iwkseit expand/collapse10:41
pwnguinim not sure grub supports cascading menus10:41
iwksebut while booting i don't know how cause enter just make to boot10:42

iwksefirstly10:42
iwksei can press f12 for boot menu10:42
pwnguinso is this ubuntu software, or part of your laptop?10:43
iwkseit's not ubuntu10:43
iwkseit's a kind of function that laptops has10:43
pwnguinsounds like bios to me10:43
iwkseyes, that's it10:43
iwkseis a part of bios i believe10:44
pwnguinin which case it would help if you mentioned the model of the laptop10:44
iwksetoshiba satellite L20-25710:44
pwnguindoes left / right arrow keys do the job?10:45
iwkseno10:45
iwksein the bios it works with Enter10:46
iwksebut using enter too while F12 it will boot10:46
pwnguinwell, i can't really tell you much about software ive never used10:46
pwnguinmy tecra m7 has a gui system for that10:47
pwnguinnot very flexible or understandable10:47
iwksehow does it works?10:47
pwnguini hold f12 and it pops up with a row of icons and grey bars beneath them10:47
pwnguinone of the bars is highlighted orange10:47
pwnguinleft and right arrows move the choice, enter selects10:47
iwkseah, so it works with left right10:48

pwnguin(its a tablet pc)10:50
iwksei see10:51
iwksei'll try to write at toshiba support10:51
iwksemaybe it can helps10:51
pwnguinsupposedly they have a linux support team10:52
iwkseisn't related to any OS10:52
iwkseF12 is a bios functino10:52
pwnguinyea, you should probably just get toshiba to answer your question instead of #ubuntu-laptop ;)10:53
iwkse:)10:53
pwnguinhave you gotten ubuntu to run on it then?10:53
iwksewanted to ask here if anybody got the same stuff10:53
iwksenot really, i have debian10:53
pwnguini think the laptop team is pretty much mjg and his billion laptops10:54
iwksebut doesn't exists a debian-laptop channel:)10:54
iwksemjg?10:54
pwnguina person in this channel10:54
iwkseah10:56
iwksehttp://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/index.htm11:08
pwnguinit feels about as useful as a fan site11:10
iwksehave you clicked on upper button too before to say that?:)11:11
