Meant that the keyboard cycles on and off during POST. Will add that to the ticket at some point. Unrelated to the bootloader but still a relevant piece of information
It’s slow going between my schedule and them being in a different time zone, along with me having trouble communicating what’s occuring on my end (the frustration is partly why I prefer to struggle through these things on my own but this one is beyond me right now (probably partly because I’ve been out of action for a while)).
Hopefully I won’t need to reinstall. I always find it annoying to reconfigure everything.
Yeah, no sense in adding an add-in card that you don’t necessarily need. Bit surprised the motherboard doesn’t have Wi-Fi built-in as that’s been a common feature for several years.
Adding a sound card is something I may do at some point on account of the on-board sound here using remapping and the jack mapping isn’t fully supported by Linux, as I think I mentioned in an earlier post. Granted, it remains to be seen whether I bother to take the plunge. 😛
Yeah, my discs have been sitting on the shelf for years without use. Not gathering dust, though, since the shelf has doors but still on a shelf. 🙁
I probably need to clean the discs I have in the open. They’re pretty dusty. I hate dust. It even gets in bags that I wrap with bags to keep the dust out! Hence the air purifiers. 😛
They did try tossing Bender in an asylum (the HAL Institute) a few times but it never did work out well. Except when it gave us Bender’s Game. Of course, being roommates with Marvin wouldn’t be fun. But other roommates could be! MCP could be a blast. He’d definitely keep the games rolling! Speaking of, I’m in the mood for a Furby. Never had one…What were we discussing again…?
The Harley Quinn Annual made a good point regarding calzones: in essence, they’re just folded pizzas. However, many places put their own spin on them turning them into a sort of hand pie instead of a turnover. In which case, are calzo es still technically pizza turnovers? Even more importantly, will such a distinction cause an extinction level event when the riots start?
When that happens, I expect Florida to have one of the largest populations when most life is extinguished on the planet due to the Great Calzone Event Horizon on account of our roaches alone due to our swampy environment. 😛
They Live was pretty ridiculous but an absolute blast. Highly recommended!
The BusyBox environment is a text-only affair so I’m not sure if the mouse drivers are being loaded. The keyboard is loaded by the UEFI, Windows, and Live USB image so there’s something funky going on with the bootloader on Linux. I’ve gone ahead and opened a ticket. At the very least, I hope they’ll be able to fix the firmware cleanup step for the future even if I wind up having to reinstall Linux (would rather struggle through the repair though so I know how to fix it in the future as reinstalling each time would get annoying). 🙂
Yuck. Kind of sounds like they had set it up with other hardware first and then simply changed their minds on what to sell it with. Only reason I can think of for why the Nvidia audio driver would be installed.
Yeah, Windows doesn’t look at the ETA when it does the percentage. Don’t know what figures into it but several parts of it take a lot longer than others. I do wish they had a text environment to monitor things. I can say that Windows is very slow with updates and upgrades. On Linux, it’s very fast (a few minutes_ while it takes several hours to do upgrades of a similar scale on Windows. 😛
Ugh. Do you have a spare sound card you could slip in? That should take care of the audio issues
Well, I just tried to repair the bootloader using the same steps I performed before and it failed spectacularly. All I get now is a BusyBox interface on boot and no keyboard support so I can’t even access any overrides. Fortunately, Windows still works. Guess I’ll need to pester support after all. May need to reinstall Linux but, fortunately, all I’ll lose are my customizations.
Little bit bummed about having trouble fixing it
There is this section but I can’t access the keyboard in the interface 🙁
Probably need to reboot into the USB and check the values anyways
I think those are full page templates as opposed to other Patterns which are collections of blocks. There are even more available when you go to Edit. It takes a few seconds for the Patterns tab to appear though. Really not sure how all that works but I’ve only ever glanced at it a few times.
We’ll get it figured out!
Looks like it still gets updated sporadically, though! Mostly for compatibility issues, from the looks of the repository (as opposed to a suppository :P)
Yeah, being able to embed card information like some other media would be of great benefit. Will do some digging! I know the Reddit communities have bots that trawl the databases on request and post the card text that way so it’s doable. And will take a look at that MtG plugin 🙂
Looks like my preferred shop for Yugioh may not be hosting official events anymore. It’s a little hard to tell since they don’t update their event calendar but once in a blue moon. 😛
I’ll ask them at some point. 🙂
This shows my inexperience with WordPress…. 😛
We should be able to fix up the main homepage by editing it in the Page editor, adding the post lists and whatever else we want in there. 🙂
Not sure of the best place to put a welcome link. Maybe in the navbar somewhere?
These remarks are probably better fit for the Styles thread but some mumblings!
Lots of styles in the blog area that need to get fixed up, I see. Shouldn’t be too problematic once I know what we’re working with (and we see if the load order needs to be handled) 🙂
Some of the text colors look like they need to be set in the theme settings. Not ideal as that means that are customizations wouldn’t be as portable if we ever switch layouts. In that event, we’d need to go back in and edit the text colors again instead of just dropping in the CSS. We’ll find out as I get tweaking, though.
I’m trying but there’s so much to do! Got some more science fiction to read tomorrow 🙂
Definitely worth a look once we get things fixed up. Would probably make managing the styles easier. 🙂
We need a WOOS (WordPress Order Optimization Software) to determine the right load orders! We already have BOSS! Not taking that one up, though. 😛
Can’t really think of anything at the moment but I’m sure we’ll have something in the future. I want to read through the style pack documentation again on how it handles the load order for the aforementioned issue since it does some trickery but it’s probably worth pestering the community regarding how to rebuild the homepage.
Looks like I need to fix some theme elements there, too. For some reason, the default theme has the content padding set to 0, overriding a good looking padding. Easily done but will be a bit hard to test for now. Looks like some of the customizations are being overwritten. Not sure why the style pack’s styles are being loaded before the theme. Will need to play with it once things are more functional.
May have something to do with editing the default home page view and an update didn’t like it. Any way we could restore the original page from WordPress as an additional for testing purposes? It’s set as a page, not a post, so they may have changed how comments work.
Sorry, still moving sluggishly as I regain my energy after the last week or so. Still pretty tired.
They have a few other locations around the country as well, each with a completely different theme! Looks like they poopooed a Florida location at some point so, sadly, I’m not sure I’ll be able to experience them any time soon. Looks like a blast, though. 🙂
Also a good way to have your spices go missing if a wicked witch visits for the day. 😛
I strongly disagree with the article about space travel being a lost invention. The plans are in the filing cabinets and the infrastructure still stands at Cape Canaveral (it’s been repurposed for private launches). It’s more out of a lack of motivation than anything.
We have the exact same thing!
Yep, alligator is definitely available here but only in the small local grocers. Quite tasty! Granted, I haven’t had it in a while. Used to have gator tail pretty often at eateries when I was a kid but it’s mostly been taken off the menus now. Still can find the main meat at the grocer, though, so I may need to get some soon 🙂
