I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 and have been been playing around with GRUB2 in order to customize the boot menu (background image, less menu item, etc). I've been successful in doing some things but my 40_custom file in my grub.d folder is missing! Here is what happens when I try to update my grub:
euri@euri-HP-6730b-FN021UT-ABA:~$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for euri:
Generating grub.cfg ...

I am very new user to ubuntu and new to this community,first of all if i make anything wrong in this post please forgive and guide me,
My friend have a laptop which was running in windows 7.Last week he installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.But after that boot menu is not showing and it is automatically booting to ubuntu.
So i pressed Shift key during boot and checked boot menu list,which is showing only linux OS ,Linux OS recovery mode and memtest86,No windows 7 option.
So I did following things.
Step1: Tried to find out the partitions using fdisk -l
2.So i tried to add a manual entry by editing the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file like below ,and changed the permission using chmod +x update-grub command
3.Run the update-grub command
But it is not updating the manual entry,The above update-grub command output showing the update-grub command not even entering into the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file because i put echo in that file in that ,and that also not coming.
Related to my last post.
This post was me trying to get GeeXboX working on my computer.
I had no idea how to edit GRUB2 and initially posted my first effort below:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry "GeeXboX 1.2.4 for x86_32 (PC, MacIntel)" {
set root=(hd0,5)
linux /GEEXBOX/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw rdinit=linuxrc root=UUID=d46e2773-aba9-41b3-a36b-fc3a6710a474 lang=en keymap=qwerty splash=silent quiet
initrd /GEEXBOX/boot/initrd.gz
}
I am running ubuntu 10.4 only .
I assume to make the boot menu appear I have to add an entry into 40_custom file. Not quiet sure how to make that entry, or if it has to be positioned a certain way.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and attempting to install an HP Photosmart C6200.
Using HP Device Manager- Setup, I am able to detect the printer.
I receive an error:
There is no matching ppd file here: usr/share/ppd/hplip/HP.
There are no PPD files for any photosmart printer.
I seem to be missing a secure.log or security.log file. have Ubuntu 10.04 and can't find this file. I looked in the /var/log and ran a search command to no avail. Does anyone know where this file is or is it called something else.looking for a file that logs any change to the security settings of the system.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to install Ubuntu for long time and abandoned the idea a few times because of the same technical problem which seems to pop over and over again. ive been trying to install it after using an XP system or a Win 7 OP, and every time i faced the same Error again again- "wubildr.mbr file is missing". i installed it from a CD and tried the Wubi program too but both gave me the same error at the end. i have a decent PC with 2 hard drives, 1 of 500gbs and the other with 160gbs(which is used for the OP's). the goal was to install Ubuntu alone with no other operation systems in other partitions. Now i thought to use the Full Format of the Win XP which takes about half an hour or probably more and then installed the Ubuntu system, i got some different error which goes like this- "Windows rootsystem32hal.dll missing"

I have installed ubuntu 10.4 as a dual boot with Windows 7. I thought, because of a previous experience, that my music and pictures were ok in the windows file system because I would be able to access them. Well I can't. I don't even see the the Windows c: drive. I know its still there because I can boot windows.
So what do I need to do to make the c: volume / drive reappear.
I have installed windows 7 back to its former state in after foolishly messing around with some installation options in an Ubuntu install (this caused windows to disappear, and me to repair it). In *repairing* windows, I overwrote my grub file and the boot options for Ubuntu, so that it looks something like this:
Disk 1: Primary Partition - Windows 7
Disk 1: Secondary Partition - Windows 7
Disk 1: Secondary Partition - Free Space ( this is where I have Ubuntu installed)
How can I repair my grub file so that I can boot into my Ubuntu installation?

View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently made the switch from the evil OS, now running F14, KDE desktop. I use a Logitech Marble Mouse, which has no middle button but two scroll buttons, and have been trying to configure button mapping (I think this may also be called Xorg hotplugging?) to map one of the scroll buttons as a middle button. The most helpful info I have yet found was on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...h_Marble_Mouse which seems to provide plenty of info on the subject--enough I should have no problem mapping the buttons the way I want. The only problem is I have no 10-evdev.conf file in my xorg.conf.d folder. I opened a console and ran ls as root for good measure, but the only file that showed up was 00-system-setup-keyboard.conf .
