Clock says 15:38. Go to time settings. Turn off network time. Turn it back on. Wait for 10 seconds or so.. time updates to correct time and says 16:38. (either Cinnamon loses track of ntp when disconnected/reconnected to network, or it fails to use it at login time)
System: crashes/freezes due to /run/user/<uid>/dconf/user being owned by root (upstream bug in systemd, affects all distributions. The decision was taken not to hack XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and not to hack /etc/pam.d.. i.e. bringing back xdg_support.so in replacement to systemd.so as it could create further regressions with systemd)
Cinnamon: Launching keepass + xsel freezes Cinnamon [wrouesnel] (unknown cause/solution, could be related to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR bug)
System: gksu covers cinnamon panel and clutter layer (offending code is in libgksu, won't fix, likely to migrate to pkexec instead)
System: Support for Wacom tablet (configurable via the command line, will need to join forces with Xfce/MATE if we want to develop a cross DE UI. This doesn't justify pulling resources to make a Cinnamon specific solution)
System: EFI booth path isn't standard (EFI installation in Virtualbox works fine, but upon reboot it loses its NVRAM and isn't able to find the EFI boot files)
MDM: l10n doesn't cover new features (MDM 1.4 is still using the l10n it inherited from GDM. Decision was taken to migrate MDM entirely to Mint/LP translations in 1.6, not just mdmwebkit/mdmsetup).
mintdrivers: Nvidia drivers dont automaticaly install nvidia-settings (Tested with nvidia-319 and nvidi-319-updates)
mintdrivers: broadcom wireless chipset is recognize well, but I can’t choose the upper button (it always go back to “do not use this device”) http://www.imagebanana.com/view/jx2lm7vz/drivermanager.jpg
banshee: Banshee will segfault after playing ~30 mp3 songs
wine: Installed Wine, few other packages, when I go to open a windows app (civ2 for the record), it opens the wine gecko installer, and then that window turns “clear” and I just see the desktop behind it.
gnome-system-monitor: in at least 64 bits to see in System Monitor have a high consumption of CPU (2) and Memory
efi: UEFI boot and GPT partition tables, the installer crashes when installing grub. I have installed Ubuntu 13.10 on both of those UEFI systems with no problem.
mdm: There appears to be a bug when logging out then back in as another user – the system just hangs
wine: Same issue with Wine in Mate as in Cinnamon. Installer pops up some dialogs, they are transparent, and then crash. The Wine issue I reported disappears when I switch from multimonitor mode to single monitor. Haven’t tested that in Cinnamon. To replicate, create a multi-monitor setup where one monitor is ABOVE the other, and then run some wine apps. Haven’t tried to setup side by side.
Update manager, Software Manager and some other applications that ask for password, when they open they make the system freeze for 30” and then they ask the password.
language input short cut is terrible as it did on the saucy salamander If our linux mint is not going to focus on the ubuntu-tablet then I suggest to our linux mint team to abandon this very uncomfortable input method for other non-english countries including Korea super + space brings malfunction for menu, everytime I input super + space for type in korean then I meet menu pops up , and even it works not welll either.
cinnamon-desktop-editor Choose an icon dialog does not have image previews
Having links of files/folders on desktop from another hardrive at startup, then mounting the drive will usually crash then restart Cinnamon
I go to system settings to change the default applications to the ones of my choice but it does not work. I tried to change media application for music and video to VLC but Totem remains as the default media player.
Installed Cinnamon and could not install nemo-dropbox. It downloads, but after displaying “100%”, it hangs. I was able to install dropbox from dropbox.com – even though it said it would work with thunar ( and I had nemo). I tried to install gnome, but it errored out: “Could not apply changes. Fix broken packages first.”
Onscreen keyboard activates when clicking the menu on the panel
Login Window for pw on encrypted disks starts too far left with ***,,,should be centered
mate-systm-monitor under recourses doesn’t look great with the default GTK theme
After Installing an application, the category icons in mint-menu do not show
mate-terminal still has a menu bar and is not transparent
The notification will sometimes appear in the bottom right corner of the screen in a position it will be invisible
installed driver for my nvidia 210 using mintdrivers - looking at system info it looks like it made it i can go into admin/nvidia x server settings and it shows BUT if i click it nothing happens ( doesn’t launch the nvidia control panel) - i use system monitor and shows processor activity for just a sec then flat lines
Clicking “help” on most mate applications opens yelp to an error page
Xorg does not start on my ati r128 video card. This seems to be an upstream issue in xorg 1.14, but you did mention the b43 hang issue in Maya.
The new login screen (Mint X default) looks really great but displays both the user name and real name. Is this intentional? (Yes, it's ok because the user can choose other themes, it wouldn't if MDM wasn't themeable)
Magnet links for torrents are not working in Firefox
Still no wacom tablet support?
include a powerful search (like in Windows) in Cinnamon without using Synapse. As you type, it will automatically display the files that you’re looking for.
