and I did a silly noobish thing. I have been using Ubuntu in various flavors for a little over a year now, and decided to install it alongside my Win7 Install on my desktop. Last week I read about BURG on omgubuntu.co.ukI am fairly certain I botched the install of burg somehowWhenever I turn on the computer, there is no display, not Mobo splash screen, not post, no GRUB menu nothing. the Display light is orange, indicating no input detected. But I know the OS is loading, I can hear it bootup, I can login, just by pressing enter, then typing my password, then enter again. Once I hear the login screen drum beat, if I turn off the monitor, then turn it on again, I get a super low res display. the driver works, compiz effects work, but everything is at 640 x 480. when I go to system-> preferences-> monitor the display is labeled as unknown and I can't change the resolution.I can access the BIOS, but the screen still does not detect the input, even if I power cycle the monitor after access the BIOS, so I won't try to change any settings, as I can't see what I am doing. The only reason I know I am in the Bios is that I can press f10 and then y to cause it to reset to default settings and cause a reboot.My system:ATi Radeon hd5870AMD Phenom II X4 3.4 GHzWD Velociraptor 300 Gb4 GbRamASUS M4A78-E
I recently installed Burg on my three sig computers and like it very much. I'm having trouble on one of my desktops (AMD 9950BE Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64), I installed it like I did the other 2 but this one initially boots to the standard grub2 menu, and if I press "c" to enter the grub console and exit from it, Burg starts and works normally for that session.
I've spent quite a bit of time comparing files to my Laptop with a working burg and except for HD and partitions these files compare:
I've recently started using burg (a modification of grub that shows pictures instead of/with text), and I really like it for booting into Ubuntu and Vista. After many failed attempts of trying to get OSX on my PC, I'd like to try Macbuntu (a theme for Ubuntu that makes it look like a Mac). Unfortunately (fortunately?) my parents have taking a liking to Ubuntu and hate when I change anything, so installing Macbuntu would be a big no-no. I made a copy of Ubuntu and will put it on another partition of my hard drive, but I don't want to have two Ubuntu pictures when burg boots up. Are there any bootup lines I can put inside burg.cfg to fool it into loading an osx picture, then loading Ubuntu?
In order to correct bug #459647 in compiz (as I have done on 2 other PCs) I downloaded, modified, and compiled the source with apt-src and make. Then I installed the produced .deb files with dpkg -i. For whatever reason the new compiz didn't have wobbly windows nor could I switch workspaces. Compiz is running and I do know however that compositing is working as Docky is still functional (and doesn't really work without compositing).
So I uninstalled all of the compiz packages and reinstalled the versions from the official repository. The same issue remained. During this time I have restarted my computer several times with different configurations. I tried to install compiz packages from the [URL]...ubuntu PPA and still the same problems exist. I'm not sure if there are any other problems that I haven't noticed yet. Finally, in an attempt to fully purge my computer of all things compiz and start over, I got the following error:
Code: masen@dv6000m:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge compiz* [sudo] password for masen: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package compiz-code masen@dv6000m:~$
I'm not sure what "compiz-code" is, but that's the name of the folder that I downloaded the source into. After this command, no packages are removed. I'm currently running Lucid 10.4.1 with all the latest updates. My graphics card is an Intel 945M mobile chipset. I run a similar configuration on 2 other computers with no issues. Has anyone ever seen this? Or have any idea how I can get compiz-code out of my package database. I know the problems I'm encountering aren't high priority, but not having workspaces gets annoying and I have no clue what else is broken with my 'half-broken' compiz.
I was trying to install Debian 5.04 on a Mac G4, and in typical geek tradition, I didn't RTFM. During installation, I nuked all existing partitions, creating new to my liking. But as I learned later during the installation process, yaboot needed a NewWorld partition, so I can't boot the installation. I don't have any OSX CDs with me (this is a used G4 I purchased of craigslist) with which to create a HFS partition.I've re-run the Debian installer, which lets me create a partition that is supposed to be of type 'NewWorld', but the installer does not seem to like it or recognizes it.
im totally new to ubuntu and recently installed it alongside windows 7 just now i tried to install BURG by copying a code i got from a website (dont remember which) into a terminal when i restarted my computer to see if it had worked the following came up
BURG version 1.98+20100623-1 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.
