Ubuntu :: Grub-Minimal BASH-like Line Editing Is Supported?
May 31, 2011
I had a dual boot with Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows vista. Upon upgrading to windows 7, i found my grub to be replaced, with windows boot loader. So i booted from a live USB with Ubuntu 11.04 and followed steps as follows.
1. Mounted the partition where i have ubuntu 11.04
2. mount | tail -1
3. sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda
4. Reboot
On rebooting, I find grub to open in terminal mode, and does not allow me to log in either in windows or in Ubuntu! All i get is a grub terminal [ Minimal bash-like editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible completions of a device/filename. ]

I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu, dual booting with Windows 7 on one partition, but I'm having problems with Grub. I think I put it in the wrong place when I installed it. At first, it would just boot into Windows. But with SuperGrub I could boot into Ubuntu.
This was the result of the boot info script:
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
Boot Info Summary:
=> No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda
sda1:
File system: ntfs

Ubuntu didn't start up all of a sudden. It got error and stuck at : Minimal BASH-like line editing - Ubuntu Forums. I tried many ways suggested to go into menu mode but failed. I followed online solutions.. but none of them helped. I tried to list all partitions and I got this: ls
(memdisk), (hd0), (hd0,msdos), (fd0)
i tried
root (hd0)/boot , it said unknown filesystem
root (hd0,msdos)/boot, but it's a windows partition
root (f0)/boot, it said read error
The setup is dual boot with wubi, so i logged on to windows7 and installed partition magic, but i couldn't see the linux parittion, the whole harddisk is 500G, but only 2xxG is visible in NTFS. I used liveCD to boot the system, but when i run sudo fdisk -l, i didn't see anything. I have no idea why it happened, and the last successful log on was in Ubuntu, so i doubt it's due to windows update. I am going to try Solution #1 (10.04) in wubi megathread. Can anyone suggest what has actually gone wrong? WIll i able to recover the data in my linux parition given partition magic cannot see it?

I installed Ubuntu on my laptop yesterday, and now it won't start up. It will ask me what OS I want (either Windows or Ubuntu) and then it goes to a black screen with the "minimal bash-line..." phrase on it. Before this happened, I had somehow managed to get into full screen terminal. I couldn't get out of it so I just hard restarted the computer, and this happened. What can I do to fix it? It doesn't get as far as asking which version of Ubuntu I want to load.

So I turn on my PC this morning, and it comes up with this telling me to use 'TAB' to see a bunch of options I can use, not knowing any idea on how to use them properly I type in 'boot', it returns with 'error: no kernel' and then I type 'exit', it just reboots.
I've scanned endless posts on the forum trying to find the most useful replies and tried to use 'find /grub/stage2' and 'find boot/grub/stage2' and it says 'find is not a command' so that failed. I then tried to find out the partition my installation is in, which is hd0,1 so I tried using 'setup (hd0,1) which returned with 'setup is not a command'. I even tried 'boot (hd0,1) but it returned with the first error 'error: no kernel'. Luckily, when I installed Ubuntu I dual-booted it with Windows so I'm still able to use the Internet but I would love Ubuntu back and I had a lot of important files on it. So does anyone know how to solve this?
By the way, the way I installed Ubuntu was through Windows using 'wibu', it's worked absolutely fine ever since this morning. Oh and I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (Loopy Lynx or whatever it's called ;p)(Also, for more information this screen appears after I choose 'Ubuntu' from the Windows bootloader, it doesn't even get to the Ubuntu bootloader it just goes straight to that screen)

After getting some updates like 3 days ago, I get this message: "minimal BASH-like editing is supported. For the first word TAB list possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device/file completions. sh:grub>_
What do I do to boot my system? Previously I was able to select from the grub menu. But not in this case. Any suggestions. I have an XP system as well on the same hard drive. I used wubi to install Ubuntu 9.10.

I tried installing an update for ubuntu but I don't think it shut down properly and when I try to start it up, I get the error "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions." The version is GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu9. I have tried looking into this issue and cannot seem to find a way to boot up ubuntu. I tried typing in "root (hd0, 1)" which it what it was on mine but it the message in the terminal returns "filesystem is ntfs". I'm not sure what to do and I don't want to lose files on my partition.

I have a problem with the GRUB menu. When i open my computer it gives me error message " Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.".I can't get passed that. So, it makes the computer unuseful. Windows 7 is not seen, neither Ubuntu. I am stuck at that screen. Before i was running dual-boot Windows 7 32-bit and Ubuntu 10.10.The GRUB version is GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3I looked everywhere to get this fixed but i just cant seem to fix it!

I have installed RHEL5, solved the problems around it and started to set up the GRUB. I have set the menu.lst with simple
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
mkeactive
chainloader +1
and tried to boot the Win7 on that partition. NO LOADER came up and since that moment
Grub is only in "Minimal BASH-like line editing" mode. I have tried all of I have googled, nothing have worked. There is a problem with even finding /boot/grub/stage2, or anything else, grub won't let me mount any partition. When I try to find any file, it says file not found. It is important to say that all I did to cause this was change in menu.lst
rootnoverify (hd1,1) to rootnoverify (hd1,0)m nothing else! There is no logic in this....

