Fixed Issues since Linux Mint 19 BETA
Fixed Issues since Linux Mint 19.1 BETA
All editions

artwork:
- mint-x:
- no icons in Online accounts > Information about Gnome online accounts -> Gnome Contacts, Gnome Documents, Gnome Maps and Gnome Photos
- visual glitches in mate-screensaver-preferences in the left pane (list of screensavers). Just move the mouse over that pane back and forth, without clicking. Doesn't happen with Mint-Y.
- transparent menubar in mate-terminal
- start-here-symbolic.svg missing
- improve status icons: nm-signal-, volume-audio-, power icons
- mint-y:
- thunderbird icon isn't the same as its flatpak
- in nemo additional pane, select a folder in the left page, click in the right pane. The selected folder in the left pane is white on grey, almost invisible.
- video and subtitle icons are too similar
- .deb icon
- filesystem icon looks like an ipod (in thunar, when small enough)
- with adwaita, missing icons for Settings/Seting Language, Accessories/USB Format, Accessories/USB Write Image
- ubiquity: click rel notes, nothing happens
- The fortune command says 'no fortunes found' -> leftover, fortune is now removed.
- gdebi doesn't install packages unless it's run from the terminal
- ia32-libs: depends on libesd0:i386 which is gone
- libreoffice-base can't open databases
- mint-common: uninstalling flatpak from menu doesn't work (tried with VLC)
- ms ttf fonts says it is installed but when i go to fonts to use arial black there are no fonts i fixed this by uninstalling from software manager reboot and reinstalling them then reboot then it works i like my arial black and 1 of the few reasons i use lm verses all other distros -> made it a manual install
- intel-microcode is missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1758689
- remove vino (upstream made vino useless outside of GNOME)
- GTK file chooser: org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first should be true
- xreader crash when opening certain documents
- mintinstall: launch button should be highlighted blue or green.
- spotify depends on libcurl3
- blueberry won't launch in VM: "bt-adapter -i" hangs and then segfaults
- Bash completion doesn't work with all apt commands https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsystem/issues/73
- xplayer: 'Fit Window to Movie' does not work.
- machine will not hibernate, (either from the power button (the hibernate option is selected) or from the exit menu) the screen blanks for a couple of seconds then returns to the session) -> pm-hibernate fails, that's upstream. We were forcing the hibernation option to be present though, and that was fixed.
mintupdate:
- I choosed the new «Auto-upgrade», but it did not start until I made /etc/cron.daily/mintupdate executable.
- On first time use, the preferences section “jumps” on the screen.
- mint-update-pkgcache errors are reported after 60s timeout
- conflicts with VM guest pkgs... installing them removes mintupdate (and mintwelcome)
- refreshing the mintinstall cache slows down checkAPT
- https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupdate/issues/362
mintbackup:
- restore packages with buggy names -> error, instead of ignoring buggy names
- restore a package list, Uncheck some packages, Apply. Expected : only selected packages are installed. Observed : all packages are installed, including unchecked ones
login screen:
- text cursor doesn't appear
- doesn't notify that caps lock is active
mime:
- Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.font-viewer.desktop": "font/ttf" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
- Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.font-viewer.desktop": "font/otf" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type
timeshift:
- /swapfile should be excluded
- wizard, the tooltip incorrectly states "Create snapshots using RSYNC" when you hover over BTRFS?
- Users tab, the headings for the radio buttons are named "Exclude Apps", "Include Hidden Items" and (once again) "Exclude Apps".
Cinnamon Edition
----------------
- When I edit an application in “Startup Applications”, and it has a delay, the seconds unit “s” disappears.
- cinnamon settings startup, edit item with no delay, save -> python exception
- cinnamon fallback -> muffin_no_shadows=1
- skype systray duplicated: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/7588
- cmenu: doesn't show some newly installed apps (slack-desktop, ppa:4kvideodownloader, pysolfc), others show up just fine (filezilla, ppa:qbittorrent, ppa:woeusb).
- Wireless not showing in Network Manager even though it appears in Network Manager Settings.
- goa: ubuntu SSO isn't functional -> it won't work without snapd, and it's useless for anything else. Ubuntu non-gnome users auth in snapd CLI anyway, so this should be removed. We don't need it, it's not necessary and it won't work OOTB.
