Re: Linux Mint 18.1 “Serena” Xfce – BETA Release
I just installed this on my laptop last night and it is great. I actually love the new desktop backgrounds in Serena so much that I couldn't choose one and set it to switch every 10 minutes. They're really breathtaking! As always, XFCE is rock-solid. I really like the new prominent "Elevated Privileges" bar when running XED as root. Great Work Everyone!!

Installed on an ancient single core laptop. Impressed with how well it's running on this old hardware.

I had to ditch it.
I lost a visual element (taskcoach timer in Notification Area didn't 'show')
My terminator rolled up on launch, until compositing was disabled.
I'm stuck on my customized oxygen-theme also.

until the wheels fall off, I guess.

Re: Linux Mint 18.1 “Serena” Xfce – BETA Release
Posted this issue on the Beta blog for information - Wondered whether anyone here can offer a 'quick' solution before I do another download and install to see if I can resolve the problems!
Loaded Beta yesterday without any trouble and all works fine - Except:-
1 - Cannot access the Apps option, either via the Welcome Screen or the Main Menu (Software Manager) - both routes ask for my password, which is accepted, and then, after a few seconds the Software Manager screen briefly flashes on the screen (but it's empty) and then disappears. Nothing then happens.
2 - Same problem with the Firewall Configuration option from the Main Menu - Asks for my password, which is accepted, and then briefly flashes the Firewall Option screen (again, empty) and then - nothing happens!
Everything else seems to be working fine and there was no problem with the download and install - as this is a Beta release, I accept there will probably be issues, but looking on the Beta Blog (72 posts) I can see nothing similar to what I'm experiencing. Any offers please?
