Linux for your taste (sorry Naw :D) (34 Viewers)

Oh, ouch. Do you get something like a boot menu when you turn it on? If so, you could boot into what's called single user mode, which gives you a completely barebones boot (no graphical stuff at all) where you are the root user and you can edit the necessary files. Typical scenario for when you lose your root password or something like that.

i've stumbled upon the tutorial for using single user mode, maybe i'll give it a try

here is the error

Oh that's just a generic error screen, it doesn't say anything about what went wrong. The only thing it tells you is that it died with the signal SIGSEGV, which means segmentation fault, which is another way to say "big explosion". Basically the most serious way a program can crash. Those are also very hard to debug, because it's tough to determine where in the program it happened.

Basically if it segfaults you don't want it.

I've been trying out Basket, a KDE app, and I must say it is awesome. Needs some polishing though, and I hear that the maintainer is loosing interest...

my friend got a Toshiba Laptop and had problems installing Win XP. i had showed him my Ubuntu before and he was interested...

so installed it... hacked it to get his ATI card to run compiz... and pimped it with a few wallpapers and amaroK!





he's a happy man now!

Ubuntu users (and any other interested parties), it's 29 days to the official release of Hardy Heron. Which is your preferred method of getting the new kid on the block, distribution upgrade, or fresh install. And why?

dist upgrade preferably, least intrusive. If that fails I keep a full system backup and just reinstall&merge settings etc. It's lamentable that dist upgrades still aren't safe enough to not break your system.

 

[Chxta]

Interesting. Anymore takers?

Fresh install for me. Just a nice feeling

Perhaps a remnant of my Windows days.

Don't bother with Ubuntu anymore but a fresh install is always prefered for me.

You making some kind of poll, Chxta?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

fresh install. i usually dont have any important data stored on my Linux partition, so i just format it and do a FI.

besides, bulk updates, regardless of distro upgrade or program updates, it's never been successful for me and always ends up messing up my packages!

 

[JCK]

I do like Martin does.

 

[Omair]

I guess I'll do a fresh install too ..

didn't decide yet though
