View 3 Replies View RelatedI have GRUB "1.98-1ubuntu6", and while I have been using GRUB, I have always wondered how to change the delay time prior to GRUB booting into the default operating system. I would even like to switch it off, if possible. Thanks for any help you may have, as I can't seem to find mention of it anywhere, and I think a 10-second wait is silly, having been accustomed to adjusting LILO to any delay time I liked.

I have Linux debian 7.7.0 i386-amd64 under VBox 4.3.20 and here is the problem:::
When I open the menu from Linux's top-right corner and click SHUT DOWN..., it shows the dialog with choices, and that Linux guest will automatically shutdown after 60 seconds and I need to change that delay value to 3 seconds. Of course I could just re-click Shut Down -button again, but I don't want to do it. Period.
By Googling I found these "instructions" for UBUNTU:
None of this worked on my 13.04 system. In the end I re-compiled gnome-session.
In gsm_shell.c and gsm_logout_dialog.c change #define AUTOMATIC_ACTION_TIMEOUT from 60 to 5
I want to install my system on my U-Disk.So I need to delay the time when system starting before the system recognized the U-Disk. How to change it in the grub? If I change it ,how can I save it in order not to change it every time I start the computer? Is it in the /boot/grub/menu.lst?

I'm running a dual-boot; Lucid and Win XP on a HP Pavillion.My time settings are about 8 hrs off between the two operating systems. If I correct the time in Linux, it will be wrong when I boot in Windows. If I correct it in Windows, it will be wrong again next time I boot into Linux.Besides the obvious solution of removing Windows from my machine (which I'm not ready for), what should I do to fix this?

