  1. Re: broken suspend on acer laptop since kernel 4.15

    I can confirm this issue occurs on an Acer Aspire E 15 - E5-511G-P239 with the 4.15.0-30-generic kernel.

    Seems to hang somewhere in the suspend process. Interestingly, the fan controller seems to...
  2. Poll: Re: How can acelerate this download

    Since a lot of people seem to have slow downloads, I think I might change the built in downloader to an http one, although I'll leave the torrent source code there, as when the installer gets big, I...
  3. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    I'm just uploading the source to the cutlersoftware site (8 mins remaining), as I still havn't managed to get bazar working.

    To compile, you need:
    The NSIS compiler (I was using the windows...
  4. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    I'm fairly sure it WILL NOT work, the reason being the kernels in the installer and the CD must match, and the kernel in the installer is x86. You'd probably need to recompile the installer from...
  5. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    New NSIS installer made.

    It's single installation mode. Supports FAT32 (only partially tested) as well as NTFS. Supports Windows 95 (part tested), Windows 98 (untested), Windows 2000 (untested),...
  6. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    dpcfMander: For Tux's version, yep. If it's my (older) NSIS version, run uninstall from Add/Remove Programs.

    I'm away at the moment (for the next ~48 hours), so I probably won't get a chance to...
  7. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    Hi,

    I read tux's long post about using ntfs aas the root. While I agree with most of it, here are a few points I picked up on:

    1. using the root of the ntfs as the root of ubuntu isn't really...
  8. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    EDIT: about using dd to convert image file to a real partition:

    We can't really use that, or a system based on that, as a final solution, because consider this:

    A user has a 60GB disk
    The...
  9. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    When we initially started, concerns about security descriptors were what headed us towards a loopmounted image - we need to make sure the security descriptors work from the ubuntu side otherwise we...
  10. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    did anyone see my reply to ago's last post? I'm convinced I wrote out and posted a reply, but it seems it vanished!

    Anyway, I'll have a go at running some benchmarks with different disk types to...
  11. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    That confirms what I had suspected for a while. Qemu-img used on NTFS creates the file, and sets the file size, but doesn't actually allocate the file (thats why it's so quick). When you then use...
  12. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    For now, use the qemu-img tool to create a new one.

    As far as editing the boot.ini goes:
    Make sure your an administrator user
    Make sure the file isn't set as read only or system (right click...
  13. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    Yep. I've tested it and it works on my Windows 95 PC with 16MB of ram as far as the grub menu - won't boot ubuntu with so little ram tho, just locks up. I've managed to get a setup where the user...
  14. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    For those of you who are testing this but don't much want to break your installation, you can very easily make an entire backup copy of the \ubuntu folder in windows. If you then break your...
  15. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    Has anyone had any success tinkering with grldr and vista to get it to boot. I've found, that contrary to some microsoft docs, the vista bootmgr CAN chainload 16 bit real mode code, without any...
  16. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    Hi,

    Although a lot of work has been put into the NSIS installer, I do think it would be worth looking at a cross platform front end, because if it all works smoothly, it's so much less maintanance...

    Hi,

    I've created Wubi as a launchpad product, and added the team as drivers. I've had a go at creating a bazzar branch, although the following doesn't seem to work:

  18. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    tux: I have made a version of the installer that can be run from a batch file, and uses grub, grldr, menu.lst, linux, initrd.gz and preseed.cfg from the directory it's in. By sticking that in a...
  19. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    Hi,

    Quite a lot of the things you suggested are already working in the nsis installer. If the NSIS installer detects an iso with the correct file name in it's directory or other obvious locations...
  20. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    Yep, I agree with you there, since the full whitelist spec looks like a lot of work, for not much immediate gain, I'll just use a blacklist system, and that'll be fairly easy to implement, and just...
  21. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    I'm considering a pre-installation hardware detection to detect hardware thats incompatible with ubuntu (everyone must have tried to get ubuntu going on some old machine just to find it simply won't...
  22. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    I'm just thinking the batch files can't be as simple as you envision, because they've got to make the decisions as to which forms should be displayed, and the installer now isn't as linear as it used...
  23. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    It's an idea, but I'm still not sure I like the idea of batch files. How about replacing the batch files in your design with say VBScript files (there is a vbscript interpreter in windows, just like...
  24. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    I don't know how much of a priority everyone thinks hardware detection is, but it would be quite easy to get windows to spit out a list of all the hardware id's of every piece of PnP hardware. That...
  25. Poll: Re: Windows based installer - testers and developers wanted

    it was mainly the installing packages that took a long time, as it seemed to take a few minutes for every package, with the HD light on solidly throughout, so I suspect some PIO/DMA problem as ago...
