| Bonzodog | hi guys | 18:23 |
| Bonzodog | ok, so I am an ex-arch user who bought a brand new Acer 571 laptop which runs UEFI by default, and cannot be reverted to a legacy BIOS | 18:25 |
| holstein | !uefi | 18:25 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 18:25 |
| Bonzodog | I am currently using Ubuntu as the 12.10 installer can auto setup a UEFI install, but I am not happy with the idea of only having / partition. I have always used a seperate /home ince 1997 | 18:26 |
| Bonzodog | also, i want an ob based system, as its what I have used for a long while | 18:27 |
| holstein | Bonzodog: you can make what you like | 18:27 |
| holstein | Bonzodog: you can use the alternate installer... you can use the advanced part of the live CD installer. you can partition using what you like (anything esle such as gparted live CD) and install to whatever you choose | 18:27 |
| Bonzodog | my problem is I don know how to custom create a GPT disk | 18:28 |
| Bonzodog | I can manually setup and partition an MBR disk | 18:28 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallUbuntu11.10OnLenovoEFI/GPT/WLAN/Power/BIOS | 18:29 |
| Bonzodog | ah hah | 18:34 |
| Bonzodog | thanks guys | 18:34 |
| Bonzodog | I will also probably go onto warty | 18:35 |
| Bonzodog | as I am an ex Arch Multilib Testing user | 18:35 |
| Bonzodog | I liked living on the bleeding edge | 18:35 |
| holstein | warty? | 18:41 |
| holstein | !warty | 18:41 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) was the first release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30, 2006. See !eol for more details. | 18:41 |
| holstein | ^^ that is old and EOL | 18:41 |
| holstein | !raring | 18:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 18:42 |
| holstein | ^ s what you would go on to | 18:42 |
| Bonzodog | duh | 18:42 |
| Bonzodog | I mean the bleeding edge release | 18:42 |
| Unit193 | You'd have to seek support in +1 | 18:42 |
| Bonzodog | I thought it was codenamed warty | 18:42 |
| Unit193 | But could be interesting. | 18:43 |
| Unit193 | Bonzodog: Debian calls it sid, don't know what Ubuntu's devel would be. | 18:43 |
| Bonzodog | it used to have a seperate codename on the repos | 18:43 |
| wxl | #1. i don't think there are "codenames" per se :) like it's not insider information | 18:43 |
| wxl | #2. it's the latest, but it's not necessarily bleeding edge | 18:43 |
| wxl | #3. ubuntu went alphabetical in the 4th release: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)#Releases | 18:44 |
| wxl | will zesty zebra be the last ubuntu? or will it be celestial curassow? or will they just start over again? | 18:45 |
| wxl | next on unsolved mysteries… | 18:45 |
| Bonzodog | lol | 18:50 |
| Bonzodog | oh, it used to be that the repos for a devel release would have their own name, but it doesnt work like that anymore | 18:51 |
| Bonzodog | now you run updatemanager -d | 18:52 |
| Bonzodog | and it shows you the current devel release | 18:52 |
| wxl | well if you look in sources.list each source has the codename as an argument | 18:53 |
| wxl | so same repos, different section | 18:53 |
| wxl | i should revise that: same server, different folder http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ | 18:54 |
| Bonzodog | yeah.... | 18:54 |
| wxl | if you plan on hanging around lubuntu for a while and you plan on running the bleeding edge, you should join qa :) | 18:55 |
| Bonzodog | where would be the best place to ask about bumblebee | 18:58 |
| Bonzodog | This lappy is also an Optimus system | 18:58 |
| Bonzodog | but I have a game that has to have optirun bash put in first | 18:59 |
| holstein | Bonzodog: all those packages are for any ubuntu versions, so i might try #ubuntu | 18:59 |
