I think the best theft security is to not have your stuff stolen. You should not be so dismissive. Until it happens to you, you won't know what its like. Sometimes its not under your control. I am here because someone I know had their home broken into, and valuables stolen, like their laptop. Be mo...

Where do I go to check settings or config for why this is happening? I had NO sound for months, and did so many suggestions online, so I need to go and see what may be mixed up multiple settings in alsa or pulseaudio and everything else. lspci 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Se...

Yes, I too, am months without sound. Can't do google hangout, view youtube, not even any webinars. this is crippling. Considering going back to Win XP. LOL. That's how desperate I am. Used Ubuntu 5 years, til it got crappy, than Mint the last 3. Reminds me of my love of Firefox, until it got crappy ...

Its now a dead link: The support for this method of upgrading your ALSA drivers has been discontinued. Please refer to Upgrading Alsa instead. after my last post I did some more digging and found something that seems to make it work properly! see here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxA...

That post is from 2011-2013 so still looking for an answer to OP initial question. I would like to know also. Here is some great information for SSD - http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=79503#p461796 EDIT: UPDATE: According to this command, my 17.1 Mate 32 bit does support it: $ su...

Wow! Thank you JeremyB! How do you figure these things out? As a longtime user, I wonder. Not only did it make my connection stable, but it improved reception from 78% 3 bars, to 4 bars 91% at the same exact location distance from my wireless router. I stuck in the 7811 USB and it immediately showed...

Hello. I have the same problem. http://i.imgur.com/bBSDnl2.png I have re-installed LM 17.1 32 bit Mate on my Acer Aspire 9410z three times now from the DVD over one week, after trying too many broadcom 4311 suggestions online. Had Ubuntu 8.10 working on this laptop for about 5 years (replacing the b...

I have the 1202 and trying to determine if 17.1 will support it or if there is a driver manager non-free version.

Even easier.

Just run Software Manager from the main menu, and then type in

lxde

press enter

click the

Uninstall

button.

Done.

So crunchbang is dead.

Have you guys gone back to LM or using something else?

Using LM 17.1 64bit and alsamixer does not show me any unbalanced channels.
