How do I switch back? [16:50] zerothis: grub [16:50] At boot you hold Shift... that will get you the GRUB menu from which you can choose your old kernel. [16:54] yup. the old kernel works. Now how do I make that permanent or otherwise prevent my custom kernel from being used? [16:55] zerothis: with grub :) [16:55] so what I just did as permanent? [16:55] was permanent [16:55] Use boot-repair. [16:56] !grub | zerothis [16:56] zerothis: 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 [17:00] Disregard the boot-repair "fix." I checked the options and it didn't have that. [17:01] i think I just had a duh, how about booting with the old kernel then uninstalling my customer kernel [17:11] I had that thought too, but I thought you wanted to keep the custom kernel... I guess not. [17:19] zerothis: If you want to keep the custom kernel but have the Lubuntu kernel be the default, then look at this solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/216398/set-older-kernel-as-default-grub-entry [17:56] JohnnyComeL8ly: thanks, but my custom kernel was compiled without support for my wireless card (doh!). It must go. I have gone back to the supplied generic kernel. Later I will try again. [17:57] thank you all for the help. === Guest16149 is now known as teward [18:28] I am trying to install ndiswrapper on a machine that I cannot connect to the Internet via Ethernet and I'm pretty sure it's the only way the wireless card is supported. There is a bug so that just installing ndiswrapper and its dependencies does not work. I want to try to compile it, but I've been tracking down lots of packages to get gcc up and going and moving them with a thumbdrive. Is there an easier way? [20:40] I have a macbook that is frozen it has lubuntu 14.04 what key combination do I input to shut it down? [20:40] or press rather [20:44] !reisub | Australopithecus [20:44] Australopithecus: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [20:45] also trying control alt f1 may get you to command line if just GUI froze [20:58] I dont have a print screen button @ubottu === Guest39965 is now known as rww [20:59] I am not sure how to do it now Australo_ but there was a way to configure it [20:59] there was a way but I forgot [20:59] it was some combination of alt shift fn and f1 [20:59] or f2 [21:00] cant remember its was my so's responsibility to remember it -_- [21:01] its where you exit the gui [21:03] think i figured it out thanks for the help [21:05] stuck with a hard frozen computer :\ === SonikkuAmerica__ is now known as SonikkuAmerica
