Linux Mint Forums

Hi guys. So I installed 18.2 (xfce) two nights ago and ran the upgrade. Now I'm sitting on a fresh install of 18.3. I'm having a few issues. 1, the less annoying - My audio was automatically set to HDMI. I don't have a single thing plugged into HDMI and no sound came through my DP monitor. The issue...

I had this issue. I still have it honestly. But what's happening is my audio is defaulting to HDMI, and my onboard sound is defaulting to Headphones(Front Audio). I have to select onboard sound and change headphones(Front Audio) to Line Out(sound card). I do this under the output devices tab in the ...

HI,
Like the title says.
I use IceCream on windows. It has the nice dark mode. Makes reading on a PC tolerable.
I'd like a nice linux alternative.

Thanks!

So, I messed something up.. I don't know what but everything in CSSM was turned off. I turned everything back on that I had on before. Probably missed something that was on to begin with. Some things are working now, some things aren’t. I can't move my windows. The cube is rotating, missing a side, ...

IDK. But it's supposed to work.

O well. How can I delete it without loosing anything?

Little update,

Switched the login theme from the one I was using (FreeSansGrrl GDM) to the base GTK.

I can get into mate, no problem. Still can't get into unity.. anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

So,
Also not working with MATE
Again, I just get a black screen and pointer when I try to switch session.
Don't even get to log in..

^
Awesome, that'll save me a headache.
Thanks!

What should I do about unity?

It was the only one that seemed correct... The others I found were even older...

Was looking around the other day, was thinking about trying unity and mate out. Figured I should be able to install int since mint is sort of ubuntu... Used the 2 lines of code in this guide. http://gamblisfx.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-unity-on-linux-mint-17/ Can log out, can log in to cinnamon, can'...

changed the line, it seemed to work.

Yep,
Working so far. Hopefully everything keeps working.

Thanks!
Glad someone had a solution to this.

Ctrl+Alt+F1 Is the virtual console you're talking about, correct? I get Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela (my username) tty1 my username login: I can see anything I type there. So if I type my password there, I can see the letters. It won't accept it. I get Login incorrect my username login: If I change the s...

Mint loads like normal to the login screen. Then a little box pops up, as if I'd put in an incorrect password. When I close the box I'm at the login screen, It says 'authentication failed' and I'm prompted to input username. It will not accept my username. I can Ctrl+Alt+f1 and it shows my username ...

So, I was running a very buggy version of 16, upgraded to 17.2 ~2 weeks ago. Everything ran great, I've loved it so far. I got a big batch of updates in the update manager, ran them.. everything ran fine for about a day. I shut down the laptop. Restarted it today, it gets to the log in screen, shows...

HI, First off. THANKS! I went through that and not a lot changed. I just happened to have the mint options/applets.. Maybe because I had already installed xfce4 via apt-get. But I did purge it before doing this.. Like, I can't manage to find the setting that lets me get rid of the 'background' for i...

Hi
So, I know I can just apt-get xfce..

What I want to know is if its possible to use the mint 16 live disk to install the minty xfce..

I should add, I Have installed xfce ^^That way.. its just not the same lol..

So, It's been a little bit since I've 'messed with' linux. I've used it to play some steam games and browse the web but not really attempted to tweak or modify it. I finally borke down and installed 16 with cinnamon. I Switched the theme to 'minty 2.0' Which gives me a nice, dark, theme. Problem is,...

So the software manager is malfunctioning? Can you install programs using the package manager? Pretty sure I can but I'll check again. I got steam installed using the instructions on the page. I think its a different issue. I've been playing around with it more when I have time. Anything I try to d...

HI, So I've had this really irritating little issue since my first updates after the fresh linux mint 14 install. Im using mate Anyways, Anytime I go to the software portal or another place where I would download programs and applications and try to do so nothing happens. I click the button/link and...

Hey,
Thanks, I backed everything up and managed to loose the most important folder on my linux box. -_-

Everything is working great now except for the mousepad is still not registering double tap clicks.

Anyways, Thanks again!