iv looked at every solution from every related forum post but i still cant get into either operating system on my computer. i dont have either of the installation discs which is why i really need to be able to get back into windows, as well as my files and settings. i dont mind if i have to completely remove ubuntu and everything to do with it, as i can easily set that up again in a matter of minutes. right now i just need a way to return my computer to how it was before i installed ubuntu
I tried to download BURG, as instructed by this site (OMG UBUNTU)
I thought that the process might be too dangerous, so I removed all the packages that had were part of Grub2. GRUB however I left installed. After a reboot, The PC comes up to a menu that looks just like this:
Code:

Has anyone played with Burg? I'm a bit apprehensive about trying it.This laptop had 10.10 as the only OS but I shrank the partition and installed 11.04 in the empty space.So 11.04 re-wrote the Grub with itself at the top of the list.So now I have 10.10 in sda1 and 11.04 in sda6.Do you think that Burg will cause any problems?

I am following instructions from [URL]... i've gotten to the point where it says

No such file or directory. I hate installing from source for this exact reason, something always goes wrong. and i'm left scratching my head. But I really want this boot loader.
I installed Ubu 9.04 on a Windows Vista machine. It worked OK. I -- attempted -- to upgrade to Ubu 9.10 on the Vista machine; everything Ubu was trashed. I have the CD for Ubu 10.04. Question: Will 10.04 install (from the CD) on top of previous good/bad installs (without going outside the existing Ubu partition)?
my left mouse button on my Acer laptop stopped working out of nowhere. While searching for a solution I started the upgrade process. Without thinking I restarted during the upgrade installation, which has apparently caused some big problems.I cannot boot any longer. I get the Ubuntu splash, then a slowly flashing black screen.I am able to boot to the Live Cd without any problems, but I'm not sure what to do from there.I'm been searching the forums, but can't find anything.
So when upgrading to 10.04 there were a few errors and now the machine will not boot up. All I am trying to do now is recover some pictures from the HD so I can to a clean install. I used the Ubuntu 9.04 install disk to gain access to the HD and was able to backup some of the files but other files are locked somehow. When trying to copy them it says that "folder content could not be displayed. You do not have the permission necessary to view the contents." The files in question have orange X's on them.
I admit, my knowledge of LINUX isn't that great. That said, I thought I'd be able to pull off a basic upgrade (clean install of a whole new kernel, not patching the existing one) from the latest 2.6.31 in the ubuntu repo (I think it's 2.6.31-19.54 to be exact) to 2.6.33 (kernel --latest-stable) from source. I got all the config done, compiled it, and updated GRUB, rebooted to find that it had a "2.6.33.old" entry in the menu (not particularly relevant, I admit) even though I only ran the "make install" command once. Anyway, when I selected the non-old entry, it churned for a moment, gave a couple of weird screens for <1 sec each, and then gave me an error about a missing graphics module (I'll look for how to automate loading modules on my own, and see if I can port the existing NVIDIA module from my working kernel to the newer one) and gave me a list of options like "boot into graphics safe-mode" "boot to login shell", etc. and the mouse wouldn't work, so I had to use the keyboard to work the screen (i chose the shell login, since I didn't feel like seeing ubuntu's butchered face while it's in "graphics safe-mode"). I managed to get the computer to boot into the stock kernel, and am now wondering the following:
1). Do any of you guys out there think it's worth trying to save this kernel update?
2). How do I go about removing the "2.6.33.old" kernel & entry? (i've tried synaptec, the "make remove" and "make auto-remove" commands with no success.)
On my desktop, I have Windows 7. I just also installed ubuntu on a partition in order to dual-boot. The installation worked fine, however now I cannot use the internet on either os. I have a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller On Windows 7, the LAN flashes from "Enabled" -> "Identifying" -> "Network cable unplugged". It does this on a seemingly continuous loop. When I disable it, it will not let me enable it. It says it can't start. Also, I uninstalled and re-installed the driver for my ethernet with no change.On Ubuntu, when I try to do "ifconfig eth0 up" and "dhclient eth0" I get the message "No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."
