| Pelo | LRP, if it were mounted in /media/ I think it would appear along side the cdrom and such but it would also appear on your desktop |
| Frog29 | Genii - the meesage is after grub, and the screen has busybox at the top, then "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" and then it has a prompt "(initramfs)" |
| Pelo | LRP, we'll beat the windows out of you soon enough |

| Frog29 | i had a few problems with grub though, i never isntalled it in the first install, so i went back, skiped the isntall, and just wen to the grub install and got it working after a lot more, but then it sends me to this screen, which i think is in ubuntu |

| scFrAcTAL_ | thanks flannel |
| grndslm | Pelo...sorry, my problem is with keystrokes repeating at random times when my keys aren't even being pressed...that was the clincher |
| billy | scFrAcTAL_: was "proxy" a response to me? |
| Frog29 | genii- the thing is i know ubuntu can boot! becasue as i said it did right after grub isntall, before grub errors |

| flake | sudo bin/hostname newname ? to change the default host name from (NULL) to the new name? |
| Flannel | !hostname | flake |
| Pelo | grndslm, sounds like a borked keyboard to me |
| ubotu | flake: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab |
| genii | Frog29: I am thinking actually that your initrd was not installed correctly |
| grndslm | Pelo: no, it only happens in linux |
