I went to Heanet/Testing, and the latest seems to be 23 February.

How does one find the build number of a Mint that one is using?

The “magic” is that “?p=1930” in the URL. I was quite surprised to see that Jesse5567 (#106) had success with a machine which is /that/ old. Every time I read about exeperiences such as those by VeliS (#107), I truly wish that Clem and the team had the resources to find the root causes of such problems.

I had been thinking that my present machine (eMachines T6532) was not typical, until a friend told me that eMachines typically makes “house brand” machines for businesses that are big enough to afford such. So, perhaps, making Mint distros. work on this machine can help mare than I thought.

It would be good if everybody who has problems (and successes!) to add to Mint’s Hardware Database. The Database would benefit from “fill in the blanks” (lots of them; detailed) to help get essential information; as well, recommendations for commands to run (and apps. to install) to get system info. would help significantly.

I just went to , a rather-interesting place to visit, and saw

“3 Days ago || Lisa LXDE Edition i386 (build #20120302-1449) Approved for Stable release.” That’s encouraging! Googling on the build number (above string between () )took me to a page where test results were reported. Considering that I have no special privileges whatsoever, I do note that some details of development and testing are open to access. I do hope that civilized behavior continues!

No promises, but I’ll try to download and burn a CD to try this build (if it’s accessible; Heanet?), and report (here, correct?) what I find when I try to run it. I just might let it create its own partitions, and I’ll pester the developers here politely if it creates misaligned partitions! (Apologies for being a pest…) I might also try it with partitions I create.

Again, visiting , where one can see a long list of tests to run, it looks as though Mint releases are not stress-tested; even when automated, do they simply take too much “people-power” (was: manpower”)? Of course, Ubuntu does have the resources for stress testing, so Mint would need (if practical) to test only the changes/additions it makes.

Best of luck to all!

The only problem I have is that it doesn’t pick up my USB lexmark s301 printer. This seems to be an issue with Ubuntu as well since 11.10 with the v3 kernels and cups v1.5

Great Job.

Fast, Efficient, Stable, Clean and Uncluttered Desktop.

LXDE RC fixed several window size issues with some applications on my older laptop. Thank You.

Not having power management makes portable ops a little problematic
but that will come in the final release.

Having access to Mint and Ubuntu software repositories is such a gift.
Thanks to all who make it all work!

All the Best,
lradio1

I was afraid you dumped the project.
LXDE is essential when you do not need lots of GUI resources working in a space between neither client nor server mode (say: development) or between gui and command line (expert mode).

I used to like gnome 2.x, 3.x is too posh

Please keep going
Marco

I have a new laptop.Toshiba Qosmio F750. I had a few problems with it while installing linux. I first tried to install linux mint 12 and while installing it I got errors and I couldn’t get further in my installation of linux mint 12. I installled linux mint 9 but it doesn’t recognize my wireless card and display card. Finally I found linux mint debian version. It works ok, but I would like to try Linux Mint 12 LXDE RC. My question is : when I install the new version of mint, will my drivers be able to work under the new version of ;%BMg;:bdfb;fdmllinux mint?
Kind regards.
