Linux Mint Forums

I'm using Linux Mint 14 with Cinnamon and for some reason, I can't right click the desktop and my two icons (home, computer) are gone. I can't even drag the cursor to make that green square thing. Strange, I had the same problem in Zorin OS 6 with I put Cinnamon on there... *I restarted my laptop an...

Uh no, just ignorance!
Sorry

I would so download that

I'm using Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon and I now know this is a Ubuntu 12.10 issue, but since I'm using Mint now, how do I fix the video issue? Like on Youtube when I full screen the video it sometimes is very small, white screen or black screen. I hear it just fine, but can't see it.

Thanks

Which one do you think works with a G98M [Quadro NVS 160M] ? because I'm not seeing a logo (kinda important
Or should I just try the others listed?

Other than the driver issues that I've been having with anything 12.10, it works just great. My question is will I need to download Linux Mint 14 again or is the RC good enough? Oh and do you know how to get Nivida drivers on Mint 14? There is no "Addional Drivers" I tried to get them work...

I know Ubuntu 12.04 (Mint 13) is supported until 2017.
So how long should Mint 14 be supported? Assuming it's an LTS

I could just download Linux Mint 12 and get them from that, but is their another place to download them? They were really nice

Doubt it, I ran Lubuntu 12.10 and that worked better, but still buggy. I just figured Mint would stick with what's stable (12.04)

I hope not because 12.10 is very buggy on my computer and doesn't work right with certain programs.

Lol I've asked 3 questions already and everybody keeps asking this.
I'm using the lovely Cinnamon

Cinnamon

Some distros have the tab "theme" when you right click "change background" but Mint doesn't so that makes it harder for me.
Easy way to install themes, I don't care for the green default.

I don't see any way of changing the icons like in Ubuntu.

Thank you! It works now

I tried using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

and it's not showing on Light DM (I installed that to)

I've been wondering why I still have Chromium 18, when 19 or even 20 is out
