Ubuntu :: Grub2 Configuration - Adding Entries For Other Kernels

Mar 5, 2011

Is it possible to add menu entries for older kernels to boot instead of the latest?

I have tried this in Ubuntu 10.04 and it hasn't worked.

This used to be possible with ease in grub legacy.

I copied the current menu entry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg and pasted it in the /etc/grub.d/ 20_custom file.

Then I changed the kernel number to the older kernel number and the initrd number too. #update-grub puts this entry into 'grub.cfg', but it doesn't work.

I get:

The old kernel is in /boot as well as the respective initrd and config files.

Ubuntu :: Edit The Bootloader Entries (remove Some Existing Ones - Not Adding Any)

Mar 31, 2010

I installed Ubuntu in a dual-boot with Windows 7, and installed the bootloader (GRUB? However, I have some weird Windows XP Embedded entry! I also have a lot of different boot options for Ubuntu. All I want is my Windows 7 entry (picked up as Windows Vista) and my main Ubuntu entry. How can I edit the bootloader entries (remove some existing ones, not adding any) so I have only two on there?

Server :: Adding LDAP People Entries That Are Not Users

Jan 22, 2010

I currently have an LDAP database on my Suse 10.2 server for managing authentication and controlling emails for my Cyrus email server. I use this setup to provide email functionality to my web and email hosting clients, as well as DNS functionality, and it uses the default LDAP database that was setup when OpenLDAP was initially configured. Email support is working wonderfully, I might add. I also tested and verified the use of an email lookup directory in two different email clients (Outlook and Evolution) so that I can tell one of my clients how to lookup the email address of users who are setup in the LDAP server, and it works beautifully.

However, I'd also like to be able to allow my clients to build a shared contact database that can also be used in their email clients so that they can share them among all of their users. Ideally, I would need to be able to allow each client to have their own database of shared contacts, and I assume this would be done by creating a new LDAP database for each client company (i.e. group of users) that can contain the list of shared contacts for any of that client's users. When they configure their email client directory settings, they would enter the base path to their database in order to retrieve their shared contact database entries.

In my web searches, I've found plenty of CRM solutions on the web that claim to provide this type of functionality, but I believe that OpenLDAP contains everything I need to make this work without adding another layer of software to the server solution. (I subscribe to the "Keep it Simple, Stupid!" approach whenever possible.) Essentially, I need to have People entries in a client's LDAP database that are NOT email users on the system. The fields in the standard people schema are all the fields they would need - as long as I can figure out how best to add these non-user entries in the LDAP database. Are there any potential difficulties in creating additional LDAP databases expressly for this purpose?

Are there any tricks to adding contact entries into a client's LDAP database without them also being current email users on the server, so that those entries can be retrieved through an Email Client directory lookup? I will also want to provide an easy method for my client users to add new entries to their LDAP contact database, most likely through a web interface for them that could then issue LDAP commands on the server based on the input fields for the new contact. (I don't believe this is possible from within the email client itself.) Is there any reason this could not be done with the proper configuration? What should I be aware of as I setup this contact management web interface? Is there a better way for non-technical client users to manage this list of shared contacts?

Fedora :: Dual Booting - Grub Keeps Adding New Entries On Updates

Aug 21, 2011

I'm kinda new to Linux. My problem is that a new Fedora O/S entry is added onto grub everytime I receive an update on Fedora (I think). Eg:

Fedora 15 15.40.0-4 ...
Fedora 15 15.40.0-3 ...
Fedora 15 15.38.0-0 ...
Windows 7

How do I stop this? Ideally I'll only have two entries, Fedora 15 and Windows 7 where Windows is set as the default primary o/s to boot up. The current method I use is to fiddle around with that grub file and set default to entry 3, which used to be Windows 7 but is now a Fedora (which means Fedora is now set to default boot up).

Server :: Adding Entries Directly In Password Shadow File

Mar 11, 2011

I am working on building a customized ISO image of a server based on linux. The thing is after the server is installed and run for the first time, three users have to be created for the various services to run properly. I want this to be automated. To achieve this what is was thinking is automatically enter the user entries in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files through init scripts when the server starts for the first time after the installation. I tried creating user and assigning password in one of my machine, and the /etc/passwd and the /etc/shadow entries of this user I copied it into the other machine and tried login in on the other machine and everything worked fine. How I am trying to achieve this.

Ubuntu :: Multiple Entries In Menu After Upgrade

Sep 19, 2010

I know someone posted a sim. query back in 2008, but I'm know getting the same issue in Lucid. I installed the latest updates last night and when I rebooted I found I had what looks like multiple copies of the same kernel entry in the Menu.lst. I've included my file for review. Sorting this out. Otherwise I reckon Lucid is rock solid. I do tend to leave a lot of default entries in commented out. Will this make my boot slower at all?

Ubuntu :: Grub 2 Menu - Duplicate Entries

Dec 5, 2010

For the past few weeks I have been using the lastest Ubuntu OS. The following menu pops-up during the boot process.

GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae (recovery mode)
Memory test (mentest86+)
Memory test (mentest86+, serial console 115200)
Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)

Just recently the menu displays duplicate entries. The first two entries are repeated (see below). What might have caused these duplicate entries to appear and how to correct them? Before this problem occurred I did not issue any sudo commands.

GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae (recovery mode)

Ubuntu :: Duplicate Entries In Places Menu?

Apr 2, 2011

I see this posted in several places in the past but no answers. If I use UUID in fstab to mount additional partitions I get duplicate entries for the partitions in the Places Menu. I can solve the problem by mounting the partitions by Label ( /dev/sdb2 /mountpoint ) but half of the time grub2 will not mount the drive correctly using this method and will change the volume ID (sdb2 becomes sdf2) .

Ubuntu :: Grub2 Menu Keeps Showing Nonexistent OS Entries / Get Rid Of These?

Jan 24, 2010

When I originally installed Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, I had the following operating systems already installed:

Kubuntu 9.04
Windows 7
Windows XP

Ubuntu automagically created a GRUB2 menu that offered all of these, plus of course itself, which was fine for a while.

Later on, I deleted and reformatted the partitions that had been dedicated to Kubuntu 9.04. GRUB2 has failed to keep up. Despite running "sudo update-grub" multiple times, the GRUB2 menu continues to show entries for Kubuntu 9.04.

How do I get rid of these obsolete entries? The partitions it was on simply do not exist any longer, so I don't know how GRUB2 is picking it up.

I had already edited my fstab file to reflect the new partitioning scheme, so I don't know where GRUB2 is getting the idea that I still have Kubuntu 9.04 installed.

Ubuntu :: Can't Remove Extra Entries From GRUB 2 Menu?

Jun 6, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 dual booted with Windows XP. Ever since I installed 9.10, I get a long list of OS's (actually, multiple repeats of what appears to be the same Ubuntu install), and I can't get rid of them.I've looked through various tutorials and the GRUB 2 Community documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2) but I still can't get rid of the menu items.I edited the 40_custom file and was able to add the entries I wanted to see, and then chmoded 644 all the other files in the /etc/grub.d directory and run update-grub.The custom entries do appear at the end of the menu now, but the old entries are still there as well. This is what I get when I run the update-grub:

Code:
yoodle@HANSOLO:/etc/grub.d$ sudo update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub

Ubuntu :: Changing Grub2 Menu Entries Order?

Jun 25, 2010

As it stands right now, Grub2 seems to generate menu entries in this order (for my pc)
Ubuntu 2.6.32-22
Ubuntu 2.6.32-22 (recovery)
Ubuntu 2.6.32-21
Ubuntu 2.6.32-21 (recovery)
Windows XP

How can I make it so that Grub generates entries in this order
Ubuntu 2.6.32-22
Windows XP
Ubuntu 2.6.32-22 (recovery
Ubuntu 2.6.32-21
Ubuntu 2.6.32-21 (recovery)

If you're wondering why I care about the order, its because I just installed Grub with an icon based theme. In that situation, it looks silly to have 4 Ubuntu Icons next to each other, and then the windows one at the end.

Ubuntu :: Cleaning Up Dead Entries In Grub 2 Menu?

Jul 18, 2010

I have two leftover entries in the Grub2 menu after running update-grub. One is leftover from an Ubuntu installation under Windows 7 referring to a Vista boot. Never had Vista on my system, and if I were to select this option it will lock my computer. Same deal with an older Jaunty boot option - as I have identical worded options one good and one dead option.

If I have to live with these two dead selections on my Grub2 menu I will. But I'd rather get rid of them. I don't want to use an old tool for Grub editing that is no longer workable for Grub 2.

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Edit Grub2 Menu Entries

Oct 22, 2010

i have been running Kubuntu 10.04 on my primary hard drive, and i have a second 1.5TB HD that i use for storage. so shrunk the secondary HD partition and created a second 50GB partition and i installed Ubuntu 10.10 on it and told it to rewrite the mbr on my primary HD. Where i am at: i took the menu entry from my Kubuntu "grub.cfg" and the entry from my Ubuntu "grub.cfg" and put them in the 40_custom file. so now when i boot-up my computer, it shows both installations at the bottom of Grub2s menu list. with all the menu entries that Grub automatically adds.

What i would like to know is how do i make it so that the Grub2 menu only shows the entries that i add to the 40_Custom file and not the randomly generated list aswell.

Ubuntu Installation :: Redirecting Grub 2 (Bootloader) Menu Entries

Feb 23, 2011

I'm familiar with Ubuntu and the like, and have GRUB 2 installed as my boot-loader. I was wondering if there was any way to get one menu entry to be re-directed to another. Specifically, whenever I select my third menu entry, I want it to execute the code on menu entry 10. My reason for doing this would be that after customizing my GRUB 2 menu, I came into the problem of updated kernels. Basically I would like a single "Ubuntu, Latest Kernel" entry that always redirected to menuentry 10, where my latest "Ubuntu, linux 2.6.xx-x-generic" entry is. In order to temporarily solve my issue, I've set my "/etc/default/grub" file's "GRUB_DEFAULT" to "9", although I'd rather not do this.

Debian Programming :: Add Entries To Existing Menu

Jan 12, 2014

What I would like to do is, with a right click, have the menu give me the option to run srm, which is a "secure remove" program. I picked this one as it requires not only a file name, but some other options. I've run into no support adding things to menus. When I updated one of the Debian versions, I lost the shutdown option from the name menu that used to be there. It was suggested that I right click and pick that option to restore it, but I get the same as the left button on that menu.
