and why not try what those notices tell u to do, the first 1 says u have obsolete packages, so update them the normal terminal way

for xorg, use gedit to view the xorg.conf file naw and see if u can set the variable to true.
xorg.conf is in /etc/x11/

hmmnn, i dont understand, did u update or upgrade 9.04? can u boot into 9.10? if u can it would seem u have a mish mash, if u can boot up, try using terminal to do updates. check what version of grub u have, that should take care of the kernel ish. u need to be on grub2

if u can also boot in, i suggest u backup immediately.

all those things that wont work should be solved by updates, there is already a no of updates for 9.10

oooooopppppppsssssssssssss! my bad, absolutely my bad! did i mention that before attempting any upgrade u need to complete all updates in update mgr?

am so very sorry, BUT YOU NEED TO UPDATE EVRYTHING B4 TRYING TO UPGRADE ESPECIALLY GRUB.

u have to upgrade grub to grub2 else ur install will break!! and the cd wont do the update, neither the online upgrade, that is the cause oof 90% of the upgrade issues. but grub2 is in the repos!

@lynx were u doing a background upgrade or u went completely into cmd line? if you manage to boot that install, try updating b4 trying that upgrade again o!

am so sorry! skipped my mind

Wetin b all dis? Una no see dose my speeds wen i bin get 4 my ubuntu like 3 wks back? Try go back a few pages. N dey is not photoshopped, abi photo shop dey ubuntu, i no even sabi dt tin anyway. They 100 pcent real!

Humph, wat happened? Did it freeze? I op u hav a seperate home partition. Hw come oooo! Keep us posted real time

EHN? U NO DEY HEAR WETIN WE DEY TALK SINCE? DO NOT UPGRADE VIA NET OOOOO!!!!!!!!! HA!
it will not upgrade grub and a couple of things anyway and most complaints are from upgrades online, i think the mish mash of stuff is causing issues.

u can upgrade from the alternate cd and not the live cd.

u knw wat try it live and try out all ur hardware, as in really try to stress it, do kooky stuff, like connect online, inject a module, try the apps, it will be slow but just to see, if it works i dunno, maybe u have a spare partition, or u have a seperate home folder, cos in case u knw u gonna have to format ur os to downgrade properly in case of yawa.

but then as iv said, if u didnt hav issues b4, it most likely willbe flawless. then did i add that u can now syncronise the time online? really missed that with all my experiments with apps, i often hav to change the time or zone so getting the right thing back used to be a pain, esp for tor

abeg the thingy is stable jare.

ok first impressions. av not had the opportunity to test the thingy but my 10 mins with it, first impressions.

eye candy- they are finally attempting to compete with KDE, mark my words ATTEMPTING! but really the interface is a lot finer, the start up thingy ma bob is finer, smoother, the new themes, though i do not just see how for anybody ORANGE AND CHOCOLATE IS A COMBINATION! as in reallyyyyy!!!!!!
well a few clicks of the mouse and its looking better in blue

FAR BETTER MOUNTING OF DRIVES, yes o, this one is far better!

FASTER THAN JAUNTY. yup it is faster than jaunty, starting up and performance!!

the new software center, great in my opinion, but i think linux mint outta get credit. that was a knock off off the idea in mint.

new apps, it now comes with GParted gui in the os, and it also has a new utility for disk management, gui! and can handle any fomart on earth and the moon.

better reporting of errors and crashes. it diagnosed my hard drive sharp sharp, the same hard drive i run jaunty on o! too bad am looking at a new one soon apparently.

generally, take it from me, on my pc this thing worked flawlessly, maybe when i start to stretch it, it will start complaining. but from here its cool.


u kn dis was meant to be and is a great improvement on jaunty. and canonical is hell bent on going the gui way for ease of use. very soon pple like weaver will be hating the system becos they cant "sudo bla bla" anymore

but u cannot fault them, in a world occupied by winblows, a competing os has to usable by illiterates! at least to point and click.


u know if canonical had just about chosen not to be so bleeding edge and waited for other pple to test run all the new thingys like grub 2 and gnome , we would be celebrating the best distro ever released. conservatism has its uses u knw!


anyway, good news is major patches and upgrades are close to being put in the channels for all the complaints, apparently a lot of angry distro makers have been calling up the gnome project folks e.t.c and they promise repairs soon. as soon as in two weeks or less!

the way the thing is, if u neva had any major issues with jaunty on ur pc, ur very likely in the clear, a lot of pple are coming out to report all clear!

somebody pls tell all the noobs to stop whining in the forums, i had one fool complaining y he doesnt like it is cos his video card did not work by default and thus the thing was a failure. this an NVIDIA card that he need drivers for o! click and download!!!!


bottomline, this versions MINT will be the BOMB! by then we p

i finally pulled the thing but it will have to wat till the wknd. im too sleepy. i put it in the system and fell asleep somewhere in the middle of when it was loading up and my pc still hasnt blown up!!!! surprise surprise.