- desklets: I found a little bug in the Desklet “Analog Chronometer”. I can not call the settings when I have downloaded and switched on the Chronometer.
- When trying to (samba) share a folder in nemo, i have an option to install samba, but it fails to install. After installing samba from packetmanager it works.
- csd-power: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-settings-daemon/issues/209
- With panel set to “smart hide”: if panel was never hidden since the beginning of the session, the status of mintupdate is working as expected. Once panel is hidden (by maximizing a window) the mintupdate tray icon remains static for the rest of the session.
- nm applet resets to 0%
MATE Edition
------------
hidpi:
- blurry titlebar buttons
- grey tooltips
- mintlocale im has no window icon
- mintlocale has no window icon
- hide compton menuitem
- onboard isn't selected as a preferred apps
- mintmenu spamming the logs
- When I want to shut down, the dialog offers «Hibernate» (which I never tried, because it could not work with a small swap-file). But when I first log out and login as another user, the computer remembers that there is an file /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla, which disable the hibernation. Afterwards the quit-dialog will never show to hibernate until reboot. I did not noticed this effect on Ubuntu Mate 18.04 on the same machine (hibernation is still disabled).
Xfce Edition
------------
- xfburn removed
- mintdesktop shows a sidepanel with only one item in it
- Touchpad tap would not work until I installed synaptics touchpad -> synaptics added to Xfce edition
- changing sound volume via hotkey shows two on-screen-displays
- After switching to a guest session and back to my session, the wifi indicator appeared twice in the notification area.
- applet icons are too big
- Suspend worked, but would not ask for my password. I set screen lock in power manager, which I think fixed this in the past, but then it would not suspend at all.
Manual steps for upgraders
--------------------------
apt install libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb sessioninstaller
apt remove fortune-mod
in Xfce:
apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
remove/reinstall mint-meta-codecs
edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf
remove plka

mintdriver:
After a standard install, I ran Driver Manager and chose to change from the default nouveau driver to the nvidia-590 driver. Rebooted and all good.
I then switched back to the nouveau driver, and rebooted.
When I now go into Driver Manager, it says I have manually installed a driver and it will not allow me to select either the nouveau or nvidia-590 driver.

Not a bug
---------
- The quick filter is missing in synaptic -> install apt-xapian-index to add it. This is left out by default as it is known to slow down the OS for some people (https://bugs.launchpad.net/apt/+bug/363695, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian-index/+bug/655831)
- mintdrivers: The text in “Authenticate” window that comes up when i click on Driver Manager is not fully translated. I’m using it with PT-BR language. The only thing that is translated is the bold text that appears above the explanation text. Buttons, window title, explanation text and “Password” are not. -> missing language packs, use mintlocale to add them.
- update manager toolbar is too big
- Installing in VirtualBox give error “Running in software rendering mode” -> there's no acceleration by default in virtualbox, this is Cinnamon warning the user about this.
- xfce: can’t see the share remote desktop. I went to menu/preferences but then no desktop sharing was there.
- slick doesn't have a flashing cursor in its entry box, giving the impression that the entry isn't focused.
- mint-y-dark (and dark variants of light themes): xed right margin is barely visible, current line highlighting is grey on top of grey. -> this isn't part of the GTK theme, it's part of the selected Xed style scheme.
- Booted from the LM19 live CD (linuxmint-19-mate-32bit-beta.iso), installed smplayer (%sudo apt-get install --install-recommends smplayer).
Marco: smplayer displays .flv and .mp4 videos correctly.
Marco Compositing: smplayer displays .flv and .mp4 videos as described previously.
Marco Compton: smplayer displays .flv and .mp4 videos as described previously.
Metacity: smplayer displays .flv and .mp4 videos correctly.
Metacity Compositing: smplayer displays .flv and .mp4 videos as described previously.
Metacity Compton: smplayer displays .flv and .mp4 videos as described previously.
Compiz: smplayer displays .flv and .mp4 videos correctly.
AOpen MX4SG-4DN motherboard, Intel 865G Graphics Memory Controller Hub.
xplayer segfaults in all cases above ^^
--> could be caused by the clutter-gst backend. A stack trace would be needed to idenfity a bug here.
