Hi,
I did a quick install of Linuxmint 17 and I have to say, it is working fine out of the box, even the sound playback (radiotray, youtube).
What do you need?
- Linuxmint 17 XFCE 32 bit
Steps:
- Boot the install media (pendrive) and install the system normally.
- After installation, you can boot to your new system.
- Update your system.
- Fix the pulseaudio choppy sound like this:
Open /etc/pulse/default.pa as root in a text editor (nano, mc, vi, whatever).
Find the following line: load-module module-udev-detect .....
Modify it to this: load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
Save it and reboot your machine
Enjoy the music
Notes:
* Linuxmint thinks, you have a laptop display and an other monitor and it use them as mirror. That is why the screen size only 1024x768.
Just start the Display application, disable the Laptop monitor. You will be able to setup a better resolution.
It is true for the setup process, so, you can play with it with the livecd.
* If you lost your eye-candy wallpaper and get an xfce mouse on blue screen, just modify your path to the nice backgrounds in the Display properties:
/usr/share/xfce4/backdrops
