General :: Grub24Dos Gives Grub2 Capabilities In Grub4dos Package?
Feb 15, 2011
A kind fellow Linux enthusiast told me about DrummerDP project grub24dos.
Here is two links to it.
grub24dos announcement on Reboot
grub24dos on SourceForge
Iam not on that level so I can only trust his words for it. He start up on MsWindows and install it from that OS.
He recommend one do a back up first in case something unexpected happen No warranty.
The very good thing is that it gives grub2 ability to boot isos on a NTFS formatted HDD. Isos that one otherwise had needed to place on a Ext2 formatted partition and that could serve those who want to preserve windows for Gaming?

I want to load grub2 from grub4dos.I want to load directly the grub2 core. I know how to load first 512 bytes from some patition by chainloader and load grub2, but what I need is to load directly grub2 core without passing by bootstriping code (first 512 bytes).So, my first boot manager is grub4dos, then I can load grub2 and later I load Ubuntu. But I think I have to edit --set-root
What I dont know is how.
In hdd 0,7 (sda8) I have Ubuntu 10.10 and /boot/grub/core.img is in sda8 (hd0.7)
I tried this way:
Code:
title grub2
find --set-root /boot/grub/core.img
kernel /boot/grub/core.img

I switched a working Lucid KVM guest from linux-server to linux-virtual and it could not mount root at boot time and issued a panic instead. Switching back (booted from CD and used "rescue a broken system") revived the VM.
My first guess is that some DM driver module needed for LVM is missing from the linux-virtual package.

I would like to install opensuse from hard disk, using GRUB4DOS (or other bootloader). My old notebook has broken cdrom and does not have support for boot from pendrive/external disk. Anyone tried this installation? I have installed Mandriva/Mageia exactly what I'm saying.

I built a multi-boot flash drive using the instructions here but unfortunately, those instructions don't include gparted, and I much prefer gparted to the partition managers that are included. How would I go about loading gparted with grub4dos? Either the zip or the iso version is okay with me, I just want to be able to load the live version of the program. I do know that it is included in the ubuntu livecd that I have loaded on the flash drive, but I prefer the standalone version.

Anybody here know anything about grub4dos? I'm building myself a multiboot flash drive using grub4dos and one of my commands on the menu, obviously, is shutdown. This should be simply "halt" but every time I launch that command, or if I type it into the grub4dos command line, the computer locks up and I have to do a hard reboot.

How many people here bought a ps3 because of linux? Did it factor into your decision to buy the console? Would you have bought an XBox instead if the ps3 had no "other OS" capabilities when you bought it? Just trying to gauge the linux community's opinion on this.

I just finished an install with 4 OS's. DOS, XP, WIN7, and UBUNTU. They work fine no with problems. However, the menu entry to run memtest does not work, However on my other system it works. The failing system is an i7 and the working one is a Core Duo. Both have a lot of ram. The Ubuntu os was copied with GPARTED. So it is identical.The menu.lst was a copy/paste job and then the HDxx's modified as needed. Please take a look and tell me where I went wrong.menulst.txt

I am using grub4dos 0.44 but can't boot directly into Kubuntu. The bootup freezes at the step of reading the initrd. Can't copy 'n paste the exact bootup-message but it looks similar to this one, I found on another forum-thread:
Code:
Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0x06 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0xcff87] Unlike the guy who posted the two lines above, I installed Kubuntu on an ext3-partition (hd0,5), (which is /dev/sda6 in Ubuntu) and without an own bootloader, since I wanna use grub4dos instead of grub2. The installation is fresh - the initrd-file shouldn't be broken. My menu.lst looks like this:

I want to do it by a live CD. For example, I have Fedora and Ubuntu live cd. Where can I copy bootlace command and later how to execute it to install grub4dos under Linux?

if not please redirect to correct area. I will start by saying I know very little about Linux beyond simple usage. My question is about "Syslinux Bootloader chainloaded to GRUB4DOS"
Pendrivelinux has a really awesome utility, one that I have been searching to find for many years. It allows you to put multiple ISOs onto a single USB and selectively boot the images. Mast are live Linux OSs, or repair disks, there is even an option for a Windows install disk. The "menu" is configured for about 30 ISOs right now, and I believe it uses a Grub loader. The link below will take you to the wbsite that hosts the utility download link, lists all the currently supported ISOs, and has the very simple instructions.
url
Once you download the app. there is a file called "menu" that you can edit the list of installed images on the USB drive. I have put:
4-5 Live Linux ISOs
Windows 7 Install files
4-5 rescue CDs
on my USB stick. I deleted the menu items I do not use (a lot of them), and reorganized the menu to my liking.
I know NOTHING about how to figure out the Linux code language. I want to add the following ISO images to the USB, but I am unable to figure out how to write their use into the menu.
Hirens boot CD
Windows XP repair disk
Acronis True Image 2010 recovery disk
I have tried altering already made menus with no success, and I dont even know where to begin. If some of you might be willing to DL the utility, look at the menu structure, I would be very appreciative. I know that you will probably need the ISO images, but they are fairly common. While I am very new here, I am very familiar with forums in general, and would be happy to make a donation for the help, like I said, I have dreamed of such a multiboot solution for many years, and would love to see these added to the options, making it a truly ultimate bootable USB.

