Hi Ziktofel,

I also have a Lenovo Z580 laptop. Have you upgraded Linux Mint? Did you encounter the boot-up-time bug? On my laptop, due to a bios bug in the Z580s, it takes 30 minutes to boot up...

Any luck?

I'm having the same problem in 12.04!

But, I've set the resolution to something reasonable. I shouldn't get a blank screen on logout!

Any solutions?

My 12.04_AMD64 system is freezing up too! Requires a hard reboot.

I'm running an Intel core i5 processor with 4GB RAM Intel Sandybridge mobile graphics.

Can anyone help diagnose?

Everything...

I answered my own question.

I downloaded and installed a Debian tk-table.deb package.

Then, inside R, you have to issue the command addTclPath("/usr/lib/tcltk"). R can then find the...

Similar question from me, but from R with Ubuntu 11.10.

When I issue the command:

the tcltk package cannot find it and issues the command:

Yup, that works, but doesn't solve the problem. I would like for the screen to black out if I don't use the computer for a while (that's the function of a screensaver). Then, when I hit a key or...

I am trying it, but that I would like a screensaver.

I own a Lenovo Ideapad and put Ubuntu 11.10 on it.

Most everything is working well. One feature that bothers me occurs when the screensaver activates. When I deactivate the screensaver, the...

84 views, but no replies? :( What's a broken superdrive iMac owner to do?

I have an Intel iMac running OS X 10.5.8.
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Memory

I would like to install Ubuntu on the iMac and wipe out the OS X operating system. I'm not interested in a virtual...

I cannot figure out how to boot into ubuntu 10.10 (or earlier) from a USB stick for an intel imac duo core (v7.1). Unfortunately, my superdrive is dead, so I cannot boot from a CD or DVD.

I've...

Problem solved! Thanks for all your help! The issue was that I somehow have grub2 installed on both of my hard drives. In my BIOS (CMOS?), I needed to change the boot order of those two drives and...

Thank you for your reply! I wished that worked, but it didn't.

I did this:
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash

File not found.

Then I tried:
set root=(hd0,1)

Hi all. I just installed Ubuntu 10.4 beta. The installation is fine, but grub2 isn't loading Linux.

Instead of booting into the OS, I get the message:

No such disk

No need to decide at all. If your computer has enough capability, you don't need to dual boot. Choose one of Windows XP or Ubuntu as the ONLY OS. Then install VirtualBox so that you can run a...

Solved, but not being fixed. From the Poldhu driver developer:

Yes, of course. There are compilation errors when I type "sudo make".

I have an old laptop (Pentium 2) with an 3CRWE62092A X-Jack wireless card. Back in the day, I compiled the poldhu wireless driver (http://poldhu.sourceforge.net/) for it, and all was well. ...

The problem may be with compiz. Log into a shell and type

# sudo apt-get remove compiz
# sudo apt-get remove compiz-core

Then try logging into Gnome and it should work.

Although compiz...

You may need to disable or delete compiz. Try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962779.

Try Puppy Linux or DSL (Damn Small Linux).

In a terminal (as the regular user, not sudo or root), type

$ winecfg


I think that this may set up the regular user as a .wine user. Then you should be able to run wine. I'll give my...
