juppi | I'd like to boot trisquel from a live USB. However, my bootloader doesn't allow booting except the already existing ubuntu. How can I boot manually via terminal? | 20:42 |
mgedmin | boot media choice is up to the BIOS, it gets control before your bootloader | 20:45 |
juppi | ah ok, but already in the bios i can't set another boot source | 20:47 |
gonyere | juppi you should be able to change the boot order so that cd or usb is before your hdd | 20:59 |
juppi | exactly this is not possible | 21:00 |
mgedmin | strange bios you have | 21:00 |
mgedmin | so in theory I'm sure you can coax grub into chain-booting a USB key | 21:01 |
juppi | yes, indeed | 21:01 |
mgedmin | in practice it'll be magical incantations I'm too tired to research | 21:01 |
mgedmin | google and/or careful study of the grub manual might help | 21:01 |
mgedmin | personally I'd try to battle the bios setup | 21:01 |
juppi | jah, i tried too avoid that ;) | 21:01 |
gonyere | alternatively you may be able to press f12 or f10 or f2 to get a boot menu immediatly after starting up | 21:01 |
mgedmin | do you have a usb key plugged in before you entered the setup? perhaps it only lets you choose devices that exist? | 21:01 |
gonyere | and selecting usb/cd from there | 21:01 |
juppi | yes, all this i have done | 21:02 |
juppi | maybe the uefi blocks it | 21:03 |
gonyere | have you disabled uefi? | 21:04 |
gonyere | thats generally a first step | 21:04 |
juppi | i did before, but than nothing was able to boot | 21:04 |
gonyere | did you enable legacy bios after disableing uefi? | 21:05 |
juppi | no | 21:05 |
gonyere | try that | 21:05 |
juppi | yes, sorry | 21:05 |
juppi | i did that i mean | 21:05 |
gonyere | and it wouldn't boot anything? | 21:05 |
juppi | no, then there was a time slope, a loop | 21:06 |
mgedmin | uefi is a thing | 21:07 |
gonyere | weird | 21:07 |
mgedmin | I don't even know if my laptop has uefi | 21:07 |
mgedmin | seems recent enough (thinkpad x220) | 21:07 |
mgedmin | maybe I'm in legacy bios mode | 21:07 |
juppi | can i try anything with grub? | 21:08 |
gonyere | my laptop doesn't, but the hp desktop i bought my boys for xmas does | 21:08 |
gonyere | i had to disable uefi | 21:08 |
gonyere | and enable legacy boot | 21:08 |
gonyere | and then I could easily delete windows and install ubuntu | 21:08 |
mgedmin | juppi, something like http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Chain_002dloading.html | 21:09 |
gonyere | and i always have the option on boot up to press f10 or f2 to select a boot device... | 21:09 |
juppi | ok, I'm gonna try that, thanks | 21:11 |
