Re: Problems with synaptic
It seems that mint-configuration-kde has something wrong with it. I don't use KDE much. I have a similar problem but get the following: phil@Athlon240 ~ $ sudo apt-get -f install [sudo] password for phil: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgr...

Re: HDMI Audio Issues
I have a similar problem with my Gigabyte GA-MA785 motherboard using the built in on board AMD audio 4250 until upgrading from 3.2.0-26 during a accidental kernel upgrade. Everything else worked fine, and has been since first installing Mint 13 on 07-14-12. I suffered a dozen false starts trying to ...

Re: Mint 13 : Cinnamon crashes after latest update
Problem solved. Installer did not check for previous install grub location even though I checked the use previous installation setting. Grub had to be installed on a different location than the drive the install was on.

Re: Mint 13 : Cinnamon crashes after latest update
My XFCE 13 also crashed after updates a few days ago. After rebooting sqlite was not working so Firefox, Thunderbird, System Monitor and other programs quit working properly. Also booting stopped for a long pause right after entering username and password. After a while it would boot and finally fin...

LM13 Xfce loses window manager periodically
I am not sure if this is a bug or something I did wrong, but at randm times xfwm4 quits running. I fix it by running "xfwm4 --replace" on a terminal and everything is o.k. again for a while. Any ideas??

Re: Do you run 64-bit or 32 bit Mint, and why.
I run 32bit because 64 bit Brother print drivers for my older (about 4 years and wide format) printers are not available to satisfactorily run 64 bit. I also run Win XP 32 on all of my computers so really can't make good use of 64 bit yet. No hurry though, because I still run many old engineering pr...

Re: nvidia driver wont install
You might try booting into recovery mode. At root command prompt type: nvidia-xconfig
It might solve your problem.

Re: Want to change font color for desktop
Thanks a lot, I think we will solve this problem sooner or later. There are no themes in LMDE XFCE that accomplish a white label for icons on a black screen. So I will patch in the changes to .gtkrc-2.0 after I have tried Gnome-color-chooser. We are watching a storm just off shore to see how much ra...

Want to change font color for desktop
In the last few days I installed LMDE 2011-8 XFCE. I am 85 years old and cannot see as well as I used to. The default colors on the default desktop are very difficult, so I go to Desktop settings/Background check no Image and black for color as I have been doing for years. There is only one problem....

I ran sensor-detect on an installation of LMDE 201109 and found no sensors or fans, however, running Mint9 on the same computer produced a list of working sensors and fans.

Re: Has anyone gotten DraftSight CAD to run on LMDE 64bit?
I got Draftsight working on 32 bit Mint XFCE but it did not work as good as CMS Intellicad on
Windows XP and I had work to do, so I abandoned it. And Draftsight costs more than CMS Intellicad.
