Re: VirtualBox Info

2011-01-25 Thread rypedgenes
 Using VM's some years ago--and seeing them run now, nice!
I'd forgot, if it wasn't for 'TestDrive' opening up qemu.
So far, Vbox-4 is doing ok, after taking care of the kvm conflict.
I've not thought to test anything other then ubuntu...its allot of info &
stuff to learn and remember, as this stage.
I understand no hardware testing can be done in VM's...
With only the /daily releases sized for a cd, I'm limited.
So off I go...to re-install a foobar'ed daily, on my second partition!

  VirtualBox is fairly nice for testing, cause VM's are being used
  more, but Oracle VBox version 4 has a few bugs in it... I think they
  have fixed them now. Also Kubuntu 10.10 doesn't run in VBox during my
  demo runs. Others run just fine. So you'll just have to see.

 ...and then I find:
Virtual machines are also a good option (and a nice helper to boot an
Ubuntu ISO is testdrive).
;)

  >>- protocol, regex for the stack, and then do whatever. Am I
  correct?

 Ohh, not good news!
Guess I've wasted a whole lotta' of time here..  :(
Will check  if ios's are back to cd size.
I'd use usb/dvd if I one.

Will back out of current testscheck back later,
stanz

  Just a note.
  If you are going to test your laptop, you need to do it with real
  hardware, not a virtualised one.
  So I would suggest you to create a bootable usb live disk.

  Best regards,
  Sergio.

Found reading glasses...

2011-01-22 Thread rypedgenes
Hi all,
I've found my reading glasses...can I edit my other mails? :)

I completed the case:RescueModeGrub, and still figure to split a drive
for the RescueModeChangeRoot.

I reported 2 bugs, for the Alt64-OEM install and ask if someone has time
to look and confirm I'm doing them ok...I'd feel better!  :)

As for reports/results? I'm still fuzzy on that.

Thanks,
stanz

Rescue Mode Grub--Questions

2011-01-21 Thread rypedgenes
Hi All,

Where am I supposed to be...?
Not RescueMode (I don't find this option)?

Rescue Mode Grub
Case ID: res-004
Select Reinstall GRUB boot loader and press Enter/!\ Doing this will
remove your Grub config and mbr and place a new automatic version in it's
place.

also

Rescue Mode Change Root

Case ID: res-005 /!\ This case requires more than one root partition
1. Select Choose a different root file system


Should I have 2 OS's on this drive, to start?

And when completed, is there a wiki template to post results? Or make
one?

Thanks ~
stanz

VirtualBox OSE--Testing

2011-01-20 Thread rypedgenes
Hello All,
While I have some time to test--I'm gonna jump right in!

I've acquired both natty-desktop & alternate-amd64.
Being their both to large for a CdRom, I'll run them in VirtualBox OSE.
--Is this ok for these tests?

I'm running the 'OEM install' and find some questions out of order.
--Is this trivial, or can I assist in corrections? {I'm documenting..}

If needed: My wiki TestingLaptopReport for Laptop specs.

Thanks,
stanz
