Well, had to reinstall Debian. I couldn’t see any other way out of my misery.
I’d just bought a dead cheap DVD-burner. Installed it instead of my old DVD-Rom, and tried the ‘thing’ in Windoze, worked perfectly! Did some testing with a couple of movies, not illegal ones (don’t worry I have none) but some I did previously with my DV-cam and my kids. Worked as expected, Great! Now I just want to try this out on my Linux…
So, I ‘boot’ up my Debian…and suddenly it halt’s….waiting!.. Nothing…it’s stopped, try pressing [CTRL+Alt+Delete]..Nothing.. it just said something like ‘keyboard character whatever not supported’…bla bla bla, what the hell do I care! ‘The only thing I did was change a DVD-Rom drive for gods sake. Tell me I can get around this’ I was on my knees, crying!! well actually not, I just reinstalled the bugger.
Don’t mess with a windoze nerd, we’ll just reinstall!!!
I might end up being really glad I did. Learning a lot from it…I mean you learn a lot by doing wrong sometimes…
