Works for me: I`m using Oxygen Style with Qt Curve scheme enabled and Lancelot is transparent. I assume you have enabled desktop effects as well?

As a long time linux user who has been through the wars I just want to say that the Mint Stick usb writer and formatter is one of the finest pieces of software I`ve ever used. Anybody who has used unetbootin or suse imagewriter knows they can be inconsistent in their success rate. With Mintstick it ...

It`s been a month and nobody has answered this so here goes: simply move the kde panel to the top or to the side of the desktop. Right click panel, then click panel options, then click panel settings, then where it says screen edge you can drag the panel anywhere you want. Top, right or left. Obviou...

Clearlooks is GTK2 not GTK3

Unetbootin works fine with every debian distro, including Mint LMDE. I`m posting from LMDE Mate on a usb flash drive created using Unetbootin.

From Memory but this should work: Go to Compiz Settings Manager and check under Effects, Window Decoration and Animation. Once you check Animation you wlll be prompted to check open gl composting and regex composting. Check O,K. Under Window Management check Window Rules and Move Window. Restart com...

Thanks J.Jay. I think running off a usb is the problem. Followed your instructions and only the network monitor shows up in the applet list . So I may just install on a spare partition and give it a go.

Running from a usb stick. Installed mint menu from synaptic, right clicked on panel to add to panel and there is no mint menu applet. Added XF applet. Nothing. Log in log and and I can`t find it in the add to panel. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Yes I am running it from a usb. Thanks for your reply and the info .

Just downloaded the new release and when I run vlc from the menu it won`t open. Here`s what I get when I run it in the terminal: mint@mint ~ $ vlc VLC media player 2.0.0 Twoflower (revision 2.0.0-0-g421a4fc) [0x865108] main libvlc error: No plugins found! Check your VLC installation. mint@mint ~ $ U...

Whoops. Thanks for the correction.

That`s Cairo Dock I believe. Not sure which theme. There are lots to choose from.

AlbertP. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
Figured it out with the help of this link: http://www.geekmind.net/2011/01/linux-w ... e-due.html

Can`t connect. Has been working fine for a long time. Read the Ubuntu guide, gone through the forums but I`m out of my depth I`m afraid. Ran sudo /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/mintWifi.py and this is the result. Looks like wlan0 is down but I don`t know how to proceed. thanks in advance * I. scanning ...

Title says it all. I click refresh partitions and nothing happens except a small window briefly appears and then disappears. No matter how I set up my partitions when I edit with gparted I get no joy once I return to the Read Partitions Section of the installer. Obviously if the installer can`t read...

Nice job Ikey. I was beginning to think of giving up on LMDE. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the reply. l just downloaded sound juicer and it`s working o.k. . I`ll give your suggestion a try also and see how it goes.

Just installed asunder in LMDE and I get no joy. Nor does any other cd ripping software like grip work. Not sure what is going on. Cds are rercognized in other programs. I can play them in Rythmbox . Any suggestions?
