@Takkat The same grub menu I detailed in my quesiton

I tried tab, left shift, control, f6, etc

just did that with a 12.04 iso

Holding left shift key down while booting.

@Jorge blogging about them right now, should be on planet by tonight.

@Takkat 32 or 64 bit?

am64

Well, I triple checked it. No luck.

I even tried the server cd at the suggestion of a coworker

I also don't the nice looking menu. I get the typical grub menu.

While I was sitting here I tried also with the space bar. Same

Where did you get your CD from?

I'm going to try again, but I don't think anything different is going to happen :/

ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Mine is not the latest release but I doubt they changed something there... weird.

brb- trying again

Why do you get the EFI menu?

@Rinzwind where is your image from ? It reminds me of Death Note.

Also, just held down space. No luck.

@Drise that's not EFI, that's the Ubuntu text-based installer

Here's an idea for the Ubuntu developers.

Instead of focusing on phones and tablets and making us wait two years, FIX THE BUGS IN THE DESKTOP VERSION ALREADY.

KILL EMPATHY.

@hakermania Elfen lied

yeah

I updated the appmenu library today... expecting that now the global menu would work again.

No.

It still doesn't.

The bug I reported? Still ignored.

@RolandiXor This is a recurring discussion... please use what it works for you. Most of us are volunteers.

Empathy won't connect to my accounts. Why? Because I logged into KDE Telepathy. Once.

well theres your problem.

KDE.

Poor man's screenshot:

@hakermania what if nothing is working :)

@RolandiXor moderators need to solve their own problems >:)

@Drise that is a weird ISO.

The code of conduct does not say "don't get fed up when your bugs are ignored"

@RolandiXor you have to understand that nothing's working for you, not for everybody.

Many people are happy with their Linux setups

@hakermania I don't think you're getting me :)

@RolandiXor I pretty much do

I'm not unhappy, I'm just kind of perturbed that I'm testing 13.04, and when I report problems, they sometimes going ignored. This is a recurring issue - with testing in general. It's how bugs get 5 year life spans.

he's saying that things are broken for him, and that the bugs are getting drowned.

If I were not happy, I'd find another OS.

@jrg I pulled it fresh from ubuntu downloads :/

And being frustrated with silence is a right.

I welcome our new overlords

@RolandiXor I understand the problem but I think things would be easier with less whining

@Drise I never saw this... :/ sry no idea.

@Drise i'm lost, this is not usual.

@Drise include this in your question!!

@Takkat Have.

maybe memtest is only available when you have memory >:D

lol

@hakermania if you were here more often to know if I'm whining or not, I'd say "Fine, you have a point", but I'd quite while I'm behind, if I were you.

@Drise just saw it (and upvoted, I am curious how this ends!)

@Drise is it an EFI system? memtest doesn't work on those

@bcbc I think it is, yes.

I found this bug bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/883017 Maybe they disabled it for EFI systems

Curse you user-friendly bios!

oh no - why do they invent things like EFI when all good stuff stops working :(

I call dupe @drise askubuntu.com/questions/126160/…

@RolandiXor because of some projects of mine, I know from first hand how it is to have a bunch of bugs to work on while you are currently developing the project itself. It is inexplicably easy to abandon a bug report when you have other things to work on. It is something that is being added to your to-do list, but not something that you are willing to do to the near future, because there are more important things to do. But, from the bug reporter's view, he is ignored, which is false.

@Rinzwind but how can they add this to the live CD?

@hakermania all true, but I'm talking about the fact that not even anyone from the community has come along and said "confirmed".

It's not like it's something obscure.

And in big projects like Ubuntu and Gnome, this is the norm, not the exception.

You can't excuse that away.

@Rinzwind But that's on an installed system. I'm on a live cd.

Bedtime here - see you all later/tomorrow

@RolandiXor Agreed at this point with you. Anyone can spend one minute to at least to confirm that he saw the bug report and is planning to do something about it...

@Takkat Thanks for the help

@Drise memtest does not work on live cd (see the bug bcbc posted above)

"the EFI version of grub not supporting loading real mode binaries."

@hakermania even the elementary team (yes, they have a smaller target, but less hands to do more work) handles bugs better in my experience.

@Rinzwind Well... fluffy ponies.

ah I can make an answer now >:)

woah... shizzle?

@Drise Snoop dawg speak is okay, but swearing otherwise is not :)

You dizzle my nizzle?

Oh, sorry. I come from a much more wild west that is the C++ lounge.

@Drise :)

Not everyone here is a pirate and not everyone here is a saint, but we tend to avoid it :P

That's fair.

=)

@RolandiXor I guess the bigger the project, the more the bug reports. It results to be a routine and thus nobody confirms them etc. On the other hand, when talking about smaller projects, like elementary, the developers working on them are pretty happy to see that there are persons that deal with their project and thus replying on bug reports is being done with more pleasure.

Ubuntu users use open source so we can never be true pirates. Pirates require Windows >:)

@Rinzwind what about movies :D ?

@hakermania the problem here is that often times bugs slip through the cracks (and not minor ones) all the way up to release time and past it

SRUs are okay, but for things that could have been addressed during testing quite easily, I call foul.

@RolandiXor that's too bad

@hakermania downloading movies and music is legal in my country :+)

I understand, and agree, with your position, but I'm just pointing out that if Canonical can manage a Phone and Tablet OS without anyone even knowing that anything was going on, fixing a global menu bug can't be that hard.

@Rinzwind moving there, soon.

(And that's just an example).

@drise no tumbleweed for you >:D

@Rinzwind Lol, indeed.

@RolandiXor I don't see why we need to revive the desktop tag at all

@Rinzwind Apart from installing ubuntu, is there a way I could run some sort of memory test?

@JorgeCastro fair enough. I am still trying to think of alternatives

@drise doubt it but there is a memtest live cd :P

@Rinzwind linky? or google?

@drise forget that link... wont work

lol

Also, answer accepted.

@drise reading material: forum.canardpc.com/threads/…!

see 16

afk

@RolandiXor ROLAND!!

@RolandiXor link me to your bug

hmm non-afk test failed

Now to find a good Git client for Android...

do we support debian questions? :D

@Rinzwind No.

They would get sent to unix.stackexchange.com

ah he even duped it here serverfault.com/questions/480829/…

@GeorgeEdison agit?

@Rinzwind Except it's not free :P

(I'm cheap.)

pirate it D:

bedtime :) c u next time

@Rinzwind okie

@JorgeCastro bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-appmenu/+bug/…

@RolandiXor thanks!

You're welcome

This was the original question. If anything..

@RolandiXor I don't remember if I tell you this before but, congratulations for your excellent elections!

@Lucio thanks :)

your bug is stuck as New, that's why no one is looking at it

you need to find someone to confirm it or mark "affects me"
