| totally-new-user | hello :) | 22:06 |
| JonathanD | Hey. | 22:07 |
| totally-new-user | So I'm dual booting Windows 7 ult and Ubuntu precise pangolin and was wondering if | 22:07 |
| totally-new-user | lol hey again JonathanD | 22:07 |
| JonathanD | (again) :) | 22:07 |
| JonathanD | totally-new-user: you'll find I am everywhere. | 22:07 |
| totally-new-user | is your username a Doctor Destiny reference? JonathanD | 22:07 |
| JonathanD | It is not. | 22:07 |
| totally-new-user | ah | 22:07 |
| totally-new-user | anyway | 22:08 |
| totally-new-user | "/etc/default/grub" you say... hmm | 22:08 |
| JonathanD | I think so. | 22:08 |
| totally-new-user | through the file manager or terminal? | 22:08 |
| JonathanD | well, you're new to ubuntu I gather, so use the gui text editor :) | 22:09 |
| totally-new-user | i see, what language is this grub file written in? | 22:10 |
| totally-new-user | C? | 22:10 |
| JonathanD | i's plain text. | 22:10 |
| JonathanD | there should be a timeout value in it. | 22:10 |
| totally-new-user | GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" | 22:11 |
| totally-new-user | ohh that didnt paste as expected lol | 22:11 |
| totally-new-user | probably | 22:11 |
| totally-new-user | change "GRUB_TIMEOUT=10" ey? | 22:11 |
| JonathanD | Yup | 22:12 |
| totally-new-user | does setting it to "0" make it start instantly? | 22:13 |
| JonathanD | I haven't tried it | 22:13 |
| totally-new-user | ah I'm dual booting on a 500GB 4GB Ram somewhat old inspiron laptop | 22:14 |
| totally-new-user | I'll just set it to 30, more than enough time to test stuff out. or maybe zero if i find out that means no timeout time or something | 22:15 |
| totally-new-user | so to anyone else here | 22:15 |
| totally-new-user | my issue was just adjusting the main boot screen more to my liking | 22:16 |
| JonathanD | so you know, if you want to re-arrange it... | 22:16 |
| JonathanD | you'll find windows is not in the list | 22:16 |
| totally-new-user | so it starts up and the BIOS screen goes and then the purple Ubuntu boot menu with the boot options, normal Ubuntu being at the top and Windows at the bottom | 22:16 |
| totally-new-user | hm why isn't the command "vbeinfo" working when I type it into the terminal line? | 22:18 |
| totally-new-user | do i need to install something? | 22:19 |
| totally-new-user | hmm and i also can't save the grub file, says i need permission but I am the only user and the admin | 22:20 |
| totally-new-user | using gedit | 22:20 |
| totally-new-user | *save the changes to grub file | 22:20 |
| JonathanD | you need to sudo it, probably. | 22:21 |
| JonathanD | I don't often sudo gui things, so I'm not 100% sure how to do that properly. | 22:21 |
| totally-new-user | i see... what would i need to type into terminal for sudo access to the grub? | 22:22 |
| totally-new-user | something like... "cd /etc/default" | 22:22 |
| totally-new-user | ? | 22:22 |
| JonathanD | you can try nano, it's a pretty user friendly CLI text editor | 22:23 |
| JonathanD | sudo nano /etc/default/grub | 22:23 |
| totally-new-user | oh wow okay | 22:24 |
| totally-new-user | so i've changed the 10 to 30.... now what? exit and run "update-grub" ? | 22:25 |
| totally-new-user | or save it while in nano | 22:25 |
| totally-new-user | what does "^X" mean? | 22:27 |
| JonathanD | ctrl x | 22:29 |
| totally-new-user | i see, so upper left says "modified" so i ctrl x and then "update-grub"? | 22:29 |
| JonathanD | yes | 22:32 |
| totally-new-user | sweet | 22:32 |
| totally-new-user | that's one issue down | 22:32 |
| totally-new-user | what's the best way to get help in your opinion JonathanD ? forums? I see a lot of idle users in here... | 22:33 |
| JonathanD | This is a pretty good place but folks are off doing weekend things :) | 22:33 |
| JonathanD | there is also #ubuntu | 22:34 |
| totally-new-user | lol this is my weekend thing xD | 22:34 |
| totally-new-user | thanks | 22:34 |
| totally-new-user | would it be safe to assume you're also in #Ubuntu? | 22:34 |
| JonathanD | Yes. | 22:35 |
| JonathanD | totally-new-user: I help run freenode, I am everywhere. | 22:35 |
| JonathanD | :) | 22:35 |
| totally-new-user | xD | 22:35 |
| JonathanD | totally-new-user: although I do in fact live in PA, which is why I'm in -nj and -pa | 22:36 |