Botched upgrade to 11.04, but learned enough about Unity that I don't want to go there. (also installer to put second new 11.04 wants to erase everything on main drive). Can reach 10.10 -boot from prior Linux - but mouse and internet are gone. Everything else seems to work and I can get to System and terminal with keyboard shortcuts, but need to reinstall mouse (Logitech M110) and internet. Can't find an Xorg.conf file or a /dev/input/event3.
So I ran the update manager to install the latest kernel. It goes fine and was sitting at the restart prompt. I was playing minecraft and the entire system locked up - couldn't restart X or anything. Hard restart and I get a multitude of errors mostly dealing with not being able to find things in /dev/... It gives me a command line but I'm lost as to where to go from here to repair my system
Yesterday I played a little with a Bitcoin miner and discovered today that I must have scambled my 3D settings. My Intel graphics card doesn't seem to work, instead I must have added a nVidia Settings Manager to my menu.
I already removed the package I mistakenly installed (something concerning OpenCL) but nothing happens. The xorg.conf file seems to be okay.
Gnome now only starts in 2D mode and Unity refuses to work at all. how I might get my Intel card back working?
I'm trying to make my BURG boot loader look better, right now it has the Ubuntu and Windows icons, but for name it has things like "untu 2.6" because the name won't fit. I am trying to change them simply to "Ubuntu" and "Windows 7", but I'm having some trouble. Using this guide, I am able to change the entries for GRUB2,but it has no effect on my BURG entries. Even if it was just removing the names all together, and just having the icons, that would be fine.
I installed Burg, I then spent a decent amount of time editing a theme to look like I wanted as shown below. Its slightly glitcy but I pretty pleased However burg is refufing to save my choice of theme The configuration file looks like this, I've tried changing the theme to = the specific theme i want but that doesn't work, neither does changing the folding options to = yes.
# Use the previous selected theme, you can also specify a theme to be used # In the boot menu, use hotkey 't' to popup a theme selection menu GRUB_THEME=saved # Use the previous folding option, its value can be 'yes', 'no' or 'saved' # In the boot menu, use hotkey 'F7' to show the full list, 'f' to toggle # between folding modes. GRUB_FOLD=saved with it.
I installed Burg and it worked for some time. I installed some apps that I can't remember anymore and closed my comp. I restarted my computer today and Burg does not work anymore, Grub just start like before. I tried to reinstalled Burg and it changed nothing. When I check Burg-emu it shows me the right thing, like if Burg was working. Did it happened to somebody else?
Thought BURG would be cool so I installed it. Something is very wrong. (See attached photos) all I get is the 1st photo, BURG version 1.98+20100623-1+karmic. If I tab I get photo 2. At this point I'd be happy just to restore GRUB2 & forget BURG but I can't even boot to any OS. I haven't had Ubuntu on this PC for long so maybe the best, or simplest option, would be to re-install Ubuntu- which would rewrite grub2.
I've installed burg with no major hassle. Started up the computer to see a pretty new boot menu, but Ubuntu fails to boot. The screen immediately turns black and the computer reboots. Fortunately, I have grub backed up on a usb flash drive so I can boot.
I am running Maverick and I want to install kernel version 2.6.35-25. I marked all the available options in Synaptic, but the new kernel won't load in burg. What else am I supposed to install?
I'm having problems with BURG. I installed it and it's working but he only show text. I'm using "ubuntu" theme. If I run "sudo burg-emu", it look fine but then in boot, not. It's running in graphical mode because if I press 'f8' it changes to text-mode. I have tried to change resolution without results.
ive been dual booting ubuntu and xp for a bit now using burg. i decided to get osx and the install went fine.i had some grub issues but i got help with that here.burg can see that i have osX and gives me the option to boot it, but when i select it my computer restarts.i can only get into windows xp and ubuntu 10.4, but cant find a way to boot osXive read about a EUFI mode in the bios but dont really understand it and haven't found that option in my bios. ive not got alot of Linux experience but will try anything to get my triple boot working.does anyone know what i need to do. i dont no if i have to change how it boots or if its just a config file that needs changes made?bellow is my hard drive layout just in-case.
