Trouble with Gutsy and MCE using as a Hybrid machine
I've built a hybrid machine using Gutsy 7.10 AMD 64 and have installed Linux MCE 7.10 AMD 64.
I first started out just trying to learn Gutsy and get used to Linux. When in konsole, I used to be at speedy@AMD64. After a few weeks, I decided it was time to install MCE 7.10 64 bit from the 2 CD version. After installing MCE, I'm noticing that when I go into konsole now, I start at speedy@dcerouter. I think I have something setup wrong?? I'd like to be able to run the PC in Gutsy most of the time and then occasionally, re-boot into MCE to watch streamed content. Can anyone help me understand what to do? Regards, Speedy |
Hi -
You haven't given enough information to determine exactly what you should do, but: 1. It sounds like you want to "dual-boot" 2. The key your "boot loader", which allows you to select one or the other operating systems. 3. Here is a good, brief tutorial on one of the most popular boot loaders, "grub": http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-cha...in-ubuntu.html 4. Your first step is to familiarize yourself with grub, and some of the startup options. 5. Next, you need to determine whether or not you still *have* two operating systems (or whether you inadvertantly removed one OS when you installed the other. You can easily check this out using grub. 6. If necessary, you'll have to re-install the second OS. This can easily be done in a way that lets you keep the first one. Google, or post another question to LQ in a new thread. 'Hope that helps .. PSM |

Thank you for this information. I'm trying it right now. Another thing I've notice after installing MCE, is that some of the packagaes I had in Ubuntu went away. I've seen the instructions several times to go into system adminstration....I don't have adminstration under syste. I used to have a package manager, but no longer. I'm curious if there isn't a few basic packages I should go get and install? Or would this really mess things up? I have three log in options when Kubuntu starts up; speedy, samba share helper; pluto speedy before installing MCE, I had just speedy. I lost my network capability to my other home computers that I had with just Kubuntu. Now when I click Sambr, I get linuxmce and then dce router and then public & private folders in the dce router root. Please let me know what other info is needed and I'll try my best to convey it. Thanks again!! Speedy |
