Thanks for this.
Happened to me after a clean install of Mint 20.1 MATE.
Installing the HWE Version of synaptics solved my problem.

I had some time to run backups and upgrade to 18.3, which solved the problem!
Thanks for all the help everyone!

Bother me? Not at all!
I appreciate any and all suggestions, and that people take the time to try and help me out...
Sorry if I "sound" otherwise, but this problem was really getting to me (many hours wasted on this)

Install staging branch for better chances at getting software or game working.

Thanks for the suggestion, but been there, done that.
Gives the exact same problem as the Wine package available from the Mint repo...

I've seen the "wants to remove a lot of stuff I need" here a few times, and I've gotten something similar to the "wine : Depends: wine1.6" in the past, which **I think I fixed** by "sudo apt-get update", and then... ..."completely removing" (="purge"...

Hi couple things I would try to upgrade to 18.3. Is your system up to date? if not do so now. You should be able to install playonlinux and then you can install any version of wine into it. My system is up to date. I could try an update to LM 18.3, but that's a bit too much work atm... I already tr...

I can't seem to install Wine on my laptop (running LM 18.1): In the Software Manager is says: "Please use apt-get to install this package" (Button says "Not available") Running "apt-get install wine" gives me: The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine : Depen...

Good to hear this works for you!

I thought I'd share my script here as well.

Hello all, I had problems setting up my Wacom tablet (Pen & Touch) a couple of times, and wrote a script to make things a little easier. This script auto-detects the correct tablet ID, initializes it, sets the button commands, and has the touch-toggle integrated as well. To use this script, do t...

I'm on 64bit Mint 17, and can confirm this (what I think is a) bug. Ubuntu users seem to have the same problem. I'll post back here if and when I find a solution to this problem. - EDIT- I think I found the solution: instead of turning "Touch" off, use "Gesture": #!/bin/bash DEVI...

Tried the 32bit install of Mint Mate 17. Similar problem - hangs on Starting plugin: ezoom However, I can type in browser, select windows and move them around. So it is better than in the 64 bit install. I just tried the ezoom plugin, but it seems to be working correctly... The only thing I can thi...

I tried to get compiz to work on the live CD version of Mate Qiana following this tutorial. Can't get it to work. sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins-extra libdecoration0-dev It hangs on the line compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: ezoom sudo gsettings set or...

Nice tutorial! A few notes on my installation: 1) Instead of manually installing, I just installed using the Software Manager. Search for "Compiz", and install: - Compiz - Compizconfig-settings-manager - Compiz-plugins 2) In "Startup Applications", instead of using "compiz -...

I installed Cinnamon in MATE just out of curiosity. BAD CHOICE! It messed the entire system up! A lot of stuff is doubled, and the system is totally confused about what programs to use; Startup applications, background images, power manager... Unless you're planning to re-install anyway, DO NOT ATTE...

I did the same thing.

I have seen it mentioned somewhere that this is possible (MATE and Cinnamon on the same system), but this actually screws everything up!
DO NOT install both desktops!
You'll end up with a complete mess!!

I agree. It should be installed by default... I also managed to get it working on Mint 15 (MATE) 64bit I used sources from caja-actions 1.6.2 While installing, I created a .deb using "checkinstall" ([url]http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/162[/url]) You can grab it here: (64bit o...

I was having some problems with stuttering sound too. In my case, the stutter only happened the first few seconds when playing any sound. After about 5 seconds, playback would be normal. I also almost got to the point of uninstalling PulseAudio. However, after reading some more about it online, it s...

The following seemed to fix it: 1) Open Terminal, and go root 2) Run the following code: (Replace mdm with lightdm if you use LightDM) dpkg-reconfigure mdm 3) Reboot (And see the "Broken pipe" message for the last time) 4) At this time the message was gone, but the Mint desktop did not lo...

Hi all, I SEEM to have found a solution... (As there have been some before, I won't get too excited... :wink: ) It seems to be a problem with both LightDisplayManager and MintDisplayManager (LightDM and MDM) The following seemed to fix it: 1) Open Terminal, and go root 2) Run the following code: (Re...
