I downloaded and burned UBCD-5.03.iso When I boot from it I don't get the expected UBCD memu, I get a Debian Install menu instead, all selections of which takes one down a path which leads to modifying the partition table. At which point I abandon it. The rescue option doesn't do the job either. It simply brings up a debian shell.
View 5 RepliesI have just installed Ubuntu 10.4 x64 onto a machine with Vista Ultimate x64. When I boot the machine, the Windows option comes up in the GRUB menu. However, when I attempt to boot Windows, I receive the following error: No such device: de80ab9f80ab7d21. error: No such partition. Press any key to continue...
I looked around and found a similar issue at [URL] However, before trying to fix the issue by guesswork or via solutions that worked for a similar, though not necessarily identical problem. I've run the boot info script (see output below) mentioned several places on this site as a valuable input for boot problem tracking. how to get Windows to boot on my computer?

I want too create a dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and Ubuntu (64bit). how to do this but I want something special. The boot loader appear. Will be only one password field, no OS names. If I introduce a password will boot in Linux, if I introduce another password will boot in Ubuntu. Also in Ubuntu, you can see windows partitions only if you introduce a password (root or power user).
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe Ultimate Bootable CD (UBCD) is a great live CD with a host of great tools and utlilities, useful to anyone interested in making a broken system bootable again. It is a good idea to familiarise yourself with this CD by having a look through it often,so that when you need to use it you know where things are...learning the command line syntax is better but this is a very useful stop gap while that process is ongoing...
You can have a look at it from here[URL]..download [URL].. burn at 8x I use CD-RW discs to save wasting Cd's...boot the CD up using function key or BIOS set for CD/DVD as first boot device. To navigate the disc...Esc, use Ctrl Alt Delete if you get stuck,Space Bar to insert a tick,Tab to change field,arrow keys to navigate the choices.
I have a 16 gb flash drive and want to dual boot Ultimate Boot Cd and ubuntu persistently my brother somehow managed to edit syslinux to display a menu in which he could choose ubuntu or ubcd but doesnt remember how he did it. I had a look at it and it seemed very complicted. i already have ubcd installed on 1st 2 gig partition and ubuntu persistent 4 gig on 2nd.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed "open-SUSE 11.4" on a "500GB Free Agent External Hard Drive". I didn't have any problem in booting since last week that I booted it from my laptop. Also I did it before several times from then when I try to boot it e.g. from an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz" PC the time between loading INITRD and starting boot sequence messages lasts nearly 30 minutes!(i didn't actually measure it but it take a long time in the same order). after starting boot sequence which is showed on monitor everything looks normal. e.g copy of files would be done by speeds between 2MB/s to 30 MB/s depending on the targets.I used to use the external hard derive to boot from different laptops and PC's from start but I didn't have such a problem anytime.

I click on them and the message says "grub.conf" is not available. Whats up with that? or is there another place to get to the MBR to give me an option between the 2?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm a new user of Linux & I have recently written an application using Glade and GTK for a touch screen interface using Debian V5. The software is now complete and working so the simple bit (i thought) would be to get the software to load when the touchscreen is switched on. I have made a link to the software executable using the system/prefs/sessions option but the software seems to load on startup without the user interface. Looking at the system manager the software does seem to be running but it seems to be in the background. If i load the programme manually the GUI works.

lsmod do lists "nouveau".
So I don't get what's wrong. I have a Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2gb (Lenovo y400 notebook). My graphic card is listed in the supported hardware of "nouveau"
I remember having a very similar problem on Ubuntu and installing the proprietary driver solved it. So maybe my hardware isnt supported by nouveau? But I would prefer to use an open-source driver than the prorietary.
Here is the kernel log: (I pasted only the lines which contains "nouveau")

I have to load the ip_conntrack modules every time I reboot. How do I get the iptables modules to load automatically at boot. It seems they are supposed to auto load when they are needed but they are not doing that. I have to do modprobe on them. also does anyone know where I can download all the modules available for iptables? I looked on the netfiler site and did not learn much.

I have Windows xp and Ubuntu 10.04 in my system and last fine morning I was working in windows and when I restarts the system as there were some problem in the audio I found that the grub is not loading. Computer boots directly in the windows xp mode and not giving the possibility to boot in the ubuntu OS. Also, the windows xp restarts continuously with a blue screen for just a second.
This happened out-of-the blue. What might be the possible reason for this and how to get rid of this problem..
Since several months ago (I think when I upgraded to Karmic), whatever program I add to session startup won't load on boot, and no icon appears at the top-right of the screen, only clock and shutdown button (no audio etc.). [URL] didn't help, nor did searching in forums and bugs. I've enabled debug to /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and this is my .xsession-errors first part:

I removed .recently-used.xbel to avoid recently opened files to be logged, so this explains part of these errors. I had disabled gnome-screensaver but now I would need it to automate screen lock and looks like dbus may be the problem. My .dbus directory is empty.
got a problem after running updates on my 10.10 install. PC doesnt boot at all gets to loading OS then just powercycles. UBUNTU is installed on a 2 disk raid0 array which seems to have changed. It used to run /dev/dm-1 for the root and /dev/dm-2 for the swap
Ive booted to a live cd and it now shows /dev/dm-2 for the root disk and -3 for the swap so im guessing grub is failing. Unfortunately I cant seem to get the device to mount and I fear im going to have to reinstall to fix this.
I want to install a triple boot load consisting of Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04, and Fedora.My question is, if I install Windows 7, followed by another distro, like Fedora, and then install Ubuntu 10.04, will the Ubuntu GRUB 2 menu display all three options?I know if I install Ubuntu and then install Fedora, I have to go through some heavy gyrations to get everything to show in the load menu, so it seems easier to install Ubuntu last.

I am having issues loading Ubuntu 10.10 from USB. I have a HP Compaq nx9110 laptop, p4 3.2 512ram etc with a dead hard drive. I would buy a new HDD but i cant really vouch spending $80Aus on a IDE 2.5 just to play with linux. Anyhow it seems to read the USB stick which was created following the directions on this site but when it attempts to load the Realtec LAN (i think) it seems to get stuck in a loop. I have attached a screen print of what i see, it hangs for a few seconds then starts over with the same writing. Anyone know what that means or how i can fix this so i can try 10.10?
