## Problem with refracta on SolydXK

Tue Aug 13, 2013 5:38 pm

I made a post/tutorial on SolydXK's forum http://forums.solydxk.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1160
I don't know if your interested but a guy is having problems with grub when he's installing the snapshot, I think he is using the old type grub with the other OS's on his HDD which I've no experience with.
Sorry if I'm being a nuisance.

Right now, I don't want to join another forum and have another place to check for messages, but maybe you can relay the message.
The grub choices are:
- install to mbr
- install to partition
- don't install bootloader
The installer should work with grub-legacy, grub-gfx or grub-pc(grub2). dzz uses grub-legacy, I think, and it works for him. In fact, he supplied the code to get it to do that.
If someone wants to keep their current bootloader, they should choose not to install grub. Then they can add an entry for refracta to their current bootloader (probably boot into the system that's controlling grub and run update-grub. If that doesn't work, add an entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and then run update-grub, assuming they're using grub2/grub-pc and not grub-legacy.)
Don't know what to say about the desktop icons - I think he's the first one to have that problem. What desktop environment was it?
Don't know what to say about network connection, because he didn't say anything about what he tried.
Hope that helps.
Hm, maybe I should have the installer add the error log to the installed desktop, so it doesn't get lost when you shut down the live system.

I understand.
I've posted your reply there so I'll see if that works.
I guess he's successfully taken a snapshot and the ISO is booting OK so it's all good news.
