Ubuntu :: BURG - GRUB Install Error ?

Mar 18, 2010

I tried to download BURG, as instructed by this site (OMG UBUNTU)

I thought that the process might be too dangerous, so I removed all the packages that had were part of Grub2. GRUB however I left installed. After a reboot, The PC comes up to a menu that looks just like this:

Code:

Minimal BASH line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. grub>_I tried typing 'boot', but it said, "no loaded kernel."

Ubuntu :: Installing BURG In Place Of GRUB?

May 28, 2010

while using StumbleUpon to find all things computer related, I found a VERY interesting article on BURG, something that makes grub look beautiful.My question is, how safely can I install this? Could somebody modify the instructions for me if my Linux drive /dev/sdb, and I have /home and /usr mounted on different partitions? Working with the bootloader has always been a wee bit over my head

Ubuntu :: Grub 2 And Burg - Have 9 Icons When Boot ?

Oct 8, 2010

So I'm using Burg over Grub2. Problem is I have 9 icons when I boot. I really want to remove them. I tried removing old packages in synaptics but that didn't work.

At this point I don't care to remove anything so much as just hide the icons I don't want.

Here's a full list. [X] indicates I would like it hidden.

Oh and if I just installed updates so that I'm now using -25 can I delete -21?

Ubuntu :: Installed Burg - Tried To Update - Got Syntax Error ?

Jun 14, 2010

I just installed BURG and the installationguide told med to run sudo update-burg. When I do that, I get this message: /etc/default/burg: 7: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

On another page, in the comments, I found out that deleting a line in the /etc/default/burg can fix it. But my problem is that I don't now which line.

My guess is about line number seven, but as I'm saying, I'm not sure.

Ubuntu :: Install BURG Now Cant Get Into Either OS?

Oct 7, 2010

im totally new to ubuntu and recently installed it alongside windows 7 just now i tried to install BURG by copying a code i got from a website (dont remember which) into a terminal when i restarted my computer to see if it had worked the following came up

BURG version 1.98+20100623-1 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.

iv looked at every solution from every related forum post but i still cant get into either operating system on my computer. i dont have either of the installation discs which is why i really need to be able to get back into windows, as well as my files and settings. i dont mind if i have to completely remove ubuntu and everything to do with it, as i can easily set that up again in a matter of minutes. right now i just need a way to return my computer to how it was before i installed ubuntu

Ubuntu :: No Display After Botched BURG Install?

Nov 24, 2010

and I did a silly noobish thing. I have been using Ubuntu in various flavors for a little over a year now, and decided to install it alongside my Win7 Install on my desktop. Last week I read about BURG on omgubuntu.co.ukI am fairly certain I botched the install of burg somehowWhenever I turn on the computer, there is no display, not Mobo splash screen, not post, no GRUB menu nothing. the Display light is orange, indicating no input detected. But I know the OS is loading, I can hear it bootup, I can login, just by pressing enter, then typing my password, then enter again. Once I hear the login screen drum beat, if I turn off the monitor, then turn it on again, I get a super low res display. the driver works, compiz effects work, but everything is at 640 x 480. when I go to system-> preferences-> monitor the display is labeled as unknown and I can't change the resolution.I can access the BIOS, but the screen still does not detect the input, even if I power cycle the monitor after access the BIOS, so I won't try to change any settings, as I can't see what I am doing. The only reason I know I am in the Bios is that I can press f10 and then y to cause it to reset to default settings and cause a reboot.My system:ATi Radeon hd5870AMD Phenom II X4 3.4 GHzWD Velociraptor 300 Gb4 GbRamASUS M4A78-E

Ubuntu :: To Burg Or Not To Burg?

May 7, 2011

Has anyone played with Burg? I'm a bit apprehensive about trying it.This laptop had 10.10 as the only OS but I shrank the partition and installed 11.04 in the empty space.So 11.04 re-wrote the Grub with itself at the top of the list.So now I have 10.10 in sda1 and 11.04 in sda6.Do you think that Burg will cause any problems?

