Re: [ubuntu-uk] Grub/bootloader configs (was: Ubuntu 64 bit)
Hi folks, As it turned out, the partition I had my previous installation in wasn't formatted, so grub was finding stuff that I thought had gone. I formatted it, ran grub-update and it only picked up what I needed. Frustrating, really. Just as I'm getting the hang of things they go and change the way everything works :) Thanks for all your help, guys.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 64 bit - GRUB
I have been using KGRUBEditor and love it, Not sure if it is Grub 2 complient as yet but hey I have a nice splash / back ground image when I have the option to load the OS and I can also do a load of settings from there... I also tried Startup Manager also but it is not by far as nice as KGrubEditor... -- _ Cornelius Mostert Senior IT Specialist United Kingdom: 075 2233 4818 International: 0044 75 2233 4818 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

There is still a menu file. /boot/grub/grub.conf You should not edit this by hand though. more info here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 azmodie -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Audio in, Record and transmit over Network
Hallo I guess most of you missed that I said I do NOT send it over WAN but only LAN, so I did not expect the Shoutcast server eventhough I knew about that, but it sounds like the Shoutcast server and DarkLog would do the trick in any case so I can 1. Hook up the "recorder" PC (RPC) to any audio in (from the sound mixer desk) 2. The RPC then could use DarkLog to record into MP3/ogg and stream to an Shoutcast server 3. The Shoutcast server can then act as the "transmitter" to the rest of the LAN 4. Any client PC can be used with any player that accept and play oggMP3. The problem I have with PulsAudio is that it looks like you have to "extend" ALL of the audio cards of all of the clients that you would like to play over AND this is a problem IF it is a NON linux client OR if the number of clients could vary. -- _ Cornelius Mostert Senior IT Specialist United Kingdom: 075 2233 4818 International: 0044 75 2233 4818 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

The new shiny configuration file is /etc/default/grub, but try running "sudo update-grub" first to see if it autodetects and fixes everything. -- Josh "dutchie" Holland http://www.joshh.co.uk/ http://twitter.com/jshholland http://identi.ca/jshholland -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
