Hi. I just downloaded zorin 12 and all the thumbnails for pics and videos are blank. Is there any way to fix this so I can get a little pic for each thumbnail? Thanks in advance.

Have you uploaded and installed the system updates?

I recently did a full Zorin 12 Ultimate install from a DVD. My previous two installations using USB stick and a different DVD had failed - a long story, some of which you will see in my posts on this forum.

With a little bit of hindsight and insight from this forum, I altered the source of software to Main Server (see the separate topic on this written by Swarf) and applied updates. A whole host of guph came down. A little time later, I got the message about software updates being available. Ticking that I got a whole load more guph coming down.

The result was being able to set shortcuts on the desktop and lovely, previously unseen miniature thumbnails for pics and videos. Also totally more attractive icons generally.

I hope that this works for you also. F.P.
