krytarikr4y, btw, I've set it up like shown in the example for "Lucid 10.04" in the guide I linked to in the morning.00:03
krytarikThat is, with the "$isofile" variable, so that I don't need to change it in two places when I want to boot another ISO.00:05
krytarik*-two-00:06
krytarikAnother BTW, be prepared that in the booted Live ISO you can't access the partition the ISO is located on.00:11
wytsaquick question for you guys, is there a setting in 'quickly' that would prevent someone from being able to edit labels? if so where can i find that so i can turn it off03:58
holsteinwytsa: what labels?03:58
wytsalike a label for a button04:32
wytsai was going through the getting started tutorial04:32
wytsa and the point i am to change the label on the button to name it refresh the option is there but it is faded and unable to be selected or changed04:32

r4yOK, I don't know of what I did that made the iso work but I am in Xubuntu08:41
r4yI could list the commands I used but I would have to do so from Ubuntu 10.0408:42
r4yI am not sure what I think of xubuntu08:42
duanedesignhmm09:00
duanedesignr4y: are tou dual booting?09:00
r4yI have one internal hard drive and no other09:01
duanedesignMeamming yo et a choice of which od to run?09:01
r4yyep, either os09:01
duanedesignUbuntu or Lubuntu?09:02
r4yI am running x and I was using Ubuntu 10 but x is 1209:02
r4yI think09:02
r4yI don't know how to tell but I think that it is 12.04 of xubuntu09:04
duanedesignLubuntu is a low resource verion  of UBUNTU. If you do not need it I xould judt go with Ubuntu. Lubuntu i another light distro I like  lot bettr.09:05
duanedesignHowere it soulds like tou are really clode09:05
r4yI should go back, if you want I can say what I did but I am not sure of what did it09:05
r4ywhat, sorry09:06
r4yclode?09:06
duanedesignyou say you mde the iso work. That mens you installe Xubuntu on your computrt09:07
r4yI need to test out somethings, but I also want to add more to the grub menu,like lubuntu and kubuntu to try out09:08
duanedesignbe aref ul unless yo have the space. The most communiway to dis is with virtual ,achines09:09
duanedesignmachines*09:10
r4yI am not sure if I like xubuntu just yet. I am pretty happy with Ubuntu 10.04 other then videos on the internet not working right for me regarding flash html509:10
r4yhtml5 works but09:10
r4yflash pepper never worked for me on 10.04  and 12.0409:10
r4yon google chrome09:11
r4yI really like firefox on top of that09:11
r4ybut ha who knows09:11
duanedesignofff wait.  I see on problem you are unning 10.04/ Tht is N OLDRELEASE09:11
duanedesignsorry cps09:11
r4yI said 12.04 with pepper flash didn't work under google cgrome for me09:12
r4ychrome I meant09:12
r4yI think however it could have something to do with motherboard but I could be wrong09:12
duanedesign10.04 is good until April 2013 (Desktop)09:13
r4yI have testing I should do, I had this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 where  everytime I tried to log in it would log me out until it finally let me in, then I figured out that this flat screen needed to be set higher then 60 hz09:14
r4ythen the problem went away09:14
r4ybut I haven't tested pepper flash since09:15
r4yI ended up using flash 10.309:15
r4yhtml5 videos worked unless I had flash 11 installed09:15
r4yThat's when it was suggested I try other version of Ubuntu, including upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 but like I said videos on the internet were still a problem09:17
duanedesignYou can upgrade from LTS to LTS. oPEN pckage manager ald sekect Edit > Softare ssources . Select 'Notify of New Ubuntu Versions09:21
r4yI am not sure how my other motherboard would fair regarding all this but it has a big problem where if flash the bios doesn't work then I have to replace it and in order to flash bios I need an 80 pin floppy disk wire andI have 4 40 ipn floppy disk wire, lol, life's just funny like that09:22
duanedesignNext to to run Update manager you will be promted to install 12.04. then from their you can get the latest 11/04. Maybe your bug is fixrd their.09:22
r4yI don't like Ubuntu 12.04 nad as I said the oly problem I want to fix doesn't get fixed when using Ubuntu 12.0409:23
r4yI am not sure about 11 though09:23
r4yhmm09:23
