Ubuntu Installation :: 2nd OS Reversed 'Default' Menu
Jun 6, 2010
I had installed Ubu 10.4, I installed a 2nd OS (Xubuntu in this case) and I must have ticked a installation box somewhere so the end result (after Xubuntu installed) was the the Grub2 Menu Reversed the default listing table, so Ubuntu is now 5 or 6th down the list and Xubu is now 1st on the list and becomes default startup.I hope this makes sense?
So what i'm looking for is a 'edit' control for the menu so I can change the default list to tell the system to 'pick' line 5 or 6 and that becomes the new default or I 'cut and paste somewhere' LOL.I loaded a Terminal program called Startupmanager, but did not seem to get the desired result, you may know this program and can understand why?

When I booted up my laptop this morning my top menu bar has been reversed. IE the "Applications, Places, System" links are all on the right hand side of the bar and the "Shutdown, IM, Wlan, etc" buttons on all on the left hand side.Excuse my noobness, but how do I go about correcting this?

I recently upgraded grub -> grub2 on my karmic box. Grub2 worked when chainloaded from legacy grub, and also the first time I tried it standalone. Both times the grub2 menu came up.
I ran vbeinfo at a grub2 command prompt, and found my monitor's native res listed - 1280x1024. I added that to my /etc/defaults/grub and then ran update-grub, and rebooted. This time no menu appeared and the default entry booted straight away. I suspected that the resolution was not supported for some reason or that the way I entered it in the config file was wrong, so I commented it out again in /etc/default/grub, and ran update-grub again - to no avail.
I have since tried lots of different formats for the GRUB_GFXMODE, such as 1280x1024@24, 1280x1024x24, and the normal 640x480, but none of them give me a grub menu. I have even tried using GRUB_TERMINAL=console, to no avail. I have checked the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file each time to make sure my changes were put there correctly by update-grub. I have also made sure that timeout was set to 10, and the hidden timeout was set to 0. My GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet".
I have reinstalled grub2, grub-pc, and grub-common, and I have dpkg-reconfigured them all too. I have no idea what to do to get my grub menu showing up again.

The close, minimize, and resize buttons are all on the left side, which I like. But recently I've noticed that the Close and Resize buttons are switched. How can I fix this? Click the picture so you can see it.

I just upgraded to Fedora 14 and found that my KDE "default" display (i.e. the display where the default panel is situated) has changed from LVDS1 to VGA1, which is not reversed from Fedora 13. In fact, everything that used to be associated with LVDS1 is not associated with VGA1 and vice versa.

I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu on my wifes computer, I got everything running and all is good. The only problem is that since it is my wifes computer, and she wants to use windows rather than linux, it is inconvenient for her to have to select Windows from the boot menu rather than me, on the occasion that I play with ubuntu, selected ubuntu.Is there a way that I can set windows as the default rather than Ubuntu?

I have an .avi file that is a clip from a security camera recording of an incident. I am trying to edit the video with an editor and I have an issue in just playing the video. When playing the video it opens and plays just fine but reversed and upside down. I don't see any settings in any of the players I have tried (VLC, etc.) to correct this. It plays fine from the Windows computer at work. I believe there may be some special codecs related to this particular security camera software. Does anyone know how I might deal with this to correct it?

In the applications menu I would like to always run certain programs as root. For instance Wireshark; I'll never want to run that as a regular user I'll always want to be root. Is there a way to set it up so that when I click it in the menu I'm prompted for my password and it will automatically run as root? (Much like in windows you can right click and check the box that says always run as administrator.)

I'm having this problem that's driving me nuts.Basically I've set up 2 virtual DNS servers.1. Master on fictive domain "domain.xx". 2.ster of fictive domain "sub.domain.xx"NS 1 delegated sub. zone-space to the DNS 2.Everything works except for reverse lookup on sub-domain.For instance. 172.16.0.101 should resolve to my fictive mail.sub.domain.xxIf I try to resolve it with 'host 172.16.0.101' from domain.xx I get:Host 101.0.16.172.in-addr.arpa not found: 2(SERVFAIL)If I do the same from the actual sub.domain.xx I get:Host 101.0.16.172.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN).
If I, on the other hand, try to resolve a hostname both from domain.xx or sub.domain.xx with 'host mail.sub.domain.xx' I get the proper address as the answer: 172.16.0.101I've delegated the in-addr.arpa space to sub.domain.xx dns-server according to RFC 2317 specification, at least I think...Please note this is a virtual network address 172.16.0.0/24Here are the excerpts of the in-arpa-files on both domain.xx and the sub.domain.xx server.
Code:
$TTL 12h
$ORIGIN 0.16.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA.

My last.fm scrobbler is, for some reason, reversing my track titles and artist names. My music is all tagged appropriately. For example, if I play:
Artist: John Coltrane
Title: Giant Steps
It will be scrobbled as:
Artist: Giant Steps
Title: John Coltrane.
I'm running Arch and using QL's default plugin. This also occurs when I use the lastfmsubmitd daemon. I have tried defining different artist/track patterns within the plugin options with no luck, though I may be doing it wrong. I used <title> for <artist> for the pattern definitions.
EDIT:Audio scrobbling works in Exaile, so now I know for sure that my tagging is not at fault.
EDIT 2Well I found the solution. I updated qlscrobbler.py with the version found here:
[URL] Now everything scrobbles correctly.

