In particolare vengono segnalati i seguenti bug su Linux Mint 14 Xfce RC
PAE required for 32-bit ISOs
The 32-bit ISOs of Linux Mint 14 use a PAE kernel. If your processor is not compatible with PAE please use Linux Mint 13 Maya LTS instead. Linux Mint 13 is supported until 2017.
AMD Radeon HD 2xxx-4xxx series card
The ATI drivers for these cards are now available in a separate
branch called legacy series. Unfortunately these legacy drivers (version
12.6) have not been updated to work with Xorg 1.13.
If you own one of these cards you can either:
- Use the default Open Source drivers which come with Linux Mint
- Downgrade Xorg and install the Legacy ATI drivers as explained at http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html
Additional drivers
To install additional drivers, please run the “Software Sources”
tool from “Menu->Preferences->Software Sources” and click on the
“Additional Drivers” tab. The tool used in previous versions of Linux
Mint (Jockey) was discontinued upstream in Ubuntu.“Extract Here” in Thunar
A bug in file-roller prevents the “Extract-Here” feature of Thunar
from working properly. The bug was fixed upstream and the issue will be
solved in the stable release.
For more information about this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/978789Mouse Integration in Virtualbox
In Virtualbox, if your mouse cursor jumps unexpectedly click on “Machine->Disable Mouse Integration”.
Moonlight
Moonlight was removed from Linux Mint because of a bug that made
Firefox crash. The bug was fixed upstream and you can install the
Moonlight plugin from the project’s website.Other issues
Linux Mint 14 is based on Ubuntu 12.10. Make sure to read the Ubuntu release notes.
Mint4win
When installing Linux Mint with mint4win, choose loop0 for both the target partition and the grub destination.
CD images
Because of the size of the content, and the fact that a vast
majority of systems nowadays can either boot from DVDs or from USB,
Linux Mint no longer provides images which fit in 700MB CDs. It is
however possible and easy to to modify ISO images. By removing packages
such as Java, Mono, LibreOffice, Gimp..etc.. Linux Mint ISOs can be made
to fit within 700MB. For instructions on how to remaster the Linux Mint
ISOs, please read the following tutorial:http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/918
Local repository and GnomePPP
GnomePPP is not installed by default but it is present within the
default installation of Linux Mint. Your Linux Mint system comes with a
local repository which is disabled by default. You can enable it by
removing the comment sign “#” in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/local-repository.list and refreshing your APT
cache. This repository contains GnomePPP as well as a collection of
drivers.
