| OvenWerks | zequence: I tried both 32 and 64 bit. In both cases I was unable to boot non-uefi... in the 32 bit case it let me boot the 32 bit but gave me the grub menu from sda... and in 64bit it did boot, but I have no mouse either booting to live or install. | 01:04 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | The mouse works fine in 14.04 | 01:05 |
| OvenWerks | Going to the install boot gives a stock xfce screen. | 01:06 |
| OvenWerks | Ahhh, It could be because the USB mouse is going through a USB to ps2 converter. | 01:07 |
| astraljava | zequence: I can try, but seeing as a leaner distro gave me hell, I'm looking into trying to find 6 hours of uninterrupted time, unless I find the culprit for the sluggishness. I'll let you know, but I did check that all the required cases were reported. | 06:36 |
| zequence | OvenWerks: Yea, the usb mouse should work. If the touchpad doesn't that could be a problem with drivers. Some require non-free in order to fully function | 09:06 |
| zequence | As for UEFI, in my experience a lot of these new UEFI laptops have very different implementations | 09:07 |
| zequence | I have a problem booting UEFI mode on this laptop. Everything works with a fully free system (debian, without non-free), but UEFI boot does not work. Using legacy boot | 09:09 |
| zequence | astraljava: Don't spend too much time on it :). | 09:09 |
| astraljava | zequence: Nah. :) Otherwise the system seems to function without much problems (notwithstanding the GPU overheating), so I'm just gonna chulk it up to vbox incompatibility if it doesn't clear out quickly. | 09:12 |
| astraljava | zequence: elfy suggested checking kvm out, though. Will look into that. | 09:13 |
| zequence | astraljava: Don't think that will make things easier tbh | 09:19 |
| zequence | I just tried it a couple of days ago, and on this laptop - which is modern, but really basic, I can barely use it | 09:20 |
| zequence | vBox works a lot better | 09:20 |
| zequence | astraljava: Sure you have enough RAM? | 09:20 |
| zequence | The vbox will use the RAM you specify, and if that exceeds what is available, you get SWAP slowness | 09:20 |
| zequence | Also, make sure the hard drive is at least 10GB. Not sure actually what Ubuntu Studio requires. 8GB is not ebough | 09:21 |
| zequence | I usually go with 20GB | 09:21 |
| zequence | This laptop has a dual core, modern celeron processor. The GPU is modern, which makes the computer seem fairly normal. 4GB Ram | 09:23 |
| zequence | I can do one thing at the time so that I don't loose my mind. | 09:26 |
| astraljava | Oh ok, that's good to know. I think I should have had enough RAM for the operation, but I'll check again tonight. | 10:18 |
| DalekSec | zequence: I presume you saw 'Packaging ardour 4.0' in pkg-multimedia? | 22:15 |
