The Linux Mint Blog

Many thanks to our donors, sponsors and to all the people who support our project.

Cinnamon Menu

Work continued on the Cinnamon menu applet.

Configuration options were added to be able to move the search bar to the bottom:

And to be able to position the system buttons in the sidebar:

Troubleshooting Tools

Despite our best efforts, things don’t always work out of the box, right? 🙂

When troubleshooting issues and finding solutions you don’t only need to find people who are able to help you, you need to be able to give them the information they need to understand your problem and give you the right solution.

The steps involved in troubleshooting a hardware-related issue usually are:

1. Finding the cause of the problem
2. Precisely identifying the device, component or driver
3. Finding out what to do
4. Applying the recommended solution

The community (forums, chat, tutorials, etc..) helps with step 3, but you’re usually on your own with the command line for steps 1, 2 and 4.

We worked on making these steps a little bit easier.

The “System Reports” tool was given a plethora of new features and it was rebranded as “System Information”.

In addition to its “System Information”, “System Reports” and “Crash Reports” pages, the tool received 4 new pages to show you more information and help you troubleshoot common issues.

The “USB” page shows a detailed view of all your plugged-in devices. You can see their type, name and ID (which uniquely identifies the device and its manufacturer).

Devices are grouped by USB controller, so you can see where each device is plugged and compare its connection speed and power usage with the controller’s max connection speed and total power capacity. This makes it easy to troubleshoot common USB issues such as slow transfers or random disconnections.

The “GPU” page shows information about your default graphics card and its support for hardware acceleration:

    

The “PCI” page gives you a detailed look at the internal components of the computer. The PCI ID and the driver in use are very useful when troubleshooting PCI devices.

In the “BIOS” page you can find information about your motherboard, BIOS version, boot mode and secure-boot.

A new tool called “System Administration” was implemented. Although its UI looks similar to the “System Information” tool, its goal is slightly different. This tool runs with admin privileges and focuses on administration.

For the moment it only has one page called “Boot menu”:

At the top you can show or hide the boot menu and set how long it stays visible before booting the default option. This is very useful if you’re dual-booting or if you’re using multiple kernel series.

In the second section you can add boot parameters. This is sometimes needed when dealing with hardware/driver issues.

LMDE 6 EOL

LMDE 6 will reach End of Life on January 1st 2026.

Past that date the repositories will continue to work but the release will no longer receive bug fixes or security updates.

To upgrade the 64-bit version of LMDE 6 to LMDE 7 visit https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4571.

The 32-bit version will unfortunately not be upgradable. Proper support for 32-bit was dropped by many upstream projects (Debian, Ubuntu, Mozilla, Chromium) so we cannot continue to support this architecture anymore.

XSI (XApp Symbolic Icons)

Although adwaita-icon-theme is still a dependency on libgtk, it no longer supports applications outside of GNOME. Some of the symbolic icons it provided were simply removed, leading to regressions in many projects who relied on them. For instance if you are running Cinnamon in LMDE 7 or Arch Linux right now, you can right-click your panel and see missing symbolic icons.

To replace the Adwaita symbolic icons a new XApp project was started called XSI (XApp Symbolic Icons): https://github.com/xapp-project/xapp-symbolic-icons.

All the XApp, Cinnamon and Mint projects switched to XSI.

The team is proud to announce the release of LMDE 7 “Gigi”.

LMDE 7 Gigi

LMDE is a Linux Mint project which stands for “Linux Mint Debian Edition”. Its goal is to ensure Linux Mint would be able to continue to deliver the same user experience, and how much work would be involved, if Ubuntu was ever to disappear. LMDE is also one of our development targets, to guarantee the software we develop is compatible outside of Ubuntu.

LMDE aims to be as similar as possible to Linux Mint, but without using Ubuntu. The package base is provided by Debian instead.

Important info:

The release notes provide important information about known issues, as well as explanations, workarounds and solutions.

Enjoy!

We look forward to receiving your feedback. Thank you for using Linux Mint and have a lot of fun with this new release!

It is now possible to upgrade LMDE 6 to version 7.

First, refresh your cache and install the Upgrade Tool by typing the following commands in a terminal:

apt update
apt install mintupgrade

Then type the following command to launch the Upgrade Tool:

sudo mintupgrade

Follow the instructions on the screen.

When the tool is done and the upgrade is successful uninstall it and reboot your computer.

apt remove mintupgrade
sudo reboot

This is a major upgrade. It can take several hours.

You will be asked to be up to date and to prepare system snapshots. Do not rush, do not take shortcuts.

Don’t hesitate to seek help if you have questions or if you face problems with the upgrade.

Notes:

• If you have other ways of rolling back the upgrade and restoring your system to the way it was before, you can skip the system snapshots requirement by disabling it in the preferences.
• Temporary files are left behind during the upgrade. Please read section 5.1.6 of the Debian 13 release notes for information on this issue and how to remove these files.
• Debian discontinued support for i386 so LMDE 7 is only available in 64-bit. It is not possible to upgrade from LMDE 6 32-bit.