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Error: Unknown Filesystem And Grub Error: No Such Disc

Nov 23, 2010

I have a dual boot system with ubuntu 9.10 x64 and Windows 7. Everything has been working fine for a a long time but yesterday I tried to delete an unused partition through the Disk Utility in ubuntu (System->Adminstration->Disk Utility) and everything was messed up. I used to get the "Grub error: Unknown filesystem". I managed to create an ubuntu bootable usb and followed some tutorials for fixing grub but all i managed to do is to get another error: "Grub error: No such disc". After some experimentation i got
"Grub stage 1.5" which gave me a grub> command prompt./dev/sda is the drive containing Windows and Ubuntu.

OpenSUSE Install :: Grub Error After Install And First Reboot?

Dec 21, 2010

I tried several times to install sue 11.3 on a amd 64 system by configuration a soft raid1 by this order:

md0 /boot
md1 /
md2 swap

or my problem, after configuration and install over the dvd and yast installation menu, after the first reboot I have a grub error -> nothing found.If i try to setup suse 11.2 over the same method, it works.after a system upgrade to 11.3 all is working fine. The only problem is by installing directly the 11.3 I also re-download the dvd and try over the netcd and it's all the time the same error.I searched in the forum but nothing found (perhaps i do a wrong search)

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Error 15 On New Install Of 10.4 LTS

Jan 3, 2011

I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to the 10.4 LTS from 8.10. Did a complete fresh install and chose to automatically clean off the drive and install the new system from scratch.I have three hard drives with the system on the smaller 40GB and the other two drives are 500GB and 2TB.

From what I can tell my problem probably stems from having the older Grub 0.97 on the system on another drive, but I can't seem to figure out how to purge it. When I mount the partitions, there is no /boot folder... The following is the output from the Boot Info Script:

Code:

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Loading Error When Install 9.10?

Jan 8, 2010

I went through the procedure to install Ubuntu 9.10 alongside Windows XP. The installation completed without complaint. But when I reboot the PC I get the error message "Grub loading error: no such partition...". and the keyboard is dead. I am using a Sony vaio PCG-FR215H laptop on which I have fitted new HDD and CD-drive. I carried out the installation by first booting up a live version of Ubuntu on a USB thumb drive and then clicking on the 'install Ubuntu' icon on the Live Ubuntu desktop. (I coudn't use a Live CD to install as this fails for some reason). I regained use of Windows XP on the PC by booting with a Windows 95 boot floppy and typing "fdisk /mbr". So, does anyone know what might have cased this grub error? Also, are there ways to try and fix the problem manually. I.e. can I get a copy of good versions of the files that are likely corrupted and then replace the stuff that I will have written over when I did the "fdisk /mbr"?

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Error 15 On Clean Install / Fix It?

Dec 11, 2010

I reformatted my root partition and boot partitions and installed ,averick but zhen I boot I get a grub 15 error. I might have made a mistake on the partitioning screen zhen I selected /dev/dsa6 for the GRUB bootloader - this is my dedicated /boot partition - and don't know how to fix it now

my current fstab is code...

By mounting all partitions one by one I can see now that everything has moved around so that

sda is the bigbastard drive - 500GB - that was sdb previously
sdb is supersize/basckup and was sdc before
the paritions on sda have moved to sdc

I have no idea hot to put everything back

Ubuntu Installation :: Fresh Install Of 8.10 Over 9.10 Causes Grub 'no Such Disk' Error

Jan 27, 2010

I have a dual boot machine (Win XP + Ubuntu 9.10 on separate physical drives) which was working fine. I now want to replace the Ubuntu 9.10 with LinuxMCE which is based on Ubuntu 8.10. Using the LinuxMCE install disk, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 over the top of Ubuntu 9.10 (repartitioning the whole drive). On reboot, I now get a Grub "no such disk" error. I have run the boot info script which produced the following RESULT.txt:

Code:
Boot Info Summary:
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks for
(UUID=6a59ab9e-041f-41e2-b27c-02b8ada4c1af)/boot/grub.
=> Grub 0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and looks on the same drive
in partition #1 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.
=> Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdc

Ubuntu :: Grub Error 18 After Install Of Jaunty Alongside Lucid?