8 the eye candy in the new boot sequence try sha, gnome don dey fine wel wel ooooo!!

hey there u are! well yes naw grub2! and its not ubuntu pple that are doing it o, its whoever is responsible for grub. but that grub2 has been tested extensively and most distros are adopting it in next releases so i dont think its the cause.

and a part of the problem has been traced, its from gnome project folks! even mandriva 12 has all the same complaints, identical complaints!

hooray! well its not as if the issue is critical like that o! but i fink a lot of pple are having issues with upgrades of gnome!

i am going to try it naw! as soon as i get to complete my download. zain has gone kaput on my head oooo! hw im regretting not sticking to glo! the download sloooowwwwww!
abi u have it?

ROFLMAO. ewu ooo! guguru's for nl.
LWKMD.

Timaya don blow oooh oooh! He don kpolongo ooh ooh

when una don get the answers tell me oooo!

why una dey castigate the guy naw? na wetin him see him talk!! why the babe dey put weave all the time, inferiority complex? her hair has NEVER BEEN GUD JARE!!!!

me sef no dey like the thing. i cant stand the smell!! imagine these women no go put water for head for months on end, GOD!!!! that is really dirty. one was telling me they put pink oil! pink oil ko, yellow oil ni.

I guess d pc's bios has to support booting from usb. Change d boot order to usb 1st.

Format d flash, then copy d iso, note iso image!, itr just a single file, not many o. Do not copy d contents of d cd o! Os'es come as .iso images. Its just dt when u put in d cd, d file mgr lets u c d contents.

Copy d .iso image of mint into d flash, only d iso, plug it in restart. It shld work. If not we see hw far. I do winxp dt way anyway. Neva tried linux.

ok ok, sorry ooooooo!!!! dont worry i will be hooked up frm 2mrw so u will all be rid of me 4 some time, but i want to do a frugal install of puppylinux on my pc that has only win xp, i copied out the files and now iv gotten to the grub entry part, but there is no grub obviously, what do i do?

na true o lynx, those speeds on edge? ha, 2day for my end the eti no try naw!!! abi u don get correct digits?

oya lynx, dis 1 u dwnllding with ur package all the time e be lyk u don dey do the dew ooooo, some hw some hw, abeg inbox me guy. no do chop alone o! all the times u post these days its with screenshots of u downloading, on top 3 gb?

inbox me guy, inbox me

Ah i rmbr u, n i dont rmbr telling u to get anor os!
Hmmn, now dt u and ur advisers have succeeded in foolin urselves, maybe u shld go back 2 that thread n read carefully, cos quite clearly u didnt 4llow d reasonable tips given 2u dere. U pple jst always blive formatting cures all like beheading cures headaches.


Suffice 2 say, u are about 2 hav hardware failure, hopefully just 1.
I dunno if dell bios has diagnostic tools, if it has, use it. Or else u could use external ones.

Personally i thinj its ur hard drive or ram or both. But of course u need 2 diagnose. I rmbr tellin u dt u be prepared 2 buy a new hard drive! Processor no dey spoil like dt n even at dt it wont be a gradual thing. But right now d stress u givin it 2 compensate 4 d oda bad parts is killin it.

Anyway, d advice is free, so ur on your own!

