Nice. Thanks for that post, GG. Was wondering about Steve. Hope he's kept up his Linux interests.
In fact, was thinking of him a lot today. Oh-oh
... I'd sure like to know if he included an initrd statement in his efibootmgr -c command following the -u parameter! (ref.: Going Grubless) I spent a lot of time on this today. Time permitting, I will try something like that tonight.

Steve is as close to a genius as any of us will ever see. I was amazed at how fast he became an expert in Linux at ALL levels. Since I have yet to own an EFI type computer, and probably never will if this one continues to work for me for a few more years, I know nothing about installing secure boot paradigms. In fact, I'm just a click-it guy now.Originally posted by Qqmike View PostNice. Thanks for that post, GG. Was wondering about Steve. Hope he's kept up his Linux interests.

No. That would be me. I'm socially isolated, don't get along with people, am seeking fame in secret ways. By PM, knowing GG has investigative skills, I put him up to this task, under the pretense of caring about our fellow Kubuntu-er, Steve. Fact is, it's all a lie. GG and I are both fronts for a third, even more secret and more socially isolated and maladjusted party. If you repeat any of this, I will deny everything.NickStone says to GreyGeek: What are you, his personal stalker?An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way.

Steve has been a tremendous asset here. His absences are noticed, and occasionally, raise some concern. The same would be true of any other participating member.Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007

That we do ...Originally posted by vinnywright View Post
BTW, Vinny, your posts have achieved a "must read" category as well. I make it a point to read them."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

fwiw, also, I've had real good luck with your posts, too, Vinny :-) Sometimes I wonder how the hLL you figure some of this stuff out, or have it so handy at your fingertips.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles BukowskiComment