Apr 11, 2010

I had installed Lucid on a clean install on my laptop - three partitions - ext4 home, ext4 lucid and swap.I've been using it for around a week, and find it a bit buggy in places, so I thought I would install jaunty (which proved very reliable in the past). I used the usual installer, and made my /home partition smaller, and created a new ext3 partition for jaunty, assigning the smaller partition to /home.The install proceded without any problems, but on rebooting I just get this:GRUB Loading stage1.5GRUB loading, please wait...Error 18I was hoping that Jaunty would not install grub, but I didn't see any option to prevent this during the installation. I suspect Grub 1.5 has been installed and now it's all messed up

General :: Install Ubuntu On The Hard Drive - Grub Error 21 ?

Sep 5, 2010

I bought a new hard drive. I thought it would be clever and SAFE to install Ubuntu on the Hard Drive so that would not interfere with the internal hard drive on my laptop. It worked fine until I disconnected the hard drive. I got the "Grub Error 21" when I installed. I know how to get around it, unfortunately, I have to lug around this hard drive whenever my computer sleeps or restarts. I would like to be able to restart and boot into Windows without my hard drive connected. Is this possible?

OpenSUSE Install :: GRUB Error 17 On External HDD

Apr 9, 2011

I recently decided to try out openSUSE 11.4 with gnome and install it on my external USB HDD. To do so i followed this guide here SDB:Installation on external hard drive - openSUSE

Unfortunately after finishing the install when trying to boot into the system i got GRUB error 17. The only thing i did differently from the guide was placing the /boot partition after a ~800 GB NTFS partition with my data.

I tried to solve the problem by reinstalling the system with different settings than before. After completing all of the steps in the guide mentioned i disabled booting from MBR and enabled booting from /boot partition. Also set the installer to write generic boot code to MBR.

Though after the installation i realized that grub is not loading at all this time and went on to fix it by completing the steps here SDB:All about GRUB - openSUSE . After doing so i'm back to GRUB error 17.

Installation :: Grub Error 17 After Fresh Install

Jan 27, 2010

I have an odd problem. I custom-built a workstation:
MSI Speedster 1 mobo
2x Opteron 2352
4x DDR2 ECC 4GB
3x 150GB WD Raptor, hardware RAID 0
1x 2TB WD Green, standalone

I had Linux Mint 8 installed, but before putting the machine to real use decided to toss Windows 7 on there to see how it worked. Now I am attempting to put Mint 8 back on to get everything set up. There have been no hardware changes since I had Mint installed before.

I can successfully install, but when I reboot I get a Grub error 17. The partition table looks like:
50GB / ext4
400GB /home ext4
...
2TB /backup /ext3

Grub is installed to (hd0), which is the 450GB hardware RAID. It does not make a difference when I run the installation (and then reboot) with the 2TB drive disconnected. Thinking maybe the new ext4 format was messing with Grub, I tried:
200MB /boot ext2
50GB / ext4
400GB /home ext4
And installed again and rebooted. No dice. I'd guess Grub has issues recognizing the hardware raid, except it worked before

Debian :: Grub Load Error "Grub Loading Stage1.5. Grub Loading, Please Wait... Error 15"

May 23, 2010

When I try and boot my Debian computer I get the messages: Grub Loading stage1.5. Grub loading, please wait... Error 15 Is there any way of recovering from this - or is it simply a fresh install? I was attempting an upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze and despite a few hurdles it looked like it was all happening. Got the new kernel loading, and the new grub. It looked as though grub2 was working so I ran the grub-remove-legacy-support command (something like that) and now my computer won't boot grub or Linux.

I'm assuming the MBR on my harddrive is lost, however I don't know what state the partition is in. I'm guessing that maybe this has been lost as well. I tried a few tools from the Ultimate Boot CD but nothing here was able to re-install my grub or boot from any partition or even mount my file-system. I'm fearing the worst but would like it confirmed before I blow it all away with a new install.

OpenSUSE Install :: Grub Error 17 On SDC2 Partition

Feb 16, 2010

I'm a Windows 7 user attempting to install openSUSE in a partition on a separate hard disk, and am receiving grub error 17 on install. My windows partition is sdb1, and my (hopeful) openSUSE partition is sdc2. When I attempt to redefine the grub config after receiving the error message, there are no mounted drives in my "/dev/" folder to point to, nor can I find the kernel image or RAM disk in my "/boot/" folder.
