New Users / What does the "Graphic interface options" affect ? [SOLVED]

« on: September 13, 2015, 04:57:03 pm »

Another thing, in the (...translate from my French installation)

Appearance personnalisation / Others    -> Graphic interface options : Tools bar style : "Text under, above etc..."  and "Icons style" in tool bar.

I can't see where those effects apply. May be I am dumb, but can anyone point me where to look please ?

Is there a way to change the fonts/fonts size used by the interface and file manager ? Unless I miss the settings somewhere,

Software & Applications / Re: Vitualbox addons on Peppermint 6 nogo

Ok finally I got it going. Remove the "guest addition iso" from the virtual machine. Restart PM6, install addons using the VB menu and this time, it show up in the file manager. Launch the installer and it told me to uninstall the previous extension. I delete the "virtual-guest-dkms" from the repository that I add install and relaunch the new installer. Install went ok. Reboot and this time, it was all good. May be a glitch somewhere.

Thank you all for the very quick help, appreciate.

Software & Applications / Vitualbox addons on Peppermint 6 nogo [SOLVED]

« on: September 13, 2015, 10:26:51 am »

Hi, I just install the new Peppermint 5 iso in virtualbox 5. Work fine but it wont install the guest addons. I tried to have VB install the addons from the interface menu but it says it cannot do it because of permission something ?  I then download directly the addons from the VB site, a DEB file and the installation went fine. Still I cannot resize  the main window. It is stuck at 640x480.
I think that use to be fine on the previous versions.  Any change there ?

General Discussion / Discover PM 6 and it's a pleasant surprise

« on: August 23, 2015, 06:57:54 am »

Hello new to Peppermint. I don't know how I ended up finding PM6 but what a surprise. After running it in vbox, I installed it on an older computer as my main distro. The important features is that it's solid, recognize all hardware flawlessly, is lightweight but has the possibility to add bazillions of programs and addons  from the Ubuntu archives. I am not sure how ICE will be useful for me but I will experiment with it. Very original idea. The only things missing for me is a menu search function. I install synapse but something like that should be present after install. Also a notification utility.  Finally the software archive is pretty slow to open. Beside that it is a terrific and can only growth better from here.
Thanks

P.S this anti-spam thing is the most annoying feature of a forum I have seen. May be use something quicker.