I just installed ubuntu today, and it asked me to install over 200 security updates. When I finished that, it asked me to restart the computer so that the updates will take effect. After Dell (it's a Dell computer) booted, I got a message reading:

I'd like to say I'm very impressed with Fedora 11. I'm a long time Linux user and I've tried many distros. But, I usually keep only the best on my laptop. For a long time that was Ubuntu but, I think Fedora 11 has made some key improvements over Ubuntu and I'm eager to switch. The problem is: I haven't been able to run Fedora as anything other than on the Live CD. Everything works perfectly and it installs but, when I reboot, Grub begins. Instead of booting, however, Grub drops into its minimal shell and gives me a command line.
I've tried installing it a number of ways now and have read much about the problems with Ext4 on Grub and took special care to see that Grub has its own, separate, /boot ext3 partition. Even then, no luck. My hardware should work fine. I've got an HP DV-5 with 4GB RAM, AMD Turion 64-bit dual-core @ 2 Ghz, and an IDE 250GB hard drive. I'm working with the 64-bit Fedora 11 Live disc with KDE as the Gui.

I have an old laptop that I installed EasyPeasy Lucid on. I have never used Grub2 as my other Ubuntu installs still use Grub Legacy. I have studied all the tutorials which instruct that the grub.cfg file should not be edited directly.This old laptop has one of the dreaded Intel graphics chips for which the kernel automatically loads the i915 module. Of course (like a multitude of others with Intel graphics and Lucid) I booted into a black screen but knew the workaround was to enable mode setting through grubI used the

Total, total noob here, but I would like to know if this is possible, and maybe some tips on how to do it if it is.I just got myself a dedicated server, and I guess I assumed I could just remote control it via my own screen, much like using vnc or remote desktop, but that wasn't the case.The server has Debian 5.0, a "minimal install" is what they called it, I assume it's just installed and not configured at all.1. Connect to the server, and I guess the only way is via telnet? Since I have no VNC or remote desktop (yeah, microsoft, I know, but I don't know what it's called for Linux/GNU).2. Can I install VNC or somehow "activate" or "open" the GUI via telnet, much like a remote desktop kind of solution? I have used Debian's GUI on my laptop a couple of times, and I'm a total Windows-user, but I can navigate the graphical interface. I'm just COMPLETELY nulled when it comes to command line.So yeah, I guess I'm wondering how the heck I can remote control the server via a GUI, preferably VNC, and if I can install it via telnet or however I'm supposed to connect to the server?

bash 3.1.17(2) I'm trying do write a shell script which must operate on each line of an ASCII text file. So, all the code must be inside a loop, and inside the loop, the first thing should be to read the next line from the file. I have the bash read command. But it reads from stdin. Any way to make read from a file?

I have a set of files containing data that I need to re-arrange into one single property list.
The files that I have look like this:
Code:
# cat uk
<string>10</string>
<string>11</string>
...
<string>29</string>
[Code]....
So the lines in the files match up but I haven't found a way of reading several files line by line.

I'm trying to make another file annotation script a little speedier than it has been by the up-until-now proven method of checking the last four characters in a filename before the "dot" (eg .jpg, .psd) against a list of known IPTC categories and Exiv2 command files. It occurred to me that if one script generated a list of files in directory foo, and the same or another script sorted that list by that four-letter tag,then that list could be used(instead of a for/do/done loop on the real files in the folder) by the command-file-matching script to "vomit out" which annotator file would go with file nastynewfile.jpg, f'r'instance. The script I had been using for this task looks like this:
Code:
while read 'line';
do
sp=$(echo $line)
vc=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f1)
cv=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f2)
[code]....
Where I seem to be stuck is with how to sort the lines in templist, which may be any number of different lengths, from back to front. sort -k looked promising, except it seems only to work the other way round. I thought of invoking a
Code:
q=$(expr length $line); echo $q
n=$[q-8]; echo $n
kind of thing, but that presented the problems of how to sort by those, how to tell sort where to find them (grep?) and how to "stitch them back in" to the original list, which is what I want to sort in the first place.

After a long time I tried ubuntu(9.10) again on my fileserver, I have some remarks; why does a minimal server installation include X/openoffice? I don't need document conversion on a fileserver and I bet a lot of people don't. Wouldn't it be better to create a new server package and leave minimal minimal? low memory installs (64mb) don't work unless you configure swap by hand in between things, 64mb ram is a lot in my eyes. I mean, not to be rude but if I wanted all this I could've better installed Solaris.
That said it's stable and running fine. Since it's my home fileserver I tried to convert my previously created raid10 mirror on an adaptec 1200 card to a softraid 5 solution. This is wat I did:

I need to edit a line in a file in gedit, but its read only. I need to change
; default-sample-rate = 44100
to
default-sample-rate=44800.
Would anyone know if there is an option to make a read only file editable? Judging by the responses to the thread I followed to enable my soundcard, it is possible, and perhaps there is some setting etc that needs changing
