Just use the method mentioned as preferred... Namely by using rc.local.
Code isn't scary in itself; only code without proper explanation is frightening. In this case, you can simply use...
OK, I see....
The line break for sda6 is probably the culprit. It should be one line, not two. Erase the line break and replace it by a space, so it becomes like this:
...
You probably did something wrong to the fstab line. If you post your fstab here, I can take a look at it:
gedit /etc/fstab
Can you use the Java Control Panel to throw away all remains of applets?
32-bit:
/opt/java/32/jre1.7.0_21/bin/ControlPanel
64-bit:
/opt/java/64/jre1.7.0_21/bin/ControlPanel
Unfortunately I can't check that, because I don't have that machine anymore. It was a SiS 671, but I don't know about the MX.
Did you check whether you've used the right files for your system...
I am the author of the how-to at Easylinuxtipsproject. Are you sure that you've applied the instructions carefully and with precision? Because I've applied the method described in that tutorial...
Thanks for reporting this issue. I'm the guy who maintains the Easylinuxtipsproject website, and I've added a warning to my SSD instruction, not to apply trim to a separate /boot/efi partition. :)
I am the author of the how-to at Easylinuxtipsproject. The cause of the problem probably lies in the new X.org that comes with 12.04.2 (it has not only the 3.5 kernel from Quantal, but also the X.org...
The kernel of 12.04 LTS (and it's successors) has become rolling:

Try disabling power management for the wireless card only:

No, this is quite new.
This one suffices, thank you.... :)
Revolutionary indeed. If only stability doesn't suffer... :-|
Don't install 10.10. It's long dead: no security updates. Using it is very dangerous.
Pick a supported version, for example 12.04 LTS. This may fix your booting problem for Windows, as well.
That's new to me... Such a kernel upgrade would be quite revolutionary for an LTS. Can you provide a link to a web page with explanation? :)
Edit: I've done some searching, but I can only find...
True, but the *overall* quality and reliability of an LTS is definitely higher. Note also that the core components come from Debian Testing and not from Debian Unstable...
Ubuntu LTS is the stuff...
Correct. I always advise to disable the Java or IcedTea plugin in the browser by default. Only enable it for the duration that you really need it, on some trusted website.
The fix may arrive...
I advise LTS whenever possible on the hardware:

LTS = professional quality. Intermediate = mere consumer quality. :)
Defective PPA... From Ubuntu Tweak maybe? In Oneiric 11.10?
In your place, I would see this as an incentive to upgrade to 12.04 LTS. Do it cleanly, like this:...
Add-ons are the usual suspects in cases like these.... Keep their number down to an absolute minimum. Don't turn Firefox into a Christmas tree....
Unfortunately not.... I suggest you do a clean upgrade to 12.04 LTS first, like this:

This may even be enough in itself to solve...

Often there are many ways to achieve a goal, neither of which is wrong.... As in this case. You can choose the one you like best. :)
Personally, I tend to favour the way that I think is the most...
Highly unlikely. I suggest you try first without one; if you can boot, you're allright. :)
No need for embarrassment; we all experiment and make mistakes in the process. Experimenting is part of the fun of Linux. :)
In my opinion a separate /home is useless, because for real safety you...
