My bollocks are never free, but are reasonably priced considering their superior quality.

I hate paying for stuff that doesn't work, and they won't give a refund.

 

So I don't...

How the fuck do I turn off that stupid login drum noise thing in 11.10? And why do they keep changing where it is? And if I have to do a stupid command prompt thing I'll be grumpy. Still.

Thanks - I found various other ways but yours is the only one that's worked. It is absolutely ludicrous, but I guess that's Linux. Much obliged!

OK, fuck this. I'm installing XP in about 7 minutes + the amount of time it takes to burn the ISO.

 

So many simple little things just don't fucking work, Linux is still an amateur and unpolished attempt at a desktop OS.

If you really want to learn something about linux (and I'm not saying you do), try running it in a virtual machine for a while before you essay a bare metal install. You'd save yourself a lot of grief.

Linux/ubuntu issue.

 

How do I stop the Grub list from ever appearing?

 

It usually doesn't, but after a crash or power failure it sometimes does meaning I have to go in the attic just to press enter, it doesn't seem to count down as I would've expected.

Do you have a timeout value in /boot/grub/menu.lst ?

If not, try adding "timeout 1" (i.e. one second; no quotes) and that'll solve the problem?

No menu.lst file. I think it's because it's Grub 2 or something. I shall Google some more!

OK, but I have found the opposite. I have used Linux since about 2004, starting with Knoppix. My first install was Mint Bianca and have been with Mint ever since.

 

The biggest issue for me was always printing, because all I ever had was a stupid Winprinter. I got my Brother printer to fairly work by fiddling with drivers for hours upon end, but that all came to a halt (the printer fiddling anyway) when I bought a real printer, a Xerox Phaser.
