Thanks for the reply...

Now as far as I read in that article, that was only implemented in 2.6.38.
There is a power bug that appeared also in 2.6.38...

Is there a kernel version that provides this patch, yet isn't affected by the power bug ? like... 2.6.38.1 for example ?

My situation is fairly the same. Can anyone assist me ? Firestarter does work, with the issues mentioned in another post. I was wondering, could I copy the iptables configuration set up by it, get rid of firestarter and use the the settings... any reason this wouldn't work? Why buy hardware for some...

In the blog we read: Performance boost One of the most significant improvements is the performance boost given to this edition. Here are a few figures comparing the memory consumption in the 32-bit live sessions of Linux Mint Xfce and Linux Mint 9 Xfce: * Mint Xfce: 114 MB RAM (Mint 9 Xfce: 153 MB R...

Uhm... It's strange... Enable the firewall first, from Terminal: sudo ufw enable sudo ufw status sudo ufw delete 1 sudo ufw status I did a clean install. It's gone. It was a side note anyway. Question. Why does firestarter start up and stop and such ? Why can't it leave the rules in place ? Why doe...

If there are levels to dmesg - with is dmesg -n X display nothing at all ?
Are the kernel boot informations logged to some file somewhere ?
Is this a kernel bug waiting to be fixed ?
Hello ?

Hello Mindmint There's no desperation, it's rather an amazement that the issue is still not solved. :shock: I thought this was only an issue for me, for I'm not yet comfortably knowledgeable with linux... but how come you are caught off guard by this ?... am I being suggested to give up ? No one is...

:) Simpler isn't easier, simpler is less. Sorry, I must have gotten the wrong impression from your post. The whole Elementary approach is to simplify various functions, to keep the basic functions of stuff upfront and uncomplicated,m while hiding the more complex stuff under the hood. I wrongly figu...

Where do I look for a list of specific changes ? What does Mint bring to the table, aside graphical elegance and software that comes by default here, but i'd have to download in an another distro. Relevant, specific enhancements, affecting usability, productivity and performance. (Btw, I applaud the...

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Allow me to ask some questions that popped up for me while reading your reply... An easy way to reduce Mint XFCE's RAM consumption by about 30mb in one swoop is to remove the Mint Menu, replace it with the traditional XFCE menu. The Mint Menu is a Gnome-Panel ...

No problem. I'll pun an L and an I sound in front, throw in "nd" in the middle, top it with an a at the end, et voila:

Bug report.
I have to disable the account and then re-enable it to get online. For each account.

PS: I found that after a long amount of time, or maybe in certain conditions it connects eventually. (I'm using Xfce.)

I've been trying to find a way to look at the messages that come up during Xfce mint's boot up. dmesg doesn't bring up everything. If I'm not mistaken, there are different levels to those messages, but dmesg -n 1, up to dmesg -n 9 returns nothing at all. Is this a bug ? Where do I find the complete ...

It says it's inactive, and that it "Could not find rule '1'" - but this is because since than I reinstalled my system and never considered touching gufw again.

What would really help me is help with ICS and Firestarter.

Same here. I've been using sidux and was pleased though. I'd also consider, arch and elementary OS.

If I'm not mistaken it should also end with "a". Any other things that need to be considered ? Since we start with L, I'd also continue with I... this would rhyme with L I nux and M I nt. From here I sought for something that sounds elegant for me, and came up with: Lisa - smart, elegant.....

Well, I'm using Mint Xfce right now, as specified in my OP. If it's not getting any better than this... well. I guess I'm in the right place already and all I need is a little more RAM. But I just run into trouble with VirtualBox on it, so I think I'll give Debian Xfce a try. After coming from aptos...

May I know why ? Mint is based on Ubuntu. Well, not the xfce edition. But, how can you run mint while hating ubuntu ?

This post is my take on Linux and speed and productivity, I'll show you what I found in my search after a more suitable OS and hope to get some feedback. I'm one of those users who need a responsive system, that's not bloated, for i usually run too many apps myself. Peppermint OS seems to go to grea...

My feelings on buntu are pretty clear by now. Haven't tried Unity ... Only ever tried a couple buntu releases. Based on the experience and impression I got. Think ubuntu is overall hurting linux. Am a newb atm ... while not the avg comp user. Having spent many years submerged and exploring PC tech....
