@NathanOsman I can't support you... I'm saying 2017 is the year of the Linux Laptop :p

Nathan Osman

Good luck with that. Hope you can wake your laptop from suspend >:)

(I'm sure you can but that was low hanging fruit :P)

is this on-topic (optimal BIOS settings)? askubuntu.com/q/865207/367990 I'd say it could be closed both as not Ubuntu or opinion based, but it's a grey zone

WinEunuuchs2Unix

12:45 AM

I dunno... Seems lately that if Windows 8.1 is shutdown then powered on to grub and Ubuntu versus Windows 8.1 restarted and going to grub and then Ubuntu... things seem to change but maybe I"m being superstitious here. Anyway I think BIOS is just as on topic as S.M.A.R.T. for HDDs or TRIM for SSDs.

I ended up CV'ing that one as answers would be too broad.

@NathanOsman well we just need a good office suite and more games.

@Serg Smokey testing. Necessary, because I think I broke deletion of alerts xD

@KazWolfe For all of ten minutes. Gotta test things :)

we needed a junk post to report on Smokey

Kaz Wolfe

mods get to guinea pig their site live? wat.

i thought that was what MetaSE is for.

Thomas Ward

:P

@KazWolfe Yeah, I know, right? :P

Kaz Wolfe

so i can do tests on this site?

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe Once in an eternity, yes :)

Kaz Wolfe

@ThomasWard but i'm technically a moderator. after all, the site is modded by the community, right?

Serg

I have a christmas question for you guys

Furry important

You know those holographic projector thingies that display slide show on a house ?

What are those called ?

Kaz Wolfe

yes. they're called projectors

Serg

that's it ?

Kaz Wolfe

yes.

they're run of the mill projectors.

@Seth true statement, but that's never ;)

Serg

Or maybe post a giant freakin warning in the chat THIS IS JUST A TEST and follow up with that annoying buzz sound

Seth

@NathanOsman all together know?

@ThomasWard no one noticed me do it :P

Kaz Wolfe

yeah. letting us know before we go all panic mode would be nice.

Journeyman Geek

this is only a test of the test testing test. Do not panic. We're testing the test tester

Kaz Wolfe

1:46 AM

o/ @angussidney

@KazWolfe Actually I found it kinda pleasant that I was able to mess with Smokey's code without being interrupted by noise :)

angussidney

\o, fancy meeting you here :P

Thomas Ward

but then I kinda pulled a power cable and had alarms all over the place so...

@angussidney :P

Kaz Wolfe

to answer your question, yes you still need a bootloader.

Something needs to load Linux.

Thomas Ward

2:26 AM

@angussidney ^ that - you need a bootloader to load Linux.

Kaz Wolfe

That doesn't mean your bootloader needs to be responsible for Windows, too. If you have UEFI, that can take care of the division. But you'd need GRUB no matter what.

Thomas Ward

^

angussidney

Oh, true

Kaz Wolfe

hell, even windows has a low-level bootloader, technically.

Journeyman Geek

@KazWolfe I've never seen that setup on a single drive

Kaz Wolfe

2:27 AM

but it's just easier (usually) to let GRUB manage everything. no buttons during boot, etc.

angussidney

2 secs, let me unplug unneccessary hard drives and restart the installer

Kaz Wolfe

and grub will (by default) take over the entire boot procedure, because it can.

Thomas Ward

wow, okay, I'm at +230 rep since my single answer on Ask Ubuntu earlier today xD

Kaz Wolfe

@JourneymanGeek I use it to get into OSX (occasionally)

Journeyman Geek

I typically do do seperate drives per OS tho

@ThomasWard oh new UTC day has started, time to activate my sockpuppets to upvote you again

Thomas Ward

@edwinksl and I will torpedo your socks

Enjoy the flaming wrath from above

angussidney

Back now. Okay, so here is what I want to do: I have an SSD which has windows installed on it, and a spare 320GB hard drive which I'm going to install 16.04 on. My original plan was to leave my SSD as the default boot device, and use the F11 key at startup to override the boot order temporarily to select the hard drive with ubuntu on it.

However, you are suggesting that I use GRUB to select windows or Ubuntu at startup?

Thomas Ward

2:39 AM

@angussidney yank out the SSD, install directly to the hard drive, then your BIOS selection will still work

put the SSD back in, choose primary drive in firmware, might work right (probably will)

god this instant coffee is crap...

how do people drink this sludge...

edwinksl

@ThomasWard hahahahahhahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahhahahahaha

angussidney

However using grub does seem like a better way to do it, so how should I go about setting it up? I'm currently at the custom installation page.

Seth

just leaving this here for posterity

Thomas Ward

@IanC hi ! SSD started working again by itself. I don't think it's SSD problem. badblocks command didn't report anything. Something else may have happened, and I don't know what could have been the issue. But I'm back to working on my laptop as usual.

IanC

nice!

Serg

I used to think it was bad connection with the pins, but . . .it seems too good to be true

IanC

maybe it was software related?

Serg

Well, if it was software problem, it would re-occur more frequently, i think.

Could the RTC battery in the motherboard be cause of this ?

Kaz Wolfe

i don't think so?

Serg

5:19 AM

If I remove laptop battery and plug it back in, the laptop often complains about RTC battery being low

Kaz Wolfe

SSDs aren't RTC dependent, i think.

Serg

Well, like I said, at this point I don't think it's SSD issue. It's something else

Kaz Wolfe

try re-seating it?

i mean i usually wouldn't complain, but hats.

ah...

> If you do not award your bounty within 7 days (plus the grace period), the highest voted answer created after the bounty started with a minimum score of 2 will be awarded half the bounty amount (or the full amount, if the answer is also accepted). If two or more eligible answers have the same score (their scores are tied), the oldest answer is chosen. If there's no answer meeting those criteria, no bounty is awarded to anyone.