Althought /etc/default/grub has GRUB_DEFAULT=6, after grub-update nothing changes and the default menu entry is still the first. Can someone tell me how to change the Grub default menu entry?

I would like to be able to edit which OS is set as default on the first selection menu. I installed Ubuntu via windows xp. and have Grub 2 installed. When I start my computer, first I see is the BIOS, then I have a menu which allows me to select either windows xp or Ubuntu (windows xp is the default which I'd like to change to Ubuntu). Once I select Ubuntu, then I get the menu allowing me to select between the different upgrade versions.
From all the pages I read through on editing grub2 defaults, they only refer to the second menu that I get to pick between the upgrade versions or kernels (I think they are referred to). What I'd like to do is set Ubuntu as the defualt on the first menu screen, as Ubuntu is my preferred OS and it can load automatically, then I don't care what the default upgrade version is loaded (this i have understood how to edit).

Yesterday I installed on my laptop (an IBM Thinkpad T42) "virt manager" using the Synaptic Package Manager. I'm running Karmic.
As part of the installation, SPM had me reboot the computer (which is dual-booted with Windows XP, which I use less than 1% of the time). The new GRUB screen came up showing two new initial lines, the first 2 of the following 4 lines:Ubuntu,
Linux 2.6.31-19-generic-pae
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic-pae (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic (recovery mode)
When I allow the default choice of the first line to prevail, Ubuntu boots up into a condition in which the Wireless Network Connection fails to open, and in which nothing I've been able to think of makes it open.
If, instead, I scroll down to the third line (which was the initial default choice line, i.e., the default choice line prior to the "virt manager" installation), Ubuntu boots up into a condition in which the Wireless Network Connection operates as usual, viz., immediately.
Scrolling down works, but it would be better, it seems to me, to return to the condition in which the current line 3 either becomes line 1 or else becomes the default bootup choice.
I've used SPM to uninstall "virt manager", but the 2 new intial lines in the GRUB options remain. I understand that with Karmic's version of GRUB, viz., GRUB-2, it is no longer possible to change the bootup menu choices easily.
how I can either eliminate the first 2 lines in my current GRUB screen, or make line 3 the default choice?

so in Windows I remember I could add to the registry under the * folder in classes_root under Shell, I could add any command I wanted. That way no matter what file I right clicked on I could have EDIT or OPEN with that file.
Is there a way to add this to the gnome right click menu? A default always there for all filetypes? I have UltraEdit Linux installed and want to have the same functionality I had when I used to use windows.

Like a dummy, I played around with KDE Menu Editor without asking if there was a way to return it to it's defaults, if I screwed it up.
Is there a way to return it to its 'factory settings'?

I have already had Vista installed on another drive and from what i've read on the webs you get to dualboot if you install ubuntu after vista. when i did install it (i installed on a blank hdd with no partitions, choosing the "erase entire disk" option since for some reason default option was attempting to eat a part of my windows 1 gb drive instead of using disk i specially made for it) and the grub 2 loaded for the first time, there was NO option to run vista. only 2 linux (normal and recovery) and 2 memtests. I've ran linux and went to google this. I found that i should add something to some config files in /etc/grub.d/From reading the readme file i understood i could add my own files that are named like NUMBER_SOMENAME and insert code into them. Because it said:Quote: For example, you can add an entry to boot another OS as01_otheros, 11_otheros, etc, depending on the position you want it to occupy inthe menu; and then adjust the default setting via /etc/default/grub. But then i found a file 40_custom that said:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0

I am using Debian lenny (kernel 2.6.26-2-686).
I changed my menu.lst to use
root=UUID=<long uuid string>
instead of the good old
root=/dev/sd...
I did that because, if I boot with a usb drive attached to my computer, sda become sdb and therefor nothing works anymore since my friend Kernel can't mount it's root partition. BTW, it works wonders using the UUIDs. The story darkens each time there is a kernel update, dist-upgrade resets my menu.lst back using the /dev/sd... format. and BANG... no more booting again. I am good to change my menu.lst back each time.

9.10 has no menu.lst file and hitting ESC to does not bring up the grub menu. How can we set bootup options or boot an alternate kernel? I would really like to set the resolution at boot time so that my console (Ctrl-Alt-F5, for example) has 80 columns instead of 40. (What a stupid default, gigantic Commodore-64-like text!) It would also be nice if the Login screen could be set to the resolution that I want.
In previous releases, there were ways to do this. In 9.10, I haven't been able to figure out how.
Is there a document explaining all of the radical changes?

Swiftfox does not have default file handling, and thus I cannot open files from the download menu. When I go to choose the program I want to open the file with, it just takes me to my Home folder in Nautilus. I have no idea where to find the programs I need (Image Viewer, Open Office, and Movie Player are the main ones I need).

i upgraded from f13 to f14 using preupgrade.
now, as the title suggests, the two finger tap acts as a right click, and the three button tab acts as a middle click. and also the tap to click seems disabled by default.
after reading this page, [URL], i created a 50-synaptics.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and put this inside.
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