Take a look at the picture. 1 refers to the mail icon, which has pidgin in it (I couldn't screenshot while open for some reason), and 2 refers to the icon that can be clicked which has the capabilities to set "available, away, invisible, etc" and that type of thing. Problem is, I no longer use empathy, I use pidgin instant messenger. Can I use the #2 icon referred to in the picture to control my status for pidgin?

i am in the process of setting up my wonderful slackware system on my laptop, and now i would like to make sure i am able to run as much multimedia as possible (to be up to snuff in this realm with mac and windows users). i am running slackware x86_64 version 13.0 with a full install (but only with the software sets a, ap, d, f, k, kde, l, n, x, xap, y) and have installed flash-player-plugin from slackbuilds.org.
recently i stumbled upon this website: [url] it explains precisely what i would like to know: which packages should i install to get a fully-featured multimedia slackware install (and in which order should i build/install these packages to take care of dependencies). i emailed the author to make sure this guide was up to date with slackware 13, but, sadly, it is not. it seems that mr. anderson uses slackware 12.2, and thus there may be inconsistencies between what this guide explains and what works on the newest slackware. for example, mplayerplug-in has been depreciated in favor of gecko-mediaplayer. i need to know if more of this has happened. i would simply test it myself, but i have been distro-hopping reinstalling repeatedly over the past few weeks for various reasons, and i am trying to avoid dirtying up my system too much and having to reinstall yet again.
so i ask of you, does mr. anderson's list apply to slackware 13.0, or are there any changes that need to be made? i ask because someone here may have already used this guide and may be willing to share their knowledge and experience on it. eric's vlc slackbuild is very interesting, and i plan to run that, so vlc and its dependencies are covered. my multimedia needs are not too demanding, but i do expect web media to work flawlessly. i often visit www.apple.com and watch movie trailers, guided tours, etc., so i need quicktime videos on the web to work. videos and online flash games already work fine with flash-player-plugin. i also visit some web sites that have windows media formats being streamed (.wmv and .wma).

When I first turn on I get the windows boot manager where I can choose between openSUSE 11.2 installer (LOCAL) and Windows Vista. Selecting either has the same result of trying to boot the openSUSE. This results in error 17 and pressing any key takes me to the GRUB4DOS where I can get to the command prompt.

I just started using suse, so a few questions claws-mail 3.7.5, I have no print capabilities, there is no print icon showing, also the spam filter is greyed out. I have loaded bogofilter, but I noticed the amount of rpms listed is much less than my last distro, including the advanced filtering. Are these rpms on another repo somewhere.

I'm very new to linux and would like to build a 64-bit file server to backup my pc and laptop, I would also like it to have HTPC capabilities because it will be stored in my "man cave", where me and mates seem to hang out a fair bit. I've never built an AMD system before and would like this build to be AMD.
This is what I've come up with so far:
64-bit system:
Case: Thermaltake V3 with 450W PSU
CPU: Athlon II x2 255 3.1GHz
Mobo: ASRock 880GXH-USB3
HDD: WD Green 500Gb for OS, 2x Samsung EcoGreen 2Tb for storage (one will be kept off site)
Memory: 1x Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 4Gb DDR3
[Code]...
I'm not sure about all this being compatible with linux, like the tuner, but I have read that you can get this working. I'm on a pretty tight budget so I can't upgrade to higher end components, but would like suggestions on components where I could save a few $$ or if any of these components are overkill.

I'd like to modify a linux distro, specifically Puppy, so that the drivers/mechanisms for mounting local HDDs and Networking is Disabled completely. A step further than simply disabling "auto-mounting" at boot time, I don't even want mounting to be possible (at least by default).Likewise, further than just disabling network devices, I'd like to remove the ability to use network devices. How are these "mounting" and "device drivers" mechanisms implemented, where are they, and what are my options?

It is known that binaries with the SetUID bit enabled are a threat for the system.I saw on this ArchLinux wiki[URL].tead_Of_Setuida way to limit the use of SetUID bit thanks to POSIX capabilities.It looks very interesting.Does anyone of you used it already?Is it a burden for the system afterwards (like binaries not working, needing to be fixed); or is it seamless

I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 onto an older laptop for my boss. However, after installation I lost all internet capabilities... both through wireless and ethernet connections. There is zero indication that Ubuntu is picking up any wireless connections at all and when I plugged into an ethernet connection Ubuntu acts as if it is trying to connect, however unsuccessfully. I have eliminated the internet connection as my problem because I was able to connect with my laptop running 9.10 with no problem. I have searched and searched everywhere for fixes to this problem however 99% of them need an internet connection to install the required firmware and drivers... is there any OFFLINE solution out there?The computer is a Compaq Presario 2200 with a Boradcom Corp BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller

I have an internal PCI sound card, and I would like to find out what MIDI capabilities it has, if any. It is currently using the ens1370 ALSA driver. It has the standard Line in, Line out, and Mic jacks, as well as what appears to be a game port. I think it has some MIDI capabilities, because "cat /dev/snd/midiC0D0" does not fail with "no such device or address," but I don't know if it has MIDI input capabilities, or if it can synthesize, or what. Is there any way to tell?
