Wondering if its more to do with device detection and maybe firmware!
Same with an optiplex gx620. have followed lots of threads, reinstalled alsa pulse etc tried lots of 'option codes in alsa-base.conf all to no avail. It worked perfectly on 12.04, 14.04 can't seem to...
In a terminal:
sudo apt-get install python-pkg-resources python-setuptools --reinstall
sudo easy_install --upgrade requests
in a terminal
dropbox stop
dropbox start poor workaround but it works for me (just for the dropbox icon that is)
could also try
gksudo service network-manager restart

PS The problem in not booting win98 its booting it from its mbr on secondary master to avoid the issue with dos compatibility mode.
No, correct in BIOS, and yes, it then boots Lucid.
Hi oldfred,
This one's hd's are on eide's and the designations remain fixed regardless of grub2 boot drive selection, thanks though.
PS Grub indirectly booted secondary master via the mbr, I...
