pete_dushenski: "This is clearly meant to be a derogatory term here despite wealth and prominent position being sine qua non for any sort of meaningful cultural perspective and despite the baseless implication that the world can be more accurately described from the worm’s perspective than the eagle’s."
pete_dushenski: "People working with you when you're a benevolent dictator loved and admired by all don't rebel because they like working with you. Not because they can't. They have to be able to, otherwise they're just as much dead weight, a set of paraplegic "sidekicks" in wheelchairs you have to push around.

trinque: n6: the guide you followed did not account at all for EFI
trinque: in the EFI case there's even another partition you must have
trinque: the CSM thing I suggested is a way of setting EFI computers into a compatibility mode that behaves like BIOS
n6: trinque: what will it take for me to not have to make a 4th install here. I read your links still don't understand, last time I went without this step it ended poorly.
trinque: you don't have to trash the whole thing; merely reboot, set CSM, boot the livecd, mount, and chroot again
trinque: but first you must figure out where you changed the system to support EFI and change it back
n6: so the grub_platform? or you mean another place?
trinque: GRUB_PLATFORMS="pc"
trinque: sorry wrong one, one sec
trinque: nvm, I am right
trinque: this is in /etc/portage/make.conf
BingoBoingo: n6: Given a choice at all BIOS is prolly less horribru
trinque: these vars are confusing, because they are split, making them appear to be separate categories
trinque: most actually just enable some USE flags
trinque: maybe prefixed with something
BingoBoingo: !up n6
n6: I changed it back to "pc" but mircea_popescu said that was, 32 bits I have 64?
n6: so I do this 32 bits then edit the bios?
trinque: those were separate concerns
trinque: no
trinque: guide is for 64bit

trinque: changed a setting in portage then told emerge to re-evaluate the currenty set list of desired packages (world) according to them
trinque: *currently
n6: No, trying to work out where I go next, lost my place in the guide now
n6: I still only have /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh
trinque: what's the matter with that? you're going to set CSM
trinque: you have no need for EFI; I wouldn't bother
trinque: n6: try this:
trinque: grub2-install --target i386-pc
n6: ok
n6: tells me grub2-install: error: install device isn't specified.
trinque: what's your hard drive, sda?

trinque: ok. grub2-install /dev/sda
trinque: and if that doesn't work, try with the target flag in there too
trinque: which if it isn't what I put, it's "pc"
trinque: one of the major sources of pain in setting up linux this way is having different things which sound almost the same

trinque: does what come with back doors?
n6: my fake bios
trinque: your everything has back doors
trinque: or who knows; I don't have evidence
trinque: but this decision wont help you in either case
trinque: because in both cases it'd be because of a flaw, and neither you nor I know of the particular flaws in your firmware
n6: I think only edited the grub_platform file to try efi
trinque: the other place you might've would've been /etc/defaults/grub
trinque: rather, default
trinque: but that appears to pertain to the generation of grub's config, not its installation
n6: ls: cannot access /etc/defaults/grub: No such file or directory

mircea_popescu: "Sweden has traditionally relied heavily on the strong protestant work ethic of its citizens. A cornerstone of the country's welfare system has been a population which has been reluctant to misuse the system. Although taxes have been high and government benefits generous, the strong work ethic has stopped people from taking advantage of the welfare state. Alas, this attitude has been largely abandoned. As time has pass

They planned to deliver a decisive blow against the American naval force by initially destroying as many carriers as possible, utilizing the special attack forces of the Air Force and Navy. When the amphibious force approached wit

In conducting the air operations, the emphasis would be on the disruption of the American landing plans. The principal targets were to be the troop and equipment transports. Those American forces which succeeded in landing would be swiftly attacked by the Imperial Army in order t
