Ubuntu Installation :: Replaced With The Grub's Of Fedora

Jun 26, 2011

I was using ubuntu 11.04 with a separate boot partition. Then i installed fedora 15 during which i erased(format) the /boot partition which holds the Grub2 entries for ubuntu. And its been replaced with the Grub's of Fedora. My Ubuntu installation is still intact sans the /boot folder. i tried copying the ubuntu vmlinuz and initrd into /boot (now belonging to fedora) and booted from grub - it throws me into initramfs , from which i dont know how to get into the lovely GUI of ubuntu .

[Code].....

where /sda1 is boot ; /sda7 is home ; /dev/sda10 having the [once] ubuntu installed files without /boot folder ; /dev/sda3 my fedora installation from where am typing this. Can i make a dual boot of ubuntu and fedora now without the need of reinstalling ubuntu again

Ubuntu Installation :: Replaced XP With Win7 - Need To Change Grub?

Aug 28, 2010

I had XP Home on my dual boot Ubuntu 10.04 LTS amd64 PC & now installed Window 7 Home Premium 64-bit over old XP. Before installing Win7, as a precaution, I disconnected the hard drive where Ubuntu is installed. Now, naturally, the startup screen (grub?) still offers XP. Is there an easy way to re-detect & rewrite the startup menu with the Ubuntu install CD without re-installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS amd64 again, like a GRUB repair or rewrite?

I currently have integrated graphics on my system but I am going to gettign a new graphics card to use. Click here to see it. I have a dual boot system with Windows Vista and Ubuntu 10.04.

Fedora Servers :: DNS For Web Server - Gets Replaced With The IP Address

Sep 26, 2009

I have installed Fedora 11 and I have set it up as a web server with Apache. I have a domain name from GoDaddy that I own and I have set it to my web server. I am able to type the address into a browser on a computer outside of my network and it will pull up the web pages on the server. the problem that I am having is that after I type the URL, it gets replaced with the IP address. [URL] I know that I need a nameserver to resolve the IP address but I can not figure out how to do it. I have tried to use Bind but I can never seem to get it to work.

Fedora Networking :: Resolv.conf Not Replaced

Nov 1, 2010

I use Fedora 13 (minimal installation), ISC DHCP server 4.1.1-P1. I'm running Fedora 13 too on a separate machine (minimal installation) with ISC DHCPclient 4.1.1-P1. My goal is to do some IPv6 testing. When I use the DHCP client manually (dhclient -6 -timeout 5 -d -v eth0), the client retrieves and installs a dynamically assigned IPv6 address.

Additionally, the client gets 1 DNS resolver address and 1 DNS search list. The resolver address and DNS search list always get written into /etc/resolv.conf. Perfect, exactly what I need. But when I do a "service network restart" or restart my system (which should trigger the same, as far as I understood), the DNS resolver addr and the search list get written into /etc/resolv.conf.save and the /etc/resolv.conf stays as before. How can I change this behavior? I don't need the .save file, I just want to have /etc/resolv.conf replaced by the latest DNS information.

Sep 4, 2011

I have old app that by default is looking for /dev/dsp as an audio device. The source is configured as such and I want to change that so sound will work on current versions of Fedora.

Fedora Hardware :: Battery Replaced - BIOS Not Load ROM From PCI Adapter

Jan 16, 2011

I just replaced the battery on my motherboard in an older computer that I was going to load Linux on. Before I replaced the battery, I booted up the computer and my old copy of win2k loaded up fine. Now that I have replaced the battery, the BIOS will not load the ROM from my PCI ATA adapters (one SIIG ATA 133 IDE controller, and one Promise ATA 133 IDE controller) which are hooked to my hard drives that I boot from (software raid 1) and the CDROM drive in the system (along with some other hard drives for storage). I removed the adapters and stuck them in another computer to check them. They both loaded their ROM's into the BIOS of the other computer. So the cards are fine. The computer has an award BIOS. I have checked all of the settings and reset the CMOS again, but it will not load the ROMs from the PCI controllers into the BIOS on boot.

