I recently installed a 64-bit version of centOS 5 alongside a 32-bit version, which I use. Turns out the 64-bit version absolutely will not boot and I'm stuck with it as my default boot option. Since the grub being used resides on the 64-bit half, I cant edit the menu file but I know theres a way to do this without it, through grub itself. I have about 29 render nodes now with this problem, and whenever they need to be rebooted I have to hook a monitor up to each one and hold its hand through the boot process. How to change the grub menu through grub itself, basically just change the default boot option and then have it stay that way?

but i can't find the K menu > System Settings > Advanced Tab > Disk & File Systems menu.it disappeared in kubuntu 9.10?
I would like to be able to change which OS is the default for grub to boot, and I would like to be able to do so easily from either Ubuntu or Windows. I suspect that this may be possible if I put /boot on an ntfs or FAT32 partition (though I do not wish to install Ubuntu itself on such a partition). There I would put multiple versions of menu.lst specifying different defaults. Then, before a restart, I can run a script which will copy, as the 'true' menu.lst, the one which specifies the desired default for my next boot.
Is this possible? If so, what do I need to worry about? (I must admit that it is unclear to me how the code in the MBR even finds the correct menu.lst.)
There is a thing I have worried about with a dual booted system and which I suspect I do not need to worry about. However, I would like to be reassured. I have ntfs partitions and removable drives which both Windows and Ubuntu can access. If a crash occurs which leaves a drive "dirty" (e.g., after a power fail), I am assured that if I reboot the OS in which the crash occurred, it will realize that the drive is "dirty" and will take measures to assure that no corruption will ensue. However, I am not so sure about the correct response if the next OS I boot is different from the one that crashed. I think Ubuntu and Windows both use the same convention for noting that a drive is "dirty", in which case I am worrying about nothing.
The relevance of the above worry in this menu.lst context is that, if it is important to reboot the same OS after a crash, then I would also include for each OS on _startup_ a script that would make itself be the default for a next boot.
How can I modify my grub menu? I remember that on openSuSe was /boot/grub/menu.lst. But in debian there isn't it. In ubuntu is the same for modifying grub menu?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a bit of an odd problem that's been happening to me recently. My home folder is a version of Fedora old, I've been using the same one between Fedora 11 and 12 (which I'm now using).
When booting up, I notice that my system fonts are not the ones I have manually set. They're the ugly version, whatever exact font it is. It's only when I select System->Appearances from the menu that the system seems to detect my seletions to use Liberation fonts in all areas, and then everything instantly switches to the more visually pleasing Liberation fonts. This is a strange bug, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or can point me in the right direction?
I removed the panel that had two icons, because I only wanted to delete one of them. It was in the rightmost upper corner. It had an icon with chat related stuff, ubuntu one, etc. The 2nd icon had logout, shutdown, etc. I want that icon back. But I can't find it in the add to panel menu. Before removing the icon I checked its about message, and I think it was called the "about panel." But there is nothing resulting from a search for about in the panel menu.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora Core 13 x86-64 from the installation DVD and picked the "Software Development" installation. I notice that the Applications->System Tools menu doesn't have "File Browser" on it.
Nautilus is installed, so I can create a launcher for it. I'm merely curious whether this is a change or bug in FC 13? Or should I suspect that I myself deleted the file browser launcher accidentally? The machine is a laptop and I find the mousepad awkward to use.
My Grub2 boot menu includes:
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode)
Q1) I only really need the latest kernel, 2.6.31-19, don't I?
Q2) So how can I get rid of the two 2.6.31-14 entries?
I've been using Ubuntu for quite some time now and my context menu has become cluttered with a lot of applications that I don't use or menu items that I have never used - and most likely won't use.
So I want to remove them, or at least disable them.
So, after searching Google (irrelevant or old results) so then I tried Google with [URL] but nobody has had their problem solved.
Edit: I've looked through GConf-Editor, found nothing, and have looked through the directories .Cache/.Config/.Local/.Nautilus in my home diretory and nothing came up of relevance in the first three and the .Nautilus directory was empty.
I just recently uninstalled gtkpod and lmms using synaptic with a complete removal, and the icons are still there. When I click them they say: Error Could not launch 'Linux MulitMedia Studio' Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/lmms" (No such file or directory)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am testing my crash recovery strategy for my linux system and I am having trouble with GRUB. I am basically restoring my backup (i.e. tar) unto a different hard drive, but I am having problems getting the machine to boot without me having to type the GRUB commands at the GRUB prompt that is presented when the machine boots up off the new hard drive. I have tried to restore the MBR in two ways (the 2nd one is the one that gets me to the GRUB prompt):
1. Get the MBR off the original drive and write it unto the new drive (all via dd), but that did not work at all: the machine hangs right away during boot up. It seems to hang right at the point where the BIOS tries to read the MBR.
Code:
On original drive:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr+part.bin bs=512 count=1
On new drive (new drive is now in place of original drive):
# dd if=mbr+part.bin of=/dev/sda bs=1 count=446 conv=notrunc
2. By using the FEDORA rescue CD, I installed grub unto the new hard drive as follows:
Code:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# grub-install --root-directory=/boot hd0
reboot and remove FEDORA CD Using the 2nd option above, I get the GRUB> prompt during bootup. I can then boot into the system by issuing the commands that are in the menu.lst file, followed by the "boot" command. However, I would like for those commands to happen automatically, just like in the original configuration. It seems to me that GRUB is actually finding all its stage files because I doubt the GRUB program (the one displaying the prompt) fits entirely in the 446 bytes it has on the MBR. So, it must be loading its stage 2 (and stage 1.5??) files from my /boot partition. However, if GRUB is loading its stage files off the boot partition, why does it not load/read the menu.lst/grub.conf contained in the boot partition also?
Code:
# ls -l /boot
