Re: Window manager options.

The point is that Cinnamon uses a lot mor memory than E that use about the same as XFfce. The problem for me is not memory that I have more than enough. The point is that E is IMHO much nicer and I do not want to choose between a DE that I can stand on a great Distro or a DE that is awesom on a Dist...

Window manager options.

There is pretty much only one Distro that is active enough and has the software anyone could need and that is Mint. Unfortunately Mint does not properly support THE best DE available - Enlightenment - that is lightweight and configurable. The only Distro that properly supports E is Bodhi where the l...

Re: Spotify Free

The deal with Spotify Free is that you "pay" by allowing ads. There is a simple way around the problem... Upgrade to Spotify Premium, bada-bing, bada-boom, gone ! :D

Too fast movies

For some reason all movie clips run wayyyy fast (4 or 8X). In all possible players, Firefox plugins (news sites and youtube) as well as movie player and VLC for local ripped dvds (MPG4 or AVI). It worked the other day
Is there a broken player plugin or did I f-ck up :oops:

automatic mount of removable storage broken

I installed UP7 on my LMDE box and after that no removable storage gets mounted as before.
Not SD, CF or USB-drives, Not ext2 nor FAT.
Anyone with a clue?

Re: Do I need a SWAP file or partition? (8GB RAM)

Having a swap partition is necessary for hibernation and I think for suspend. It is also a safety precaution should you run out of RAM. However, Linux does not swap unless it has to, and with 8GB RAM that is not likely to happen often :) So the answer is, technically you do not need it but I would V...

Re: Looking to buy new computer. Would Mint work on this?

If Windows 8 truly doesn't allow Linux to be installed, how are people going to get computers for Linux going forward? Most/all PC will be sold with Windows 8 installed. Is there a way around for that? I suspect that the UEFI/Secure Boot issue will get sorted out, at least to some degree, with time...

Re: Can't mount my Galaxy S3 in Mint

Supposedly Android device compatibility will be better in Mint 15 as Ubuntu is just releasing better Android support
That should take care of most "I can not mount my <insert phone type here>" posts :-)
