I am running Peppermint 3 on a Dell Latitude D505.
I made the mistake of right-clicking on an application tab and selecting “Move to Workspace (3)” and the Radio 4 iPlayer disappeared whilst still playing.
I have tried all the Firefox tools, preferences and tutorials that I can find and browsed forums, including this one, but can’t find any way of displaying workspaces.
I expect Radio4 will stop playing if I reboot, but I would still like to know how to access those pesky spaces. Can anyone advise me?
A while back I had the desktop set to switch workspace when I drag something to the edge of screen … and I’d forgot about it.
Confused the hell outa me for a minute or two when I accidentally moved a window and everything else appeared to have closed :o
(as you’ve no doubt guessed … I don’t use multiple workspaces that often)
No, I doubt that I, too, would have much need to separate several groups of applications into workspaces, but then I don’t work hard enough to warrant it.
BTW; where is the Desktop Pager panel applet? There’s nothing in the bottom panel.
I am finding quite a few interesting facilities in Peppermint and ought, perhaps, to browse the online User Guide to get the best out of it. Actually, having tried one mint flavour I might explore another, if you can recommend a non-PAE distro. I am using Peppermint on a spare laptop so don’t care if I screw up an installation.
Right click on the panel select panel settings> Panel applets if you don’t see “Desktop Pager” listed click “Add” highlight Desktop Pager or WNCKPager from the list then click “ADD”
If you’re of a mind to distro hop I would say Bodhi would definitely be one to try if for no other reason than because it’s so different from the rest with it’s Enlightenment desktop, it takes a bit of getting used to I gave it a try on a spare HDD on my desktop before but decided it wasn’t for me but to be fair I probably didn’t give it a fair shot besides I also think it’s a distro best suited for a laptop
Thank you, gentlemen.
I am running Peppermint 3 on the laptop already and am encouraged that it is to be supported for a reasonable time.
Bohdi looks like a fun OS to try, and I think I’ll use Graeme’s idea of using a spare disc drive as it would save a lot of messing about. I have a lot on at the moment but no doubt you shall find me begging for help when I get around to trying it out!
