hi,

running Linux Mint 14 now, but basically it's Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.

I am attempting to install the same way as before. unfortunately it's now telling me I have an unmet libpopt0:i386...

Whenever I try to open Fallout (1) in Steam, I get "This game is unavailable. Please try again at another time". I verified the cache, I tried switching to Gnome (from unity), I renamed that one...

I used mountmanager to allow both drives to be mounted not just by "administrator" but by "everybody" (note that since I am an administrator, this should have been working, and I was able to mount it...

If you first go to system settings, then click on "Mouse and Touchpad", then there should be a tab at the top that says touchpad.

If it's not there you might be screwed.

Go to system settings and then touchpad/mouse and go to the touchpad section and enable it.

Can you explain what that does before I do it?

Also this is the thread I followed to enable write access.. I only paid any attention to the section headed "making your mac and linux home folders...

So I triple-boot a Mac. I was formerly able to access my HFS+ and NTFS drives, and then I decided to try to enable read/write access for the HFS drive by disabling journaling and changing my UID on...

Anyone had success in making the printer work at faster than a glacial pace? I've been able to print, which is great, but I have to wait forever.

I can confirm that if you are starting from scratch on 12.04, installing the printer is easy by using the printer manager. After supplying the IP address of the printer, I selected "PASSTHRU" when...

typically it works on reboot. and it randomly started working again. but if I have this problem again, I might try that... though I'm not sure why it would make a difference.

thanks

I asked the apple users forum about this, but I might get more luck here...

So, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBook Pro 8,1. I followed the instructions here word for word to get the wireless LAN working (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Oneiric#Wireless). ...

MacBook Air drivers and Pro drivers seem to be interchangeable, but at the moment, using HUD to log out and log back in suits me just fine. I'm looking for a permanent fix.

But thanks

apparently whenever it breaks, it thinks every touch is two-finger scrolling. this explains why all touchpad functions except pointer navigation seem to be preserved.

I've been using several versions of Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro 8,1. In the past (and now), I've had problems with the touchpad driver occasionally breaking when I open up my computer after suspension....

I have been grappling with this problem for several months. I have Windows 7, Snow Leopard, and Ubuntu 11 on my MacBook Pro 8,1. When I fixed refit to make Windows work (before it was saying no...

A little background:
A couple of weeks ago, my problem was almost the opposite. I have a MacBook Pro set up to triple boot Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 11.10, using refit. At the time,...

I found this page which may sort of answer my question, but I'm not really clear on what exactly I do to fix GRUB. What do I need to use...

I did this, and it worked great. I can now boot Windows from refit.

But now when I boot Linux (which was working perfectly fine earlier), it boots Windows instead. I did exactly what you said...

sorry didn't mean to post

I hesitate to do that, because I'm using a MacBook Pro and the Clean Install didn't seem to be working earlier. The upgrade worked, so I was happy with that.

There are a few major problems. It's...

So I just upgraded my 11.04 installation to 11.10. I was pretty dissatisfied with the Unity requirement, so I tried installing xubuntu-desktop and xfce. I immediately realized I didn't want this...

I'm trying to install Harry Potter Quidditch for PC using Wine. I have the CD, but the drive appears to be unrecognizable by my system. I copied the contents to a USB and it is recognized, but when...

I booted both at the same time, works now. Thanks!

I successfully followed the specific Mac instructions for creating the bootable USB. The trouble is getting my Mac to recognize it. I tried pressing C for CD and it just got stuck on a white screen...
