after downloading and installing ubuntu 10.10 from the update manager (was on 10.04), instead of getting to the interface where I select which version on Ubuntu to use I get this. "GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 Minimal BASH-like editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.

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 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo 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)

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:

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. ]
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 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 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....

View 7 Replies View RelatedAfter 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:

mkvmerge -o <filename without extension>_TV.mkv -S <filename> && mkvextract tracks <filename> 3:<filename without extension>.*** && perl /home/brian/Desktop/ass2srt.pl <filename without extension>.*** && rm <filename without extension>.***
Doing these commands for multiple command line file inputs is the goal. So I can just type ./script.sh *.mkv in my terminal.This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work whatsoever.
I installed Ubuntu using Wubi, but I've found it comes with a lot of stuff I don't need, like gedit, brasero, and all the games. Is there a way to install a completely minimal version of Ubuntu, and just install what I need as I go?

I'd like to upgrade my Dell Mini 9 netbook wti 9.10. one of my problems with 9.04 is space. with the standard install I'm using 3.7 of my 4 Gb of HD and want to try and streamline that. I've starting have problems upgrading my apps because of space to downlod the upgrade to.
I plan on formating and starting from scratch with the minimal CD (transfered to USB), but I want a clear recipe of steps.
Main goals:
- Standard gnome interface (not remix)
- Open office writer, calc, and impress
- Chromium
I know once I get started to type "cli" to install the basics, but then what? Many of the guides I've seen online are several years old. I can handle chromium and Open Office once I'm all up and running, but I don't want to install and then uninstall firefox, gimp, etc.

I did something similar with Debian recently, but I had to install the kernel along with the 'dpkg' package, to the HDD. From there, I had to reboot into the core system, install the packages like ppp, wvdial, etc, and then continue with a fresh install of the rest of the system.
There doesn't seem to be a way for me to either install the core files to HDD, or install the internet connectivity packages in the live environment for my modem.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of 64bit Maverick installs from the minimal CD.They each have about 1100 packages installed. When I started to upgrade one to Natty with the Upgrade Manager, it told me it wanted to install 205 new packages (along with upgrading 877).205 new packages seems like a lot of growth in the minimal install.Why do I need those 205 packages?Then I looked at the minimal CD page where I saw that the minimal CD itself (which has lists of packages not the packages) grew from 15.6 to 22MB.So, did the minimal install just bloat up with Natty or what? Is there an even-more-minimal install?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently acquired a micro-sized-PC (A Dell FX130) which comes with a VIA C7 processor, 1GB RAM and 1GB onboard flash. The only application I need is a web-browser, I will use the FX130 to access a (very limited) number of web applications and to download/print-html-to-PDF - putting files onto a USB thumb-drive. I want to encrypt the disk to guard against tampering, and to run a restrictive firewall.
When I try to install the i386 debian-7.7.0 image - I run into the snag that it won't let me use guided configuration for the 1GB flash drive... and - when I guess at a sensible partitioning... I find that I run out of space during the standard installs. I note, however, that a whole bunch of significant applications (which I don't need) are being installed.
I am sure I'm missing something - is there an easy way to do a "minimal" GUI install that would make it easy to fit (just) a web browser (Chrome - ideally) and dependencies onto a 1GB bootable flash drive in a 'Debian-standard' fashion?
I want to install two Linux in my P.C. two partitions mounted to /(one for linux1 e one for linux 2). one partitions mounted to /home (for linux 1 e linux 2 the same time). Two partitions mounted to swap (one for linux1 e one for linux 2). One partitions for BackUP (with the size of 20gb). I have an HD of 80gb. My memory is 256mb. I want to know: The minimal size of swap. (i think that 300mb is enough) the minimum size of partitions mounted in / (will install a lot of programs in both). If i encrypt one partition, what is the difference? I can install two Desktops in the same O.S? I want to install minimum requirements, these programs that come in KDE or Gnome desktop, i don't wanna install they, i can remove from instalation from DVD? I can install Gnome and KDE in the Same time, from the instalation from DVD?
