View 1 RepliesI have an arbiter which determines and manages a lab. I am wondering if it's possible to remotely control the grub boot selection. Right now I have to wait for the nodes to boot, check the hostname and then rsync the new grub configuration and reboot the node, it's VERY timely so I am wondering if there is an alternative to this method?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot system with Windows XP very carefully. Unfortunately, though given the option to boot Windows at the grub menu, when I select it, I get an error. Booting Ubuntu on my other partition works just fine, no issues.
I also attempted to access files from the first partition in Ubuntu using gparted, but once I mounted it, all of my files were not present. I only saw manufacturer files, and many files and folders I didn't recognize.
Also, as an aside, my laptop monitor is suffering from occasional black-outs during use. Ubuntu gave me a little toolbar flag, telling me to go to a website and use the patches given to fix it, but I'm not quite so sure where to input the given patch text. Do I really need to go through the trouble of finding the source code, etc., or is it more simple?
I'm currently having a problem trying to remove the black screen that appears at Start-Up that asks me which operating system I want to run...I've already deleted wubi but this screen keeps appearing every time my computer starts up...How do I remove or disable this feature?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy development target environment is intel corei5 architecture. I want to build my source for i5 architecture. I am paning to use gcc 4.5.1. In the gcc manual i found an option to select the cpu type(-mtune = cpu_type).There is no i5 processor in the cpu type options.If i use -mtune=generic, will it produce optimized code for i5 architecture or it will produce the code for generic x86_64 architecture?

have just installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. I just went along with the manual set-up all through the install. I was expecting to see an obvious option on starting up my computer as to whether to run Ubuntu or Windows but it just goes right ahead and runs windows exactly as it did before the install.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI switched today to slackware-current on one of my desktops to play with it and ran directly into a problem.
Since ages my lilo.conf has two entries for slackware. One for runlevel 3 and one for runlevel 4.
Code:
Since the upgrade this is no more possible because I get a kernel panic as soon as udevadm trigger is called. The stack says something about an unknown boot option. Because that i removed the append lines from my lilo.conf and i was able to boot the system. The crash happens when udev is called from within the ramdisk and afterwards. I tried both.
My question is now. Is this a bug in udev or expected? I have this setup since at least 5 years and had never problems with that. What do I have to do to be able to select the runlevel at boot time?
I want to recompile apache so I can select a different MPM compile time option. I have looked in the graphical application manager, but I don't see a development version of apache like you do for many of the packages. Am I not looking in the right place for the source code for the Apache 2.2.17 available with FC14?
Alternatively, I can download the source from apache.org for 2.2.17. However, the install options default to a host of different directories than the FC14 version does. Being somewhat OCD I hate to mess up my FC14 system by installing to a bunch of anomalous directories, and I don't want to break anything. I can change the default install directories, if I knew what the FC14 apache 2.2.17 was compiled with. There is an httpd-devel-2.2.17-1 package. But the description makes it sound like it is for developing additional modules. I want to recompile the main httpd-2.2.17-1 package. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've set up a triple boot system (Ubuntu Karmic, Windows Vista and OSX86 -- a patched OS X which works on a PC) on a Dell 9200 (C2D 2.13 GHz, 4GB RAM, nVidia G210). I sue Grub2 as the bootloader and update-grub picks up OS X and it boots without any problem.
However, although when booting OS X using its own Darwin bootloader, I can apply the boot option "Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32" to ensure that I get the screen resolution that I want, when OS X boots from Grub2, the only resolution available is 1024x768 which is disappointing. I have tried adding gfxmode=1650x1050x32 to the OS X section of /boot/grub/grub.cfg in Ubuntu but this does nothing.

I'm going over there tonight so does anybody know what Microsoft has worked out to make their OS safe and what I should do about getting his printer printing?
