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 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

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 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)

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....

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
Code:
i915.modeset=1

I used to be a pro at editing Grub's menu.lst file so I could have my menu look clean, simple, and easy to read. Now that I have set up 10.04 (Working beautifully now after a couple setbacks) the menu.lst file is no longer where it used to be (/boot/grub/menu.lst)
How do I edit my boot menu now?

I am currently installing the Ubuntu 10.04 Alternative, as I am having problem with video card. What I know is that I need to edit the Grub file in /etc/default/grub and add i915.modeset=1 for my video card. What I don't know is how to do that in the command line, what application should I use and how to save it? Also, if everything works well, I want to boot to gnome automatically. What I am looking for is a step by step instructions (as I can get lost).

I am a new Ubuntu user, and I am attempting to set Windows 7 64 bit as my default OS in the boot loader instead of Ubuntu 10.10. I have entered the command gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst into terminal, and the menu.lst file does open. However, this file appears to be completely blank, which does not seem to make sense and is preventing me from changing the boot order.

I have the suspicion that the latest gdm update (2.28.1-0ubuntu2.2) broke something because the login screen isn't displayed anymore on my desktop. My question is the following:How can I revert an update or force a package version via command line? It's pretty straight forward via Synaptic but I only have access to the recovery command line so that is not really an option.

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.
