should I add my answer that I put into my question as an answer? http://askubuntu.com/questions/127049/help-trying-to-get-two-finger-scrolling-to-work-on-asus-ul80vt#comment152450_127049 Though I'm not sure if "reinstall fresh 12.04" is a good answer? but it's how I fixed my two-finger scroll error (and my trackpad shows up correctly in xinput list) - I'm sure I probably *could* have fixed it by removing all the relevant packages and config files... (but reinstalled due to messing up ubuntu boot by removing plymouth)
I don't want to be 'recommending' that people reinstall Linux like I did... I only did it since I messed up my install by doing: sudo apt-get remove plymouth
But how many people would tape a webcam before turning a laptop on? :) Though I guess once that becomes a 'norm' for catching thieves it wouldn't be too difficult and a smart criminal would probably think twice
Tweaking my pre-boot screen (before the boot-options grub/burg screens), Asus FancyStart allows for background image + custom sound - that can be loaded randomly... I wonder if the webcam can be accessed to take a screenshot as soon as the laptop is turned on? Then to display the screenshot cropped down in the boot-options screen with a message that it's been uploaded to a server (thus making anyone who steals the laptop freak out and return it)....
@aking1012 Well I mean, after I select Ubuntu in grub, it just shows the grub background and nothing else (removes the boot options), but when selecting Windows, it switches to the animation instead. Though it's not a big deal, just wondering where I might go to customize it though I guess making it load an animation would technically 'take up more resources and cause a slight increase in delay' in loading (though I doubt it'd be noticeable, I barely restart)
Also is the 3 second delay-time (loading-tyime?) after selecting Ubuntu from grub - part of Ubuntu, or part of grub? As when I select Win7, it instantly shows the animation Win 7 loading screen
How 'easy' are the themes to set-up? I only have dual-boot (Win7, Ubuntu 12.04) but just want something a bit more 'unique' than just the terminal style grub :)
Anyone here used Burg before? Looking for a better looking "grub" as at the moment I just have a custom background with different colours... would you recommend burg or is there something else?
