Re: [SOLVED] Academy/bbqinstaller: mke2fs exits with error.

Thanks! I'll give this a go.

I'll also be installing different spins on several different machines, so one of the top things on my present to-do list is to get my configs into a Github repo.

Re: Hi! I'm new to BBQ.

Thanks everyone! :D Wuxmedia: Thanks for the detailed reply! Ivanovnegro: I actually did mean that somewhat literally. mb: As I get around to them, I certainly will! I suspect most of my findings will be trivial to experienced grillers, but perhaps other new folks will enjoy them! Even highly-visibl...

Re: Hi! I'm new to BBQ.

Dkeg: Yeah, I posted here prior to joining. :)

I got a lot of good help with some weird dependency issues from dkeg and rust collector. Many thanks.

Darry: The enlearnening has begun.


EDIT:
After lots of fussing about with xserver, I installed Smoothie instead. Success!

Re: Hi! I'm new to BBQ.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'll hop over to the IRC. Presently, I'll be using my browser, but CLI would be nice. XChat and Irrsi don't seem to be available in Academy. Is there a particular IRC directly available in Sid, or should I start trying other PPAs?

Re: Academy/bbqinstaller: mke2fs exits with error.

I went with your recommended partition scheme and was able to reboot into tasty meat. I'll mark as Solved. Thanks again!

Re: Academy/bbqinstaller: mke2fs exits with error.

I'll give that a go presently. In the meantime, thanks for the quick reply! I realize that Academy is beyond the "3 month" rule; I was banking entirely on the notion that the "educational" release might get a bit more support. I wasn't disappointed. ;D

[SOLVED] Academy/bbqinstaller: mke2fs exits with error.

Hi! I'm new to BBQ (posted over in the introductions a few minutes ago.) I'm pretty inexperienced with this whole thing; I've succeeded in dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu once upon a time with the graphical version of gparted and some very specific instructions. This is my first time using the parte...

Hi! I'm new to BBQ.

Hi! I'm a grad student. I was a casual Linux user throughout my undergrad, which was in mathematics. I've had no formal CS training, and I've only gotten so far with coding on my own time over the years. I've been glancing at BBQ every now and then since the past spring, and I've finally gotten arou...
