    [ubuntu] Re: PHP5 Email contact form

    I'd just look at the return code first. I've used mail() quite a bit, and never had a problem. Of course, as the manual notes, you might succeed in sending but the mail doesn't reach the...

    [all variants] Re: Brasero unknown error

    [ubuntu] Re: Brasero Error while ejecting

    I've found that when one is failing in this way, they all seem to. And when one is working, likewise they all seem to. I really can't pin this one down yet.

    The first thing I would try, which you may have already, is

    You probably have it, but if not it's in the repos.

    I've never had multiple display cards, but this has a...

    [SOLVED] Re: Saving grub edits at boot

    Can't you manually edit the grub options at boot time by hitting the "e" key again, only this time on the recovery line? It should be the last time you'll have to do it if this works.
