Does a command exist to tell Ubuntu to boot to Windows by default @ startup? Thank you very much [02:06] !grub | ezrhino [02:06] ezrhino: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:06] ezrhino: you'll be able to change the default booting OS if you like.. i usually just disable the automatic timer [02:07] well i do like the choice though, i just want position 1 for windows [02:07] ty for that info as well [02:08] ezrhino: sure.. and, you can do that if you like [02:08] so i need to restore the GRUB? === jackson is now known as Guest1629 [02:08] ezrhino: no.. grub is fine.. you want to change it [02:08] http://askubuntu.com/questions/52963/how-do-i-set-windows-to-boot-as-the-default-in-the-boot-loader [02:09] oh ty [02:09] are yo military?

For instance, if I install it on my Dell, will I have driver issues? [08:00] cookiedavis: it depends on the hardware [08:00] If costs wasn't an issue for a laptop, what would you use? [08:01] it depends :) [08:01] system76 [08:02] or something dell ships with ubuntu [08:02] Really? The ship with Ubuntu? [08:02] Sysi, Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition [08:02] Like an AlienWare? [08:03] anything with intel integrated graphics and no-broadcom wireless should work sweetly OOTB [08:03] cookiedavis: what cfhowlett said [08:04] preferably something that still has legacy boot support (not just uefi) [08:04] That's impressive Dell is shipping out with Ubuntu. Wish Lenovo would do the same. [12:56] hello [12:56] I can't add an application to the menu [12:57] I specify name and command, but after pressing 'OK' no new launcher is created [14:14] Hey I just set up a second screen on Xubuntu 13.10, and I had to swap which sides the monitors were on, and it worked but it didn't apply to the log in screen. On the login screen I have to move the cursor off the far sides of the screen and it stops in the centre. [14:25] HELP AGAIN PLEASE: Still trying to get a full screen image without the fonts being stretched. Does anyone here know what i mean and how to get rid of the 'stretched' look on the fonts?

[16:36] ? === jono is now known as Guest52764 === ponbiki is now known as Guest63085 === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW [18:57] Hi there, how can I install last AMD Catalyst driver please ? :) [18:59] why can't I add new entries on the app menu? I go to right click on the 'start button', properties, edit menu, go to the relevant tab, press 'new element', I add name and command, press 'OK' button and nothing happens [21:13] question guys: Im running off the live usb and i cant access my volume control, is this normal or will i need audio drivers after install? [21:14] Broken_User: cant access volume control only? or have no sound at all? what are you trying to use to control the audio? [21:15] trying to adjust volume from... hell i forget what its called, the main bar at the top of the screen [21:16] Broken_User: so, you have sound or no? [21:16] hmmm volume does change when i use my volume control keys on my keyboard [21:16] i have to find something to test it with [21:20] yeah sound works [21:21] just volume control interface then [21:23] i think you need to install xfce4-mixer [21:23] using apt [21:24] shouldnt need to add anything.. i mean, you can if you want, but its likely the applet is pointing to something that is not controling the volume you want to control [21:25] i'll look into it after install finishes, worst case scenario i just use my hardware keys, thanks guys [21:25] or you can use alsamixer in a terminal [21:25] to adjust [21:31] this is getting frustrating... i've installed 12.10 several times, try to run 'sudo apt-get update', and receive 'E: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com quantal Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2' [21:32] i've checked the ubuntu forums, checked /etc/apt/sources.list,...

[21:36] i guess its got a few more months.. [21:36] 13.* doesn't play well with cgminer (litecoin mining rig) [21:37] mechanoid: could be your connection. could be the repos are just down temporarily. you can try the repos from the live CD.. no need to keep reinstalling [21:37] mechanoid: ok.. but, i would prefer 12.04 to 12.10.. [21:37] *nod* [21:37] LTS [21:47] oh wow, how embarassing... "could be your connection." unplugged from my wired work network, and connected to our guest wireless... A OK [21:48] mechanoid: cheers! [22:36] Hi there, someone here to help me install Xubuntu on usb key ? I did it but it doesn't boot (black screen with blanking cursor). Thanks [22:38] Dureiken: so, you used something like a usb stick or cd using the live installation iso to boot, and then choose a usb stick as the installation media? you reboot, and see grub on the stick? and no desktop loads? [22:38] I installed from a live usb key [22:38] on other usb key [22:38] I boot and I have black screen with blank cursor blinking [22:38] no more [22:38] Dureiken: you see the grub menu? [22:38] no [22:38] the blue one [22:39] with install/memtest [22:39] hello I can have internet in my xubunto [22:39] Dureiken: i would try and make certain grub is on the device.. the default would be to install to an internal hard drive [22:39] Robalinho34: nothing about xubuntu is preventing your internet from working [22:39] how could I do that [22:39] Dureiken: i would try boot repair from a live CD.. that recently sorted out an sd card i was trying to boot [22:40] I made 3 partitions ( ext4 / swap and ext4/home) [22:40] Dureiken: wont matter.. if you installed correctly, and its capable of booting, it'll boot [22:40] I'm booting on live usb key [22:40] Dureiken: you'll need a boot loader, and i typically want them on the stick [22:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:41] Dureiken: you can use ^^ from the stick to specify grub on the usb stick you are trying to install onto [22:41] i have conect the cabel to my net bord and nothing [22:41] I'm on live linux trying boot repair [22:41] Robalinho34: i would confirm the network is up, and sening dhcp requests and all that.. try that with another machine.. try a live CD on the hardware [22:42] ok [22:44] holstein : its repairing :) [22:45] holstein : thanks a lot it seems to work I saw grub this time [22:46] it works, I'm on xubuntu [22:46] Dureiken: cheers.. you might need to repair whatever the default installation may have broke on the main hard drive [22:47] how would I do that [22:47] I have black screen now :) I love :p [22:47] Dureiken: depends on what was on the disk [22:47] nothing [22:47] Dureiken: if it was linux, you can use the same tool from before [22:48] fresh install [22:48] Dureiken: im not following you [22:50] seems to work :) [22:50] but huge lags, maybe usb speed ? [22:50] Dureiken: that or the system.. could be anything.. [22:50] Dureiken: i wouldnt say "huge" lags about my usb stick installs [22:51] could I install last catalyst drivers ? [22:51] just downloading from website and use them ? [22:51] or I need dependencies ? [22:52] !ati | Dureiken [22:52] Dureiken: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [22:52] personally, on the stick install, i would go with the open drivers [22:52] the ones you are using right now [22:55] ok :) [22:55] is that normal that I can't install anything [22:55] I tried openssh-serv [22:55] unavailable [22:55] byobu, same [22:55] Dureiken: thats not a package name, so, sure [22:56] !info openssh-server [22:56] openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines.

[23:23] Dureiken: or, however you want to upgrade [23:24] Dureiken: its not a dist-upgrade.. you can, and are encouraged to research any commands before copy pasting them [23:24] dist-upgrade just upgrades all the packages [23:24] not the distro
