YOU ROCK, brainwash!! Thank you! Only change I made was I sent a "echo 10" instead of "echo 0" to the second line.

Four days to figure this out ... Thanks a bundle!

OK, after a little investigation, I determined that the sony_laptop module is included in my kernel, but the defaults are set wrong - lsmod shows that the module is loaded.

I found this post on an...

OK, thanks for the help so far. I downloaded the source files, so now I have linux-source-3.0. Now when I switch to that directory and attempt to patch, I am still getting errors. It says it cannot...

Yes, that instruction file says to go to /usr/src/linux, but that directory doesn't exist on my system. I have /usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0.12, and /usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0.12-generic. Not sure...

I deleted this post off the laptops forum, because it is a question that belongs in the general help forum, and is not specific to laptops. So please don't lock this thread.

Help, please. I have a...

Hello,

I have a Sony Vaio F-series -- all the basics work, but a lot of little stuff like the Sony keys, brightness, and the backlit keyboard don't work. I have found on the internet where the...

Nope, sorry. That didn't work.

bump - help please

Hello,

After a massive meltdown with the upgrade, I finally got the system put back together. Had to reinstall grub. It now defaults to a version that says "Generic - pae". When choosing this from...

OK - grub is fixed. Thank you.

New problem - now it boots to the UBUNTU splash screen and hangs.

So I entered recovery mode and followed the prompts - before I did that, it at least showed the...

OK -- but how do I get to sda1 if it is a hidden partition? It doesn't show up in nautilis.

OK, I found that grub folder with the .img files. It is on my partition that has the ubuntu install -- sdb, not sure which partition, though. Looks like my root folder though -- bin, mnt, home...

I never found it -- still can't find it. I think the aliens took it.

That is the folder I went into. It had the BCD log files, but there was no grub folder to be found there. It had all the language folders, too - so that is probably the one I should have been in. Is...

Here is what happened when I went ahead and tried the grub re-install:


ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=mnt /dev/sda...

OK, I've been using linux for 2 years now and this is the one stupid thing that continues to drive me nuts. I don't understand the relationship of how linux sees my physical drives - just when I...

Bump - anyone?

Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010

============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================

=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of...

sda2 is set as my boot partition -- that is where Vista resides.

Sorry I wasn't more specific. What I mean by "broke grub" is that I get no grub menu. When I boot from my hdd, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left - no grub menu - nothing.

I am working from a live cd now - upgraded last night and I can no longer boot. I have seen other tutorials for fixing this from a live cd, but I have 2 HDDs with Vista on sda (I only use it for...

This fix worked best for me, but now my sound is actually slightly ahead of the video by about half a second. Any way to manually delay or adjust the audio in veetle?

Well, I finally had some more time to work on this. Turns out SSH was the way to go. I got in through SSH and enabled the remote desktop. Connected to that and set up twinview in nvidia-settings....
