    Scrolling between tabs dont lag anymore. I also noticed that when i create a file and rename it the last number does show now (like it supposed to do). I always had this Miche when i actually typed Michel (last number was gone unless i pressed enter). Menu's runs much faster now, unbelievable what nvidia can f**k up ... i almost gave up on linux because i tought the lags and slow downs were related to linux bugs. Tried many debian based distro's and all had the same (except with elemanatary os).


    Only thing i hope now is that the system does not freeze anymore, maybe it was always related to that gpu clock speed in mint 17 :g:

    Is there a SVF patch available for linux mint 17 (cinnamon) x64 to 17.1 (cinnamon) x64? I am a noob in this aspect, so kindly spare me the harsh words if this sounds stupid.

    Looks like NVIDIA has fixed this issue, I talked alot with a person on the nvidia live chat and decribed the problem as clear as possible. It looks like they have fixed this issue in their newest driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.35), will try it when i reinstall a new linux distro :)


    •Added the ability to increase the operating voltage on certain GeForce GPUs in the GeForce GTX 400 series and later. Voltage adjustments are done at the user's own risk. See the documentation on the "CoolBits" X configuration option in the README for details.

    Using Cinnamon is fun... some quirks, I cant get VPN (pptp) working from the gnome-panel.. It keeps on asking for 'Import File' for some reason. Previous versions worked

    Linux Mint 17.2 codenamed ‘Rafaela’

    The second 17.x point release will be Linux Mint 17.2 codename ‘Rafaela’.

    Rafaela is a feminine form of Raphael, which is of Hebrew origin and which meaning is “God has healed”.

    The name Raphael is attested as far back as c. 1350 BCE. It was made popular by many illustrious characters and historical figures:

    - An archangel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
    - An Italian master painter and architect in the High Renaissance
    - A Spanish tennis player
    - A Ninja Turtle :)

    Linux Mint 17 and Linux Mint 17.1 users will have the choice to upgrade or not, and that upgrade will be both easy and safe.

    All ubuntu based distro's have issues, they should fix those problems first. The most annoying issue is the random screen freezing. No matter if you have AMD or NVIDIA it just happens. With arch linux and manjaro i never had 1 single freeze.

    NB: It's in the romeo repo. Probably best to wait for LM 17.3

    Thanx Skaendo...


    From what I have read, there are some nice improvements in this release particularly regarding Nvidia drivers.

    BTW: what happened to our news hound, Paiva? Was expecting him to bring the juice...:p

    I hope that the nVidia situation gets better. I will wait until stable until I test that out though. I have 2 PCs with nVidia graphics, one of them works good and the other, well not so much.

    I am currently running this BETA on my test rig (Intel/Intel) and all is well.

    Embarrassing question, but is there a way to update to 17.3 and still keep everything (customizations, settings and so on) the same as my 17.2 set up?

    This is my first time using Linux and I've spent a ton of time getting everything looking and working how I want, the thought of having to start from scratch again leaves me feeling o_O