Dt eti dey stable sha! N reasonable too. 3g? On a long thing,

Is this windows based?

yeah, after read one u make a lot of sense! u could make a living writing guides for noobs u knw!!!!

to the koko, that line about editing fstab, ok cant i use that to mount an external drive permanently too thogh it will be removable? remember when i had issues with an ntfs external drive. the damn thing did not show up anywhere. i couldnt even have done the above magic cos it did not show up, even though i had all those ntfs packages installed! tseew. was gonna format it to fat but for the fact that i had no where to back it up to. it had like 170gb of movies!!!

ok so i have to crate as many partitions as i intend to fill with distros plus an extra for home. resizing an already existing partition is fraught with dangers like in windows shey?

dis gig takes a bit to get used to o, and i thot the philosophy of criminological schools of thought as it has evolved, was difficult!!!


am just being patient ni o! i will get to that kernel part around december by my schedule

hmmmnnnnn! DA DON WEAVER!!!!! YOU WILL AMKE A GURU OUTTA ME YET!!!

thanks a mill. mostly not confused, mostly!! will copy out this stuff and arrange it then see, as in SEE.

hmmn ok ist thing that stands out is this, dis sound stupid but when i boot ubuntu for installation i dont rmbr seeing an option asking for writing grub to mbr or odawise?? maybe my memory fails me but in case am right, what gives?

"as for the multiboot thing i only install grub on the mbr from my prefered os subsequent installs of other oses are installed to the mbrs of their partitions; after which i open /boot/grub/menu.lst (both of the newly installed diostro and of my preferred distro ) and i copy the line that cooresponds to the newly installed distro and paste in the menu.lst of the preferred one. i know it seems a lot of wahala but once u've done it once or twice it's not so difficult again
"

there truly are many ways of doing the above but what always stuck was the one i saw of just copying out the contents of the menu.lst of 1 distro and adding it to the menu.lst of the preffered boot loader! i guess this does the same thing?

then the part about changing a subsequent /home, that is not sumtin i wanna try, period. id rather start from scratch and do it right, easily. but ok so to figure out in every distro how to specify the home partition, hmmn!!! ok

but truth be told i dont like that installer in ubuntu, for me it gets wierd, moving tabs and colors, i just get confused. often ending up with a part of the hard drive not showing up anywhere!! lol. GUGURU LIKE ME. Thats what i will call my own distro, guguru linux!!!! really, that partitioning tab thing is iffy. i think i get gparted and burn to a cd for that task henceforth. op that interface is better

@ flyuche, THATS THE POINT!! what do u pple do with ur computers? i sure as hell dont stare at mine everyday. i even do a bit of hardware too. its meant to be experimented with! esp inux! so many things to learn, esp if ur a noob with no computer background!!! hehehehehe notin do me, a new hard drive is usually the penalty

HA HELL NO! aint taking none of that! so she now wants to chop the goodies alone! e no possible jare.
that one na just female wiles to cheat me. if i could donate my gal to the baba alaiye, then they had both beta make sure they roger me well. i honestly dont have a problem with such a scenario, but baby gal must give me returns o!

pls where is weaver? u folks want this thread to die o!

first thing is sha answer my question about the multi-booting

nah, u very right. gays are very right to be gay and its not a sickness, its just a mental affliction from which there is no remedy.

are u even listening to urself? u are complaining that society shld not censor such act cos thats what they like as adults? then we also should not censor pedophiles cos thats what they like!!! and dont give me any tripe about age and guardianship, since we should not censor ur sexual preference! there exist pple who only get hardons when the see kids! dont they have a right to get laid? and there have been times when pedophilia is consensual!!!!

the girl akon shagged was consensual!!!!!!

stupidity is not a virtue, stop masking it with pseudo-intellectualism.

ok ok, so since we are supposed to be reduced to what works for us sexually simply becos we are adults, pple that have sex with their goats and dogs have rights too!! no judging them too. the man is adult, the dog is adult. and tghe dog shows his approval by setting his arse properly and howling in pure bliss!!!!

U ARE ALL CRAZY, gays AND gay APOLOGISTS!!!!!

i wonder what one of these assholes will do, thats assuming they straight anyway, when a gay walks up to him and says, hey baby, u so fine, u wanna come clubbing then home with me? then when u say no sorry i dnt swing that way, the gay says awww, he's playing hard to get, i will get his phone number and start calling him and toasting!!

very soon to walk the streets will be a problem for men simply cos of crazy fcuks like u pple,.gay come across to toast me? i would lead him on while trying not to puke to a dark corner then kill the bastard!

i see u have started manufacturing materials that animals are gay too!! gawd, PLS SOMEBODY SHOULD RAISE HIS HAND AND TELL ME WHEN IN ALL THE YEARS HE OR SHE HAS BEEN ALIVE HE HAS SEEN A MALE DOG, U KNW BINGO INCLUSIVE GO AFTER THE ASS OF A FELLOW BINGO? OR UR NEIGHBOURS COCKREL GOING AFTER ANOTHER COCKREL|
