That wasn't literal, you nimwit.

Holy crap my steam avatar is Yoda, why is this thread so perfect?

Alright, I'll try running it from a 32gb USB stick... thank you very much!

I don't have that. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 with Wubi, all I have is "wubildr", which apparently has a problem; on startup it says "error wubildr" 2 times and then "error: prefix not set.

Here are the contents of wubildr.cfg:

set show_panic_message=true

if search -s -f -n /ubuntu/disks/root.disk; then
if loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk; then
set root=(loop0)
if [ -e /boot/grub/grub.cfg ]; then
if configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg; then
set show_panic_message=false
fi
elif [ -e /grub/grub.cfg ]; then
if configfile /grub/grub.cfg; then
set show_panic_message=false
fi
else
if search -s -f -n /ubuntu/install/wubildr-disk.cfg; then
if configfile /ubuntu/install/wubildr-disk.cfg; then
set show_panic_message=false
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi

if [ ${show_panic_message} = true ]; then
if search -s -f -n /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/grub.cfg; then
if configfile /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/grub.cfg; then
set show_panic_message=false
fi
else
if search -s -f -n /grub.cfg; then
if configfile /grub.cfg; then
set show_panic_message=false
fi
fi
fi
fi

if [ ${show_panic_message} = true ]; then
echo "It is not possible to boot from the Ubuntu image."
echo "Please verify that the Ubuntu installation was not removed."
echo "If that is not the case, please check that the Windows filesystem"
echo "is not corrupted: reboot into Windows and run: chkdsk /r"
echo "Then try again."
fi

It's tf2... but it's tribes... but it's tf2! Okay, it DOES look fun as fuck. Really weird, but fun.

Probably will end up doing that too... does it still work?

Do you have any idea why Ubuntu 12.04 (secondary OS, alongside win7 64) won't boot and only shows a black screen? It's not the first launch, the first launch was fine. It shows an error message with "prefix not set", then would load a black screen but if I mash buttons I can get it into GRUB sometimes. All my friends who know quite a bit about Linux don't know what to do. I'd post screenshots but the OS doesn't actually load so that's not an option. I Might take some with my phone if you need more info. Thanks.

I swear, once my friend was installing something through steam and the "Time remaining" counter stayed at "5 years and 22 days" or something along those lines for about 10 minutes.

The fact that that would even show up is silly.

Anyone else getting the problem of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS not booting and just leading you to the GRUB cmd prompt?

I hate my life

I don't think this was aksed already; why did you quit?

There's a pretty big storm coming here too, shame it's gonna fall right in midterms week. I still haven't skied this year, damnit.

I have a few that are pretty cool. Not sure I'm gonna post all of them, though.
Edit, dropbox is broken, gonna upload later.

In CS, pretty much the only skill that impacts the game is aim(there was Bhopping, but not anymore). You can judge your skill by asking yourself if you hit the guy or not. It's a very one-dimensional game, from what I've seen/played of it. A bit of positioning, but once you know the map that isn't really an issue anymore.
