I have installed ubuntu and Centos 5 , but when i do sudo update-grub , the new centos 5 is not detected. Some days ago i did the same (i installed ubuntu , and then Centos 5) , but i had to format the hard disk because some problems i had. The thing is that in that first time update-grub worked , but now not , why? Shouldn't be detected this time too? I have to manually add the new entry to the grub no?
View 4 RepliesI've got a double boot system (Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu Maverick). Since I updated Grub2, Grub doesn't work anymore! I'd tried this (because I HAD that error). But since than, I'd a black screen (harddisk didn't anything, and Grub too...) And now, after using a couple of these commands via the Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Live CD I get a mini bash in Grub, but no entry's to one of the two systems! What's wrong, and what do I have to do? (and what did I wrong?

how do i make it so it can open /dev/sdf and ge it's disk size so my grub will update correctly?
I updated centos from 5.2 to 5.3 as recommended:
yum clean all
yum update glibc*
yum update
Update was successful (I didn't see any errors). Then I rebooted pc and found out that my web is extreamly slow. In httpd logs I found: php -> file_get_contents [URL] always dies (timeout error, but somedomain.com is fine, I can telnet it easy on 80) I was wounder if it's update problem and tried yum:
>yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
so you doesn't work too... I have no proxies, I tried to reboot pc, I tried: yum clean all
after i update my Server to 5.5 i get the following error
[root@Linux /]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=addons error was

i export the proxy but still not working,
you have an onboard soundcard that you have or may not have disabled in the BIOS, and you intend to use headphones with a USB sound card with headphone and microphone jacks (or no mic jack, it doesn't matter), but you notice that the headphones are detected. Alsamixer provides an interface to control the volume, etc etc, but still the headphones do not work..In my case, the module snd_hda_intel was being loaded for my onboard soundcard that I had disabled in the BIOS before booting the computer for the first time, and even though I tried to "activate" the USB headset in alsamixer, I still couldn't get the headset to work.
Solution as a trial: Open a terminal, and look to the code section for what you need to type.A big missing key to my puzzle is how to simply restart and/or reload a module so that it isn't necessary to unplug and plug back in the USB device. Can't I just re-discover the USB devices? (or other such hardware, such as a PCI card, or otherwise inaccessible component?)
I have an issue with wireless connectivity on my laptop. Its a HP dm3 and the intel network adapter is supported as I can scan and detect wireless access points.However, when I attempt to connect to my home network, it fails and this is probably a result of two things: The BSSID is missing and/or the DHCP client ID is missing.I am running Kubuntu 10.10 32 bit

In sda, I have 4 partitions, and I have windows 7 in one of the extended partitions [not in the primary partition].
In sdb, I have 3 partitions. 2 for storage, and 1 10GB drive for Ubuntu. Again, Ubuntu is not of a primary partition.
I had ubuntu 10.04 running on that for a long time. However, I wanted to reinstall ubuntu and use 10.10.This is what I did EXACTLY:Booted from Ubuntu install CD

I have tried the testdisk/update-grub method, but it didn't work.
I have used CentOS for a while and have never run into this issue. I searched all over and didn't see a similar issue anywhere, I did an install of CentOS as a server (no GUI) with only the base. Partition is /boot ext3, size of 100MB. The rest of the drive is partitioned as / with ext3. This is being done on a CompactFlash card of 32GB in size. The BIOS sees it as an IDE drive.
When the install completes and the system reboots, the grub stops at the grub> prompt. There is no menu for OS options. If I do the following commands:
grub>root (hd0,0)
grub>kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 root=LABEL=/
grub>initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img
grub>boot
after I updated my BIOS , my keyboard didnt work in grub , but I can use it before grub.

BACKGROUND:
My local subnet (NAT'ed by my gateway router) is 192.168.52.x. My router has been configured with a conduit (port-forward) for port 1194 (the standard OpenVPN port), which points towards my CentOS server.The CentOS server is .52.112, and the supplicant is .52.110. I have tried the lient both inside and outside my local subnet, with no difference in events or outcomes.

Update manager pops up telling me there are new updates, but clicking on the 'Install Updates' button does nothing.However, if I click on Settings, then just close the settings dialog,it then says 'Starting Update Manager' and when that finished, the 'Install Updates' will work, but I have to do this every time I restart the computer.

I just performed a KDE update from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1 on my OpenSUSE 11.3 64-bit machine and my desktop is in bad shape: the plasma stuff doesn't seem to work at all...and I don't have any panels...the default one on the bottom of the screen is gone also.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have installed Centos and after few days I used it as a web server, database server (MySQL) and have some very important for me applications installed.
Today - I have read about "yum -update" function and I (a dummy one...) tried it. After some minutes the process was finished. But unfortunatelly - my server did not boot any more.
As startup options I have:
CentOS (2.6.18-164.6.1.el5)
CentOS (2.6.18.-164.6.1.el5PAE)
CentOS (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5PAE)
CentOS (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5)
CentOS (2.6.18-128.1.14.el5)
CentOS (2.6.18-92.el5)
I'm not sure what are these options. Anyway - I have tried to choose every one and the result is aways the same : red Hat Nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
Then starts the clock [ok],
Then starts the "udev" [ok]
And then My screen goes to suspend mode, with the text "no signal".
The most important thing is to backup the data from the hard disk. Do I have any chance to repair this installation ?
