Ubuntu pulls the plug on Kubuntu. It will no longer be supported.

not a bad beginners list however it needs to be updated

Very nice. Need to keep this thread open. I will be sending the unhappy Ubuntu users this direction.

Hi, If you are already using a different desktop, then press Alt + F2 and run the command "compiz --replace" to test compiz. If it works you can then configure your desktop to have compiz automatically run on start up. Installing fusion-icon is what some people prefer to do this, or you could creat...

My eyes are tired of reading all the whine and woes about the new release. GET OVER IT! Its an RC for Christ's sake. I expected better myself but its a work in progress. If you have pertinent information as to how to improve it. PLEASE POST IT. If you want to whine some more DON'T, put up and shut u...

Meh. Been using it for a couple of hours now, and I just don't like it as well as I liked Mint 10 and 11. I hate the upper task bar, and I hate that the other notifications aren't down on the bottom right where I like them. I also really hate the new Start Menu. The old Mint Menu was almost perfect...

Nope, no GDM. Using Lightdm and Unity-Greeter. How about that?

Now that I have traversed the links and read the information I consider that road ahead is not worth traveling. Why can't it just be simple? i would consider R-Studio the easiest program to use because of its nice GUI and which shows the actual files.The demo is only capable of recovering a small am...

In Lisa 12 RC

If you do this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-autohidetopbar

It won't work without changing the default distribution from "lisa" to "oneiric"

I would suggest that you bust a move cause "Lisa" isn't coming to the party until later.

Yeah,

A big deal over on the Ubuntu side.

I recently made a backup / restore mistake. Here's the situation. Have 1 hard drive 3 partitions SDA1 running Mint SDA2 running Ubuntu SDA3 open Here's the story: Copied files from 1 to 2 but didn't like how things were so reinstalled 2 unaware that instead of copying the files I inadvertently MOVED...

As far as I know there are no differences in the network settings nor the hardware drivers. IE: Ubuntu distros. I have run numinous distros of Ubuntu and derivatives and never had a connectivity problem. This may be a switch issue rather than a OS issue. Throwing caution to the wind I would say the ...

Hello. I am a volunteer at a non-profit organization that refurbishes old hardware to give away. I usually install Ubuntu 10.04 or XP on the machines. I've been hearing good things about Mint lately, so I thought I would give it a try. In the building, we have a 4 port router with each port connect...

The best part of the banter is, no one really cares whether its WORKGROUP or MSHOME or MYHOME or LINUX_NETWORK. As long as each PC has the network setting the same they will all talk to on another.

I'm having the same problem.I used to have a nice bootsplash which I got by installing plymouth-theme-mint-logo' and 'plymouth-theme-mint-text'. But when I installed BURG, it displays the same error message (could not start boot splash: Cannot access a needed shared library.) While booting to Mint....

I'm glad to see that these rules have been posted. I would like to add that the Moderators should READ them before making comments about postings. This should also pertain to the Mint Community.

I'll bet by next year the "latest Mint" will be Debian

Since this last posting we still have seen some changes. Gnome has forked and it is believed that most Ubuntu derivatives will not follow the Unity campaign. The fitments of Unity into the netbook are like Android for phones. I think desktop pc's and laptops are not going to be a Ubuntu goal in the ...
