Re: Sound Issue

The usual answer is to open a terminal, type alasamixer and hit enter. Then make sure that PCM, Master and Front are all at maximum.

Re: Installing Linux Mint on Eee 900

Well, I'm glad you're happy with your SSD install, but that install to SDHC is going to bug me. I'll pick up a new spare card today (this is just a poor excuse to spend money) and attempt an install tomorrow. I'll post up my results when I'm done.

Re: Installing Linux Mint on Eee 900

Um, it may be a case of GRUB on the SDHC looking in the wrong place for the OS.
You would have to hit ESC at GRUB and then edit the places it looks in. I've never done it, so you might want to Google it or run a search on the Ubuntu forum.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

Re: Mint 7 and EEEpc

I've installed Mint 7 on my 900 20GB (previously Eeebuntu Base 3.0)and my brother's 701 4GB (previously Xandros) and am as happy as Larry with both installs. Once some of the superfluous stuff is removed (Compiz for a start) it pretty much flies along. From what I've read, the 1000HE install is pret...

Re: Installing Linux Mint on Eee 900

A quick check.
Did you partition and format the SDHC properly and install GRUB to the SDHC?
Have you used that particular card for running other distros before?

Re: Installing Linux Mint on Eee 900

I don't have suspend because I have no need of it. If I wanted suspend I would get Adam's Kernel and Fewt's scripts. And then I would get royally brassed off because the scripts don't work properly and my CPU wouldn't run at the correct speed. And then I would have to jump through hoops to correct i...

Re: openchange on mint

Normally, you would just type the name of the package into the terminal and hit enter.
In this case I would try typing openchange and hitting enter.

Re: Installing Linux Mint on Eee 900

I'm loving it on my 900. You can read about my experience here: http://blog.sanriotown.com/barrieluv:he ... eeepc-900/

I was using Eeebuntu and was very happy with it, but I'm finding Mint even better. :)

Re: How Can I Remove Java6?

I expect you'd find some problems if you just removed Java 6. Probably best not to remove it. You should be able to just install version 1.5 anyway and use these commands to choose the version of Java your system uses. So download and install the Java you wish to use and then: First, to make sure th...
