OpenSUSE Install :: Grub Entry Modification - Cannot Remove From Menu List

Jun 20, 2010

I've recently installed suse x64 kde in dual boot mode with windows. I have 2 primary partitions with ntfs with 1 for windows7 boot and other for data/storage. There is no boot provision for data partition. SUSE install is on extended partition. I am unable to run fdisk -l and boot info script for some reason, kde is freaking me out (used to use gnome for last 4 years). The GRUB shows data as a boot and it added an entry in its menu. I will like to remove that entry from menu list.

OpenSUSE :: Cron (Cannot Make / Remove Entry For PAM Session)

Jun 28, 2011

I run a virtual server with a standard minimal openSUSE 11.4 installation (Strato image) and all recent updates installed.
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux servername 2.6.18-028stab089.1 #1 SMP Thu Apr 14 13:46:04 MSD 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

A few days into running the server I found that although /usr/sbin/cron was running it didn't execute the cron scripts. Instead, I find this:

Code:
$ tail -n 3 /var/log/messages
Jun 28 18:00:01 servername /usr/sbin/cron[28590]: pam_warn(crond:session): function=[pam_sm_open_session] service=[crond] terminal=[cron] user=[root] ruser=[<unknown>] rhost=[<unknown>]
Jun 28 18:00:01 servername /usr/sbin/cron[28590]: (root) PAM ERROR (Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session)
Jun 28 18:00:01 servername /usr/sbin/cron[28590]: (root) FAILED to open PAM security session (Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session) repeated every 20 minutes.

I have this:
Code:
$ cat /etc/pam.d/crond
# The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon
# No PAM authentication called, auth modules not needed
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
account sufficient pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/cron.allow onerr=succeed quiet
auth include common-auth
account include common-account
password include common-password

As per the standard installation and /etc/cron.allow doesn't exist (I tested if it made a difference if it existed with the single line root in it, but there was no effect). I need cron to execute because I want zypper to auto-update my server. On my home openSUSE 11.4 installation the problem doesn't exist. Is it perhaps related to the settings in the yast security center?

Ubuntu :: Get The Right Entry In Grub?

Mar 19, 2010

I just installed archlinux to try it out and need to add the entry to Grub.

I formated the hard drive with the a root partition for arch of 42Gb and ubuntu can see it perfeclty.

When I was installing arch I made a mistake and installed grub again, overwriting my previous grub with my ubuntu and windows entries.

So I fixed and got my working grub back with SuperGrubDisk, but now I want to add the ARCHLINUX entry to Grub and dont know how. I have added the previous entries from the grub that ARCH installed and moved the initrd and vmlinuz files to the /boot directory on ubuntu, but it doesnt work. I did a similar thing with Acronis True Image rescue cds(to avoid having to insert the cd in order to use it) and it worked like a charm, but I am lost in this one.

Here are my partitions, sdb is the one where all my partitions and files are (sdb5 is where ARCH is), the other 2 are backups:

Quote:

Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xda85214c

Ubuntu :: Cannot Boot Red Hat Since There Is No Entry In The Grub?

Oct 26, 2010

I have a pc where there was redhat installed, and I decided to put ubuntu in dual boot.The installation went ok, but now I can't log in with redhat anymore. RH was installed on a RAID partition, and I installed ubuntu on an additional HD.

Now I have two problems:

a) I cannot boot red hat, since there is no such entry in the grub
b) this machine had several users, that now cannot access it remotely anymore.

Below you can find the output of fdisk -l and the grub.cfg files, the old red hat one, and the new one created by ubuntu. Not that in any case I cannot reinstall redhat, since there are other people using the machine.

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Entry Gone After Upgrading 9.10

Jan 6, 2010

I have installed ubuntu 9.10 and everything was working fine. Just a minutes ago a window popped up telling me that a complete update couldn't be completed, and asked me to go on with a partial update. I did it and then a window popped up (I think it was debconf running) asking me if I wanted to delete phpmyadmin database configuration or if I wanted to keep it... seemed like the updater was removing quite a bunch of packages!

After that I was presented with a long list of packages to be removed (among them apache2, php5, linux headers, etc.) I thought it was going to remove them in order to reinstall them latter, so I let it go) but now there's no ubuntu entry in the grub menu, so I had to boot with windows! Right now I'm downloading ubuntu 9.10 livecd to give it a try...

