Am I supposed to have ext2? My filesystem for all my partitions has been ext4 when I've manually partitioned, which I did for Arch and Ubuntu. Additionally there is no grub-update command with Arch's...

Tried your solution, sikander, but it didn't work. Used the bootinfoscript and I've attached the result. Note I used bootinstallscript before I tried using UUID in grub2.

Yes, the image embeds now too. I have no idea what went wrong. I did try to switch my system use xelatex to get system fonts and switched back, after discovering the getnonfreefonts function for...

Hi Gunksta,

The main reason I exported the image as a PDF, was because theres a guide .org file out there I was following called foo.org, I think it's on the babel site. I just tried it with a...

My emails all powered by windows live mail, as that's the account I was given when I came to university. So I think I have pop3 for sending and smtp for receiving, if that's what you mean.
