Thanks for this how-to, it worked well on my Mint 14 (64bit with Cinnamon)

Same problem here, timeout during boot but NFS shares all mounted once it was up and running. The fix for me was to look at the output of 'mount' in a terminal and then compare the settings to what I had in /etc/fstab. The old options were: 192.168.0.155:/homes/pigsy /mnt/pigsy nfs auto,rw,soft,intr...

I've compiled Wine on Ubuntu before to see if I get a performance boost, but I didn't notice anything so I stick with packages since they are quicker. As for uninstallation goes, if you use checkinstall, it will generate a deb from the compiled source and install it (Installation can be toggled in ...

It looks like you've made good progress anyway, I went through similar issues until I got ALSA working. Ialso tried OSS4 but I didn't have much success with it (some apps worked but others would...

It sounds like you may need to give your machine a static IP address.

I also had issues with sound and decided to remove Pulseaudio and replace it with ALSA. All my apps work very well now, including sound in World of Warcraft under Wine. My system: LMDE UP4 with kernel 3.2 (32 bit) KDE 4.7 with KDM as my display manager Nvidia HDMI on-board sound. This is how I got A...
