Linux Mint Forums

Clearly understood, more power to you. To clarify the Mate in Linux Mint thing: 1. Mate 1.20 in Debian Stable is for sure older, Mate 1.22 was published in March of this year. 2. Mate 1.22 is different, there are some refinement in the panel, but Mostly the Applications that are bundled with Mate ha...

difficult, very.
Distro-Glue

actually it is difficult to use the Debian Stable repos for the same reason

Odd numbered versions (1.23) are in-house testing, never released.
Mint doesn't have the entire Mate ... You may want to install each of the individual packages from the Mate website, or try another distro.
Best of luck

what version of Caja is being provided by Mint?
Debian Stable and Testing both have 1.20.3

has anybody filed a bug report? (I looked, I don't see any reports on this)

I can't reproduce it so a third hand report does no good.

xenopeek: that's unfortunate
Can you tell us what ISO you are using?
Installer, the Debian or Calamaris?
Desktop?

I obviously am having the opposite experience, but I use default language and mirrors.

I am a dedicated Mate user. When Ubuntu dropped Gnome2 I went looking. Stayed with the holdouts that used Gnome2,,, Pinguy and Solus mostly. Mint had a offering of Mate that was useable, so I migrated. LMDE was my cup of tea, Mate of course... then that got super funky and finally died. Jessie Mate ...

look at a map... faults, and earthquakes are very localized.
nothing to worry about... unless you are in very specific locations. even there it is rather simple to construct with events in mind.

sea level rise? we should all live so long that it actually has any effect, if ever.

apparently GRUB is installed on your USB device. Start your Linux session In a terminal run sudo blkid *note the location of the fixed drive on your computer.... probably it will be sda and you would see something like this: /dev/sda*** If it is sda, run this in a terminal sudo grub-install /dev/sda...

I see you are getting lots of personal assistance over on
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/860.
stick with it, they are all great

BTW: you do seem to be unique with this issue, best of luck.

I am sure it is possible to enact a password requirement... but personally I don't know how, nor am I motivated to try to figure it out.

"user friendly" is your goal. you have that.

@ scottydog That is a tough question. I think you would probably be better with Mate on top of LMDE3 as a "died in the wool" Mate fan, neither are my true "favourite" Mate version, and features... but both are OK neither version would be a real "lightweight" but LMDE3 is more compatible with modern ...

One Note? I had to look it up: "Microsoft OneNote is a computer program for free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration. It gathers users' notes, drawings, screen clippings and audio commentaries. Notes can be shared with other OneNote users over the Internet or a network. Wikipedia...

I believe I read that Ikey Doherty (the developer) left Solus a month or two ago, he wrote a going away letter. Rumor was that he got booted out by some others. Whatever the case, I suggest you go to them and ask for help. https://getsol.us/help-center/home/ =====PS I searched "Ikey Doherty" and fou...

Congrats
Never heard of Flextech
Will Google it and see

I am not an expert, just drawing from personal experience...

just install Grub on sda. if that does Not work then try sdb... and then try sdc if necessary.

let's start by getting a list of your partitions run this command in terminal, enter password when asked (it will not display anything in the password field) sudo blkid now, you have a list of partitions ... probably the BIOS wants to boot to sda run this code in a terminal sudo grub-install /dev/sd...

Have you tried any other distros? (non-Mint) ?


I had a Asus Eeepc but I gifted it a couple years ago. Nice units.
I was able to overcome that resolution problem, don't remember the details.

Imagine there is Debian as a distrubion and Mint, Deepin, Neon, Elementary, Ubuntu etc. are all just skins. I'd like for Mint to pioneer this idea - allow Debian users to just install it as a skin, with all the configs and what not, but in a way that is reversible so one could swap 'skins'/have mul...

Sunday, November 11, 2018 Timeshift is a hog, it sucks up a Lot of disk space! https://preview.ibb.co/fh1cYV/timeshift.png To combat the space problem I created a separate partition for the snapshots. I thought 10 GB would be OK considering the entire system is about 5.5 GB but it got full and I had...
