Discussion
LinuxMint 10 here, and no sound. No luck installing,going to try another
No problems… yeah, with 10.04 maybe. I am trying to setup a dual boot on 10.10 64-bit and Intel-AGP is not working which causes Xserver not to work.
I'm running PCLOS 10 Gnome. The webcam works with Skype and Gyachi with no problems. Have had issues getting ethernet and wireless. Adobe flash crashes about every time you try to go full screen. Works fine on normal window.
Webcam works flawlessly. Wireless and all others are fine, except the sound. My Operating System is Debian 5. My Kernel is 2.6.26-2-686.
Just dropping a little information.
