I have Mint 8 on a Toshiba NB 200 netbook. Sound levels are turned up but there is no output from speakers or headphones. I suspect a driver problem but dont know what to do about it. I have read several posts from others experiencing similar problems but none of the solutions offerred has helped. E...

Curses!!
I need to use Win to run my accounting software so I guess a dual boot arrangement is the best option to be able to use all the Linux bells and whistles.
Thanks for that advice.

Old Compaq Evo N115 originally running Win XP Pro. Would take 30min+ to start up and run really slowly despite cleanout and defrag etc. In other words was practically useless. Recently dumped Win and installed LM 5 Fluxbox CE and the old dog has been given a new lease of life. I'm trying to educate ...

I feel a complete twit!!
Everything is working fine now.
For some reason I thought that grub was only used for the dual boot situation. It's a learning curve.
Thanks for your replies guys.

I have installed a copy of Daryna on a separate physical disk as a guest OS in VM Ware. Initially I could not get the live CD to run in VM Ware but got it going eventually by accessing the BIOS and changing the boot order. Daryna installed OK. I elected not to install the bootloader and created: / p...

Thanks. Edited both fstab and menu.lst but no luck...still get error 21. Can you see any problem with these. I'm pretty much a noob so need all the help I can get. # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 ...

I initially had Mint on a cruddy old IDE drive until that drive developed problems. I have re-installed onto a new SATA drive but am having a lot of problems getting GRUB to start. It keeps returning an Error 21 which I believe means that it cannot find the correct drive. The system setup at present...

Thanks but tried that with no luck.

Noticed that Envy and Automatix both load nvidia driver 9631.
Downloaded the latest one (9639) and tried that but it just makes x crash

No luck so far. I suspect the problem is an incompatibility of this particular mobo with the nvidia drivers. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=87332&page=6 While the driver seems to have installed OK and the display is stable, I don't think it is working fully ie. no 3D. Might be ...

I already have Mint and Beryl installed and running on one machine but attempts to replicate it on another machine have so far been a failure. The new machine is: Asus A7N266-VM Mobo (has GeForce2 integrated GPU) GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x video card Mint has installed fine and the Nvidia driver has be...

I want to uninstall Tremulous but can't figure out how to do it. I downloaded the .run file to the desktop and ran cd ~/Desktop sudo sh tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run to install It is installed in /usr/local/games/tremulous I could just delete the folder but I guess that might not be too clever. ...

Bingo!
All good. Thanks for the help....and for being patient.

Thanks, making progress. Though it doesn't help when I don't give all the information......Duuh! hda - Cassandra hdb - NTFS storage sda - WinXP Pro sdb - NTFS storage After applying corrections from Boo, attempts to run WinXP from GRUB return an error NTLDR is missing If I disconnect hdb Win boots f...

Thanks for the help. Have edited the grub file and the link to Win XP appears in the bootloader but clicking it causes an Error 13. I think it is a problem with accessing the SATA drive and have been trying to solve it with no luck. Have to resort to asking for help again. hda is dedicated to Cassan...

I have WinXP Pro installed on a SATA drive and originally had Feisty installed on an IDE drive. GRUB bootloader worked fine and I was able to boot up to either OS. I am paranoid about losing the info on the Win drive and disconnected the SATA disk before installing Cassandra over Feisty (I thought I...
