Update: I got it working once I installed the proprietary drivers for my Nvidia card.

I, too, am having difficulty getting this emulator running. I have 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 and installed from the ppa. When I try to configure the graphics the only option is for GSdx. When I try to load...

And that did it. Thank you kindly, oldfred. I had reinstalled grub from a live cd a few times, but once I got the OS going I had not tried reinstalling grub again. Thanks again!

I have my /boot directory installed on its own partition. When I tried to boot it went to <grub rescue> and when I checked the prefix it said


prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub
The problem is, that...

I am running PCSX-R 1.9.92 on Ubuntu 10.04. For most of my games my Logitech Dual Shock controller works perfectly (and is by far the best gaming controller I have found), but for some reason it...

Reinstalling seems to have fixed the issue for now. Still not sure what was wrong, though...

No one is having/has had this problem? Nothing? Can I provide any more helpful information?

I never did figure out how to adjust this, but I noticed that it is hardware specific. For instance, my mouse's scroll-wheel adjusts the volume by 5 but the volume knob on my keyboard adjusts the...

Update: same problem (though after a different time duration) when playing DVDs in VLC. I am using VLC 1.1.11.

I am having this same problem. The sound just cuts out after about a minute and a half. If I shut off the track and turn it back on it works for another minute and a half and then cuts out. Ditto...

I decided to try these directions one last time:

and now I'm back where I started. Grub waits and waits, and then tells me it can't find the root...

Well, fml. Apparently I am not even competent enough to install legacy grub from Live CD. Now I own a very expensive paperweight with Ubuntu hidden somehwere inside, which no grub can find.

Thanks for the quick reply, fred. Directions went smoothly until I typed:
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro

where I received the following:
error: file not found.

Did I totally screw up...

Okay, I still don't know what happened with that weird "something wicked happened . . ." but the next time I booted into the Live CD apt was working fine. I followed the instructions to the letter,...

garvinrick,

I'm on the Live CD now, following your wonderfully detailed instructions (fyi, I think that '/proc' and '/sys' are not subdirectories of '/dev' as you have them listed above; no big...

Oldfred, I had the UUID in there for most of the past week and it was giving me the same basic error ("no root found at . . ."). I actually hoped ditching the UUID would solve the problem, but no...

Ah, I see. Yes, I would like those files to be found. Do I need to do that from a Live CD, rather than from within the OS? Because I tried purging and re-installing GRUB by running:



sudo...

Thank you all for your detailed responses. I never thought of '\dev\sdb' being an issue, since it wasn't a problem under GRUB Legacy. First, I've been putting off formatting that drive as ext3...

I have been working on this for a week now, and I am still getting an error on boot up from GRUB 2.

It tells me "ALERT!! /dev/sda5 not found" basically. I've tried purging and reinstalling GRUB 2...

Yes, a helpful and informative link. Thank you, Zookalicious. Unfortunately, Plymouth still doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Thanks, Zookalicious. Do you happen to have a link to your solution? Perhaps I was unclear, but I've had this problem for a week and I just installed the Nvidia drivers this morning. But again,...

Since upgrading from 9.10 to 10.4 and then on to 10.10, I have only ever seen an uninspiring purple screen (current.jpg, except mine says 'Ubuntu 10.10') as my boot splash image. I have downloaded...

This is super trivial, but since upgrading to meerkat (after manually adding gnome-volume-control-applet back to the taskbar) my mouse-wheel adjusts the volume in increments of 5 instead of whatever...

Hey, alright! Speedy and effective work, mysterious developers! My sincere thanks.

I, too, am experiencing this problem. In addition, this morning it stopped recognizing my password and won't check mail.

I thought I'd try "checkgmail -update" again, just to see if that fixed...
