[01:04] <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.
[01:05] <OvenWerks> The mouse works fine in 14.04
[01:06] <OvenWerks> Going to the install boot gives a stock xfce screen.
[01:07] <OvenWerks> Ahhh, It could be because the USB mouse is going through a USB to ps2 converter.
[06:36] <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.
[09:06] <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
[09:07] <zequence> As for UEFI, in my experience a lot of these new UEFI laptops have very different implementations
[09:09] <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 :).
[09:12] <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.
[09:13] <astraljava> zequence: elfy suggested checking kvm out, though. Will look into that.
[09:19] <zequence> astraljava: Don't think that will make things easier tbh
[09:20] <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
[09:21] <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
[09:23] <zequence> This laptop has a dual core, modern celeron processor. The GPU is modern, which makes the computer seem fairly normal. 4GB Ram
[09:26] <zequence> I can do one thing at the time so that I don't loose my mind.
[10:18] <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.
[22:15] <DalekSec> zequence: I presume you saw 'Packaging ardour 4.0' in pkg-multimedia?
