Thanks all for the timely replies!
Grahammechanical, that was particularly helpful.

hm.
I have lived a lifetime hitting the key just left of the spacebar, and thinking it'll be "meta", but now I find myself liking this old Mac keyboard, not a PC-104. And Ubuntu thinks the command key is...
Thanks everyone!
Elfy seems right about how the Grub on the Mint partition was driving stuff.
On Bashing-Om's advice, the old kernel versions have been removed. I've run "grub-install /dev/sda"...
So it turns out there are multiple places GRUB can install to. Grub-install installs to a place that was being trumped by a more powerful grub-install in the past. "grub-install /dev/sda" seems to...
The grub I talk to at boot time is a different version than the grub we're dinking around with at the prompt. That's one thing that makes me believe it's the /dev/sda4 OS that's running the show.

The lack of ".old" files goes over my head.
I don't think that *this* grub builds the menu that boots the machine. I think it's whatever's on /dev/sda4. Not even sure it's grub. I'll take a photo...
Thank you.

I just don't understand what the heck is going on in U11.04. I try to adjust the preferences, but I can't find the control panel anymore. Where did it go?
Ubuntu 10.4 user.
sudo apt-get install libgnomeui-dev libvte-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev
Then download the grip tarball and install it from source. :P
I rip a CD with sound juicer, load the resulting files onto an MP3 player, and the player displays the song title, artist, and album all as "unknown". Analyzing the files in MP3 Diags, it complains...
For some reason my audio is really soft.
I can't find the way to the old gui mixer thing, y'know the one that has 75 useless sliders that all multiply together to give the output volume. I can't...
Nautilus doesn't store the result of "Open With" persistantly. I "Open With" whatever, and then go back and click the image, it opens it again in the GIMP.

By default, I think Nautilus should open .jpg files with an image viewer, but on my system it opens them with slow-starting, image-hard-to-see-because-of-window-cluttering GIMP.

DNS lookup has been painfully slow since the upgrade to 9.10. DNS lookup at the mac across the office is normal speed. Any clue as to what could be going wrong here?

I just skipped that step. It seemed to work OK for me. Then again, I'm running debian stable, so what the hork am I doing here?
