not a solution but a work-around: delete file '.recently-used.xbel' located in the Home folder (ctrl-H to view) and create a folder called '.recently-used.xbel' Totem will not add a recent files list now as probably other applications won't either. If you want the recent files feature restored again...

oh i see, strange how totem was set up as default movie player. will try your suggestions and search for an option. Thanks DrHu

Gnome menu has the Clear History feature - Bleachbit does not clear Totem Movie player List - How is this accomplished ?

Has the 'Take forever Disk Check on Boot' feature been fixed ?

satisfied with mint 9, i thought i'd stick with it 'till all its juice ran out - but the new 'GTK themes support' and 'Update manager Ignore updates' sound too good !! Congratulations and thanks to the entire team for all the hard work !

OK, will keep that in mind - Thanks unexistance

I let it sit there doing the disk check today ... 2 Hours !

Finally had to press 'C' since I had to use the computer.

Is this a known bug ? ...will it be resolved with the next release ?

I've noticed that the 'complete removal' feature doesn't remove folders for that application that are still listed in the Home folders. Are these folders with the old installations safe to remove ? ... would other file sections also contain files for these ? add: i tried 'deborphan' filter and clean...

OK, all working now - all I will be using it for is an old invoicing program which I really do need. Thanks for all the help guys !!

Oh, i see ... will uninstall all then. I will try to see if i can do it without using synaptic (have only used synaptic to install stuff in the past) Thanks ricyrich

The 'Guest additions' for virtual box in synaptic automatically removes the sun version and installs ose version.

OK, Installed the guest additions iso - which removed the virtualbox sun version and replaced it with 'ose' version ... went into xp and under devices and installed 'guest addtions' and re-booted. Now I don't see the usb listed as with the sun version (which usb wasn't working anyway) - but now I do...

I've done this same routine before and it's not working for me.
Just tried it again ... can configure usb manually thru vb but is asking for vendor name, ID, port, serial number ??? - xp loads up beautifully, but has no door to the outside world - would be great to get usb and printer connected.

OK - I was able to get it to work now: Audacity Preferences: Devices/Host: ALSA Devices/Playback: Pulse Devices/Recording: Pulse Recording/Uncheck the box 'Software Playthrough' You also might want to check in Pulse Volume 'all input devices' (don't know if it's needed but a good way to visually che...

yes, mepis is what i was using audacity with and all was working. I'm sure there is a way to configure it to do the same with mint - but unfortunately i haven't found a way to do it.

Those are basically the same settings I am using - are you able to record 'what you hear' on your system ?

I had been using audacity to 'record what I hear' for a long time with anaother distro. By clicking on the record button it would automatically record any sound being played on the system. However, with Mint I have not been able to get this same feature to work at all. Audacity is still functioning ...

I too started with dos back in the dark ages ...and remember thinking I would never switch to the new debutante on the block; 'Windows'. It took some time to master the Windows environment to the point of being able to tackle most problems that came along the way. In the past 2 years, I've experimen...

I get this message after following the above directions: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

Yes, I have that installed... which lead me to search menus for it and found it there. Confusing with 3 entry avenues for printers and all different ! - added HPLIP ToolBox to 'favorites' on menu for safe keeping. BTW it works 100%

Thanks richyrich
