I had ubuntu, mint and win 7 now i cant boot non of em having pclinuxos installed in a newly created partition. grub only shows pclinuxos and nothing else.i cant even see my other partitions .. installed pclinuxos as root.
View 9 RepliesDuring the installation the installer asked me if my clock was set to UTC. I didn't know what that meant so I said yes. Now whenever I boot into Lenny it messes up the time of day, and since I dual boot with puppy and knoppix on this machine, the time of day is messed up in those systems also. Any idea how to permanently undo the damage in Lenny?

I even downloaded the .iso and booted up on the LiveCD and it is still screwed up. I am assuming something is screwed up in the graphics setting, but how do you change it if you cannot see it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2x 2TB drives for data storage in my system. I placed both drives in a volume group and made 1 big 4TB partition on it. I made it ext4 and mounted it in my Ubuntu Server environment and used it for a while without any problems. Just now I wanted to work a little with Windows 7 and I installed it on a separate hard drive (a 500GB one). This went fine but the (f***ing!) Windows 7 installer automatically made a 100MB system reserved partition on one of the 2TB drives (because the freaking MS OS saw them as unallocated space). That basically scewed up the volume group.
Running vgchange -ay gives an error that device with UUID (..) couln't be found. Running vgchange -ay --partial works and activates my volume group as read only. When I try to mount my logical volume inside that volume group mount gives the error that I need to specify the file system. When I do so with mount -t ext4 it returns the error that it's the wrong file system. Is there a way for me to fully restore my volume group? Or a way to mount what's left of it so that I can backup as much data as possible?
I had Ubuntu 9.10 installed and working great. I wanted to check out SUSE because i heard it was better for laptops and wanted to test it out. Went through the install, which was a bit more complicated partition wise than I'd like, asking the begin and end segment shell or something. I changed them to give me a 5GB partition, deleted an old partition of gNewSense (wireless was just too difficult to implement ie. work) and tada... stuff broke. gNewSense still shows up in SUSE's "GRUB" but I can't boot to it. When I threw in my 9.10 cd to fix everything, it showed that 9.10 was still installed and gNewSense was not.
So, how can I fix this. Is there a way to just reinstall the 9.10 GRUB for the Ubuntu I already have installed? The sooner the better, Ubuntu was my primary OS and all my stuff is on it! FYI, do not recommend SUSE as far as installation goes
I am a serious newbie when it comes to Linux. I bought an Emprex BNB-1021 mini notebook which came with Ubuntu 8.04 preinstalled. Since that's a relatively old distro, I figured I'd upgrade to 10.04. I downloaded the upgrade and installed it, and right at the end of the process I got an error (I don't recall exactly what it said, but I think the gist was that the installation failed). Anyway, now Ubuntu won't boot. The boot aborts and I get dumped into BusyBox. Here's the output of the screen:

I just reinstalled my OS (Ubuntu 10.04) and on a new and faster drive than before. And now it's running slower! I was an IDE drive before and not it's SATA and at higher RPM's. The first thing I noticed was that my game, "Armagetron" was not the same. The graphics are really screwed up in it. It looks like a diff version altogether! And I can't find any other versions. Also the controls were different! I have never had to change the controls before. This is what it use to look like before the format: [URL]. This is what it looks like now: Then I played some other games just to see and test. They don't look different but they definitely LAG.....

In the recovery partition i cant do anything and specifically delete the fedora installation and the bootloader it came with. I need to boot into the normal C: partition where windows vista is installed.So i tried to repair the Windows vista bootsector but it said that the boot thingy was fine

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I am stuck in the bootloader hell. With a vintage PC
Ok, so here's the setup:There is one HDD, with two primary partitions: 1st for the system, 2nd for the swap. I booted Luit Linux Live CD, and ran it's HDD install script. The Luit Linux is based on Damn Small Linux that uses kernel version 2.4.22. For some reason, it's bootloader LILO install did something wrong and the fresh install wouldn't boot
Error 15 By the way, I don't understand why the bootloader texts refer to GRUB, while the install script definitely was installing LILO.
I can now boot again with that same Live CD (or any other CD that would boot to Linux), and once loaded, mount the hard disk and check and update it's contents. I'd like to install there as up-to-date GRUB version what that ancient hardware (48MB RAM) can take, and then configure the GRUB to load that install that's sitting on the hdd.I will be very grateful for any advice. Unfortunately my knowledge of things like GRUB is very poor, so it's difficult to look up advice by searching the internet.
I've been using Ubuntu 9.10 for a while now, and i've started to look at other distros of linux. I found PClinuxOS which seemed decent and decided to install it alongside my Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows Vista. The bootloader that came with PClinuxOS recognised my Vista OS, but not my Ubuntu.long story short, i recovered Ubuntu's GRUB becasue i had already edited it to my liking. GRUB found the PClinuxOS partition and added it to the menu. Vista and Ubuntu start fine, but when i try to select the PClinuxOS option, i get this message-type-thing:
[linux-bzImage, setup=0x3a00, size=0x1f9110]vga=788 is deprecated. useset gfxpayload=800x600x16, 800x600 before linux command insteaderror: no such partitionI don't really know, but it almost sounds like GRUB is trying to find the linux kernel, but it cannot connect to the partition for some reason. I have been extremely pleased with Ubuntu, so I really don't need another distro, but I'd like to know how to fix this
So I currently have an Ubuntu/Mandriva/PCLinuxOS multiboot setup on my system. After I installed the latter two I setup Ubuntu's grub2 to be my default boot manager. After running my Code: sudo update-grub command it successfully found and added entries for Mandriva and PCLinuxOS, however upon trying to boot into either of these distros (selecting them from the menu) I get some terminal output that ultimately ends in kernel panic.

well the majority of the systems at my school run on windows (duh) and each student has their own network drive nobody has access to each others drive, but all of the systems accesses these drives with the use of novell client and theres a specific name for each drive and password, plus the network tree has a certain name to, how do i access these drives in pclinuxos by including usernames and password to access these drives based on the username and password that is typed in.
