Recently Linux Mint Group have Declared about there first Released of LinuxMint 4.0 Daryna KDE Community Edition. In the below I am describing all of about this Release.
Introduction
This is the first BETA release of Linux Mint 4.0 KDE CE,
codename Daryna, based on Celena KDE CE and
compatible with Ubuntu Gutsy and
its repositories.
Daryna KDE is not as minty as the main edition but it is
mintier than Cassandra KDE. The packages are (safely) up to date and the kernel
is the Gutsy Gibbon kernel 2.6.22-14.
Mint applications:
- mintInstall
- mintUpdate (new)
- mintAssistant (new)
Minted versions of:
- Firefox
- Sunbird
See the main release notes for info and pictures about the
mint applications.
For those of you out there who only have a CD burner or only
a CD-ROM there will be a Daryna miniKDE CE when the final release is ready.
We hope you all like the new Daryna Mint KDE CE. So what are
you waiting for? Get testing!
Known issuses in Daryna KDE
When shutting down or restarting the live CD it will freeze
at least 50% of the time at the last step. I had this problem with Gutsy too
and have not found a fix for it.
Large screen monitors (eg Dell 24 inch) can be a bit scary
to setup. The Live CD works and install works, and your newly installed system
works. If your screen goes to power save mode or no signal mode during
boot/login, just move your mouse to wake it up again. Nvidia card setup: to use
envy first edit your xorg.conf file and change the “nv” driver to “nvidia”. Run
envy and install the nvidia driver, DO NOT let it modify your xorg.conf file.
Strange things can happen to your screen and you may need to reset your
computer. For this reason you may want to be in a console session to setup your
nvidia card and run “sudo envy -t” from the command line to be safe
