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.” spices: it’s probably individual extension fault but clicking on Configure in Cinnamon settings/Extensions for Coverflow Alt-Tab extension does nothing
Onscreen keyboard activates when clicking the menu on the panel spices: removing extensions, themes, desklets, applets is only possible using right click (maybe it would be better to have button for that in future relases)
the update manager loads at startup even after it has been removed from the startup list spices: I fired up Cinnamon Settings after a fresh install and decided to try out a number of my favourite desktop toys, but many of them cause crashes and hangs when attempting to use them because they haven’t been updated alongside the new desktop. ClockTow for example, froze my desktop entirely. Is there a way to ensure that the user can only download certified 2.0 applets and desklets etc, to avoid any problems? I personally don’t feel these extensions and suchlike should be available and visible to the end user if they can cause problems.
the network manager hasn’t any ability to add ADSL connection. From the pop-up list i can chose vpn only. https://bugs.launchpad.net/community.linuxmint.com/+bug/1251530 When you open network manager – standing in wired – click on options – then you seeing window “Editing wired”, but if you don’t close this window and click on “options” one more – it will be opened another window “Network connections”. Where i was able to set my dsl settings. But, in LM 16 it doesn’t work, the second window with “Network connections” doesn’t appear. muffin: There seems to be a tiny 1 pixel frame around windows that prevents the rightmost pixel of the right scroll bar from being clickable. For example LM15: open Nemo, go to a folder with a lot of files like /usr/bin/, throw the mouse cursor all the way to the right edge of the screen and click on the scrollbar = windows scrolls. LM16 doing the same thing will cause the scrollbar to do nothing until you move the mouse cursor a pixel to the left. An easy way to see the comparison in LM16 is to install chromium and change (settings) > (appearance) > (use system title bar and borders), using system borders will cause the rightmost pixel to be unclickable.
menu requires Logout/restart before new application links are displayed. muffin: when emptying trash from right click menu on Trash icon, dialog for confirmation was always showing snapped to the right side of screen, after restart was ok
installing nemo-dropbox sends cinnamon into meltdown. If you restart Cinnamon afterwards, or log out and back in, or reboot, Cinnamon crashes, and resorts to software rendering permananently. It just won’t restart. Uninstalling nemo-dropbox, sets things back to normal again, and cinnamon works fine. cinnamon: Having links of files/folders on desktop from another hardrive at startup, then mounting the drive will usually crash then restart Cinnamon

when emptying trash from right click menu on Trash icon, dialog for confirmation was always showing snapped to the right side of screen, after restart was ok nemo: could not install nemo-dropbox. downloads, displays “100%”, hangs. I was able to install dropbox from dropbox.com
Alt-Tab Icons and Window preview – black background has bad gradient (seems to happen only when using external monitor) nemo: if I press ALT+F2 and then enter “nemo ftp://ftp.mydomain.xyz” to access to my personal ftp server trough nemo, I’ll get a request of username and password: it’s OK. The problem is that if I select the option to remember forever the username and password, it will not have effect: if I reboot Linux Mint, the next time I’ll try to access my ftp trough nemo I’ll get the request of username e password. So… nemo doesn’t remember my credentials… it’s frustrating.

The cursor can be scrolled way past the right border of the screen. On the left side, it stops at the edge. translations: There are a few issues with the translations (Danish, which is 100% translated): - In System Settings “Date & Time” is in English – In “Date & Time” the months are in English as well - If I go to Menu/Administration there is a “program” called “Logind-skærm”. However, if I go to System Settings the same “program” is called “Login-skærm”. I can only find one translation of “Login Screen” in Cinnamon in Launchpad and that is “Login-skærm”, so where does this “Logind-skærm” come from? Also, the tab names are in English.
Set folders to open each in their own window. Open a folder that has several sub-folders. Lasso two or more sub-folders in that window. Right-click and choose Open. Poof! apps/drivers: Shotwell goes to /usr/share/menu, but that doesn’t get it immediately shown or shown at all in the menu, without manual intervention.

Using the keyboard brightness adjuster causes cinnamon to crash, then restart and use a different resolution. (Acer Aspire 5742G)
I open the list of downloadable applets, the “more info” link for each applet is not clickable (this should be fixed).
If I double click on an applet name, nothing happens.
If I select the radio box to choose an applet and then I’ll click the button to install it, the applet is installed but it’s not active: maybe a new user expects to have it immediately in the panel after the download… in fact forcing the user to come back in the list of the installed applet to enable the just downloaded applet is not user friendly, in my opinion.
Mint Splash screen is not appearing, and seems to be defaulting to the Ubuntu 13.10 splash screen.
The Mint logo/icon that should appear next to the “Start” menu disappeared from the panel after the first reboot.

The sound applet does not close Banshee by clicking on the close icon.
if I press ALT+F2 and then enter “nemo ftp://ftp.mydomain.xyz” to access to my personal ftp server trough nemo, I’ll get a request of username and password: it’s OK. The problem is that if I select the option to remember forever the username and password, it will not have effect: if I reboot Linux Mint, the next time I’ll try to access my ftp trough nemo I’ll get the request of username e password. So… nemo doesn’t remember my credentials… it’s frustrating.
I fired up Cinnamon Settings after a fresh install and decided to try out a number of my favourite desktop toys, but many of them cause crashes and hangs when attempting to use them because they haven’t been updated alongside the new desktop. ClockTow for example, froze my desktop entirely. Is there a way to ensure that the user can only download certified 2.0 applets and desklets etc, to avoid any problems? I personally don’t feel these extensions and suchlike should be available and visible to the end user if they can cause problems.
When I press Super_L (Windows key) to open the mint-menu, the menu opens, but the overview of workspaces (which should actually open via Ctrl+Alt+Up and does this, too) opens, too. So it is not possible to enter something into the menus search field. I already checked thed the shortcut for the workspace overview in the cinnamon settings, but there is only Ctrl+Alt+Up written.
The spacing in the Nemo side bar between the folders such as Downloads, Documents etc seems to be a bit small.
There are a few issues with the translations (Danish, which is 100% translated): - In System Settings “Date & Time” is in English – In “Date & Time” the months are in English as well - If I go to Menu/Administration there is a “program” called “Logind-skærm”. However, if I go to System Settings the same “program” is called “Login-skærm”. I can only find one translation of “Login Screen” in Cinnamon in Launchpad and that is “Login-skærm”, so where does this “Logind-skærm” come from? Also, the tab names are in English.
Running Mint in a Virtualbox here. Videos played in VLC are monochrome when GPU enabled and black when it’s disabled. GPU is Nvidia GTX650Ti. No problems with Mint 13 under the same conditions.

Netflix will not load in Mint 16. I am using Cinnamon by the way. It works great in Mint 15, but when I try to open it in Mint 16, it doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t give me an error message, it doesn’t open, nothing. It appears that Gecko isn’t installed and when I try to install it manually by following suggestions from the Ubuntu forums, it doesn’t work.
Problems with gnome15.org drivers. (Application does not start after installation – worked with Mint 15 (regressions?))
Shotwell goes to /usr/share/menu, but that doesn’t get it immediately shown or shown at all in the menu, without manual intervention.

spices: If I select the radio box to choose an applet and then I’ll click the button to install it, the applet is installed but it’s not active: maybe a new user expects to have it immediately in the panel after the download… in fact forcing the user to come back in the list of the installed applet to enable the just downloaded applet is not user friendly, in my opinion.