Ubuntu Installation :: Add 9.10 Entry To Another GRUB Setup?

Jan 14, 2010

My problem is this, I decided to try Pardus since I had the disk space available and learned that it never created a entry for Ubuntu 9.10 64-Bit. I have tried many different boot options and have only gotten it to show the first black and white bootsplash but never can continue to boot. Is there a option I am forgetting to add via Pardus's GRUB editor or is it something else?

Ubuntu :: Why Does Installing Grub-doc Remove BOTH Grub-pc And Grub-common

Jan 3, 2010

I'm just slightly confused here, but... what the? Why does installing grub-doc remove BOTH grub-pc, and grub-common? So basically it seems like by installing grub-doc, I have uninstalled grub totally (yes, it is still there as the bootloader, but i have no way of updating it now!) from my system. What's the conflict between grub-doc and grub-pc, such that grub-pc has to be removed?

Ubuntu Installation :: Removing Windows Entry From Grub Bootloader?

Jan 26, 2010

I currently dual boot and wish to know how to remove the Windows partition/drive while still allowing Ubuntu 9.04 to load safely as my main OS. I know how to restore windows partition by;

If MBR gets damaged boot from MS Windows Xp disc, Select "R" for "recovery console", select main windows installation drive (admin password usually nothing, just press enter) and type "FIXMBR" this will allow you to boot windows again, but Ubuntu partition will be unbootable and require installing ubuntu again to dual boot.

But this leaves Ubuntu partition Un-bootable as it removes the grub menu, how would I do the same for Ubuntu and make window partition un-bootable so I can remove it?

Ubuntu Installation :: Lost Windows Entry In Grub After Update

Jul 9, 2010

Ubuntu's update manager recently updated the Grub menu.lst file. It let me decide if I wanted to keep my old menu.lst or the new one. After deciding that I was fine with the new one, I found out that I can no longer boot into Windows 7. I had previously edited menu.lst so that Windows would be at the top of the list, however, I didn't notice that this had put it into the automagic update area, and I realize now that I should have just edited what the default number was instead of moving around the entries.

Anyways, I can no longer access my Windows 7 OS via Grub, and I was wondering what sort of fix I can have for this. I've tried running update-grub, but it hasn't fixed the problem. The Windows bootloader is on the first partition of the only hard drive, as far as I can remember.

Sep 12, 2009

I want to avoid kernel id in Grub entry. I have searched before and one poster (can't find it again) posted a very simple Fedora Grub entry that just pointed to Fedoara's menu.lst. which worked.

For Suse I use:

root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 splash=silent showopts vga=0x31a
initrd /boot/initrd
savedefault
boot

I nave tried:
title Fedora
root (hd0,4)
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1

Where Fedora is on sda5 but, doesn't work for some reason.

General :: How To Configure Grub (New Entry Via Yast)

Jun 15, 2010

For some time I have been using Clonezilla to backup/restore linux installations. I would like - instead to USB-key that is always not to be found, to somehow "move" the clonezilla (on a USB stick). What I have tried to is to make a separate partition to install this on, copied all the files on the USB -key to that partition, and then make a new entry in GRUB via yast. Then I point to the new wmlinus and initramfs. I would have been much surprised if something link this was working after first shot. But it was also not working after the 80. shot.

General :: What Does Kernel Entry In Grub Configuration File Mean

Jun 17, 2011

I have looked at the GNU GRUB Manual 1.99 at [URL] but I cannot find an explanation of what the kernel entry / command in the grub.conf file means. I get what's the meaning of that entry but where is described what it actually is and what are proper.

I suppose this entry / command was actual in GRUB Legacy, but I cannot find where it is described...

I successfully installed Fedora 11 from the DVD iso. At the end, the installation program prompts me to reboot the system. But when the boot loader appears after rebooting, there are only the old entries.

I have 2 IDE disks and one sata disk. The first IDE disk is hd0, the second IDE is hd1. The SATA disk is hd2. In the setup, I selected hd0 to install grub. Fedora 11 was installed on the SATA disk (hd2).[edit] I forgot to say, that Fedora 10 is on /dev/sda and Fedora 9 on /dev/sdb
