Computer Usage and Setup Help / Ubuntu wont boot up
« on: December 08, 2011, 12:02:27 pm »
SYSTEM INFO:
Windows XP pro and Ubuntu 11.10 dual boot
nVidia Graphics card
emachines T2482


OK, so today, i boot up my computer and i get the grub 2 boot menu as usual. I select Ubuntu and i get a black screen with a white cursor blinking in the corner. So i booted up my LiveCD and searched for the problem on the internet. I found that since I have nVidia graphics card, I can edit the boot script line that says:

Code: [Select]
splash quiet quiet splash

(idk if that was the exact code, but it was similar)

and replaced it with:

Code: [Select]
nomodeset

It showed text now and got hung up at:

Code: [Select]
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done

Does anyone know whats going on? (it was working for a few days before this happened)

Miscellaneous / Duct tape plane
« on: October 24, 2011, 07:42:21 pm »
Mythbusters tested this!
Spoiler For original email:
Quote from: Original eMail
During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane.

A bear smelled it, and this is what he did to the plane.

The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic.

He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME!
