Fixed Issues since Mint 16 RC
All editions
Cinnamon Edition
MATE Edition
Confirmed Issues
System
apturl/firefox: apturl missing support in Firefox
Shutdown sequence in live-session is all black
cinnamon: inserting an Audio CD suggests Brasero and VLC, not Banshee
libdvdcss2: DVD Playback doesn't work with new gstreamer: The stream is in the wrong format (using Totem).. works with VLC
mint4win: can't find CD (using autorun)
mint4win: shows version 14 instead of 16
banshee: tries to rip a CD to FLAC by default
mintdesktop/mintsystem: port mintfortune to filesystem flag and away from gsettings
brasero: Brasero Wont open after burning a disk
Update all translations
Mint Tools
mintstick: progress bar isn't fixed yet
mintdrivers: doesn't apply ATI icon to "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]: Wrestler [Radeon HD 6290]"
Cinnamon
nemo: Use sudo/gksu/gksudo to "open as root" instead of pkexec? to work around the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR bug?
User applet: name/pic are centered, should be left-aligned (shows with small gecos)
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)
Calendar applet should link to "cinnamon-settings calendar"
Changing default applications does nothing
When a maximized window is minimized, and you activate the hot corner or expo, it makes a split second glitch view of that window
The mint logo is a bitmap(png) and is blurry when the panel is resized, it should be svg
Mounted disks shouldest show by default one the desktop?
Cannot Middle click most toolbar items in Nemo
Copying large files (< 200mb), nemo reports 99% the whole time.
Changing Wallpaper sometimes freezes cinnamon
Moving applets in cinnamon panel edit mode on, glitches out systray icons when it is shifted
mint-themes-gtk3: nemo sidebar buttons are too large
Account details is in the appearance section of the control center…I would have thought it would be in preferences or administration.
MATE
mate: Use generic names in MATE packages
mintmenu: category didn't appear (M64), did when clicked "Reload plugins"
mintmenu: show duplicates when item is in multiple categories (LibreOffice, gnome-disks)
mintmenu: pull requests
KDE
rel_notes: Add samba-mounter to new features page for KDE
ubiquity: clicking on "Release notes" link opens an error dialog saying "can't launch Firefox"
mintstick KDE action shows also for DVD and floppy disks
Xfce
VLC missing
De-scoped
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)
GTK3: dialogs use symbolic icons (offending code is in GTK3, won't fix. Small issue but linked to GTK3 becoming a GNOME Shell specific toolkit.)
GTK3: No padding in context menu leads to accidental operations (bug reported upstream in GTK3, temp workaround/fix unlikely/tedious)
GNOME: gnome-calculator menubar (minor cosmestic issue, won't fix)
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).
MP3 online doesn't work (known limitation with totem)
New Bug Reports
All editions
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
synaptic: Synaptic issues: [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1178024 [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1135687 [3] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgksu/+bug/1216045 [4] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1135687/comments/6
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 Edition - last processed comment: #62
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

nm-applet crashed, stopped working
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.
Triaged Reports
Not a bug
Git is not installed by default
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)
Outside of the scope
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.
Cinnamon Regional settings is completely broken/useless/unintuitive, redesign from scratch in 2.2
Not enough info / Can't reproduce
On/Off switch for networking applet is visually glitchy
No login screen has no where to put in login information. Background, works.
Sometimes the ethernet network connection is lost without any evident reason.
Cinnamon Settings is advanced mode by default always
