Wow, um, I'm having a pretty much identical problem, on a MBP 6,2

I followed these instructions, and got hung up there, with the same dialog. Couldn't select install GRUB on sda3.

I just...

I've had a lot of sound problems with this machine, an Inspiron 1420, and this is the most recent.


With this most recent upgrade to 9.10, my sound only works after a fresh boot. If I put it...

So I was trying to get my HDTV to work as an external monitor for my laptop through a VGA cable. I fiddled things around with the system>prefs>screen resolution tool, and at one point I agreed to...

not really.

At this point, I can live.

Now that I know whats wrong, it looks like a load of people have had the original problem. Not sure why my .mozilla folder was emptied, though.

OK, I feel really stupid now.

Somehow, when trying to extract a .rar, it made over 100 copies of it. I sent all those to the trash, but neglected to empty it. I just deleted 30 GB.

Everything...

Firefox won't open in terminal. No error message, it just doesn't open.

However, when I opened some other programs in terminal, it gives an error message like:


oxy@RivenDell:~$ openoffice...

Still not opening...

Um... I think somehow the contents of that folder got deleted or something? I can't open firefox.

[I'm typing this from a differnt browser]

I got this:


oxy@RivenDell:~$ chown -R $USER: .mozilla
oxy@RivenDell:~$ chmod -R 664 .mozilla
chmod: cannot access `.mozilla/firefox': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access...

Terminal says

drwx------ 6 oxy oxy 1024 2008-04-25 19:25 .mozilla


and the permissions tab looks right.

I don't really know what it should look like...

I get the following error message:


Profile couldn't be created. Probably the chosen folder isn't writable.
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)...

Sorry, I meant safe mode.

And opening the add ons menu has the problem of crashing the program.

Is there something I have to do to disable it?

When I close it and re-open it, it runs a scan of my add ons for compatibility. It seems to do this every time, and takes me to the "firefox has...

Well, that seems to have fixed the rendering. All I had as an add-on was a twitter client though.

Any ideas on the lack of bookmarks? They show up when I start typing them, but not in the toolbar...

I've recently been having some of problems with Firefox recently. This might be the wrong place to go, but I figured I'd start here.

The biggest problem is that it isn't rendering pages properly,...

Yeah, Ok. I'm marking this as solved.

Thanks for everyone's help.

The first one seems to work. I haven't rebooted yet though...

Yeah, I added it after trying to reload the module after rebooting. Neither that, not loading them by hand worked.

Ok... so I did all this last night, and got nothing. I got up to reinstalling the drivers from Kernal.

But when I came back today (from an overnight suspend), I was planning to try and compile...

I followed instructions A and C (general and 8.10), and still no sound.

I got to Appendix A, and have part C


I'm pretty sure that my master volume isn't muted, I've checked a bunch of...

I really hate to bump things up, but this problem is getting annoying...

I would really appreciate it if anyone could help.
