Thank you for the assistance
I have followed the steps outlined above but the desktop does not seem to be changed

Good day! I was previously usning Mint 11 untill it reached end-of-life so I backed up my software and files and downloaded Mint 14 Cinnamon, it worked well so I did a full fresh install formatting the old partition. After that I restored my software and files, everything seemed to be working wonder...

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! that worked! Do you think there would be any harm in typing sudo chown -R username:username /home/username to change everything back to my ownership? Or does the home folder contain some files that should be owned by root? by the way ( find `pwd` -user root > perms.txt ) resulted in a ...

After performing a backup and upgrade many folders I need to work with are owned by Root (not me), have I done something wrong? and changing the owner back to me using an administrative file viewer (open as administrator) and clicking the "apply permissions to enclosed files" doesn't chang...

After a lot of trial and error I found that removing the folder " .gnupg " from my home folder solved all my problems :D can anyone educate me about what this does? Googling "gnupg" showed "gnu privacy guard" but I have no idea how this could have caused my problems or ...

Anyone?

Thanks for the reply

Hi! I'm completely new to instant messaging programs (I usually chat from within my gmail and yahoo accounts) but I decided to try pidgin and I have a few questions. 1- I added my email accounts to pidgin but sometimes I can chat with people when I log in to my email who aren't in my buddy list in p...

Thanks, but it didn't work! , it said that the password was changed successfully but the old password is still my root and login password (even after a reboot)!?

Hi, I've been trying to change my password in Mint 8 but after I enter my old password and the new one (twice) and click on the "change password" button the application freezes and the old password isn't changed :( . I tried rebooting but the problem remained. Anything else I can try? Thanks

Hi! I upgraded a mint4win mint7 to mint 8 and it's working just fine now but this might just be my good luck and I'm sure it's not advised.
Why don't you backup your data and try?

Thanks a lot for your time and effort.

Unfortunately that was the extent of the advice (found on a Debian forum) I tried installing again and again the same error messages appeared
any further advice?
