Hi Richard, thanks for advice. The system "Debian/GNU 8 ( jessie )" is installed on /dev/sdb but we needed the windows on /dav/sda, however... no the /dev/sda hd has been corrupt and has to be replaced. So I think if I can install grub to the master boot sector of /dev/sdb, computer hardware can handle different boot-devices... can I install grub with grub install /dev/sdab ?
I must have 17" because i need the NB on stage, i'm musician and have to read sheets, some double sided and 15" is, maybe, to small.. other of my computers a desktop iMac and intel and a old mac powerbook 17", all of these with Debian jessie installed... But I like to figure out some software, under Linux, for synthesizer and the ability to connect the EWI via midi , usb soundcard Native Instruments "Komplete Audio 6" works fine under Linux and has phantom-power and midi also... I like to use and have a sheet- seeing - option additional best regards, Peter Am Sonntag, den 11.10.2015, 08:09 -0500 schrieb Richard Owlett: > Peter Berlau wrote: > > Hello, > > > > > > Can You please help me? > > > > i updated all of our computer to Debian 8 jessie > > > > hardware > > 1. 64 bit Intel ( noname ) 4 GB-RAM .. o.k. > > 2. apple powerbook ( 2004 ) 2 GB RAM .. no sound > > 3. apple iMac ( 2010 ) 8 GB RAM .. o.k. > > > > i installed on all these 'xfce' this runs ok > > as I see, here in list, some problems are solved if switched to > > gnome ? > > > If you don't like the "look and feel" of Gnome3 (many don't), I > find Mate to be comfortable to use. > > > > > > > > Other Probs i have > > > > WIFI HP Officejet 7500 driver hp-officejet_7500_e910 > > prints fine, but i can not scan... xscanimage shows " wrong > > argument" I did not know what this mean or > > what i should do... > > Links and sub-links from > https://www.google.com/search?q=Officejet+7500++scan+problem+site:debian.org > may be useful. > > > > > in one of the computers i like to install grup to the second hd > > /dev/sdb, because the /dev/sda is has errors and i like to > > replace it, therefore i need to boot from the /dev/sdb2. > > That is possible if your BIOS allows specifying the boot device. > During the install, you may have to chose the "expert > installation" mode to have the option. > > > [snip Mac question] > > > > i like to have a Notebook 17" for Debian/GNU two > > must run windows ( Band in a Box and Sibelius ) but mostly ( > > > 95% ) run Debian/GNU Linux jessie > > I am not familar with hardware > > Budget is € 820,- maximal... > > need 17" because I need the nb on stage for Sheets ( some double > > - pages ) > > I think about 'Lenevo' or 'asus' what would You prefer? > > I find my used Lenovo laptops (T43 and R61) reliable. > > If one of your existing machines is suitable except for display > size, have you considered a digital TV as a monitor.
