Linux Mint Forums

Is there anyway we can get a direct link to the website under the "Community" tab ie. "forum" and "blog". I can not find an easy way to navigate to the Cinnamon webpage without just typing it in myself.

I have heard of a lot of problems with muon freezing on updates. I am sticking with synaptic for now since I was able to get mintupdate to work properly. But every computer and user has different experiences.

When I first updated Mint 12 KDE, the first thing it did was update the mintupdate itself, then restarted it after that. It all worked for me. I'd try opening Synaptic and search for mintupdate, update just that one package and then try it again. Well, I used Konsole and the apt-get update/upgrade ...

I am very surprised nobody has found a solution. Clem, Vince, anyone? This is an integral part of the 'ease of use' Mint has always accomplished. Surely there is a solution.

I have always resorted to a new full install to get it to work, since it only takes about another 15-20 min of my time because...

With the release of Cinnamon, I am ready to delete/purge all other existing DE that come included with the main edition of LM12. How can I go about purging MATE? Also, can I purge Gnome now with the release of 1.2? I know 1.2 has moved further away from Gnome Shell, but I am wondering if I were to p...

Now that LM has signed an agreement with DuckDuckGo, is there going to be a custom search enhancer geared toward DuckDuckGo? Some of us are unable to donate and use the enhanced search to do what we can to help out LM. Also, I have other OSs on my computer and was wondering if there is a way to get...