Fedora Installation :: Repair Grub Through Grub-ubstall - /dev/dsa Doesn't Exist

Jan 17, 2009

I am trying to install my laptop in a triple-boot configuration with Fedora 10, Windows XP and Windows 7 beta. I did already installed them in that order. This is how it is layed out on the harddisk:

Now i want to use grub to present a menu at boot so i can select an OS. Because I installed XP last it boots straight into XP. I've understood i should be able to do the following:

All goes well until the last step (grub-install). It gives an error stating that /dev/sda doesn't exist, which is correct; It doesn't. I do have the "device" listed outside of the chrooted environment.

My question is: How do I get /dev/sda available in my chrooted environment?

Fedora Installation :: Replace Grub 2 With Grub Legacy?

Jun 2, 2011

I had Fedora 14 (x86) and Windows XP with Grub Legacy (Grub) for dual boot in my desktop.

I installed Debian and Grub 2 replaced Grub in the MBR.

Must I reinstall F14 to recover Grub as bootloader or is there another lighter way to do it?

Fedora :: Arial Font Replaced With Arial-black Under 14?

Feb 26, 2011

I've got a font issue on my system: The normal arial is missing from my system and all software substitutes it with arial-black. It's a system wide problem:Firefox, konqueror and chrome all render Arial texts as Arial-blackOpenOffice and GIMP only display "arial black" in font selection, not arialInkscape displays bot arial and "arial black", but they're the same font.I tried reinstalling liberation-sans-fonts package and even rebooted, but the problem remains. I checked my fontconfig configuration, but nothing seems to be wrong.I believe the problem first occured after I uninstalled VirtualBox (proprietary edition). But I'm not sure.

Fedora Installation :: What Can Do From Ubuntu / GRUB 2 Bootloader Itself To Simply Add Fedora To L

Sep 1, 2011

I had Fedora on my laptop (as well as Windows Vista 32-bit) working fine but I wanted to add Ubuntu for some things, and I did, however something unexpected happened: When I go to boot the the computer, the GRUB 2 bootloader (from Ubuntu) showed ubuntu, and windows, but not fedora, so I can't get into fedora. From a knoppix disk, I determined that all my fedora stuff is there, and (to the best of my ability to determine) intact, but I can't access it. What can I do from Ubuntu or the GRUB 2 bootloader itself to simply add fedora to that list?

Fedora Installation :: 15 Installation Fails With Grub Error - File Not Found

May 24, 2011

Ive installed about 50+ boxes with ubuntu/mint/fedora/etc but f15 is giving me a real headache...

I tried a fresh install over f14 with this drive (sdb, sda is my backup disk)

Installed obviously in part7

After rebooting (successful copied live image on hdd)

Code:

After another couple of installs (with lvm & w/o lvm) & even disconnecting the second harddrive -> same issue

Typing 'ls' in the rescue grub prompt returns

Code:

Cant 'ls /' into a single them - unknown filesystem (grub is installed in mbr of sdb) 'linux rescue' (wanted to try manual grub installation) command didnt work either.

Now again on fedora 14, same installation procedure, works fine. (and i wont bother doing a full distro upgrade from f14)

Fedora Installation :: FC14 Installation Crashed To Grub Prompt

Dec 20, 2010

I decided to upgrade my FC installation to the latest version - FC itself offered the upgrade when I turned the machine on, so it appeared that it was nicely packaged to make the upgrade easy.After a long download of packages, the machine rebooted and then started taking me through configuration options (timezone, disks to use for the installation etc) but then it crashed trying to write to disk and now leaves me at a grub prompt whenever I boot.Is there any way to "get at" the installation files and get back into trying to install or do I now need to download an ISO and burn a DVD and start all over again?

Fedora Installation :: Installation Success But No Boot Nor Grub Menu

Mar 18, 2011

I installed F14 from my usb according to the wiki page using unetbootin. The usb boots perfectly and i get a working F14 system. I partitioned my HD with gparted and got a /,/home and swap partition, then used the installer to install the system using them. The installer finishes without a problem and ask me to reboot. When I reboot , there is a blank black screen. No grub menu , no fedora loading. I reboot with the usb and the partitions are full with the files from F14 , there is no xorg.log in the /var/log/ so f14 doesn't even start so the problem seems to be with grub.

