- ileftfark, on 11/30/2008, -0/+60Just a tip - GIMP can save images in a compressed format natively, simply by appending ".gz" at the end of the filename. No need to save a picture and then compress it separately.
☑ Show these tips at startup - tonyhartfield, on 11/30/2008, -7/+56"like your girlfriend’s photo for example"
linux users don't have girlfriends - NixiePixel, on 11/30/2008, -2/+33Yes! Now I can see porn as my computer boots...
- tonyhartfield, on 11/30/2008, -0/+24unfortunately i use linux and have no girlfriend
- rabidg00se, on 11/30/2008, -0/+20Jesus. The comment itself was good, but the checkbox put you over the top. GG.
- ptFoe, on 11/30/2008, -0/+16BSOD screen would be great
totally ***** noobs trying to boot up your computer when you are away. - zarque, on 11/30/2008, -0/+14finally a linux tutorial that isnt teaching you how to install .deb packages.
- pHreaksYcle, on 11/30/2008, -1/+15People who say that usually don't use linux. So, show us pics of yours, please.
- fprintf, on 12/01/2008, -0/+12The instructions are incorrect. Where the article says to edit menu.lst to include the following line: splashimage=XXXXXX/boot/grub/splashimages/bootwallaper.xpm.gz , he does not recommend changing anything but the XXXXXX. Unfortunately this line does not match the rest of the text where you create a folder of a different name. Furthermore you can see in the image above this statement where his filename has been corrected.
- minnasouljah, on 11/30/2008, -0/+12What the ***** dude!?!?
- censormagnet, on 12/01/2008, -0/+11hes right, they have wives, see for linux users everything is more stable ;)
- zarque, on 11/30/2008, -0/+10linux is my girlfriend
- OrangeSoda31, on 12/01/2008, -0/+9sudo apt-get girlfriend
- spyd3rweb, on 11/30/2008, -0/+8Who still uses lilo out of spite for grub?
- troymccluresf, on 11/30/2008, -0/+7Oh, come on, that's pretty funny.
- OrangeSoda31, on 12/01/2008, -1/+8*click* I hate these stupid tips.
- MavRevMatt, on 11/30/2008, -0/+6@tonyhartfield, that sucks.
The girlfriend bit, not about using Linux. - tonyhartfield, on 11/30/2008, -0/+6I'm a linux user and I'm an unemployed computer science graduate who sits around all day smoking weed and masturbating don't stereotype me (this may also explain my lack of a girlfriend)
- rayefrenzy, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6apparently, linux users can't be girls either. /eyeroll.
- inactive, on 11/30/2008, -0/+5ur mom?
- tonyhartfield, on 12/01/2008, -1/+6they can, they just have to be lesbians
- pHr34kY, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5Actually, the wife/girlfriend always wants a copy of windows in the background in case they want to get something done the Microsoft (read: retarded) way.
In which case, you'll need to dual boot, and you'll need a GRUB OS selection screen to display each time. Might as well make it pretty.
For the record, my GRUB boot screen has been a wedding photo for the last few months. - erkokite, on 11/30/2008, -0/+5DO NOT WANT!!!
- adkenc, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5dugg for being something people would want to know how to do. it's written well and has nice examples, i hope the info is right. off to try...
- volanin, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5GRUB runs before the kernel.
By the way, its function is exectly to load it. - smacksaw, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4It's comments like this that make me glad we left FARK.
- koolto, on 11/30/2008, -0/+4***** you man, that's gross.
- inactive, on 11/30/2008, -1/+4I, for one, thought it was hilarious.
- Rekutyn, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3*hand shoots up*
I use it for my LInux kitsch, I'm on GRUB for my BSD installs though. - jvincent08, on 11/30/2008, -0/+3I use Linux and I'm single, but I don't believe the two are related..
- stormgren, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3Dammit tonyhartfield you look like my future.
- nickpick, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3There really should be a GTK tool for doing this sort of thing more or less automatically. That is, inserting the image, moving about the text-fields, etc,
- smacksaw, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3@tonyhartfield
Well, at least your userpic is...apt? - ethana2, on 11/30/2008, -1/+3Kernel Mode Setting come quickly...
- jman0591, on 11/30/2008, -0/+2Correction: False.
- DreadKnight, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2Good one! :D
- leamanc, on 11/30/2008, -2/+4No, they are generally married, gainfully employed and NOT living in the wood-paneled basements of their parents' house.
Most people I've found that fit the typical negative geek stereotypes use Windows. - srg13, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2That won't affect Grub at all - Grub is the bootloader - it runs before (and starts) the kernel.
- orrinbloquy, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2Why don't you have a seat over there
- srg13, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2I don't really like Grub splash screens anymore - it's just silly using a 640x480, 14 colour image on some of the (relatively) huge screens we have now - best is to just put a one second timeout on Grub and use the silent mode, so you just get to the OS's splash quickly.
- nickpick, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2Almost, OrangeSoda31. It's:
sudo apt-get install girlfriend - DreadKnight, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2Unfortunately they do have girlfriends....
- tnoy, on 12/01/2008, -1/+2The butchish Rosie Odonnell type of lesbian, too.
- artofwot, on 12/01/2008, -2/+3Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
Alright, I will never use that stupid expression again. I promise. - GavinZac, on 12/02/2008, -0/+1***** you, Seaweed!
- inactive, on 08/18/2009, -0/+1Last time, I checked I had one... though she never wanted me to install Linux on their home pc... Turns out she hates Linux since her brother installed Redhat years back and she doesn't know how to use it.
Kidding aside, Linux is one reliable system for personal web hosting than MS' IIS. http://www.opalhost.com/faq.html - ethana2, on 12/02/2008, -0/+1I'd prefer we avoid running non-OS code at all, if possible... I think bootloader stuff should all be done via the GUI...
'reboot into Windows' 'reboot into Fedora' 'load updated OS kernel'
..same with the BIOS. - socokoolaid, on 12/01/2008, -1/+2He kinda missed that part, but I would think most people would figure it out.
