Hmm, maybe your system tried to actually read the eula (something people almost never do) - I knew it's dangerous for the brain.

Maybe that's why this subforum used to have so many "I want the latest Firefox, why LMDE has only 4.0 (or 5.0)" threads.

Err... that means Ctrl-Left Super, not Ctrl-Super-L

I guess they didn't make their way to the Mint repo, that's all. Mint dev team is pretty busy these days.

I have spent the last 30-45 minutes rummaging around the forums and the Community website.

You should've looked at this topic: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... &start=200

If the hotkey didn't change since Gnome 2, it's Ctrl+Left Super/Windows key by default. You can find that out in menu settings screen (it's accessible by right-clicking the menu button and selecting "preferences" in the context menu). (If nothing of that works forgive me for I am using Min...

Once compiled, can it be updated through our regular automated methods? Most probably, no. That's the usual trap of the tutorials that explain how to "make install" but don't tell anything about how you should keep the source tree intact (so you can "make uninstall" later) or ab...

Well, usually it's pretty easy... you can simply right click on your gnome panel, choose "add to panel" item and then select mintMenu from the list.

A manual gnome classic session install & setup? A thing already done in Mint 12 by the dev team and available in the release? :D Anyway... I suggest you remove that "EXACTLY" word from the title, it can lead people astray. Everyone who wants to stick with that classic/fallback mode sho...

Well, judging by recent forum posts, Cinnamon seems to inspire a lot more people than Gnome Shell/MGSE combo did. Clem is surely moving in the right direction.

System requirements for Linux Mint 12 "Lisa" shown below were obtained from the following link, http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1889 x86 processor (Linux Mint 64-bit requires a 64-bit processor. Linux Mint 32-bit works on both 32-bit and 64-bit processors). 512 MB RAM (1GB recommended for a ...

AFAIK mintMenu just uses Gnome's recent documents list which is stored in ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.

I had concerns that Gnome updates would break the extensions, and I also had concerns that Gnome 3 with all those extensions was becoming too heavy for my netbooks. Not to mention that there's no way to prevent extension conflicts, so carelessly installing too many of them might cause some trouble,...

It's Alt+right click in Gnome Classic. ("Thanks" for that Alt thing should be sent directly to Gnome developers.)
I suggest you log into MATE session instead, you'll find it much easier to configure since it's Gnome 2 fork.

Cinnamon may arrive to LMDE (not an official info, just a speculation) when Update Pack 4 will be ready. PPAs won't, of course.

The one thing we want for Linux Mint 13 is a desktop people can use and say "this is better than Gnome 2". *stands up and applauds* Seriously. Once again, as it was with MATE, it seems to be the most correct decision under the circumstances. :) I have one (somewhat offtopic) question thou...

Hmm... a Gnome Shell fork and Gnome 2-like desktop layout... by Clem...
Could it be a future basis for Mint 13?

Now what? I need a new challenge to continue learning. What should I do next? Hmm... here are some quests that came into my twisted mind :D - install LXC and then install some other distros into it - install Wine and try running any games you want under it - get USB Wi-Fi adapter and try turning yo...

That's right. It's GTK3 and D-Bus, not GTK2 and Bonobo compatibility layer. The fallback mode is not here to stay. The plan is for Gnome Shell to work with a larger set of hardware and for the fallback mode to disappear. In terms of UI, the fallback mode is something nobody wants. Gnome 3 enthusiast...
