Feb 7, 2010I recently installed Karmic, and want to change the default Grub entry to Windows XP. Having done some research and tried things out, I am a bit confused. I have edited etc/default/grub so that it has GRUB_DEFAULT=6 (to correspond to my XP installation) and GRUB_TIMEOUT="3", but after running sudo grub-mkconfig the grub.cfg file still says set default="0".

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Without A CD Burner?
Sep 15, 2010It's been a while since I hosed my system, and I finally stopped procrastinating to backup, format, and reinstall. The latest disc I have available is 9.10, and getting new ones is a feat now that Canonical won't mail them to me. So I installed 9.10 and immediately upgraded to 10.04; somewhere in there it asked me where to installed GRUB and I told it sda1 but not sda, which was apparently a mistake.
I got an error about "grub_puts_" being undefined and used this guide per a relevant thread. I rebooted and got through GRUB, but now all that comes up is the purple background and my cursor; the mouse doesn't move, not that there's anything for it to click anyway. I went on #ubuntu IRC and was advised to do a clean install rather than an upgrade.
Of course I can just stay with 9.10 but would prefer the latest (of course it's about to be obsolete anyway...). I have also heard that it's possible to install to a USB drive; I'm guessing that likewise requires a CD? I guess what I'm wondering is whether I can use a 9.10 install to download and install 10.04 directly to a different device? Finding someone who has a CD burner is a real hassle.
Ubuntu Installation :: GRUB: How To Change The Default Boot Option

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Dual Boot: How To Change The Default Option
Oct 3, 2010I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a notebook which previously ran Vista. No problems there.I've now installed Ubuntu (now updated to 10.04)so that it can boot to either OS.
It all works fine and when I first power up, I get a screen which invites me to select the OS I want to use. There are however two problems:
1) it defaults to Ubuntu (whereas I would prefer it to default to Windows 7 (it's a work laptop and most of the applications are Windows-specific),
2) the list of choices is getting increasingly complex with an expanding list of choices (with each major update of Ubuntu adding more); it even seems to include an option to go back to Vista!As long as I move down the list and make the right selection quite speedily, I get to where I want to be (though, as I say, I would like to change the default option).Is there any way I can edit/shorten this list without damaging the functionality and how can I change that default?

May 29, 2010I 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:

Ubuntu :: Change Default JRE And JVM?
Jul 10, 2010Quote:
One of the greatest things about Linux, ( I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) is your ability to install more than one version of java. Ubuntu, and by default, comes loaded with OpenJdk, which is an open source version of Java. As I stated in a previous discussion, I had some issues to run glassfish with the OpenJdk, so I decided to install the "closed" version of Java directly from Sun microsystem's website ( Hosted by oracle nowadays).
After downloading the latest Java development kit(JDK) which also includes the Java Runtime Envirnonment (JRE), I installed it from the terminal. The java file I downloaded was a ".bin" file. I have explained in the previous discussion, how to install a .bin file.
The installer will extract all the contents of the ".bin" file to a folder in the same directory as of the ".bin" file. Assuming that you have extracted the contents of the ".bin" file to a folder on your Desktop called JAVA6, then the path to this folder would be:
/Desktop/JAVA6
after that go to your terminal window and do the following: sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/Desktop/JAVA6/bin/java" 1
Then issue the following command:
sudo update-alternatives --set Desktop/JAVA6/bin/java
This should set your newly installed java as your default JVM and JRE.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Cannot Change Default On Bootloader
May 11, 2010On my netbook (I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, 10.04) the default option in the Grub menu is Ubuntu. Problem: I'd prefer it to be Windows 7.
I've tried using Startup Manager, which I've used successfully in the past. The program loads fine and lets me change all of the options, and saves and closes fine. But when I restart, the bootloader begins with Ubuntu and a 10 second timeout instead of Windows 7 and a 3 second timeout.
I've also tried editing etc/default/grub and, again, I was able to change it and save it without a problem (default menu item: 4, default timeout: 3). I also did a 'sudo update-grub' to try to get it to stick.
Still nothing. Every time I start up the computer, it's set on Ubuntu 10.04 and a 10 second timeout.
Ubuntu :: Change Default KDM Session?
Jun 23, 2010So, I just installed Kubuntu 10.04, and couldn't let things be, so I installed GNOME, and plan to install a few other desktop environments for fun later. However, when I installed GNOME (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop), I realized that KDM's default session is whatever session you used last time. I'd rather it simply be KDE, since I know I'll be using it most out of any of the others. How can I make the KDM default session be KDE, instead of whatever the previous session was?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Change Default OS In Bootloader
Jun 13, 2010On this particular machine I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 & Open SuSe from the first hard drive & LinuxMint 9 plus Mandriva 2010 on the second drive. I've found out from posting elsewhere on this site that the Ubuntu family & Suse use different versions of GRUB so one may not boot the other. Ubuntu's boots itself, Mint 9 & Suse but not Mandriva, Mandriva's boots itself & Suse, Suse returns the same favour. So my work-around has been to install the Mandriva bootloader onto a floppy & Ubuntu's onto the MBR.
Now, the issue is I want Mint 9 to be the default but when I try to edit the menu/ist file using gedit all I get is a blank page, no data.
