On reboot, the UUID is gone and the swap partition cannot be found anymore. The offset should fix that problem. ubiquity: select fastest repositories based on location check if libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a should be installed (reported missing in Cinnamon 17.1 32-bit). Missing lib creates problems for VMware Player (missing menus) and changing Themes. integrate nemo-preview ship with nemo extensions, disable them by default (using overrides) restore menubar in terminals MATE/Xfce: provide QT5 override in /etc/X11/Xsession.d to make it use GTK style add LP PPA to list of 700 priorities bashrc: # colored GCC warnings and errors --> export GCC_COLORS='error=01;31:warning=01;35:note=01;36:caret=01;32:locus=01:quote=01' (won't work until gcc 4.9) apt memory fix: APT::Cache-Start "104857600"; https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753941 or apply patch http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/commit?id=4ea471ecb013d188d03a5c3efb9b21e58ef56065 add orca (might have to hide its menu item) mdm: onscreen keyboard mdmflexiserver: in MATE (on a computer with cinnamon installed), mdmflexiserver launches cinnamon-screensaver instead of mate-screensaver apps: vlc: upgrade to 2.2.

When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor. hovering over notifications which have buttons/widgets should not dim them ... brightness and keyboard brightness OSDs not consistent with sound volume OSD hidpi issues: Windows previews are nice but they are too small (not sure if this is only on HiDPI) – is there a way to make them bigger? Top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280) When HiDPI is off, logging in for the first time after comp startup happens within 1-3 seconds. With HiDPI it takes a clear 5-10 seconds. Is there a way to speed this up? mate: alt-tab thumbs cost perf.. caja: clicking on home [compact view] in sidebar then on filesystem [icon view], back and forth, eventually dir names disappear make transitional packages for: mate-dialogs -> zenity mate-calc -> gcaltool mate-system-tools -> gnome-system-tools md5sum action, open-as-root, open-terminal? xfce: the xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin is not installed through the meta-package exo-utils can't open paths with special chars in them: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=202069 replace thunar with filemanager in panel: http://i.imgur.com/h6ftheB.png kde: mint kde 17.2 with asus ux303LA.
