have idea why happening or how correct it. need virtualbox , truecrypt.
please note not experienced linux user, have used linux mint far in intel platform pc-s little time basicly all. please me, not want go using windows ....

did install proprietary nvidia driver? (i think dialog comes after installing ubuntu tell restricted driver available...did install driver or driver guide?

can fresh install, install each of sun virtualbox, truecrypt , compiz emerald themes individually find out software causes system act funny.
explain how installing these items? using synaptic/apt-get/aptitude or downloading these website?

hi community, in last days working on project using arduino mega 2560. on planning pin using found bugs in atmega2560-arduino pin mapping . if right there labels (such pwm) in 'mapped pin name' @ wrong row ( mixed pin numbers right one...) in attachment openoffice calc , pdf file corrected table.
