WHAT. The only step I have screwed up during the instalation was generating an fstab. I was always typing in one ">" instead of two ">"'s. Arch Linux, here I come again, after bricking you several times. [img]http://puu.sh/N9y4[/img] [B]Edited:[/B] JEEZUZ, It finally works! <3
[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37785633]That was my point entirely, zone delegation is a process, not a term.[/QUOTE] It's a term that describes a particular process which is zone delegation. You're right though, "zone delegation" wasn't meant to describe the subdomain, simply the process by which it is created. I suppose I misread the intention of your post, it seemed very affirmative and not quite open to interpretation. Suppose we can get along now. That said, I don't know if you're using bind, but [url]http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/[/url] is decent for learning some DNS concepts. It uses bind for all of its examples, though.

Guys. I just realized I was typing in wrong commands, or at least missed some of them. I have missed typing in the GRUB config generation command (grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg) I have never ever figured this out before. I was too lazy to check that again. I am a complete linux noob and I deserve to die. [img]http://puu.sh/N9y4[/img]
[QUOTE=Foxconn;37786091]WHAT. The only step I have screwed up during the instalation was generating an fstab.

That's a bit aggressive, don't you think?
[QUOTE=esalaka;37786601]I can certainly understand why your fstab wouldn't work if you constantly kept replacing its contents with the latest line you output to it.[/QUOTE] I don't know what guide he's using because you shouldn't be using >> for the command that generates fstab since it generates the whole file at once and there's no need to append afterwards. You just redirect to /mnt/etc/fstab once and that's it.

GRUB2 now, comrade!
dammit i don't know that one
[QUOTE=Foxconn;37786776]GRUB2 now, comrade![/QUOTE] Any reason for using GRUB over Syslinux?
I am using Ubuntu and trying to remove a few programs from the start-menu ish thing. But I can't use sudo apt-get autoremove or remove on their name. The names of the programs are Mupen64, Minecraft, Skype. Help, quick?
Do "dpkg-query -S <file>" to find out what package owns that file. So for Skype you could do "dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/skype" to get the package name.
Says it's illegal or someshit.
For some reason some things in Cinnamon look like this [IMG]http://imgkk.com/i/nwc4.png[/IMG] Any possible problems? And steam under wine looks like this for some reason [img]http://imgkk.com/i/_gn7.png[/img]

[QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;37796661]Open winecfg, go to libraries and set dxwrite to disable.[/QUOTE] I don't see dxwrite here :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;37796682]I don't see dxwrite here :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] Then put -no-dxwrite in all of your steam shortcuts
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;37796682]I don't see dxwrite here :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] Enter it in the dropdown menu and add it, then set it to disabled.
Deaugh, I fixed steam but this bug is still really annoying [IMG]http://imgkk.com/i/5g8p.png[/IMG] It only shows up like that in Nautilus and Cinnamon settings for some reason. The text should be black and the tab things shouldn't have a solid colour background. Oddly enough changing icon theme temporarily fixes the text and then it resets when I open it again
Ugh! Trying to install ubuntu on my harddrive. Got it working, but when I try to launch it from the hard-drive the only thing it does is starting in some trial-ish mode. Any ways to install Ubuntu on a hard-drive and make it so when you plug it into a computer and change the computer's boot settings you could launch Ubuntu as if it was installed on the computer all along?

Each time I restart the computer all changes I've done reset, and there are icons in the taskbar or whatever it's called and on the desktop asking if I want to install Ubuntu. [editline]25th September 2012[/editline] Also no. I used some program called Universal USB installer and an iso. Couldn't find a good guide for it.
Did you pull out the flash drive? Or did you install the live install to the hard-drive somehow? :v:
unetbootin is the best tool for making linux installers on windows
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;37798160]unetbootin is the best tool for making linux installers on windows[/QUOTE] I've had pretty bad success rate with it lately, I usually just use dd now
[QUOTE=Lyoko774;37798157]Did you pull out the flash drive? Or did you install the live install to the hard-drive somehow? :v:[/QUOTE] Probably the latter. Any idea how I make it so it's like a normal install but on an external harddrive?
[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;37798192]Probably the latter. Any idea how I make it so it's like a normal install but on an external harddrive?[/QUOTE] Um..just load a live CD and install to the hard-drive. 'Least, that's how I've been able to do it. You may need to install the boot loader seperately.
No idea how I load the Live CD. Tried to use PowerISO, that didn't work out. Also I don't have any discs..
