I have 9.10 installed, grub has loaded and worked, now all of a sudden nothing will boot.The HP screen comes up and then the computer reboot, constant reboot cycle. Can't even get into the BIOS. It will just sit there if I hit escape. Won't boot the live cd either. What can I do??? It has worked fine for the past month now.
View 6 RepliesI followed a tutorial to install XP across my entire HDD. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 "Alongside another OS". Ubuntu loads fine, but when trying to load XP, the boot screen shows up, but then the computer restarts and returns to the GRUB menu.
I saw some threads on this site and tried to type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
In the terminal. It returned a blank text document so I'm not sure if that information was outdated. I then typed: sudo fdisk -l
And got this:
Not sure what any of this means, but I sure hope someone else does. I would say forget XP, but it's hard to let go of some of the games and software I use. I appreciate any responses, thank you.
I tried to format the table as it appeared, but the forum corrected the extra spaces.
Whenever I try to boot my computer, GRUB (Version 2) says "File Not Found". It does this for all entries except the Memtest86+ entries, which work fine. I have tried reinstalling GRUB, but it still does the same thing.

My listing shows 3 OS:-

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a computer that I use for practically everything. In the same room I have a second computer that I use purely for trialing Linux distributions, It currently has Debian, gNewSense and Kubuntu on it with Grub to choose between. This computer has no keyboard / mouse / monitor, but it has directly wired ethernet to the home network. Is there any way I can set it to be remotely controlled from before / during grub so I can choose from the other computer which to run? I realise I can just crawl behind the desk and unplug the keyboard / mouse / monitor, but I don't particularly want to every time I reboot into a different distro. I also realise that remote access during boot is a security risk so is there a way of allowing only one MAC address to do the controlling?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI performed a clean install of Fedora 15 from DVD and it goes fine until the end when the install program says to reboot the computer. Once I do that, the computer hangs before Grub loads, i.e. just after all of the BIOS messages, so there isn't any error message to indicate what is wrong. I had no issues with Fedora 14.
View 3 Replies View Relatedis it possible to use a Windows-based recovery partition on a dual-boot computer to overwrite the Ubuntu partition and remove the GRUB loader? For instance, if you booted up your computer, accessed the hidden recovery partition and used it to reset the computer to it's factory default settings, would that effectively remove the Ubuntu partition and the GRUB loader? Would a completely new installation of Windows overwrite/uninstall Ubuntu and GRUB automatically?
View 4 Replies View Relatedi am trying to change the boot order on the GRUB menu so that the countdown automatically starts on an older kernel. From what i can see all the solutions on the web want me to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. The problem is that i don't have one. Someone also mentioned that if i don't have a menu.lst file then i should look for the grub.conf file. I don't have on of those either. The closest thing in /boot/grub is grub.cfg but that looks nothing like the descriptions i have heard of /boot/grub/menu.lst file

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've written a bash script to connect to each machine in our local network and update the fstab file to point certain NFS mounts to a new location.The script is meant to read in a list of shares and a list of workstations, rsync the relevant share then connect to each workstation and update the fstab file before moving onto the next share.In reality what is happening is it will perform the loop correctly for the first workstation in the list but will not move on to the next one. I'm really stumped on this and I'm sure it's something simple but I just can't seem to work out the answer!

