HI, i am updating computer and Linux Mint Mate. All new! I have installed Dolphin from the KDE suite (like on my old computer) but can't find which package to install to populate the Settings; Configure Dolphin; General; Previews. In my old installation I have a working mouse over JPG's to show in the preview panel.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance, Pete

Re: KDE Dolphin on MATE
You could try installing one of the meta packages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE

I believe those are Dolphin Settings.miquelets wrote:HI, i am updating computer and Linux Mint Mate. All new!

If you do not have the Menubar, hit ctrl-m. It's a toggle and can be seen under Settings -> Show Menu.
Then Settings -> Configure Dolphin.
Take a look at View -> Panels -> Information or F11.
Note: I wish developers would stop trying to take away the Menubar.

Merci Orschiro,
I found some packages there to install and then a relogin and bingo.
Thanks

Is your setup a Mate desktop with some KDE applications like dolphin?miquelets wrote:Merci Orschiro,

What packages did you end up installing?
I was looking at the link from the second entry and I don't have those packages (LM 18.3). I'm guessing, but it looks like kde-full is now kubuntu-full, kubuntu-default-settings is kubuntu-settings-desktop, and kde-plasma-desktop is kuntuntu-active.
(i) kubuntu-desktop -- This is the recommended metapackage to install; the full Kubuntu installation, with all the Kubuntu recommended packages. This includes LibreOffice, Kontact, Konversation, Amarok, K3B, and others.
(ii) kde-full -- This will install the following KDE packages: kdegames, kdeaccessibility, kdeplasma-addons, kdeadmin, kdeartwork, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, kdesdk, kdeutils, kdewebdev, and the kde-plasma-desktop metapackage (see details below).
(iii) kde-plasma-desktop --- This will install the core -- the bare-minimum required-- of KDE. That is, kdebase-apps, kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace and kdm.
If you choose to not install kubuntu-desktop, then you can still get all the Kubuntu-specific tweaks by installing the kubuntu-default-settings package. For users with GTK applications, you will need the kde-config-gtk-style and/or gtk3-engines-oxygen package(s) installed, if they aren't already, for proper integration.
