I, too, am trying to get Picasa for Linux installed on a Mini 9, with the same error: "Wrong architecture". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the answer above jdeslip, but I've tried all the Linux version, and they all say wrong architecture. Must be something with the Atom processor...

I am disgusted and outraged by the fact that Dell is shipping their Dell Studio 15 with Ubuntu preinstalled and NOT VERIFYING THEY TURN ON before shipping them out. When my first Dell Studio 1535 arrived and would boot up to the "white screen of death" as it has come to be known, I figured...

[quote user="walterk46"] I just attempted to download the BIOS update. It is now up to A02. But it downloads with a .exe extension. Is this BIOS update only for Minis running Windows XP? (there was no option to select Linux, only Windows XP or BIOS) [/quote] http://en.community.dell.com/forums...

From what I can see, both here and atwww.mydellmini.com, they keep changing the location. I just (28 Nov 2008, 8:21 CST) FTP'd in and found it at ftp.dell.com/OS/Inspiron_910_Ubuntu_A00.img - but dont expect that link to last very long. MrElPresidente

card, a Radeon ATI
2400Pro PCI Express, so I can use dual monitors. When I boot up I get a screen after startup
saying : "Attention...

I just got a Dell Inspiron Mini 9. I bought it from someone else and wanted to erase the SSD and start fresh (4GB SSD with Ubuntu, 512MB RAM). I put in the restore DVD (Ubuntu 8.04+ LTS DVD, on a Buffalo Slim DVD-RW External) and followed the on-screen instructions. Everything was fine until I came to...

Hi, I am on an XPS m1210 laptop that I just upgraded to a full 4gb of RAM. I need to run a very high memory application so I need to use all 4gb, but the bios and Ubuntu only sees ~3.1gb. I built a custom kernel with PAE enabled, and also tried running ubuntu server (which has pae enabled by default...

Hello, I am wondering when you will update the kernel on models purchased BEFORE you started selling models with the option of purchasing 2gb of ram? As of writing this, those purchasing a new mini 9 have this option which means that you must have updated the kernel for these newer models. How can those...
