Installing Linux Mint 18.2

Firefox 52+ does not work with ALSA, therefore you must install PulseAudio:

sudo apt install pulseaudio pavucontrol

and then activate my bose speakers using the PulseAudio Volume Control from the main menu.


Install the following libraries (sudo apt-get install):
qml-module-org-kde-kholidays  (this is for the holidays in the calendar)
gnome-themes-standard          (prevents warning with wxmaxima)
plasma-widget-cwp
plasma-widget-weatherforecast (widget weather forecast... cities)


Otros programas a installar
lha
rpm
rsibreak (workrave does not work)
texstudio (descargar desde página oficial)
google earth (descargar desde página oficial)
acrobat reader (.deb)

Después de instalar MATLAB, instale
matlab-support


Login Manager (greeter)
sddm is the default login manager in Linux Mint 18.2
It is really ugly, and I really like mdm, the default in LM 17.3
Therefore, install mdm and select it as the login manager
Remove sddm, sddm-theme*, kde-config-sddm


In order to remove the
[FAILED] Failed to start braille device support
error, remove brltty