how to change the value of the inputs in sed while looping
As such:
for i in `seq 1 10`; do
"do something funny, using OpenFOAM"
cd system
sed 's/oldvalue/oldValue+increment/' -i sampleDict
cd ..
done
So basically, can you for instance create a constant "a" and increase it for every loop interval and use it for sed?
I have a csv file (id, loc, timestamp, impressions) that I need to derive some low-level calculations from. Im ok with basic sort and grep operations, but this one is challenging my feeble scripting skills (normally I�d throw it into a spreadsheet, but in this case Id like to ultimately create a script that I could automate). Ive already used cat/sort to order the csv file first on location and then timestamp so it looks like this:
Abt001, AA, 2009-01-01 10:51:00, 231
Cup002, AA, 2009-01-01 10:54:00, 3
Saf001, AB, 2009-01-01 10:51:00, 25
[code]....
What Id like to do is output to file a record of the total, min, and max number of impressions for each location. , e.g.
AA6504 3231
AB252525
AC37925109
ZZ35512341
how to do this and Im kind of stuck on how to approach it I think the combined steps of looping through the locations along with the min/max/sum calculations are throwing me. Eventually Id also like to do additional calculations like average, ect. but I think I can figure that out on my own if I can just get this part down.
I've had openSUSE for a week. The update says that there are 10 updates. When I run it, first I get a flag saying that something can't be removed. Then when I run the rest of the up date, it loops back and starts over. I need a patch to fix the patch that fixes the patch that...etc.

Why, after a successful (I thought) dual boot installation w/ a side-by-side lynx and meerkat install and XP does my system refuse to boot? It just gets to the Dell screen, giving boot options (none of which are making any difference) and keeps looping it. Last night, after re-installing the grub (lost after the XP install) everything was working fine. I powered down and this morning tried to restart and...this. I really don't want to have to reinstall everything and reconfigure and reinstall apps--what can I do? And more importantly, WTF did this happen to begin with?

I have an Excel Spreadsheet which reports upon weekly performance. One portion of the worksheet looks at week over week increases /decreases. I've placed a number of image controls (15 in Total) next to cells which calculate week over week change. The image controls simply display an image depending on whether the value of the adjacent cell is positive or negative. So, here is my basic working IF statement:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal UpDown As Range)
If Range("J26") > 0 And IsNumeric(Range("J26").Value) Then
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:path oup_arrow.gif")
ElseIf Range("J26") < 0 And IsNumeric(Range("J26").Value) Then
[code]....
As you can see, this is pretty simple. What I'd like to do is find a way to loop through all 15 controls and avoid having 15 IF statements run on the Worksheet_Change() event. The cells containing the week over week values are all in the same column, but not continuous. Involved cells are: ("J26", "J27", "J33", "J34", "J35", "J36", "J37", "J38", "J39", "J40", "J42", "J43", "J44", "J45", "J46")

after doing an upgrade to 10.4 and updating grub I get this message. how do I address this
[Code]...
I've been using Linux for over a decade, so no need to worry about the obvious. I'm positive that I have my partitions/install correct. What has me baffled is that Fedora 14, which uses GRUB 0.97 (GRUB legacy) - boots Windows flawlessly every single time on the same hardware, but Ubuntu's (or the upstream Debian's) GRUB legacy do not - even though they are based on the same upstream code from the GNU Savannah servers.
No matter what I've tried I cannot get the Debian or Ubuntu version of GRUB/GRUB-legacy to boot any recent Windows 64 beyond XP (Vista or 7). All that it does is resets the computer when Windows attempts to boot, without an error. GRUB is notoriously difficult to compile, so before I try to compile code from RedHat's archives - any thoughts,experiences, similar issues - whatever?
I got ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx along with windows (dual boot) and using Grub. On my computer, I have my C:/ (programs) and D:/ (data). I've never used my D:/ before that day that I've lost my windows partition on my grub menu. I usually use my D:/ with windows. The first time I used my D:/ to store data with linux, I lost my windows option in my grub menu. I'm not sure what I did wrong but I do want to restore my windows option in my grub menu.
After "fdisk -l",
I checked in /boot/grub and there is no menu.lst to modify. how I can get back my windows option in my grub menu ?
The first is I seem to have 3 GRUB installs. So whilst I update the one from my live session, the change does not appear in the boot up menu. I had installed 10.10 from a CD into a different partition (sda6), but that will not boot, so I have just deleted this and done another grub install and update. The kernel I am using has just been updated from 10.04 to 10.10 too, and it is this that I use and the Grub I have been working on (sda5).
