Re: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
Ah. So the new Xorg does eliminate this option altogether even with DontZap?

Re: Transport of config files from TB(Windows) to Icedove(Debia)
if you have your windows drive available in Linux, you can just run icedove --ProfileManager and create a profile which points to the directory in your Windows install where your TB profile is.

[solved]Grub2 - keep manual entries from being deleted?
Whenever a new kernel is installed, any entries I have manually entered in /boot/grub/grub.cfg are deleted. How can I prevent this?

Problems with HD4870
On my i7 920 (6GB with ATI HD4870) machine, there si a distinct difference when I play HD content in Debian and Gentoo. For instance when I play this link , it stutters heavily in Debian (not a buffering issue). I am using the same xorg.conf except that in Gentoo I load radeonhd as the driver, but i...

System always loads with Volume in Mute
And just as KDE4 loads, a system notification comes and goes pretty quickly before I can fully read. But it has to do with the sound. It looks like a phonon message. How do I check what it says?

Re: KDE4 is here
[rant] There was no bigger fan of KDE when it was 3.5.x. But KDE4 is an abomination. I often wonder why people take something that is perfectly fine and piss around with it. The best case in point of this KDE foolishness is Amarok. Great program in 1.x guise. Absolute crap in 2.x form. WHY KDE WHY? ...

Re: Installing Debian
if only i read properly.
Is your PC Linux on /dev/sda and Debian on /dev/sdb? if so then I am guessing the PCLinux /boot/grub/device.map lists /dev/sdb as hd1. In which case you should have root (hd1,7)

What I am saying is try changing what you have

I suppose I could have stated it more directly in my first post. This should load the Debian Grub with all the normal options
Code: Select all
Title Debian
Root (Hd0,7)

Re: Installing Debian
The below doesn’t answer your answer directly the way you have setup, but I think achieves the same result. Is there any particular reason you do not install grub to the partition of your install? That way you can just do a chainloader to the from your PCLinux menu to your Debian partition’s grub. S...
