Goodbye For Now (Linspire Go Boom) [RANT]
Wed Feb 22, 2006 5:11 pm
Now, if you don't know this, I am a dedicated Linspire user. Linspire is a desktop Linux. You can find out more at http://www.linspire.com
Well, today. When I tried to boot it up, after my Number Lock turned off, like always, my Caps Lock and Scroll Lock began blinking. I thought maybe it was just a quirk, turned it off, and tried a second time. Same thing. I remember that I'd be having problems with stuff not loading and crashing (the worst was yesterday, when my kPanel crashed -- kPanel is the equivalent to a start bar), so I did a diagnostic. I received a "Kernel Panic" message (and received the same message when doing a Redetect). Now, I do know enough about Linux to know that if "Kernel" and "Panic" are in the same sentence, it's usually not good.
Well, my dad investigated today. A "Kernel Panic", also known as a "Hard Panic" is the final error message, proving that Linux is not loading and will not load until you change your operating system (it's going to become a Linspire Five-O machine when I take my CAT test today). What happened was a driver had some how corrupted, and Linspire didn't load.
So, for now. I am stuck on evil Windows. <_<
I can't wait until I have it back. ^^;;
Rant over.

Does this mean DM go bye-bye? 
Or just that she'll know the pain of Windows like the rest of us?
Remember, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I hope your computer get resurrected as soon as possible

Noes, DM don't go bye-bye. DM say bye-bye to Linspire. Turns out our video card, which was dying, it's drivers corrupted for Linspire, and Linspire runs off of the video card since it doesn't have a registry. So, until we get a new one, I must deal with Windows.

Don't know how much that'll say (for people wanting to know about Kernel Panics).
All I know is I miss Subeta. <_< And Neo. OH, GEEZ. I still need to try to remember my password.
We tried installing Five-O and it didn't work either. n_n

You could always get Ubuntu. 
I haven't personally installed it on any of the computers we have (I want to do a dual-boot, but I don't feel like reformatting my hard drive), but I did a test drive and it's nice.