I check the grub.conf in /boot/ , i set the timeout to 5 secs , i check that the kernel is using nomodeset (according to this wiki page there is a problem with ati), xorg.conf is using vesa as a driver and I reinstall grub with grub-install with no problems.My notebook is a acer aspire 5552 , i don't think is a hardware problem because I've used arch and opensuse with no problems in it. Fedora seems a nice distro , but this error is preventing me from using it.

Fedora Installation :: Reinstall Grub After A Windows Installation Deleted It?

Jul 23, 2011

This is partly a note to myself for the future and a guide to anyone who experiences similar issues.

So, I had to reinstall Windows XP since my previous installation gave me a blue screen error due to reasons unfathomable. Naturally, this deleted the GNU Grub and I could not login to my Fedora.

I read that apparently booting from a DVD installation offers an option to enter the rescue mode. I did not have a DVD, I only had the LiveCD so I had to figure out a way to reinstall Grub from the LiveCD. The following method seemed to do the trick.

Run the LiveCD and open Terminal.

1. Find the partition where the Grub Stage1 is code...

Fedora Installation :: Install Another Distro But Keep Fedora's Grub

Dec 24, 2009

im still relatively new to linux and fedora, and i was wondering if it would be possible to install another distro on an external hard disk and keep fedora's grub. i tried this once before but the following things happened: (fedora is on my internal hard disk) the installation to the external hard drive went well, and i set the boot partition to C: because thats the first partition however when i unplugged my external hard drive, and proceeded to boot into fedora, nothing happened. my bios screen flashed and then a blank screen with a cursor. is there anyway to keep Fedora's grub where it is and just install another linux distro without that said distro's grub and add that distro to the grub list in fedora manually? or even boot to my external from the bios itself (because mine can do that)

Fedora Installation :: Possible To Add Other OS To Grub?

Oct 14, 2009

I am going to install fedora along with other operating systems. I have tried this before and failed because I first installed sam linux, then pcbsd, then fedora. I used the sam linux bootloader and added pcbsd and it worked fine. I tried the same with fedora but it didn't work. There were four partitions on the harddrive. One for sam, one for pcbsd, one for fedora /boot, and one for fedora volgroup. I edited the boot loader to add volgroup but when I tried to boot it it would not load.

So I went back and replaced it with /boot but the same thing happened. In other words, the first two systems would load but not fedora. So if I plan ahead so that fedora is the last one and I install it's bootloader, will I be able to add entries for the other two and have them boot properly? It seems like the last time I looked at the fedora bootloader the only option it had was to change the default entry.

I don't remember if entries can be added at installation time or not. Is it normal for fedora to only boot if it's own bootloader is installed and not the bootloader of another os? If I add something else later, is there some way to add it to the menu? Just going to system-administration-bootloader won't do it. I have fedora ten. If in the future I upgrade to 11 or 12 will the bootloader and it's menu stay the same?

Ubuntu :: Text Replaced With Rectangles?

So I booted up lucid lynx this morning and all the text is replaced with rectangles.This is true for the login screen and any applications I can get to open (Some such as Chrome and Firefox will not launch).If I boot into recovery mode and enter the command line, text works as normal.I found some suggestions to run "sudo fc-cache -f -v" which did not fix the issue and one suggestion to edit xorg.conf in a particular way, but since xorg.conf doesn't exist in lucid lynx, that was a no go.I did get a couple of screen shots:

Fedora Installation :: Grub Not Displaying ?

May 23, 2009

I've just installed Fedora10 from the live cd.

My setup is as follows:
Hard disk 1 - Dedicated to XP(160Gb) - Not used at all during installation!
Hard disk 2 - Used entirely for Fedora (250Gb)

I used the "Delete all partitions and create default layout" option.

Hard disk 2 was the only drive ticked to be used for this installation.

Hard disk 2 was selected as the drive to boot from.

On the next menu I put the bootloader in the primary partition of Hard disk 2 (NOT THE MBR OPTION) Then selected the default OS to load as Windows XP.

But now, when I start the computer, it justs loads XP like a single OS system. I never see any hint of GRUB running or attempting to run.
