chainloading Grub2 problem?
Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:49:42 +0000
Last night I tried installing Ubuntu 9.10 along-side my default linux
install (Mepis). The install went fine, but Ubuntu overwrote my MBR.
Restoring the Mepis one worked fine, but now I can't chainload
ubuntu.
Ubuntu is on the /dev/sda7 partition and the grub entry I have is:
root (hd0,6)

Best hardware probing live-distro?
Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:08:53 GMT
I've just bought an Acer Aspire Revo R3610 "net-top" computer (at only
¡ê160!) with Linpus Linux preinstalled. Unfortunately, it's only driving
my 1920x1080 Asus VH242H monitor at a resolution of 1024x768, and offers
no higher resolution, despite being connected by HDMI. I'll replace
Linpus with another distro, b ...

I have a hard disk with multiple operating systems on it.

installation trashed rather more of Bootitng ...

Slightly OT - Broken page
Sun, 1 Nov 2009 10:54:49 +0000
Can someone using ukfsn try to reach this page:
http://www.kara-moon.com/index.php?modid=mod06&l_submenu_id=m001_06_01
When I try I get the basic fixed layout, menu bar and a blank white

subsections.
The page works correctly for friends on {spit}BT, ...

sound sample rate issue: alsa/jack (ubuntu 9.04)
Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:09:17 GMT

jackd -r44100 .......
That moans about locking down memory, but otherwise proceeds, and tells me
"creating alsa driver ..... |44100|....." and then
"configuring for 44100Hz...."
But when I try ...

I often perform the following sequence of steps: 1.use the left-mouse
to copy a text fragment, 2. then I open an editor and 3. paste the

editor as a file, 5. then I use enscript to print the file.
I guess however it should be possible to minimize a ...

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:41:05 +0000
I'm using fedora 11. The whole of the keyboard is working OK with the
exception the left shift key is distinctly dodgy. If I press down (take
up the slack) and the push some more I can get occasional normal
operation. Just the casual press down does not work.
Are there any X windows settings that may cause th ...
