I am by no means an expert, but in my personal experience,
there are usually several ways to get your questions answered.
1. The 'man' command. It provides some basic but useful instructions
about the command you are using. You may have already known
this. :)
2. Major distribution's forum. Fedora and Ubuntu's forums might be a
good start.
3. Go to specific mailing list regarding to your software if you have a
much detailed description about your questions. Information like
the version of kernel, software, and hardware you are currently using.
Hello Kan-I (<-- is that your first name :-),
thanks for your reply and sorry for getting back so late.
I think I was way too unspecific, sorry for that. My main question is
directly related to Moblin. I am using
"2.6.29.rc7-40.1.moblin2-netbook" (or at least that's what GRUB tells
me) which I downloaded from the Moblin site, used UNetbootin to boot it
from USB stick and installed it to my harddrive. I am using an EeePC
1000H (harddrive, not solid state; 2 GB RAM) in a dual boot with
Windows XP (via GRUB 0.97).
The Moblin start-up process goes like this:
0:00 min Select to boot Moblin in GRUB
0:14 min Start screen (grey mouse symbol) appears
0:17 min Start screen disappears; only a plain grey screen is to be
seen
0:46 min Plain grey screen disappears, desktop appears, Moblin is
loaded
So, the start-up until start-screen goes pretty fast, but that
"grey-screen-period" of about 29 seconds makes me wonder: Can I do
something to avoid this long "pause" (what ever happens "behind the
scenes"?). I understand that Moblin is supposed to boot fast, and
that's what it does on my machine, given I could get rid of that
inactivity or whatever-is-happening-phase with that plain grey screen.
My second question is: I cannot update Moblin, because doing so by Menu
with "Update system" shows me the number and details of the updates,
but would not let me install them (nothing happens when I click the
install button). I tried doing it on the terminal using "sudo yum
update", but all I get is a really long list with packages and some
errors about missing stuff...
Again, sorry for being unspecific in the beginning, and thanks for any
help!
Best regards, Philipp
PS. I understand that Moblin is currently still alpha and thus most
probably not for a more end-user-type of guy like me; so if the things
I'm trying to do are too complicated, please let me know and I'll wipe
Moblin and wait until it has advanced more...
