[00:07] hah told you it was UEFI TheSchaf [00:09] Thanks for all your help and being kind! [00:09] no problem :) [00:09] glad you figured it out! [00:09] that's certainly a weird one [00:11] Now final decision time: Lubuntu or Parrot Lite. [00:13] Have a great day guys! [01:36] So how often does the installation process fail when it comes to installing grub? [02:05] Felix_Amore: what version is this again? [02:05] Which thing are you asking about? [02:06] Felix_Amore: lubuntu. [02:06] Well, uh. I'm trying parrot lite first. And they don't have an irc channel to bother so I'm here <.< >.> [02:06] XD [02:07] there's always ##linux [02:08] Well they said update my bios, but thats difficult to do without an operation system on the machine. The bios update from acer is a .exe and I'm not running that on my non-acer machine. [02:08] yeah BIOSes are no fun [02:08] i have one that i was faffing with for a while with FreeDOS and what have you to get it to go. no luck yet. [02:09] I got far enough to format the whole drive, so now my new laptop has *no* operating system. [02:09] yay! :) [02:09] well i guess that's the first step in wipe and replace hehehe [02:10] It is. [02:20] well going home. leave a message if you're still stumped. someone will get back to you :) [02:39] Well, at least lubuntu also fails at downloading grub. [04:28] d === mike_ is now known as Guest53128 [04:31] i am trying to install lubuntu on an old xp machine and can't boot from disc [13:59] Hi all, I'm trying to repair my grub using boot-repair and it's failed at the bit where yo uneed to copy/paste commands into a terminal. The error message is "GRUB is still present. Please try again" and I've tried again, a few times. [16:47] Hi guys i have a GPU driver that lost support for ubuntu AMD radeon 6770m but was wondering if this works any good for lubuntu? [17:01] DoomJoshuaBoy: Lubuntu (and any other flavor too ftm) is based on Ubuntu, so.. no. [17:02] ok thanks anyway === PresidentPip is now known as Pipton
