does not open what so ever. Nothing. . . Thats where the problems begin. The 'Main...

I was in the process of organising my Mint Menu with the 'edit' function that accesses all of the menu properties and programs. I was grouping programs by their particular function by moving them up and down and putting spacebars between the groupings in each category. (i.e. example 'Internet' Googl...

I have the mail notification program in Control Center setup for a pop mail account and this works great on my desktop. But when I setup yahoo mail account I get an error message cannot execute "fetchyahoo" ;failed to execute child process "fetchyahoo". This is with Helena 8 (64-...

I installed Helena * (64-bit) version of Mint and am totally suprised by the polish and the way it works. I've dumped Fedora 12 (64-bit) and Mandriva (32-bit) off of the machine and the performance is very good and the graphics excellent. I've gotten most all of the software I want installed (even s...

Is the Menu toolbar on Xfce MintLinux anything like 'DreamLinux?'. If so there is a program called 'engage' written I believe by one of the developers of 'DreamLinux' that allows you to place a program and Icon onto the toolbar of your choice. It works somewhat... but lacks some refinement in allowi...

I downloaded the software and burned 4 iso images last night. 3 of them from a server in the US and one in Germany. The image from Germany worked. It may have been Dvd burner related issues with my wifes computer. The Iso burned and worked fine with my system. Now for the problem of getting the Nvid...

Load kpackage onto your computer with synaptic or install it from the control center (one of the many software packages you can install). Run kpackage and direct it to your rpm file. You'll have to be in 'root' mode and or type in your 'root' password. If the the package installs properly you will g...

Is there any way of changing the cursor box in the menu system from the default transparent white to a light transparent yellow to highlight this box as it is moved around the menu from app to app? I believe in beta 1 it was blue. In 2.2 I think a very light transparent yellow would look nice. . . R...

It is when people start placing sneaky and demanding "extras" into the arrangement that we begin to leave the honest principles of free trade behind. such as "you give me money and I'll give this app, BUT, you can only use this app exactly the way I tell you to, or I'll take it back A...

This monopolist,one world view, domination and control of computers by Microsoft is criminal. Why am weening myself away from Windows completely? The high cost,licensing, and registration of software to one machine is garbage. . . Linux and Unix have become the 'free' choice candidates . . despite a...

I don't know how to setup multiple desktops on the menu bar with Bianca 2.2. . . maybe I over looked it in the control center. Unless it is somewhere else. . . .any help would be appreciated. ..

One thing I might add that I forgot to say about Microsoft. . . .and all those software profiteers (gangsters) who follow in Microsoft's footsteps , is that I for one am tired of having my wallet and hard earned money and computer held hostage to their licensing schemes and whims concerning my paid ...

This monopolist, one world view , domination and control of computers by Microsoft is criminal . The high cost , licensing, and registration of one machine only. . . mentality is crap. . .(excuse my language).

I can't really say I can really totally agree with Distrowatch's ratings. . . . I don't know if it is just based on the number of hits the participating disto websites are getting or if it is based on the actual user satisfaction and ease of installation of individual distro's. . . . . . .But I can ...

Reinstalled Bianca 2.2 (erased beta 1) even though I didn't need to. Did a fresh install of Bianca 2.2.It is a definite keeper. . . You've done a great job with your distro. Well packaged, easy to install, quick to fire up and become operational. For the short time you've been around, you've seemed ...
