Thanks for this information. How can I get it from the Debian Stable (Wheezy) repos please?

LMDE-MATE- 201403 To get the middle button of my trackpointer of my Thinkpad x40 working I read, I need the "gpointing-device-settings". However searching with the synaptic package manager, I could neither identify this as installed nor as an uninstalled package. How can I get the applicat...

Ooops! Now I am overwhelmed. Thanks a lot for the information. Currently all the packages are Greek for me. I have no clue which packages I need and how I have to get them (I guess it is a special download) and install them. First of all I want to get SCIM running so I can switch between Japanese, a...

I wonder if someone can share experience with this PC using LMDE MATE?

Specs:
Lenovo Thinkpad X240
Core i7-4600U (2.10GHz, 4MB, 1600MHz)
Intel HD Grafics 4400
8GB PC3-12800 DDR3L
Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 + Bluetooth 4.0


Thanks in advance for share experience.

Thanks a lot for your very valuable explanations! What your wrote makes a lot of sense. I expect in to be very happy with the LMDE (with packages in "testing" at Debian). As I am so familiar with LibO, I was just totally surprised to see only v 4.1.3 because 4.1 will have end of life at th...

@xenopeek Thanks for the information and the link to Debian. I will have a look there. Maybe I can help a bit. @wayne128 Also thanks to you for information. Sorry, I am still not fully born newbie and struggle very often with terms used in the Linux world. What means "Debian Sid repos" and...

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am using LMDE, not the Ubuntu based version. What is the situation with LMDE?

Thanks for the command lines. I tried it in LMDE and it worked there as well.

I check the version of LibO and was surprised that it is only 4.1.3. Current version are 4.1.6 (last update in the 4.1 family) and 4.2.4 as stable versions available. In AskLibO we typcaly advice that with x.y.4 the versions are very stable. Installing from there is regarded as "conservative&qu...

when I looked at your name I started smiling. Here Japan we have already temperature around 25deg C. Thus WinterTroubles help me out of Summer Troubles.... Have a nice day!

Thank you for the hint. When I right clicked on the file, i selected only Open with Gedit. However now I saw the option "Open as administrator". As I used my superuser password before, I understand that the system still recognized me as superuser = administrator. Another step to enable wri...

I need to modify my .bash_profile file to enable SCIM. I opened my dot.bash_profile file using Gedit. I could easily enter the text and a note (after a #) but I could not save the file with new lines added.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry I am newbie. What is the command string I need to make the proposed check?

Thanks for clarification. Especially to WharfRat.

Thanks for the link. However link concerns Ubuntu based LM. I am usin LMDE MATE.

As you can guess from the title I am newbie - not even fully born into the Linux world. I installed LMDE and during this process I need to enter my name etc. I also created an account fore a test person thereafter. In this case of the additional account for the test person I can set the authorizatio...

Most folks just edit the topic title adding [Solved].

Thanks for this hint as well. BTW. LMDE Mate 32b runs pretty nicely on my ancient x40!

Thanks for the help with the Youtube video. This was the solution; really unbelievable simple. The MATE installations is running... Just info for others: Also booting LM Debian 201403 MATE 32-bit, the loggin of the user "mint" freezes. For me, moving the cursor once it appears a small roun...

Although I want to change to MATE I got the Cinnamon running with the "moving-cursor" trick in previous post and wanted to learn how to install LMDE. When it came to partitioning the HD, I did: Created a new partition table /dev/sda1 for root free space preceeding: 1MB (default) new size (...
