Interesting. What was the decision?

Thanks for the alternate fix, I'll use that instead.


Pressing ` on Macbook in Debian produces §

2016-04-16 Thread Eric Andrew Lewis
Hi,

I notice that when I press the backtick key, the section symbol (§) is
produced instead.

This bug has been reported on Ubuntu (#1245081
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1245081>).

I've found a workaround by placing this in ~/.Xmodmap

keycode  94 = grave asciitilde grave asciitilde grave asciitilde grave
asciitilde

But I wonder, what package is this bug in? Can I help fix it?

Re: What boot manager do use for an OSX/Debian Dual Boot?

Thanks for your notes!

next install.

I found that this is the default behavior after install, so perhaps after
Debian installs Grub, it interacts with the system's firmware to use GRUB
as a boot manager. And you can always boot into OS X by holding option as
you mentioned.


What boot manager do use for an OSX/Debian Dual Boot?

2016-04-15 Thread Eric Andrew Lewis
If you are a dual boot OSX/Debian user, what boot manager do you use?

I've heard that OSX makes some low-level filesystem changes on upgrades, so
wondering what are some good options.

Thanks,
