LM 19.0 Cinnamon In the KDE desktop environment I really liked to have different backgrounds for each activity because it was so easy to see in which activity I am. In Cinnamon I could create several workspaces. For each workspace I want to have a different background and cannot figure out how to do...

Thanks for your help.

I installed now Shutdown Menu With Icons because this one has hibernation.

LM 19 Cinnamon

I installed the shutdown applet into my panel. However, of the visible items, only "Log Out" works.

How can I get the other items working?

Thanks in advance for your help!

LM 19 Cinnamon. Complete newbie to Cinnamon

I am grateful to hints on how to change the default Cinnamon icon set for hicolor > scalable?

Experience report I was VERY disappointed when I saw that LM 19 does not come with KDE anymore. So I started as a Cinnamon newbie to play around a bit. Was not happy and found following: https://linuxhint.com/install_kde_linux_mint_19/ I used this information immediately and was very happy. Back to ...

@smurphos Thanks for your help! Add programs and links to files work. It is a bit tricky because the command window allows to browse to the file but it is still needed to add xdg-open in front of the the of the path to the file. Just as you mentioned xdg-open /path/to/item . I added about lines for ...

Thanks guys for your replies.

@ Lord BoltarNo I am don't want the links in favorits, but directly in the panel. @smurphos - This sounds like the solution. I will try and get back.

LM 19.0 Cinnamon I am completely new to Cinnamon. Until LM 19 I used the KDE desktop environment. In KDE I had on the right side a panel into which I could place links to frequently used application (Firefox, Thunderbird, LibOffice and links to about 5 LibOffice files which I need often. Now in Cinn...

I have 2 PCs, one runs LM17.3, the other LM 19.0, both with KDE, and both are in the same WLAN. How can I connect both PC ad-hoc to exchange files? What I found so far in the internet contained to many - for me - not understandable abbreviations and I was not able to set up a connection. Your help i...

@xenopeek Thanks for your information on getting Japanese writing running. In Cinnamon I succeed to get IBUS-mozc running; don't ask how. I tested a few text tools and it worked fine. However, the icon was VERY difficult to be seen. As I did not like the Cinnamon DE for my of working I installed KDE...

Cinnamon to me looks good and appears to be a nice and the right desktop environment (DE) for LM beginners. At least I will recommend it like this. However, as I used LM KDE since a few years and appreciate a lot the flexibility and functionality of panels and desktops, this DE suits my way of worki...

@jimallyn Thanks for the information. I have already cinnamon installed. Now I see things where I prefer the KDE flavor. Some things (Dolphin, Kontacts, etc.) I can install in Cinnamon. Now I need to see a bit more of Cinnamon and find explanation on how to install KDE on top of something else. Mayb...

It is good to read more comments especially if they all point into the same direction.

I installed LM 19.0 Cinnamon in the meantime and struggle with the switching over between Latin character lanuages (English, Dutch, German, etc) and Japanese. This on my Thinkpad x230 with a Japanese keyboard.

Thanks @xenopeek for your opinion.

I will follow your advice and jump to 19.0

I am using LM 17.3, 64bit, KDE and need to upgrade and change to Cinnamon flavor. On one side I like to install 19.0 but I am afraid of possible bugs and that I am not able to implement countermeasures. On the other side I can assume that 18.3 is pretty stable. My knowledge on the usage of commands ...

Thanks for the quick reply. Then I will go with the Cinnamon flavor.

I can't find any information on the release date of LM 19 KDE flavor.

Will there be a KDE flavor release and when?

Thanks for your information already in advance