Outside of the scope
--------------------
- i can not read video like mpeg or mp4 (with ubuntu mate 18.04 live or xubuntu 18.04 live, i can, now mp3 and mp4 codec is public domain) -> if it's libav we're talking about, there is still are grey areas when it comes to patents. It's ok for small distros to take that risk. We should be more careful than them though. We also made the codecs installation really easy, so other than the live use case, this isn't an urgent issue.
- xfce: After installing Opera Browser, on first opening after login, I keep getting the message “The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer”. Then it asks for my password (solution is to autostart gnome-keyring-daemon -r)
- Using a live boot session in VirtualBox no longer allows copy-and-paste between the host and the Linux Mint live boot session, and resizing the VirtualBox window for that session does not resize Linux Mint within that session. -> virtualbox guest additions (from Oracle) need to be installed
- Cinnamon setting to disable the touch pad while typing does not work, which makes typing on the laptop pretty annoying. -> provided for synaptics driver.
- mintinstall (live mode): Software Manager-Games-All only shows 0Ad-Edgar i.e. it does not show the games beginning with later letters E-Z that can be found through the more detailed searches, e.g. Software Manager-Games-Simulation and Racing-Torcs --> appstream can't work in live mode, the cache isn't full and mintinstall probably doesn't know about the score of each app. Only 200 apps are shown, usually by order of popularity, but here since it's not possible, by alphabetical order.
- mintinstall: does only wait and not warn if synaptic is open.
- In the file-manager the number of emblems has been reduced. It takes some effort to create extra ones. It would be great to have an application that automates this process (Else you have to use gimp and put the result with the right name in the proper folder).
- panel date and time item is set as bitstream vera fonts, but bitstream vera fonts not installed
- MATE screen goes blank during the install despite all screensaver/power management being turned OFF. Post-install, with everything OFF again, screensaver/power management are disabled properly. -> mate-screensaver is killed by ubiquity to ensure the screen doesn't get locked.
Can't reproduce
---------------
- remove ureadahead? faster boot? -> empirical?
- USB doesn't boot in BIOS mode
- When installing to internal 16GB SSD and with option “Something else” using the whole SSD for mountpoint root, installation always hangs in both XFCE 64 and Cinnamon 64. Ubuntu 18.04 installer with same options has no problem. -> journalctl info not provided
- slick greeter: On a VirtualBox setup with three users, if any user but the first is auto given focus, the username is present but the box only has half height, cut off with no password entry lower half. You can type where that password entry half of the box would be , and it works, but the characters don't show, so it's a visual display problem, only apparently happening on boot.
cinnamon:
- backgrounds: On the left pane, you can’t select “Pictures” folder by clicking, you need to use the keyboard – Down key..
- cinnamon: I disabled the option to block the screen in every case. This works when the screensaver is activated automatically by time. But when I close the lid, It blocks the screen and asks the password when I open.
- menu-editor: when adding new Menu items to the Menu, The Icon’s won’t save.
- After log-out & log-in back, the update manager icon stays there but nothing happens when you left or right click on it..
- On Vivaldi when I full screen a youtube video, the dashboard always remains displayed. Same on Firefox.
- power: No way to set brightness for battery VS AC power.
- Can't delete a user. Delete button doesn't delete.
- Effects "Unmaximize Window" behavior does not change with change in settings regardless of effect type or time setting.
- After the updates last night I am no longer able to drag maximized windows bu the title bar in Cinnamon. To clarify the drag of maximized windows, Firefox and Nemo will not drag when maximized, Thunderbird will drag when maximized
- steam has to be exited twice from systray
- Using Vivaldi (1.15.1147.42 (Stable channel) (64-bit)) I downloaded a picture (jpg) from Facebook to my desktop. The download created a file (filename).jpg.crdownload. Once the picture was downloaded completely this file remained on my desktop. I can select it and check its properties, but I cannot delete it. I get an error message saying that the object does not exist. -> could be inotify not working?
- xplayer: In some videos with subtitles, Xplayer does not show them, even if I select them in the menu. It happened to me in a .mkv file, but I do not know if it happens in other types of files. In these cases, I use VLC.
- xplayer: In fullscreen mode, it starts misbehaving after a while. Video freezes/goes black, sound is still there. Keyboard is lost. Mouse pointer moves, but no action can be taken. Reset button on box only option.
