riddler | hi guys | 05:10 |
riddler | I have lubuntu installed, but I would like other distro in my laptop like PuppyLinux or sLiTaz, but I want it so that the grub is in lubuntu | 05:11 |
Unit193 | Just don't install grub when you install the other system and run os-prober in lubuntu | 05:14 |
riddler | oh ok, and how do I do that? | 05:15 |
bioterror | sudo os-prober | 05:15 |
riddler | that will automatically show grub2 when i restart comp, and then when i decided to remove other distro, it wont mess up the boot rite? | 05:17 |
bioterror | remember to clean your grub from junk then | 05:18 |
riddler | ok how do I clean the grub | 05:19 |
bioterror | by removing the not wanted OS's from it | 05:19 |
bioterror | /boot/grub/grub.cfg if I remember right ;) | 05:19 |
riddler | oh so even if i remove the other distro, it will still show in grub? it wont remove it automatically? i have to do it manually? | 05:20 |
bioterror | just like boot.ini in Windows systems | 05:21 |
riddler | alrity | 05:24 |
riddler | thnx | 05:24 |
bioterror | os-prober could remove it | 05:24 |
bioterror | but we're not sure with Unit193 | 05:24 |
bioterror | you can give it a try after removing partitions | 05:24 |
riddler | ya i will, be back, if things go smoothly :) | 05:30 |
riddler | hey guys im back | 07:24 |
riddler | i installed PuppyLinux, log on back to lubuntu and did the 'sudo os-prober' command, it says /dev/sda3:unknown Linux distribution:Linux:linux | 07:27 |
riddler | I reboot and I don't see the grub2 bootloader, instead I booted directly to lubuntu | 07:27 |
Unit193 | Open a terminal and type sudo nano /etc/default/grub and make this line look like #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 | 07:29 |
riddler | i put # next to that stuff rite? | 07:31 |
Unit193 | Correct | 07:32 |
riddler | ok I did that, but how do I save and exit, it says on the command on the bottom ^X it just type onto the file | 07:37 |
b3n3 | riddler: u also can use your fav editor like vi or joe to edit the /etc/default/grub | 07:41 |
Unit193 | ctrl+x | 07:42 |
riddler | b3n3: oh ok thnx for the tips | 07:43 |
riddler | Unit193: thnx dude got it now | 07:44 |
riddler | i did update grub, im gonna reboot now brb | 07:45 |
nkznzf | @nkznzf | 07:52 |
riddler | ya it work, I can log onto the other distro fine, thnx Unit193 :) | 08:07 |

micahg | just a hint that someone might want to fix the lubuntu-desktop depending on lightdm-greeter-example-gtk, it's changed to lightdm-gtk-greeter | 16:12 |
micahg | otherwise lubuntu-desktop will be removed on dist-upgrade now | 16:13 |

micahg | gilir: ooh, you copied my pidgin-microblog change :) | 21:42 |
gilir | micahg, yes :) | 21:43 |
micahg | so, is lxdm lighter than lightdm, or you just want something that works ATM until you can provide a conffile | 21:43 |
gilir | it was a good idea :) | 21:43 |
gilir | micahg, just waiting for the conffile | 21:44 |
micahg | cool | 21:44 |
* micahg wonders if that would work for xubuntu, does lxdm work with xubuntu? | 21:45 | |
micahg | oops | 21:45 |
micahg | I meant with xfce :) | 21:45 |
gilir | micahg, it could probably work, but you need to provide a configuration file :) | 21:46 |
micahg | ah, I think more work that it's worth at this point | 21:46 |
gilir | yes :) | 21:46 |
* phillw waves to the boss :) | 21:58 |
