| chris4585 | morning wrst | 16:46 |
| wrst | how are you doing chris4585? | 16:47 |
| chris4585 | I'm alright, a little tired after installing linux several times tonight | 16:47 |
| wrst | several? | 16:48 |
| chris4585 | I updated my bios and I think either manjaro doesn't have the proper way of installing grub with UEFI support or my bios is being more strict? regardless archbang installed just fine with syslinux | 16:49 |
| chris4585 | yes, annoying I couldn't get grub properly installed and I tried several different things, which required reinstalling | 16:49 |
| wrst | hmm i don't know in know on the arch wiki there are some uefi instructions but never paid much attention to it | 16:50 |
| chris4585 | yeah well it was rather ridiculous... so I said screw getting manjaro installed tonight and went for what I knew worked | 16:51 |
| chris4585 | and this is the first time I've really used syslinux for an actual install besides liveusb | 16:51 |
| chris4585 | also keeping /home is very lovely | 16:52 |
| chris4585 | lol | 16:52 |
| wrst | never used it how is it? | 16:52 |
| chris4585 | it works, and I'm pretty familiar with it, the configs are a little easier than grub | 16:52 |
| chris4585 | usually you see syslinux in a lot of livecds, http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mGm-yWyTxPA/T7DdVuO0puI/AAAAAAAAANo/y5Pqpr7A-T4/s1600/syslinux_rm2012.png | 16:54 |
| wrst | i wonder how it hadles multiple operating systems chris4585? | 17:56 |
| chris4585 | wrst, it should be fine, but I've never had to set it to boot a partition, usually you just set the kernel and shiz in the config by the dir | 18:42 |
| wrst | hmm interesting | 18:43 |
| wrst | i might expirement sometime in a vm or something | 18:43 |
| chris4585 | let me know if you unlock some secrets | 18:51 |
| chris4585 | I still have to add winders to my config but I know it will be easy | 18:51 |
| chris4585 | I just have to uncomment some stuff lol | 18:51 |
| wrst | i must say grub is working just fine for me, i do need to get it to pick up my other hard drive now | 18:53 |
| wrst | i dread uefi | 18:53 |
| chris4585 | it isn't so bad, I really haven't had an issue since now and I think its a manjaro issue | 18:54 |
| wrst | as long as i can boot what i want i'm happy oh chris4585 ssd and systemd on arch boot is just about instant | 18:57 |
| chris4585 | wrst, lol I hear that and darn you, I really want one but I'll wait a while I think | 18:58 |
| wrst | the prices will no doubt get better and better | 18:59 |
| wrst | i may build another desktop sometime next year and if i do it will certainly be with one | 19:00 |
| chris4585 | I just want something that wont fail | 19:01 |
| wrst | that's the thing on the ssd i wonder about reliability | 19:03 |
| chris4585 | well as long as you use it for / and not /home, and leave out /tmp, and possibly /var, it should last way longer | 19:04 |
| chris4585 | because reading doesn't ware it down as much as writing | 19:05 |
| wrst | very true | 19:08 |
| chris4585 | I'm thinking about doing a flash drive setup somehow to hold over my desire for an SSD | 19:10 |
| wrst | i really do like it but enought about that, but arch on a spinning disk with systemd and kde works nicely also | 19:11 |
| chris4585 | systemd is kind of throwing me off | 19:13 |
| chris4585 | I'm not entirely used to how it works | 19:14 |
| wrst | i like it i converted two systems and i must say i like it | 19:14 |
| wrst | i do miss rc.conf | 19:14 |
| wrst | but pretty much systemctl start/restart/stop service | 19:14 |
| wrst | or sytemctl enable/disable service to stop/start on boot | 19:15 |
| chris4585 | yeah, but for gdm I've had to enable then start which threw me off | 19:15 |
| wrst | yes if you don't reboot | 19:15 |
| wrst | enable is like adding it to rc.conf | 19:16 |
| chris4585 | sorry about that, accidentally stopped slim without realizing I'd lose my xserver | 19:22 |
| chris4585 | lol | 19:22 |
| wrst | chris4585: actually using systemd reminds me of osx using launchctl load/unload etc | 19:29 |
| chris4585 | never used osx really | 19:29 |
| wrst | its not bad, i'm just not a fan of apple | 20:06 |
| chris4585 | same | 20:07 |
| * cyberanger is only a fan of Granny Smith Apples | 23:31 | |
