LinuxBBQ

Thank you guys very much for your help. I've got it installed and finally figured out the vbox guest additions for sid(I think). Now, I shall tinker.

Thank you very much for your help, pidsley. If I can ask another question, once running popcorn via live-cd(in a VM), how would I start the installer? I can't find it in the menu.

Oof, very sorry about that. I had no idea that would happen as in my tiny sphere of linux-knowly I thought sid would always be sid.

Thanks very much for taking the time to help!

I am off to grab popcorn!

Thanks a bunch everyone for your help. I got network up and running, updated and dist-upgraded. On reboot I am now presented with a grub rescue prompt(grub_term_highlight_color not found). I've probably tried to install various bbq distros maybe 20 times and have failed almost all of them. I really ...

Hi there, I've managed to install Sidbang to a VM(no small feat for my limited know-how)but am having some issues setting it up. First, I managed to set it up without it using my swap partition. Looking at fstab, I'm not sure how to rectify this. And second, I have no network connection. Any help wo...

Thanks a bunch, Pidsley. Unfortunately, I'm not even getting all the way through the installer on that one(it's not you sidbang, it's me), but I'll post in the proper topic.

Hi there everyone! I keep trying to install this to a VM, but am always unsuccessful. During live cd, I simply enter terminal, sudo live-installer. I allow the script to partition the drive and install grub to sda2(/). After successful installation, I poweroff, remove the iso and Start her up. I'm g...

I just wanted to add my thanks for the update. It makes it so much easier to search by unread.

The guest additions are still developed and used, most notably for mouse capture and custom resolution on window maximize. The extension pack is only really used when you need additional USB passthrough or other less popular extension.

Some more info here.

Hi there guys and thanks a bunch for your help :) @rhowaldt: I tried: sudo mount -o loop VBoxGuestAdditions.iso /media/iso but it returns with the following: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel doesn't know about the loop device? (If so, recompile or "modprobe loop".) When lo...

hi there everyone! The problem I'm having is in the "Rocks" distro. In my Elitist install, everything worked as it should. Rocks install in VBox VM on Win 8 host. I wanted to install guest additions. Normally, this requires nothing more than mounting the iso through the devices tab and sud...
