but for now I'm on another hdd on the same PC running Debian 7 which works fine. Hello, only a shot in the blue, but my guess is, that you didn't install mint's grub2 in the mbr of the *boot* disk? How is the boot sequence in the bios setted? CD-HDD1 (Debian 7) - hdd2 for Mint? Have you wiped off M...

Hello again,
strange, because ubuntu 13.04 seems work for you (?). So, maybe the problem is not caused by your video card but rather by a faulty .iso and/or faulty burn? Maybe it's worth to download again from a different mirror and burn the file again (slow burn 2x)?
Good luck!

Hi
upgrading to kernel 3.9.2 solved my problems. If you want to try out out the nvidia driver, first install the kernel, reboot, then:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Hello I have one of those modern UEFI boards, too, and I had tons of problems with all kernels 3.5-3.8 included (Mint 14, (K)Ubuntu 13.04). For me, kernel 3.9.x (I'm using 3.9.2 atm) solved all the problems. If I was you I'd try to install Mint 15 RC. Unfortunately it comes with kernel 3.8.0-19 (wor...

Hi,
you have a separate boot partion (sdb6). So, open shell in the live cd and:

sudo mkdir /mnt/boot
sudo mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt/boot

sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb

Recently there was an update to kernel 3.5.0-28, and my last attempt to boot on that version has been successful. If it keeps like that, I will consider the problem as solved. Great! The 3.9. kernel works for me. No boot problems anymore. I will consider to call the 3.8.xx kernel the worst in my li...

Thanks for the reply, but I've looked in the alsamixer already and everything's in order. I didn't try looking while trying to listen to playback, but no luck there. I've been able to get sound from non-flash related sources, so I'm pretty sure the issue is mainly with that. Installing ALSA was jus...

Try this: fire up a terminal & give it sudo alsactl -F init Hello no need for that all: $ alsamixer (no need for sudo) F6 select your card turn up all the needed channels press m to unmute (color changes pale to green). Important: when finished press esc to leave the mixer. If you want to save ...

addendum:

So, I installed the kernel 3.9.0-030900-generic 64bit. Touch on wood: booting was fast and nice. Waiting for tomorrow <shudder>

Update: No any problems today. Fast boot.

Still not working very well. Hello Unfortunately I must confirm that. Today the boot hung on "adding swap /dev/sda5". I'm running one of the modern UEFI-Windows 8-ready motherboards (Gigabyte, GA-970A-DS3), and it seems that this or similar boards are not playing well with Linux. I tried ...

I've tried reinstalling grub from a live CD:

Hello
"a live CD". Which one? Grub 1.99 can't handle efi. Grab a live CD with grub 2.0 (!) and try again.Don't forget to chroot and don't forget to run sudo update-grub after the installation
Good luck!

I am having a similar problem. I installed a GTX 650 Ti and tried installing the driver from nvidia. I got an error due to X server running. I tried ctrl+alt+f1 then logging in as root. I tried telinit 3 and 2 but X was still there and the driver would not install. I tried tellinit 1 and the driver...

Been fighting with this all afternoon. I lost my Realtek sound when I installed the Nvidia drivers on my new install. Linuxmint LDME bit. I had to install Nvidia because the Nouveau drivers wouldn't let the install cd boot. However I'm stumped. Searching for my audio cards shows them as being there...

The main culprit is that I have recently installed ALSA. Hello You too? Mint did that in the first place... Alsa is the mother of all the fancy pulseaudio phonon blub audioservers. Try: $ alsamixer F6 select your sound card push all the channels you need (I run xonar d1 7.1 in a 5.1 setup) to the t...

Hi
any ppa repo added? Wine 1.4.1-0Ubuntu1 is the package version for Mint 14, and you will have no problems with dependencies. Remove the ppa repo (look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d), then sudo apt-get update.

Deleting the file and running sudo apt-get update didn't help. sudo apt-get install wine still gives the same output. Hello any repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.d? Rename the folder (eg sources.list.d_old) and run apt-get update again. BTW it's a bad idea to use proper Debian repos in Mint/Ubuntu. If...

1. echo 'blacklist shpchp' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf 2. echo 'blacklist sp5100_tco' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-watchdog.conf Reboot I did that and my first attempt to boot was successful! If it remains like that for the next 3 days, I will consider that the problem has been solved...
