it's mint KDE that freezes. Cinamon is fine, so is kubuntu. Picasa in linux, well the page you direct to doesn't mention it. A google on Picasa for linux gets me to pages for various distros with instructions for installing it, all of which point to google Picasa for linux pages and all go to 404.On 08/07/13 09:31, Simon Robert -Cottage wrote:I've had mint 15, cinnamon, installed on my laptop (celeron, samsung R519) and it's great.And by some crazy coincidence, a client has just dropped off a trashed laptop and asked for a hardware fix and a reinstall with Linux. It's a Samsung R530, so probably almost identical to yours. Mint 15 works fine does it? Think I'll slap that on it then, once I've replaced the screen. Does yours run pretty hot? I've only had this thing on for a few minutes and it's getting pretty toasty already. Regards
I direct you to this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/google-officially-drop-picasa-for-linuxwhich says, a. it's discontinued, b. the linux version always came with a native wine installer. And a quick "find" for picasa* sees bits of it living in directories sub to ..../wine...
And yes probably would swap the audi for a beamer if the beamer had a really nice cup holder and I would have to nail the BMW dashboard onto the audi's dashboard to use it. I dislike having to install nearly all of KDE/gnome to run a single app, I know what a DE is ta, and anyway I like KDE.
Yup the R519 gets warm and is not temperature tolerant. It was 32% degrees here the other day and it kept cutting out, despite being on a hard surface. Was OK after I raised it with a couple of books though. Watching movies in bed with the lappy on the duvet, you got about 8 minutes before it quits.