- mint-x: no icon when the update manager cannot connect to the server
- auto-login from installer doesn't work?
- can't access Google login page from GOA
- When trying to start xed as root it takes approx. 20 seconds for the xed window to display while displays it at once.
- can’t add any PPA (Xfce)
- No pressure sensitivity in Krita. Ugee 2150 graphics display pen not seen as mouse -> probably down to synaptics missing, user didn't confirm.
- can't install google chrome
- appimage: When I download Molotov.Appimage and try to launch the file it fails. The same installation with Mint Cinnamon version 18.3 runs perfectly on my both laptops. -> chmod the file, and run it.. works perfectly.
- Anydesk. Shortcut saved connection on desktop will not launch. Gives ' There was an error launching the application'. From within anydesk it starts normal.
- In the default theme, approximately one pixel of the taskbar near the edge of the screen cannot properly select and switch the task list.
- Mint-Y showing incorrect icons in check-boxes. Example: Nemo Preferences, select "Show advanced permissions in the file property dialogue". Now view the properties of a directory containing files. Initially, the file permissions will show [-] (correct). But clicking to change permissions results in [ ] -> [🗸] -> [🗸] (blank, check, check). The dash never shows up again leading one to think they enabled the permission, which they didn't.
- not possible to turn bluetooth OFF completely -> systray in blueberry can be disabled. device rfkill state is handled by systemd
- First time Timeshift was used the Warning and Disclaimer text sections appeared blank (image link), next use the fields were populated. http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=61509d64959391182648fdff247804e6
- NTFS pen drive is not mounting
- Custom actions created with Caja Actions are not appearing in Caja's context menu, whereas they did in Mint 18.3. Is there some reason this might be occurring? -> just needs caja to be restarted
mate:
- Windows Manager Metacity+Compton puts red line around app window
Upstream
--------
- clementine: mint-y, huge icons -> applications-internet and media-optical look OK in the theme, provided in all sizes. They're PNG as opposed to SVG for action icons, but that shouldn't matter.
mate:
- Sticky Notes double click doesnt highlight https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-applets/issues/260
- preferred apps: caja, orca aren't selected
cinnamon:
- The dropbox icon in the bottom right bar is too small. -> for dropbox to fix
- The Telegram icon in the bottom right bar is too small. -> for telegram to fix
ubuntu:
- wine doesn't work
- wifi dongle rtl8192eu is not being recognized, but the generic rtl8xxxu-driver is being loaded instead yielding a 1mbs connection speed
- Despite installing open-vm-tools-desktop window resizing does not work
- gnome-terminal: Just installed it with Hebrew as the system language and there’s something really weird with the fonts on the terminal. https://imgur.com/a/OHjoBu8
- When using RTL language (in this case Hebrew) in the right click menu on the window header the icons and check boxes go over the text. https://imgur.com/a/fISEJJA
- there is no country named Czechia. Adding another language keyboard layout, selecting COUNTRY, i found name Czechia in the list.
- During installation, having selected "Something else", I chose my root partition and changed it to ext4; format; /. Once finished, a window entitled "Write previous changes to disk and continue?" appeared with the text "Before you can select a new partition size...". At no point did I select a new partition size. Hitting "Go Back" got rid of the message and a look at the list of partitions showed that the new info for that root partition was good, so that "new partition size" window appears both incorrect and unnecessary in that situation. I've experienced this twice during two installations.
- xed admin:///etc/fstab asks for password twice -> happens with gedit as well, must be an issue with admin:// or pkexec.
- screen reader reads too fast
- systemd-udev cause high cpu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/1767968?comments=all
- Shutdown takes forever: “A stop job is running for Cryptography Setup for cryptoswap1” takes over 5 minutes
- Boot hangs 1 minute with “gave up waiting for suspend/resume device”, there seems to be a wrong uuid for resume in initramfs. Temporarily solution is here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1013830/slow-boot-long-kernel-load-time-due-to-wrong-resume-device https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1768230
xfce:
- system-load-plugin: The switch that enables clicking on the system load monitor to open the task manager is greyed out and in the off position whether or it is turned on or off.
- quicklauncher plugin: The properties window is in French.
- clock plugin: empty clock in panel after editing preferences.
