Victor, the error message is complaining about glib, not atk.
Welcome to the Linux Mint forums!

Welcome to the "crazy" bunch....It's interesting that "Expermintal" b0rks less than Sid...as far as needed libs/apps...if you've got G-S working....you are there I just let the taps open on Expermintal & let come what may (zerozero is doing the same)...I post if anything b0rks real bad... But, it all depends on when you update & what source you are pulling from. I recommend Debian main--no mirrors..samriggs wrote:Alrighty I decided to wipe out my system once again and actually try this
Got things going ok so far but one question would be nice to be answered, out of all those files what list do we actually need to get gnome 3 and gtk3 working?
Going through the huge list in synaptics which ones do we need?
There is a lot of them that say version 3 but not all are for gnome 3 by the looks of it.
Just afraid of installing stuff that might break it or stuff I really do not need, all I am looking for is the list of whats basically needed to get it going then I can add from there slowly
Kind of interested in how this works.
Here it is the first part before any tweaking the heck out of it, its still trying to download a lot of files, I selected a lot of them thinking I might need I feel a bork coming on
Got to tweak the heck out of this thing and theres 288 mint updates available it says

I had the same experience a month ago on a small ASRock computer. As it is a "production" system, I did not reload LMDE but replaced it with Katya. Now I run LMDE only from an extra partition of an "experimental" computer.samriggs wrote:did another update with dist-upgrade and watch everything get removed
Ya that was weird, I can't get eclipse to work either after that update, its toast, so if I update experiment it wipes out gimp, (just checked it again to see if it would and yup it wants to remove gimpers and I cant get eclipse to work, so thats two programs I use 99% of the time, actually I can have a cmoputer with just gimpers, inkscape, eclipse and a browser and email client and I'm good to go, so half of what I need don't wanna work, well gimpers will if I dont update experiment.sv1xv wrote:I had the same experience a month ago on a small ASRock computer.

Click on your name on top right then hold down the alt key and the menu will change to give you shut down as an option. That set up had to be the dumbest decision the Gnome devs made. It can be fixed, like most things in Gnome3, by an extension.samriggs wrote: I can only shut the system off by pressing my on and off button not the shut buttons work yet.
Ahh give me something to play with for a bit anyhow
I got it working no problem on linux and even gnome 3, did you install libzip1? and are you using a 32bit system? that was the two requirements to get it to work, I can get you my deb file if you want to try it.GregE wrote:Sam,
The Kobo Linux software has never worked for me. It will not let me log in. However the Windows version will run under wine. You need a newer version of wine, 1.2 or newer. Then plug in the Kobo and wait until it mounts, then start winecfg and set the Kobo to be a floppy disk. Then start the Kobo Windows software and it will sync the Kobo and your account. It is annoying in that you have to keep logging in every time you do anything, but it works.
Just in case the Linux software no longer works when you try it.
enjoy

No problem, its a must for the wife so I had to make it workGregE wrote:@samriggs
I tried the Kobo linux client again and it works. Very happy to get my Kobo working natively again. I think it was just that for the last few months i was using the 64bit versions of various distros. My current setup is 32bit LMDE with Gnome3, so I think I might stay 32bit until I update to a new eBook reader - a long time off as the Kobo is great for reading books.
Thanks for making me try again.

Yesterday, I had tried going the dist-upgrade route a couple times, but that went to be a real mess real fast. By "real fast", of course I mean, go to the grocery store and hope it's done downloading and processing by the time I get back. Deleting the clone and starting over is the fast part.
Anyway.
No matter how you do it, for the moment you will need to remove evince then install the Gnome 3 version. Dependency problems will always happen when you take stuff from experimental.drewkeller wrote:Hmm.... was gonna try this out in a virtualbox the other day by installing on top of testing similar to GregE (via cloning an up-to-date LMDE-XFCE vbox) but kept running into unmet dependencies with libconf2 or some such.
