I have already tried fsck and it hasn't fixed anything. So if there are no alternative flags for fsck and testdisk is difficult to identify specific folders then it looks like i will need to reinstall.

Sorry for the confusion, yes my /home directory is on a separate partition. What i am unsure about is what i have lost in losing the /etc folder. Can i replace this from the live cd or is there setup information in there that means i need to reinstall? I did try the TestDrive application from my win...

So should i really give up hope of trying to recover the /etc folder or is there a way to use TestDisk or something similar to try and restore this folder? If i reinstall over the current partition, what does this imply for my home directory? Will i have to install everything again, and hope that th...

*bump*

sorry to put this issue in front of everyones eyes again but i have a lot at stake and i could really do with some advice.

thanks

Hey guys, i have been doing my PhD for the past few years so it has made sense for me to stick with Elyssa. Today i have had a major problem with my installation. Bascially someone turned off my laptop whilst it was running a disk check on boot. Now i have major problems. Firstly there appears to be...

hmm sometimes yes, but it mostly start with the rndis connection to my phone. Somehow that seems to have cleared with a reflash of my phone so i suspect there was something wrong on the phone. I am still getting random crashes just through general use. I'll post various log files the next time it ha...

I found a .deb file from the romeo repository that works http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/rome ... 1_i386.deb My flash version is 10,0,0,525 which i think is still the non-free version from that repository. If there was a way to completely remove firefox then reinstall all the plugins one by one t...

Hey all, i have been living with nightmare that is flash and firefox in mint. Ever since i stupidly decided to upgrade to flash 10 i have been trying to manage this problem. I am hoping, no praying that some could please guide me through a way to get flash working correctly for me without crashing f...

Ahh ok that makes plenty of sense now. I guess i'll have to figure out another way.
Thanks!

Hey all, i am still using elyssa till the middle of next year, and there have been a couple of developments in evolution that i would like to use, e.g. google calendar compatiblility. Evolution has gradually become less stable for me with it regularly crashing under average loads. My current version...

I just wish i knew how to identify the problem in detail...

This issue is still on going..... i recently reflashed my phone and now the ICS application will auto disconnect..... and consequently will crash elyssa. Is there anyway i can fix this.... or at least source the right logs so that i have something to track down. I believe dmesg seems the best but th...

Just for anyone who has installed flash 10 and it has broke the flash in firefox, tried to install the old version again and it didn't work too!

Hey all, i too somehow found that my flash player wasn't working and decided to follow the update for flash 10. However, just like quite a few this hasn't worked! Can someone please write a quick guide on how to remove all aspects of flash including version 9 and 10 that connect to firefox and opera...

Just a quick update on this guys i thought i would post my source links in case there are other specifics that i have missed with my first post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340747 http://ochsenhirt.org/2008/05/20/use-internet-connection-sharing-on-wm6-with-hardy-heron-howto/ htt...

Just to update this thread.... my machine is still crashing! It is regular and annoying enough to really disrupt my work now. from what i have read this is a kernel problem or at least a wireless driver issue. I have found similar posts on ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-4...

Never mind Husse,

the package has been updated with a readme that does tell you how to install. I already had all the dependencies so everything is fine.
the new readme is here http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15414099/README

thanks again!

Hey, i have had elyssa crash on me 3 times, i've yet to find the source but i thought i would try see if i can track down the log files at least. I am using a dell d620 with a 2gb of ram and a nvidia quadro nvs 110m. On each occasion everything will free and the caps lock and the scroll lock lights ...

bumped!!

Husse, the tar ball has no installation instructions just dependencies.

Husse......!!! This was just what i was looking for!

I don't mind a gui as then i don't have to worry about scheduling. I have downloaded the tarball, but i am a little stuck on how to install. I think i have covered all the dependencies.
How would you install this?

Thanks
