Linux Mint 8 Helena KDE Released
The Linux Mint Developers have released Linux Mine 8 KDE Edition which is based on Kubuntu 9.10.
It’s shipped with the Linux Kernel version 2.6.31, Xorg 7.4 and package with KDE 4.3.4 and Amarok 2.2.1.
Known Issues
Because of compatibility issues between wubi/mint4win and grub2, Linux Mint 8 comes without a Windows installer. The development team is working on the issue and new ISOs will be published when it is resolved.
The File Uploader introduced in Linux Mint 8 isn’t working well under KDE. The drop zone doesn’t accept any files. This is an issue we’re trying to fix.
If the sound pops before playing something, you can fix the problem by following these instructions.
If you have more than 3.5GB of RAM, install the linux-generic-pae kernel for your memory to be fully detected and used by the system.
What’s new
Visual improvements: The graphical interface is now easier to use and it shows more content. The layout was changed and by putting the screenshots in the corner of the application you can now see more software and more reviews at once.
A better layout for the Software Manager
Packaged updates: You don’t need to manually refresh the Software Manager anymore. When new data is available you get notified by the Update Manager of a new version of “mintinstall-data”.
APT status: The Software Manager is now aware of the APT status of each application. Among other things, this means you can now see the size and version number of each application and whether they’re installed on your system or not.
Software removal and multiple selection: The Software Manager now allows you to mark multiple applications for installation and/or removal. A new apply button confirms your choices and processes them all at once.
