I am probably supposed to say with big boy linux they should stick the home, root and otherwise on different partitions and thus allow you to swap around at will and it is mainly windows that gets all boot arrangement wiping happy (although some linux and other unix/BSD type arrangements have some interesting default installation ideas).
Ubuntu that I have seen shies away from this a bit on some occasions but I have not really done much with ubuntu in many years (assuming I am not going specialised, XBMC or liveCD it is mainly linux mint*, opensuse and debian that do linux on a desktop for me) so I am not sure what goes right now. If you do have partitions set up "properly" it should just be a matter of telling it what is where, making sure things are wiped that are supposed to be and left if not and leaving it to get on with it, it might get a bit more tricky if you want to keep some options but if you are going for a straight wipe it should be OK.

*if you are up for it you might want to give it a go. It is where quite a lot of people that like some of ubuntu's stuff but not some of their ideas end up going.

do you actually read what you are replying to?
You're making things way too complicated.

@lucifer666 just downgrade it like you installed 11

Its safe to downgrade, (windows) dual-boot options can be left as they are configured now, it should work.
But be careful with installing grub to your MBR (at the end of the ubuntu installation), because you can override the windows bootloader (BCD) with it. Just dont install grub ;)

An easier way to install Ubuntu and dual/triple/quadruple boot is to use ubuntu's wubi.exe
http://www.ubuntu.co...ndows-installer

It wil run ubuntu from a virtual disk file, which is put on your windows disk in (for example) c:\ubuntu\, no partitioning required.

Safest/easiest way to install it - if you have windows, that is -

In Topic: hello.cpp First C++ program help?

10 April 2012 - 02:37 PM

From the top of my head: easiest way to do this in Ubuntu,

create a shell script (echo "./hello" > run.sh) , make it executable (chmod +x ./run.sh)
double click the run.sh file, and Nautilus will ask what to do with the shell script (run, display in terminal, edit, etc)

note: when doubleclicking the ./hello executable from Ubuntu, it does actually run the executable, but because there is no GUI, no output is shown, because its not run in console mode/terminal.

The best fix is to actually instantiate a gui-window (for example with GTK), and output the text there.. see http://developer.gno...#SEC-HELLOWORLD

This is going to be open source if it isn't already, also who would pirate PS3 games, those would eat bandwidth quicker than your average torrent, what this needs is region free PS2 support for slim consoles because I want to play Front Mission 5 again and maybe some region free DVD support. If they took out the PS3 piracy support but added various homebrew features and good emulator support for Legacy Systems and the Saturn then I would use this and maybe Sony will stop suing.


It's already open-sourced tongue.gif and, you know, some people do have optic fibre in their home wink.gif so bandwidth isn't always a problem.
I guess Sony should have given a full access to the hardware from any other os, then I wouldnt even think about 'pirating' (if being a pirate is necessary to run 'homebrew'). I just want access to the sweet hardware in my slim!!
