networking to a shared epson x322 printer, it is no longer necessary to install epsons driver, I found out it wont install so used ‘printer-driver-escpr’ in synaptic.
Auto login fails. User is required to select their name from login window even though they are the only account on the machine and have been selected for auto login in mdm. Password is not required but bootup will not proceed until user clicks on his/her name. That is not auto login.
Mint-Y needs a tiny window border or drop shadow. It can be very difficult to distinguish where one window ends and another begins.
mint-tools:
mintlocale: Tried adding support for iBus and FCITX (in Languages > Input Method) -> broken packages
mintlocale: Cannot change default System Locale by Language settings. Thus it can be changed manually by text editor. (file: /etc/default/locale)
mintlocale: Language Settings under System locale -> labels Language and Region seem to be set (probably done by installation procedure). When I changed language to UK English and clicked Apply Sytem-Wide, it got messed up (labels changed to “No locale defined” as already mentioned at Cinnamon). So the problem is most likely with the Apply System-Wide procedure.
Touch screen clicks are not working in the icon and compact view section of Nemo, everywhere else seems fine.
Context menu “Open with>other application…” displays duplicate applications.
I can disable mobile broadband using the switch in network preferences but it does have any effect. Next time I open up network preferences it is enabled again. I guess this could be a upstream problem though.

After I resume from suspend NetworkManager seems to work fine, Wifi connection is maintained, but nm-applet shows Wi-Fi Networks and other things grayed out. Running ‘pkill nm-applet’ and then ‘nm-applet’ fixes this.

In the prefered applications(menu Preferences, “Prefered applications”), Caja isn’t the File manager by default. Must add it manually.
Another NetworkManager bug. Just tried to run the mint 18 MATE live on an old pc in my home and it wouldn’t recognize my Wi-Fi at all. It just looked as if I didn’t have Wi-Fi. Killing and restarting nm-applet didn’t help in this case, so the bug must be deeper. Sadly, this is a bug I’ve read about in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 so again, this might be a bug from upstream. For comparison, I had no problem of this sort when running mint cinnamon 18 live on this pc, and it is running mint Xfce (first 17.2, upgraded to 17.3) for a while and never had this problem.
when changing the appearance to Mint-Y-Dark the background in caja doesn’t change! you have to go to “Edit” -> “Backgrounds and Emblems” and reset it once manually. now it changes every time with the theme.
