Linux Mint Forums

open the Beryl settings manager (either right click on the Beryl icon in the taskbar or it should be in system tools in mintMenu) select the Visual Effects tab and select and enable (if it is not already) Animations in the left hand menu you can then select various opening/closing animations there.

I have two suggestions for mintMenu (first time poster, long time lurker :) ) and amazing job btw. #1. can we map just the windows key to mintMenu #2. it would be great if when I type something in the search box, and hit enter it would choose what I select. The Enter key does not seem to be working...

not a bug with it as such, but when I have beryl installed the menu button retains focus so that I have to click on it twice to activate it, and sometimes the menu appears behind other windows. Any suggestions on fixes?

Today at work I learnt that assembler is funnnnnnnnnnnnnnn :s

I think you may be looking at the end date

wow, that is a lot, looks good for Bianca

I must thank tomcat1965 for providing me with most of this solution in his post here http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=257

Start Synaptic Package Manager (install software on the menu).
Search for “mplayerâ€￾, scroll down until you find the package right click on it and mark it for complete removal.
Search for “firefoxâ€￾, scroll down until you find the “totem-mozillaâ€￾ package (it should be near the end) and mark that for installation.
Search for “realplayerâ€￾ and mark the “realplayâ€￾ package for installation.
Open a terminal and type the following commands: Run realplayer from the “Sound & Videoâ€￾ section of mintMenu (If it is not there right click on the mintMenu plugin and select “Reload Pluginsâ€￾) and click next until realplayer launches.
Once Realplayer has started click on Tools>Preferences and select the “Hardwareâ€￾ tab, in there uncheck the “Use Xvideoâ€￾ tickbox.
Once you have done that you can close all realplayer windows and start Firefox.
Browse to the BBC website and find a video or audio link.
Click the link and when it asks you what format you would like to use choose a definition level suitable to your connection and select Real Media as the codec.
If you have already selected Windows Media then click okay to any error messages that appear and when you get to the media page click on the “preferencesâ€￾ link in the top right hand corner and select Real Media there.
This will allow you to watch video and listen to audio on the BBC website as well as watching video on CNN etc. and recent quicktime movies (CNN will complain but will actually work).
This works on Bianca beta 014

just dowloaded and burnt the .iso looks good on first boot for me

<Igor>You rang?</Igor>

you can post any bugs you find in the relevant section on these forums

check your messages, I told you in there

the emblem will be changed in the next version "Bianca" which will be out soon

my newly themed desktop http://www.esnips.com/web/alephcat-webshare sorry for the link, have not worked out how to get image links working yet.

sorry to do this, but for some time now my grandmother has not been well hence the eraticness of the posting in this sub-forum. Today she died so could some one else do the next news letter for me as I do not think I will be up to it. Thank you in advance.
Joe.

There is a 20% chance of tomorrow

thank you, you have just enabled me to fully migrate to mint I have been wanting to migrate my desktop for a while, but have had to keep windows on it for certain things now I should be able to virtualise and run them on that.

aha, sorry, I can only blame extreme tiredness. I was posting at 5:00 am local time

unfortunately amarok uses them in its default shortcuts so there would be a clash for users of it if just the meta key was used with no modifier.

In the Distrowatch section of this months Linux Format (UK magazine) it has the top 10 most visited between 9 Nov - 8 Dec 06. Linux Mint is a No.4 with 1069 hits behind Ubuntu, SUSE, and Fedora Core. It is also the only riser, all others either stayed in position or fell.
