Thank you Linux Mint 13 for bringing back Linux Mint. If you want a Linux Desktop I would recommend Mint 13 Cinnamon

Had a small issue with Banshee freezing the machine but removed it and replaced it with Rhythmbox and all good.

I like the changes they have made and they are definitely moving in the right direction. Seems to run faster as well. Cinnamon is still in its infancy but looks like it can become a really powerful GUI session.

Again thank you for dropping the horrible Gnome 3 and introducing Cinnamon you have gone back to your routes of an excellent Mint install 🙂

Hi,

Hi,

I came from using Mint 12 and tried installing Mint 13 Mate version on an Athlon XP 2100 with Nvidia Geforce MX card, 512MB RAM…

The installer just exits during the file copying stage. When I restart, it doesn’t boot since the installation wasn’t completed. I tried letting the installer use all the defaults and I also tried using some partition settings… same thing happens. I tried using an empty 40GB disk also. Got any ideas?

The live session works great, though… Friendly enough that some Windows users at our office find it easy to use and understand.

Even with the above comment, I have retired Mint 11. I am more than happy with Mint 13 (MATE). Between Maya and LMDE 201204 I do not see myself downloading any other ISO’s within the next five years. As a matter of fact, I haven’t even booted to LMDE since the Maya RC came out. Guess I should, just to see if any updates are out there waiting for me.

Good work Clem and the Team.

Something I recently noticed when using Eye of Mate. About 4 to 5 days ago I got some updates including some mime packages. Since that time EOM will lock up and not open files after 20 minutes or so of use. If I close EOM and restart it the problem goes away.

Is there a cache that needs to be cleared periodically or should I just continue what I am doing and stop and restart.

I’m experiencing a strange issue with installing the 32 bit edition of LM Cinnamon. Well, it’s actually booting up that’s the issue. I installed Cinnamon from a USB without a hitch (note I did a clean installation formatting over my Win7 using the entire disk), but when I try to restart I get a black screen with a constant blinking gray/white underscore (_) in the top left corner. Same thing happens when I specifically select the HDD as the boot device. The strange thing is when I select to boot from the USB I don’t get the normal options you’re supposed to with the install media, instead it actually boots up the LM installation! So, I’m attempting to download, recreate install media and having another whack at it…

Very happy with LM13 Mate Desktop, but am trying to figure out why on one system folders open using Caja and on the other system Nautilus?
Running mateconf-editor I can’t see anything different between the two systems.
