I've had nothing but bad luck dual booting Dell computers lately because of UEFI. So if you want dual boot, you'll be better off with BionicPup and Xenial

I also tried this using palemoon and it did not work for me even after updating palemoon to ver. 28.0. I do have chrome installed on my pc as well though and that works just fine.

Look for "menu.lst" or "syslinux.cfg" files in your flashdrive and edit it.

look for a line similar to this: kernel /vmlinuz .................. pmedia=atahd and replace "atahd" with "cd" or add it if you don't see it at all

Openshot will not open at all, Doesn't matter how many times I start the program and it just crashes. Kdenlive starts and I can add a clip but when I try to load ...

Old Laptop - Black Screen [SOLVED]

Of course I'm having fun. :D As far as compilng. Never done that before. If there is a very straight forward guide, maybe I'll give it a shot. I'm waiting for his response if he still wants to spend $18 bucks for the nvidia card. If not, I will put the old card and continue searching for the right d...
