telling someone to reinstall is not a fix ! Others have this issue too. i also notice that other third party apps have this issue and their developers are fixing it. the mintsources In the LMDE ( Debbie ) repositories has this issue as well. Please Fix. A Quick Fix : open as root : /usr/lib/linuxmin...

I am using Testing, i just saw people on here post that they had this issue so posted the fix for it.

anybody have a fix for this yet ? I think this bug is related to : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758619 Open your usr/lib/linuxmint folder, then go into the sub folders and look for .py files with this entry near the end : gtk.main() and change that entry to : gtk.gdk.threads_ent...

most of the above is settings that can be changed as pointed out and i fully understand that coming from XFCE, Mate and so forth the os apears to be backwards and wrong way around when you click on things or find window focus not the way you are used to ( E17 is known for its "unique" way ...

There is a new version of installer being worked on that will be in the new 5 series of releases that i am busy with, it is much more refined and easier to use, however with the current installer there is a "install guide" icon on the desktop of live mode that has a detailed video guide to...

to save you some trouble, if you dont want to install it, you can see the reviews here :

we have some apps and services running at startup that contribute to memory usage, these can't be avoided, considering everything, under 300mb is actually quite good, glad you like the distro

we do have an xfce version well that you might prefer...

Thank you. Let me know if you like it or not, i welcome any feedback

At first glance E17 might not look like anything special, but it is HIGHLY configurable, more than any other DE ive ever encountered, including xfce, its also lightning fast and uses very little resources while providing nice eye candy effects. I will admit that it does take some getting used to and...

Ive been trying to find the location of the files that control the "right click" menu in cinnamon. the little menu when you right click on desktop that shows the options create new folder create new launcher create new document open in terminal organise desktop by name keep aligned show hi...

Im trying to update my kernel to 3.8.4. I have done this before and it worked fine, i formatted and reloaded my mint today and I have done a upgrade and dist-upgrade, but now when i try to install the deb files i get errors. sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.8.4-686-pae-madeb_1_i386.deb (Reading database...

it looks extremely complex ...

is making a deb package my only choice here ? is there no other way to make an installer script that will simply extract and overwrite the .wine folder with one supplied ?

I want to backup my .wine folder into a deb file, so that if i install the deb file it will extract .wine automaticly to my home folder, and if i pass it onto friends or anyone else all they need to do is install the deb file and it will automaticly extract the .wine folder into their home folder an...

kernel.org doesnt supply aufs tho. I have already updated my kernel to 3.8, but im trying to make a live cd backup and im having booting problems on live CD because its missing aufs for the 3.8.3 kernel. So if someone can explain to me exactly which aufs to download and how to compile/install it, or...

uhm, mind explaining how ?

Is there anyone that can post a link to kernel 3.8.3, 32bit, generic PAE , with Aufs already compiled ?

All the links i find everywhere are missing aufs

Physical Address extensions. It allows a 32bit operating system to use more than 4GB ram. Windows doesnt have PAE, Linuxmint does. So in windows 32bit you are limited to 4GB ram, but in linuxmint 32bit you arent

version 14, 32bit is PAE enabled, meaning it shows all your ram, not just 4GB, there is no need to upgrade to 64bit.

yes you can, you must just enable to setting in compiz.

open compiz settings manager ( its in your start menu ), and look around, near bottom you will see a place that is called "move windows" or something like that, tick it. then reboot and windows can be moved.
