Linux Mint Forums

My guess is it's probably just related to the repositories catching up to stable release...not sure. But for now, just point to the main repository and it will work fine.

I'm posting this here just in case anyone else runs into the same problem I had with getting bluetooth to work. I installed Mint 18.2 on my Alienware 17R2 laptop. When clicking Bluetooth under System Settings, I was getting bluetooth adapter not found. Output from dmesg showed [ 5.402128] Bluetooth:...

So, am I to understand that this will allow me to play DirectX 11 games in a VM?
If so, you have made my day.

How can you tell which ones are security updates?

Move your mouse over the icon in the "Type" Column.

I don't think there is much point in installing them unless you need something that the update provides, like better hardware support.

Cant find the package nvidia-settings-331

Yes, that package isn't there. try installing just "nvidia-settings" instead.

I don't see the nvidia module loading. I know I've had problems before using driver manager. You should try installing the driver from command line.

downloading the RC at 11MB/s so basically maxing my 100Mbit line.

Great tip, Thanks. Took less then 3 minutes to download.

New problem just popped up today. Every time I click on the menu, my desktop freezes. As long as I don't click on that I'm fine but I confirmed now after continuous reboots that it keeps happening. Only change I've made is the fix I applied for the greeter issue.

All the restarts were from logged in desktop. I have seen the issue where my machine won't sutdown fully but it happens very rarely.

Hi, This was really hard to troubleshoot. We found that the cause of the problem was a segmentation fault in webkit (the HTML rendering engine used by MDM) affecting predominantly users of nVidia drivers. Ubuntu/Mint use an old version of libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 (1.10.2). Upgrading to a newer version (2...

I just tried that out. With compositing disabled, netflix gives error telling me I have to enable compositing. With it enabled I have the problem of sound and no video with silverlight crashing. I should add that it initially worked fine in Mint 15 KDE RC until a bunch of updates came through and th...

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop

It starts up and I can select a movie. But I get audio and no video.

I cannot get netflix desktop to work under Mint 15 KDE. (Works fine in Mint 15 Cinnamon)
Is anyone out there able to successfully use this?

Booting Windows just to watch netflix is a PITA...so really hoping for a solution.

Just add the repository and install it. Works perfect and autostarts as well.

I'm getting anxious for final release too. I tested the RC and everything was perfect except for netflix-desktop, which just would not work.

i cant do nothing! it works only the shell in repair mode...help please, i'm using windows cause this problem :( Why use Windows when you could just use a different version of Mint or even Mint 15 with another desktop environment. Just wondering does it have to be Mint 15 with Cinnamon or no Linux ...

Any solution.... please

thanks in advance

As of right now, the only solution is not using HTML themes.

I'm asking if it's only the html rendering engine in MDM that's unstable. With no responses on the bug report page I would be very surprised if you got any dev answer here on the underlying details of the issue. But since switching to GDM in MInt really means it's still using MDM with GDM themes an...

Yes, just use GDM and you should be fine.

That wasn't really the question...

I don't follow...switching to GDM is something other than HTML? So what are you asking?
