Linux Mint Forums

Well, I can sympathize, I've never been able to switch to Gnome - though Mint's version had me close to doing it. If you're not afraid of reinstalling when Boo has the KDE version ready, you still can install KDE on top of Cassandra in the meantime... :wink: That's what I did as I'm not very patient...

Very nice too...

Keep it going, I'm learning Spanish thanks to you!

And anyway, welcome aboard!

Ooohhh, good!

I have the impression that the "login as root" questions are coming regularly, why not put all details about why you shouldn't (and when it might be acceptable) in a nice sticky in the newbie forum?

Nick,

Thanks!
I'm indeed using Cassandra and your previous posts explain a lot - I'll try the fix when I'm home.

Hi, Have you tried to see what the plugin is called? I've seen a number of sites streaming Divx using a "divx plugin" (it's a .exe, so of course it's not gonna work in Linux). :( I haven't checked whether the mplayer option works in that case, but should you find a workaround this one, I'm...

Delicious!

Nice. After staring at it a few seconds, it felt like the colors were moving...
I'll have to save it for psychedelic self-hypnosis purposes...

No, no... You always need a plan B. And a plan C, just in case!

Not noobiness, just foresight.

Hi, did you check the NumLock was activated in your keyboard preferences? Right after upgrading to Cassandra, it was deactivated after each reboot, until I checked the option - if I remember well it was in KControl - there must be the same option in Gnome settings. That fixed it for me. I've no idea...

Yes, I'm personally also a KDE user, but Mint's Gnome is the one that had me close to switching...

Mmm, sounds tasty...

Well, I don't know for you, but I like having choices - ie to compare, test, try, discover and play with what's on my machine... and a CD is full quickly enough.

My vote goes to the DVD option as well - why settle for less?

Boo, congratulations!

I'll be looking forward to the KDE Cassandra...

Hello,

It has been mentioned some time ago, but after a kernel or X server update, you'll always have to reinstall the Nvidia driver if you don't want any bad surprises.

At worse you'll need to reinstall it from the command line, though.

Er... the RIAA is known to sue wholesale, including grandmothers without a computer and dead people... So I wouldn't put anything beneath them by principle.

Hi, for that I'm using a Firefox extension called VideoDownloader, it enables you to download the .flv, which you can then read with VLC. I'm still looking for a .swf reader, though. Also, I stumbled upon a site which does the job for you, just paste the URL in it. Google for "Dailysuck".....

Mmm, I can't give you a step by step now, my Mint box is at home, and I'm nowhere close to get there. Sorry... there might be some delay...
