Thanks!
I'll try that and tell you results later.

Schoelje, thanks again, now it works!
But, there is always BUT with this "unique" computer
I can't get sound and when I reboot machine after installing graphic card driver, I get this error (when logged in): KWin closed unexpectedly (executable: kwin PID: 3022 signal: Illegal instruuction (4) ) ...

Problem with sound still remains... I can send you screenshots on mail if you want just send pm with your mail. (I don't have the same problem as guys on the forum you gave in link)
How can I remove the old user profile (one that I had problem with loging in?

It's better you post your screenshots on a online photo service like photobucket.com and include the IMG link in your post so that more people can help you with your sound issue (really, I don't know everything, although my kids still think I do ).TRZALICA wrote:Problem with sound still remains...

Your are very smart guy and modest, and I must say that that is rarity in nowadays. If someone know something, keeps it for himself and that is not so fair...
To get back on topic.
Here are photos of this problem of mine and I must say that despite of that I make new user and somehow I get the sound but I can't use mixer to control volume on it and this problem with this error still consists.

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP5 [UPDATE: 16/10/2012]
Did you have these problems when running LMDE KDE live?
Let's try some other things:
Let's try some other things:
- Please, uncheck the "Show this dialog at startup" so that it doesn't start the welcome screen.
This at least eliminates one application that could interfere with Kwin (but shouldn't). Reboot. - If you close the error box, what is the first application that shows in the system tray?
- After you closed the error box, could you attach the output of:
You will find a file called dmesg_output in the current directory.
Code: Select all
dmesg > dmesg_output
- Can you left-click the audio mixer in the system tray and open Mixer / Settings / Audio Setup / Audio Playback / Music and test the sound of each device entry in the right pane?
If you uninstalled pulseaudio, you have several devices, if not, just a single one.
What happened (I hope at least one gives a sound)?

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP5 [UPDATE: 16/10/2012]
I've installed Mint DE KDE UP5 on my desktop machine (replacing my now bloated Kubuntu 12.04>12.10) but I'm getting unusually high CPU readings from Xorg.
It normally sits around 1 or 2%, but when I do anything it will jump to anything from 10-25% (for a few seconds) then drop again. It's not a major problem, but it does it when I press the K button, or even create a new tab in Chrome.
Not sure if this is the same problem and possible cure?

Oh, and one more thing:
Sharing a folder. When I right click, click the SHARE tab and tick the box to share a folder everything seems fine. But close that window, reopen it and the folder network icon is gone. Go into the properties and SHARE tab again and the box I ticked is now unticked. I've had to botch this by opening the Dolphin window as root and it will share that way.

I've been looking at the CPU usage issue, but never came any further than you already did.
Did you also have this issue when running live and were you able to solve it?
I didn't get the sharing problem as a normal user.

No worries. I'm sure this distro baking thing takes up a lot of time.Sorry that I'm so late. I'm working on a revised DDM at the moment and it's taking every free minute I have.

I didn't have the problem with the Live DVD, no.
I initially thought it was Chrome to blame (as adding a new tab would slow things down), but using the System Monitor I could see that it was Xorg that was using all the CPU time.

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP5 [UPDATE: 16/10/2012]
I noticed a CPU usage jump of Xorg as well when I open a new tab in chromium, but it hardly lasts a second.
Maybe it's supposed to do that and it depends on the system's hardware configuration (type cpu, motherboard, just guessing).
The groups for your user look correct to me.
You could try this:
Create a samba password
Backup smb.conf and add some configure items to it (you need to hit ENTER when the "testparm" lines are being executed):
Now check if everything is correct
And restart samba (or reboot)
Try sharing a folder.

Sorry, still no folder sharing. Same as it was before: I check the share box, but the settings don't 'stick'.

Another try...
First, check if you are in the users group!
If not, add yourself to the users group, if you are, try this:
Make sure the following is in the [global] section:
Create usershare directory if it not already exists with the right permissions (owner=root / group=users):
Restart samba:
and try sharing a directory again.
