i have a mini 10 i am looking to use primarily for streaming music to my home audio system. can anyone let me know how the support for the Dell builtin wireless and sound are under Ubuntu 9.10? From what I have read it should not be hard to get either working...Thanks.

Your hard drive is damaged, contact dell for a replacement if you are under warranty. If not be prepared to buy a new one.<br /><br />Since you dont own a mini 9, and didnt say what kind of mini you own, I cant help you with which model to buy.

I turned my mini on one day and when starting my PC told me it couldnt find the operating system so I decided to install ubuntu as I dont have an external CDROM to do Windows.<br />After trying both methods listed here to the letter, I still get an error stating:<br />&quot;The ext2 file system creation in partition # 1 os SCS1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed.&quot;<br />Is something wrong with the HDD?

I've just bought the Mini 12, and I love the thing to death, but the built in Dell version of Ubuntu? Yea, not so much. I'm going to try out your method, thought I'm sort of afraid...<br /><br />Apart from the sound, everything should work the same, right? (Webcam, wireless, etc.)<br /><br />I don't want to end up killing the computer before I've actually lived with it.<br /><br />The Dell OS is

That disk is for Window Drivers not Ubuntu Drivers. In Ubuntu the drivers are built into the kernel, you do not need to install them after installation of the operating system.

Good job ordering your Mini9 -- it's about to be discontinued at the end of April. A new version of the Mini10 (internal Dell code name: Bear) will replace it, with the N270 proc.<br /><br />Late May Bear will be updated with the N280 proc and GN40 chipset, and then around September everything will be updated with Intel Pineview.<br /><br />Anyway, the bottom line is, if you want a Mini9, get it

Sean that was recommended for 8 and 16GB HDs. I'd give it more if I had an 32GB HD.<BR/><BR/>If you ran out of room just reinstall and make it bigger.<BR/><BR/>I don't have games installed except the default on my desktop and mini and am barely at 2.9GB for my /root partition.<BR/><BR/>It might be the games you tired downloading eating up HD space.

I have the 32gb HD, I gave myself 4gb for the root partition like you recommended, and left the rest for the home partition. The installation went flawlessly, installed Netbook remix the next day, also went fine. I went into the Synaptic Package Manager to download some games, and halfway through the download sequence, the remaining packages all failed. I gave up on it for now, and noticed I had

I just ordered my Mini 9 yesterday, with 2 Gig of RAM and 32 GB SSD. It should be arriving just about the same time as Ubuntu 9.04 comes out. I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04 on my desktop and loving every second of it, but this will be the first time I've used it on a laptop.<BR/><BR/>This tutorial and this website in general are awesome, so thank you very much! I'll probably wait until 9.04

@Bob<BR/>That SDD isn't for the 9. You have to look for a half mini PCIe card.<BR/><BR/>such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820609413<BR/>45 bucks.

Got a Mini 9 new from Dell 2 days ago w/ 8.04. Found my system always (100%) crashed attempting to connect to a WPA2-protected network. Have seen bugs reported on launchpad reporting same problem, and tried some of the workarounds suggested there (feisty_no-fluff, disabling bluetooth) without success.<BR/><BR/>So - tried running 8.10 from USB as described above. Very stable except encountered

Great tutorial! I, too, tried your way to get sound to work but still nothing. Could it be BIOS A4 that's causing no sound? I retried it, tried capitalizing "Dell" etc., etc. I added your line to the end with the "D" in "Dell" capitalized (in addition to the line you suggest and got some "noise" from Rythmbox radio but no sound. Any ideas?<BR/>Oh, and two other questions... is there a way to

Great guide.<BR/><BR/>I previously tried to install CentOS 5.2 to my Mini, but it paniced during the earliest stages of bootstrapping itself.<BR/><BR/>I installed a liveUSB 8.10 built under Windows, using an 8GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro. The build has a 2.6.27-7-generic kernel. Ethernet, wireless and fstab work, but sound still needs the fix. I don't have any Bluetooth peripherals, so I can't test

In regards to the sound fix. I think the people that are having trouble are forgetting to save the file after adding the line of code. The tutorial does not say to save the file before restarting the machine.
