Haiku Troubles, Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix steps up!

[exanto]

U sucks

Did you set your BFS partition bootable when installing?

[DirtyMidgetStudios]

Can you download torrents on the Netbook Remix?

[codeheaded]

yes of course

[TheJakeDTH]

Those icons have been done for a looooong time, and Canonical had nothing to do with them. They are the default GNOME icons, and most are vector graphics, so the scale beautify. You're an idiot.

1.The haiku error seems to infer that when your BFS partition was set up it wasn't marked bootable. On the newest haiku disc you can format a partition to BFS, but you have to hi-lite it and click "initialize" Therefore if you set up your BFS partition with an outside software the haiku installer didn't initialize it. 2. When dual booting ubuntu and whatever install ubuntu 2nd. At the end of the install ubuntu's grub GUI shows all OS's you can boot. 3.damn small linux site 4 flash drive tool.

Can you use Ubuntu netbook remix on a regular 15'' laptop?

[HHobo57]

yes you can

[BigJyeTV]

Interesting. I use Haiku in vmware.

[Vagmonster666]

great video, subscribed

[fenderbender91]

Btw chris, try Gparted to fix your sd card, mine had the same problem and it fixed it. :)

[dknoern]

Great video. Does anyone else think Chris looks like Turtle from Entourage?

[oimontheonion]

chris, can you verify if wifi is working correctly and consistently on ubuntu 9.10 on the eee 701? i heard some 901 owners complaining about that

[fenderbender91]

its working for me, just installed it and connected to two different networks :)

[RickyTomatoes]

OMG you're a trekkie!

After the CAS episode I got Haiku and threw it on a USB stick... (search for 'Install Haiku to USB stick from Windows') and it worked ok.. a few bugs here and there... but it is in alpha so can't complain.

However, my major gripe is that there is not much I could do with it. The only application on it I would likely use is FF but wireless doesnt work so...

Otherwise it is interesting but it still has quite a way to go. Also I feel the speed is because there is not much going on anyway...

If you are going to do a Ubuntu Software Store video, please check out the wiki page first!

Ubutntu 9.10 was awesome for me till Alpha 6. In Alpha 4 and 5 I was able to suspend (and worked fast) but as soon as I upgraded to Alpha 6 it's back to the way it was in 9.04 and previous version it won't come back up from suspend. Other than than, I think 9.10 is shaping up well.

[Danny77uk]

Ooh I gotta try Haiku on my eee.

[EnavSounds]

Wow such a big hand... like michael ordan wow

[r0wd3]

Just a small laptop.

[derhundchen]

you could try kubuntu netbook remix? It would be nice see how does it do on a netbook.

[Yupiyeahs]

Wow... you've got a 29 inch hand?

As jeffreyparke said: Press the spce bar before the bootscreen shows up. Now my part: Disable DMA in the safe boot options and it should boot. Slow, but at least working.

[jeffreyparke]

haiku comment: Press the space bar before the loading screen shows to get fail safe options. maybe one (or many) of these options can help you get it booted.

[fadetoblackone]

Haiku wont add itself to the boot loader. You have to manually do it yourself. You can use the usb stick you used to install it to load into it but thats not a fix.

I haven't seen an American Megatrends BIOS boot screen in 10 years :)
