Install Ubuntu 9 on Virtual PC 2007 – part trois
There is one last problem with the Ubuntu install, when you update the Kernel it will remove the noreplace-paravirt vga=771 that you added.
This is probably because Ubuntu assumes you made a mistake. Whatever the reason you need to update the menu.lst file.
First of all lets make sure that you read all the previous articles so we are all talking about the same thing.
- Install Ubuntu 9 on Virtual PC 2007.
- Update the menu.lst after install.
- Update the menu.lst again after updating the kernel.
From time to time Ubuntu will update various software, (or you can do it your self, System > Administration > Update Manager. Any one of those update might be a brand new kernel update, in that case you will need to edit the menu all over again.
- Open the terminal , (‘Applications>Accessories>Terminal’)
- At the cursor type ‘gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst‘, (without the quotes), press enter.
- Enter your password if you have to.
- Look for the first boot option
1234## ## End Default Options ##title ...uuid ...kernel ... - look for the entry that mentions ‘Kernel’.
- Add ‘noreplace-paravirt‘ at the end of it.
- Save the file
- Close the editor.
- Tell Ubuntu that you changed the file:
1sudo update-grub - Reboot and everything should be back to normal … until you update again.
NB: If you cannot boot at all, (because your screen is black or throwing some errors), simply follow the same instructions in the first article on booting up Ubuntu.
NB2: If you still have a question, feel free to go to the forum and I’ll try to help as much as I can.

Tackling the map issue
I have finally started working on the map issue we have been having. The problem is that the map is perfect when it comes to looking far away but it is blurry, (at best when looking at it up close)
In courseplanner version 3 the map was actually a set of points of the world that was drawn. The result was a far from picture perfect image but it worked rather well when zooming in really close, (about as close as an airport for example).
So I am going to re-add the outlining and try to ‘marry’ the NASA photo realistic image with the outline drawing.
Another option is to offer the 600Mb map of the world to the users. Maybe ship it to them via CD or something, (maybe allow a download?) This will partly solve the problem and make the image even more realistic, (the definition is 50M or something like that. So the map should be close to ‘perfect’ I hope.
But, before I do that, let me finish the outline. I see that a few flight planners offer the outline to simplify the view, so let me also try it.
As I am on leave for the next few days I will try and get it all done in 3 or 4 days.