I have installed Ubuntu 10 alongside with Windows XP. Consequently I need to make a choice at boot time. However, I feel that the system is not waiting very long, maybe 5 seconds or so, before going automatically into Ubuntu. Can that time be increased? If so, where or how?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy comp came with Vista and then I installed Ubuntu, so it's dual boot. When I start up the computer, it eventually opens a screen with the options to boot Ubuntu, Vista and 3 other partitions. Ubuntu is at the top, Vista at the bottom, and it gives you five seconds to pick an OS or it automatically starts Ubuntu. This is very annoying because I almost always need Vista and I have a habit of pressing power and walking away and letting the computer load. Is there a way to have Vista be the default selection?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm not consistently able to boot into Ubuntu Lucid on my new dual boot (w/ Win7) setup. Machine is a Dell XPS 1645 laptop. Usually it takes 1-3 tries of hard shut down and restart before the OS starts up. Boot info script results are below. Windows starts up fine everytime. What I usually get is this: Dell startup screen, then Grub2 menu, then after selecting Linux kernal a blinking cursor at upper left of monitor and it just hangs.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was struggling how to phrase the question (in the subject) so let me clarify... I wish to install Windows 2000 and then do Ubuntu, on the same PC. I never had a dual boot before but I understand that it goes automatically (after a short time) to default Windows if Ubuntu is not chosen (on the boot up screen), correct? If so, if there's a "countdown" of sorts, is there a way to disable it? I wish to have control over that aspect, have unlimited time during that boot "choose one" screen.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI had to boot into my Windows 7 install on my laptop for the first time in a few months and I noticed that the Windows clock was 4 hours ahead. Windows sync'd its time with the internet, then I booted back into Debian (Lenny) and my clock was now 4 hours behind. Both OS's are set to the same time zone (EDT). The minutes were correct in both systems. Could the fact that EDT is UTC-0400 be relevant?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 11.04 as a dual boot system. I am given 5 choices with XP choice 5. Unless I highlight it I will boot into Ubuntu. I used the startup manager, and indicated that XP should be the default OS. Nothing changed. I tried the PySDM storage device manager which lists the partitions, but does not allow me to make changes.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a dual-boot setup in which Ubuntu 10 LTS is the default choice on the menu, followed by 2 or 3 alternate choices and finally Win 7. I would like to know how to change that order, making Win 7 the default. Solutions I've looked at mention editing menu.lst in the /boot/grub directory, but this file does not exist anywhere as far as I can tell. There is a /boot/grub/grub.cfg but it's unclear how that alters the menu sequence.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a box with 2 interfaces, with IP1 = 192.168.100.1 and IP2 = 10.1.1.1 respectively on them. I've got an iptables rule that looks like:
Code:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.0/24 -d 10.0.0.0/8 -p udp -j SNAT --to-source 10.1.1.1 --random
If I get 2 consecutive packets from the same address and port from 192.168.100.0/24, they get SNAT-ed and come out of the same port on 10.1.1.1. If then I get another packet from the same address and port 10 minutes later, then it gets SNAT-ed, but comes out of a different port on 10.1.1.1. My question is: how can I set the time delay I would like iptables to remember its incoming address/port to outgoing port mappings?
when I installed Ubuntu 9.10 I put in one time setting but it was wrong, and now I don't know where to change it. I tried to change the time preferences, but on reboot I am back to the wrong time.
I know the data is in there somewhere and I can change if I knew where it was.
I'm having an issue with dual networking on RHEL 5. My initial question is can the order the ethx (0,1) devices are brought up be changed at boot time, so I could bring up eth1 before eth0?
Some background: eth0 is DHCP'd and using DNS, basically this is my primary network. eth1 is an isolated subnet, with a manually configured IP which has no connection to eth0 or the outside world. When I bring up networking it first brings up eth0 and then eth1, what happens is eth1 becomes the 'primary' network of the host and I lose my connection to DNS/NFS/NIS and the outside world.
If I login and manually bring up eth1 first, then eth0 everyone is happy and connections work. So, I'm looking for a solution to either bring up eth1 before eth0 or somehow make eth0 my primary IP and not have it be clobbered by eth1.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a notebook which previously ran Vista. No problems there.I've now installed Ubuntu (now updated to 10.04)so that it can boot to either OS.
It all works fine and when I first power up, I get a screen which invites me to select the OS I want to use. There are however two problems:
1) it defaults to Ubuntu (whereas I would prefer it to default to Windows 7 (it's a work laptop and most of the applications are Windows-specific),
2) the list of choices is getting increasingly complex with an expanding list of choices (with each major update of Ubuntu adding more); it even seems to include an option to go back to Vista!As long as I move down the list and make the right selection quite speedily, I get to where I want to be (though, as I say, I would like to change the default option).Is there any way I can edit/shorten this list without damaging the functionality and how can I change that default?
I have been using a dual boot Windows/Ubuntu system since 8.04 and successfully upgraded to 8.10 and 9.04 (Windows is XP sp3).I now need to encrypt my hard drive but only the windows partition. The software I will be using can cope with this as long as I have the original Windows MBR in place and then add an extra option in the windows boot loader to boot to linux.My windows partition is ntfs and I have followed the following instructions given in the encryption software guide.
sudo dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/media/linux.tr0 bs=512 count=1 [Enter]
sudo mkdir /media/disk-c [Enter]
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/disk-c [Enter]
I then had to boot into Windows and go to the System Control Panel, click the advance tab and in the Startup and Recovery section, click the Settings button. I then clicked the EDIT button to edit the Boot.ini file. My file had the following
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOW S
[operating systems]
[code]....
I then rebooted. GRUB still took over as bootloader and I selected Windows As Windows began to boot I got the Windows Boot Manager and there I selected Linux. This took me to GRUB and an error 18 eventually the machine rebooted and I got GRUB as the initial bootloader. I want to be sure that if I now use fixmbr in Windows I will still be able to boot into Linux without getting the Error 18. Should I go ahead and use fixmbr or is there something else I need to do. Once the bootloader is windows then I can use the encryption software and encrypt the windows partition only.
I have a Fedora 15/Ubuntu 11.04 dual boot. In Fedora, I just created a new logical volume. How do I ensure that anything I put in it - all files and folders - will be accessible in Ubuntu? II also want to be able to add files and folders in Ubuntu and then read and write them in Fedora...
Here's the output from "lvdisplay" for the logical volume in question:
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/fedora/Everything
VG Name fedora
[Code]....
/home/gwyn/Everything is the mount point for the logical volume. I got full access over all files in the LV.
But when I shutdown Fedora and start up Ubuntu, I have to run the same chmod command again. How can I make read/write permissions endure between both distros?
