I'm having problems with BURG. I installed it and it's working but he only show text. I'm using "ubuntu" theme. If I run "sudo burg-emu", it look fine but then in boot, not. It's running in graphical mode because if I press 'f8' it changes to text-mode. I have tried to change resolution without results.

View 3 Replies View RelatedEver since switching to openSUSE 11.1, I have been having problems with certain websites (using the version of Firefox that came with openSUSE 11.1). Some website's CSS code won't load until repeated reloads - for example, wachovia.com. I'll visit the website and it will be all distorted because the stylesheets did not load, and I will have to refresh a number of times before it becomes usable. Other website's images won't load until multiple refreshes, like facebook.
Is this an openSUSE issue? An openSUSE interaction with Firefox issue? I've never had this problem on XP or Ubuntu.
In Iceweasel (Debian's name for Firefox) within the Preferences you can select "Load images automatically". I have this unchecked, because I use dial-up and prefer not to have to waste time with images. However, for some sites it's sometimes useful to load the images. So, I'm wondering if there is a way to simply load the images for a site that is easier than what I currently do (which is: going to Edit-Preferences-Content, rechecking "Load images automatically" then pressing Reload). In short, is there a way to have a button somewhere that I can press that will simply load the images for the current site while I can still have the "Load images automatically" preference box unchecked?

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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running Linux from a DVD, not installed. I am not good with installing software, but since the DVD cannot be corrupted, I am content to operate this way. Lately, I have been having problems that previously did not occur. When I try to click on the checkbox to get rid of emails, it doesn't register in most cases, or when it does, I am clicking multiple times so it registers twice, meaning it is unchecked again. Even more frustrating is some issues that are affecting my ability to update my business. I am trying to modify spreadsheets (text not calculations).
Whenever I try to click & drag to select something to change, it keeps jumping around to select only some of what I want, something else or some combination of the 2. When I try to copy and paste several fields from 1 column to another, everything from the several fields in the source column ends up together in the last field in the target column. I am also trying to download some images from a website. There is a single column of links to the images. I have to click on the link to get to the image in order to copy it, then back out to continue looking for more links to do the same.
My computer keeps jumping back 2 steps, then forward 2 steps, and sometimes I lose my place in that list. I could deal with it if it were a small number of links, but this is a list of probably close to 20,000 links. Again, i am operating off of a live DVD so this should not be corruptible, but this has just started happening, and has been an issue the last several sessions.
I know that ImageMagick's convert program can be used as follows to convert a collection of images -- say, in PNG format -- to a PDF file:
convert *png output.pdf
The problem with this is that each image is then stretched to fit on one page, whereas I would like to keep the original dimensions of the images and put as many as possible on one page in the PDF file before moving on to another page.
I am just spent half an hour hunting for a thing that should be totally available already:USB install images of Ubuntu, knoppix and all the others.And, the only good way are so far complicated tutorials where you extract the stuff from an CD image. Why??Hasn't everybody notices that CDs/DVDs are vanishing big time? That more and more systems don't have the readers anymore? Instead of following a 10 point instruction list, it would be nice to just be able to download a Ubuntu 8.10 or whatever USB image and be able to beam that DIRECTLY to a USB stick with a dd command.
Or am a missing something here? Does this exist?It should by no means be mariginal, considering how important USB stick in specific and flash memory in general have become.
I'm trying to make my BURG boot loader look better, right now it has the Ubuntu and Windows icons, but for name it has things like "untu 2.6" because the name won't fit. I am trying to change them simply to "Ubuntu" and "Windows 7", but I'm having some trouble. Using this guide, I am able to change the entries for GRUB2,but it has no effect on my BURG entries. Even if it was just removing the names all together, and just having the icons, that would be fine.
View 2 Replies View Relatedim 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
I installed Burg, I then spent a decent amount of time editing a theme to look like I wanted as shown below. Its slightly glitcy but I pretty pleased However burg is refufing to save my choice of theme The configuration file looks like this, I've tried changing the theme to = the specific theme i want but that doesn't work, neither does changing the folding options to = yes.
# Use the previous selected theme, you can also specify a theme to be used
# In the boot menu, use hotkey 't' to popup a theme selection menu GRUB_THEME=saved
# Use the previous folding option, its value can be 'yes', 'no' or 'saved'
# In the boot menu, use hotkey 'F7' to show the full list, 'f' to toggle
# between folding modes. GRUB_FOLD=saved with it.
I installed Burg and it worked for some time. I installed some apps that I can't remember anymore and closed my comp. I restarted my computer today and Burg does not work anymore, Grub just start like before. I tried to reinstalled Burg and it changed nothing. When I check Burg-emu it shows me the right thing, like if Burg was working. Did it happened to somebody else?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThought BURG would be cool so I installed it. Something is very wrong. (See attached photos) all I get is the 1st photo, BURG version 1.98+20100623-1+karmic. If I tab I get photo 2. At this point I'd be happy just to restore GRUB2 & forget BURG but I can't even boot to any OS. I haven't had Ubuntu on this PC for long so maybe the best, or simplest option, would be to re-install Ubuntu- which would rewrite grub2.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Burg on my three sig computers and like it very much. I'm having trouble on one of my desktops (AMD 9950BE Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64), I installed it like I did the other 2 but this one initially boots to the standard grub2 menu, and if I press "c" to enter the grub console and exit from it, Burg starts and works normally for that session.
I've spent quite a bit of time comparing files to my Laptop with a working burg and except for HD and partitions these files compare:
Code:
grub.cfg
burg.cfg
/etc/default/grub
/etc/grub.d/*.*
/etc/burg.d/*.*

I've installed burg with no major hassle. Started up the computer to see a pretty new boot menu, but Ubuntu fails to boot. The screen immediately turns black and the computer reboots. Fortunately, I have grub backed up on a usb flash drive so I can boot.

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."
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

What should I do?I should note that I easily changed BURG's resolution to 1680x1050 using 'R' while in BURG. 640x480 only applies to Splash after I choose Ubuntu.

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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am dualbooting Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and Windows 7 x64. I am using Burg instead of Grub2 since I like the nice graphical display for choosing which OS to boot. Unfortunately, after I turn on the computer from "shutting down" after a Windows session, it automatically chooses Ubuntu and doesn't let me choose Windows. (If I just "restart" after a Windows session, I can choose which OS I want to boot just fine).
After Ubuntu loads, I can restart and *then* I get the option of which OS to choose, but this is extremely frustrating to have to load Ubuntu then reboot just to get Windows. I am not using the OS Prober module (I disabled it, and have a manual entry in my 40_custom file for Windows).
I've recently started using burg (a modification of grub that shows pictures instead of/with text), and I really like it for booting into Ubuntu and Vista. After many failed attempts of trying to get OSX on my PC, I'd like to try Macbuntu (a theme for Ubuntu that makes it look like a Mac). Unfortunately (fortunately?) my parents have taking a liking to Ubuntu and hate when I change anything, so installing Macbuntu would be a big no-no. I made a copy of Ubuntu and will put it on another partition of my hard drive, but I don't want to have two Ubuntu pictures when burg boots up. Are there any bootup lines I can put inside burg.cfg to fool it into loading an osx picture, then loading Ubuntu?
