I'm a Dutch translator for Linux Mint on Launchpad. Where can I translate the official user guide? Not on Launchpad, it seems....

Kihon 8 years ago

Thanks for this but it is out of date and confusing referring to things incorrectly for Mint 17.3.
eg page 21, refers to the places menu and shows a pic of it.
When you choose the 'Places' menu it has the following 5 Places; Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads, however the guide refers to the 'Computer' place which is NOT in the Places menu!
It then immediatley talks about partitions and mounting them etc in a way that only users accustomed to using Linux would undeerstand, yet this is supposed to be a beginners guide but is talking about advanced ideas in the middle of describing how to choose a simple menu!
It then talks about the 'Home' place as one of the Menu buttons you will use most, again there is NO 'Home' menu button in the section it is describing!
So it has referred to a 'Computer' and a 'Home' place in a menu that has the following 5 Places; Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads! Very confusing.
It then talks about the 'System' menu, but where is it, how do you access it?
etc etc.

You guide is great but I'm now looking for something the next step-- beginners using terminal commands. I came across something once and haven't seen it again that was easy to follow. Maybe you have an idea what I'm looking for now.....

This is awesome... a User Gide for LM 17 Cinnamon edition in my native language (dutchà
Thanks!!

penttila 10 years ago

Thanks for having even a User Gide for LM 17 Cinnamon edition.
(http://www.linuxmint.com/documentation/user-guide/Cinnamon/english_17.0.pdf)

I have the following notes on it:

1) It would be nice to mention the exact version of described software (and maybe even the version of the document itself) on the first page .

2) Installation of Linux Mint (page 7). Newbies does not know what liveDVD means, so I would change the following sentence:

The liveDVD is then bootable and provides a fully-functional operating system which you can try without affecting your PC. -->
This DVD is then bootable and provides a fully-functional operating system which you can run on your PC. It is a so called liveDVD which can be used for trial without affecting your disk.

Please also change somewhat bellow:
If you like what you see when running the liveDVD you can decide to install the system
to your hard drive. -->
If you like what you see when running this liveDVD you can decide to install the system
to your hard drive from a desktop icon.

(Earlier it was not clear for me, how to install a liveDVD and thought I will need a different ISO for installation!)

3) The “Introduction to the Desktop” chapter describes how to “Getting to know the menu”, but there is neither “System menu” (page 22), “Package Manager button” (page 24) nor “Applications menu” (page 27) on the installed software.

4) On page 43-44 it is explained how to copy and paste just with selecting the text and pasting it with a middle mouse click using the “mouse buffer”. It doesn't work for me in the way you described with LibreOffice.
The sentence „Now click on some other part of the document to move the cursor there ...” is incorrect. You shouldn't click, just move the cursor (without clicking) above the new place and than paste it with the middle mouse click.

(some of these notes may apply for other editions of User manual)

Good for a very basic starting point.

A good basic guide but not totally relavent to my version, a shame.

JohnYate 10 years ago

I have installed LinuxMint 16 Xfce 64 bit on my AMD sempron 64-bit processor desktop machine, which it runs only flakily, despite only having this installation of Linux using its 3GB of memory and 500 GB hard drive. The Guide (which is for version 15, but that's all we English-speakers are allowed) offers no help with the following:
Please can you tell me how I can exit from the displayimage-melting screen saver. I've tried no end of keystroke combinations. My current best-bet is to press the big red "Reset" hardware interrupt button on the case of my desktop PC for an instant reboot - luckily my machine has got one! This is not a particularly productivity-enhancing option and courts software and data corruption.

Found this user guide two days after installing Linux Mint 14 alongside Windows 7 and 8. I had no problems at all with the installation. I just wish that I've read this earlier. Making my way around the system was all good but I'm still a noob when it comes to coding though.

tamiflew 12 years ago

Good as the guide is, when a newbie like me has rashly decided to remove Microsoft Windows and start again, what I really needed was a step by step guide with screenshots to get me off the ground. Despite grubbing around websites and youtube, getting simple but high quality information proved difficult.

Thank you. It is written in very simple and easy to understand language.

Can you please add info about double and triple boot and the number of partitions that are needed to install mint.

I hope this should be in the scope of Mint guide.

Can0dope 13 years ago

Any chance the guide might be updated to include the different versions? I have LXDE and this guide only pertains to the Main version. I'm a noob to Linux, and completely loving it. I would like to learn more about the particular version that I am running though.

What do you think about that?

Thanks a lot to all :-)

theoldman 13 years ago

Look I just wanted an answer to a simple question, using an ACER wide-screen.
(15.6) laptop all I get after the install process installs is the initial splash screen and then the screen goes black. The disk is running and I can hear stuff going on, but no video? This is probably the wrong place to get some simple info but like most of you guys I've got to jump through hoops
(what with registering and navigating around to try and get a SIMPLE answer)
I'm expecting to get one of those RTFM answers to boot.

Hey all. I'm coming over from using a dual boot with Windows XP and Mandriva 10. My question is this: I'm turfing Mandriva and can anyone tell me how to install MINT in the partition used by Mandiva while not affecting the Windows parition? I don't know enough to recognize the Mandriva partition straight off. Thanks in advance. BC (aka sandwichbay)

New to Linux. Using a full install of Julia on what was a 2 year old Vista laptop. Love it so much I installed Isadora on my netbook via Unetbootin last night and it also was a seamless process. I am head over heels a Linux man now. Still have one Vista desktop in the house as well as an XP desk and a Macbook Pro. I hope to have all the windows machines converted by summer as I build my knowledge base.

Clem:

There's a slight error on page 47, paragraph 1 that needs to be addressed.

"Now click on some other part of the document to move the cursor there..."

The mouse buffer will not work in OpenOffice Writer and GEdit once the text loses its highlighting by clicking on another part of the document.

kneekoo 14 years ago

It would be interesting if the Mint handbook could be published in HTML with anchors, so people can easily point to specific parts of the manual. I might give it a shot after we translate the manual to Romanian, in our national community. :)

Hi Clem,
In the table of contents above, would it be possible to make the items live so clicking on them would take you to the relevant section of the guide? (Just like the index works in the PDF version of the Guide.)
