Re: Unable to change cursor size - Every solution failed!

Same problem Mint 17.2 Mate

If I install a custom pointer it only is used in dome applications and not any system objects.

The cursor handler is a POS.

Re: Controlling where CDROM mounts

I'm hoping for an automagic solution!

Since its already being mounted, seems like I should be able to tell it where?

I am using scripts to batch convert audio files and would like to control where the cd mounts. Right now it mounts to /run/user/1000/gvfs/cdda\:host\=sr0/ I'd like to mount it to /mnt/cdrom ...

Launcher requiring root doesn't work

I have a few gui's that require root access.

If I put "gksudo application " as the command text nothing visible happens.
If I type it on the command-line the application launches as expected with a root login window.

Re: Templates folder not working

Cosmo,

That was perfect! My Libre Office template entry is now displayed in the context menu.

Is there any way to have the default application launched when creating a file like this?

thanks again...

Re: tortoisehg in Caja??

sounds dangerous! :roll:

I use Mint because it "usually" provides the freedom for me to use what applications I want to instead of what the distro god says.

In this case it looks like I'm being force fed.....

Re: Compiz install on Mint 16?

I'm no compiz pro, but I would look in your log files, sys and dmesg for clues at to what is happening.

If that doesn't lead anywhere, I would purge compiz and re-install.

I thought it was solved but it is not.

When I reboot its back to broke. System volume up and down do nothing???
