2. Install the latest default settings package.
a) Open a terminal and run the following commands:

Code: Select all

apt update
apt install mintfb-default-settings
rm -rf ~/.fluxbox
rm -rf ~/.idesktop
rm -rf ~/.xchat2

b) Log out and log in.

3. If your installation uses a language other than English as the default language, do the following:
a) Run

Code: Select all

apt update

b) Use System Tools > Language Support to install all the necessary packages for your language.

4. Change the contents of /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf as root to:

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.7
# Written by cupsd on 2008-05-03 23:40
<Printer Print_to_PDF>
Info Print to a PDF File
Location In your Documents folder
DeviceURI cups-pdf:/

</Printer>

And then run this command from terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo aa-complain cupsd

5. The final version does not place a Desktop icon on the desktop by default. If you wish to have this icon run these commands as a normal user:

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/.idesktop/
cp /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintfb-default-settings/idesktop-installed-desk-icons/desktop.lnk ~/.idesktop/desktop.lnk

6. Bora Black is now the default Fluxbox style. MurrinaMintFB is still available.

7. XChat has been replaced with XChat-Gnome. You can keep XChat or replace it with XChat-Gnome by using Synaptic.
