This forum has mainly Ubuntu know how-ers.
I should head on over to the respective distro forums.

Thought it would be a general quick fix, hence why I posted here, if an explination...

Crunchbang works. Not exactly what I wanted, but I guess it works*.

I won't be marking this as [SOLVED] because a true solution was never found.

No change.

I may try installing the latest Crunchbang, which is based on Debian.

I'll give it a shot, but there is no graphics card in this laptop.

I was thinking it is either a kernel issue or the lack of a display manager .

Switching to other tty's does nothing.

And X isn't installed. I did not install a desktop environment during the install process. I might install X + XFCE4, and also possibly see what happens when...

Hello all,

In the past, I had Debian 6 "Squeeze" running flawlessly on this laptop. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron E1405. I'll post specs if needed, but I don't want to clutter this post.

Am I correct in saying that the only issue which you've come across is the port forwarding? Does the actual server work (can you log on to it?) ?

Here is a poorly written guide that I found....

Okay. I'll look into port forwarding, but I'm sure someone else will pipe in before I get a chance to get back to you. Look around the Minecraft Forums and other Linux forums.

How many people do...

Is port forwarding necessary, or would you be willing to use something like Hamachi? (https://secure.logmein.com/labs/#HamachiforLinux)

I'll be honest, I know very little when it comes to port...

Things aren't looking good.

Here is why (not in any order, and only skimmed):

Update:

Hmmmm.....I might end up doing a fresh install, just to start...fresh.

I think I have a problem with OpenGL. Which explains why glxgears and glxspheres don't work, and might be related...

Bump!

Sorry to dig this back up from the grave. As far as I'm concerned, this thread can be closed.
Also, I don't know if I am inept today, but is there no 'edit post' feature?

Anyways,...

@Kamigor -

Glad to hear that this worked out for you. I have a Y470 running a recent install of Xubuntu.
Do I still need to use the "Solution" in the original post before your posted method, or...

Update: Looking into Dovecot, making headway.

Still a bit lost (understatement). Help?

Point me in the right direction if this has already been discussed.

It has been discussed over an over again.

I am unable to do that - I tried previously in PartedMagic and then in GParted, and then once again after the suggestion.

Yes, this has been covered many times. I cannot seem to find a clear solution, however.

I have been travelling the past couple days - have not had a chance to address the problems. I may attempt a fix tomorrow, depending on internet access.

Thanks, I will let you know.
