Hi
I've just installed the Debian versions of Konfig and Kinsky on my [HP8440p] laptop, which is now running the RC candidate of Linux Mint Debian (64-bit MATE version) and whilst Konfig works like a charm, Kinsky simply doesn't start (double click icon to launch and absolutely nothing happens). I first tried the beta (and saw all the dependencies being installed) and after no success, I then removed that and installed the nightly build, but still nothing happens when I try to open it.
I actually don't need it to work on my laptop, but it could be useful if my iPad ever dies, so I wondered if anyone else has experienced the above and whether they have any ideas on what to try. It's more for fun really, so if Linn Design are reading this, don't halt development on all other projects just to get Kinsky working on my laptop; an answer by tomorrow lunchtime would be just fine.![Big Grin]( "Big Grin")
I'm new to 'proper' Linux (more familiar with embedded on NAS's) so any suggestions on what to try would be most welcomed (so even the basic ones included).![Smile]( "Smile")

NB I really like the Debian Mint system; seriously cool stuff. Only one (small) issue was that I installed and it all went a treat, but it didn't fully close at reboot (very nearly, but not completely) and after a forced shutdown, I then had then to use the 64 bit version of boot repair disk to fix Grub (it just booted directly into the Windows partition, so I fixed Grub with the boot disk and all was well).
I had installed it on one big ext4 partition (without an additional swap partition) with my thinking being that I don't want to stress the SSD (I'll have to research how partitioning SSD works and how wear leveling works with a small swap partition) so I'm not sure if that grub failure issue was down to my 'unusual' installation, or if there's another issue, but it's all working beautifully, now (dual boot and shutdown works perfectly).![Smile]( "Smile")
