Ubuntu :: Change Windows Boot Manager Timeout=0?

Dec 13, 2010

I installed last ubuntu from windows 7 using wubi and it worked great, i am writing this from ubuntu. The problem is I changed the timeout to 0 on windows 7 startup options as well default operating system to ubuntu, so now i cannot boot to windows because the windows 7 boot manager just flashes and goes directly to the grub boot manager and even if try to choose windows 7 on grub boot manager it only goes back to windows 7 boot manager and the same thing happens.

I have no DVD drive and i only have a 1Gigabyte USB PEN.

I already searched insanely on ubuntu forums, used unebooting, tried creating a windows 7 startup disk with unebooting, tried formating USB PEN with GLParted and choosing FAT32, ex3, NTSF as well with boot flag and then copying files to usb, wich didnt work. I tried to fix it with SUPER GRUB DISK didnt work too....

Is there anyway i can change this little timeout setting from windows 7 boot partition (yes i really learned something) so i can boot to windows 7? By whatever method, it can be from within ubuntu or using a 1Gb pen?

I know it can only be changed using bcdedit.exe but not even with wine it worked.

Ubuntu :: Windows 7 Boot Selector Timeout?

Jun 24, 2010

So I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Lucid. Thinking I might shorten the timeout for the bootloader (I apologize if my terminology's off), I ran bcdedit and changed the timeout to 0. Little did I know this would prevent my computer from booting into either operating system.

I've got Lucid running off a live cd now; does anyone know how I could change the timeout back from there (or any other way!) and get my laptop working again?

Software :: Two Grubs - Installed Ubuntu 10.04 - Boot Using Windows 7 Boot Manager ?

May 6, 2010

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04.

I'd like to boot using Windows 7 boot manager (I don't dare to put grub in the MBR).

I've used EasyBCD to add a new entry for Ubuntu.

[url]

Then I added Grub to /dev/sda3

And I get this:

[url]

The problem is that it always shows (hd0,0) instead of (hd0,2). I must change it every time I boot. I've tried to install grub again but I always get the same.

And another problem. After that Grub menu it deesn't load Linux but it loads a second grub menu [url] that loads Linux properly.

I guess I've installed two Grubs.

How can I remove the first Grub menu (Grub4dos) and make Windows 7 load the second (the good one)? or how can I remove the second one and change (hd0,0) to (hd0,2) in the second?

Ubuntu Installation :: Error Message: "Windows Boot Manager / Windows Failed To Start...."

Mar 30, 2011

I have a single harddisk partitioned with Ubuntu Maverick and Windows 7 installations. I installed Windows first and then Ubuntu, after resizing partitions and adding a new one for Ubuntu. Win7 did not appear in the Grub2 boot menu. I added it (sda3), but on rebooting, I get the message "BOOTMGR is missing/Press Ctrl+Alt_Del to restart".

I understand that Win7 might have put its boot manager in another partition, and sda1 had FAT. I added sda1 as another grub2 entry, but when I try that, I get the error message "Windows Boot Manager/ Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause... Status 0xc0000225/ Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible." Attached are fdisk and parted outputs; and the grub2 files I created. How do I get Windows 7 to boot up?

Ubuntu Installation :: Windows Boot Manager Won't Appear

I have downloaded and run Wubi. I had it reboot my computer. It did, but the Windows Boot Manager didn't show up; it just went straight to Windows XP like a normal reboot. How do I get it to let me choose Ubuntu instead of Windows XP?

General :: How To Change Inactivity Timeout

Mar 26, 2010

Running openSUSE 11.2 with Gnome. After a relatively short period of time, screen goes blank, and when I click on it, I get presented with password prompt, and when I enter it, I'm back where I left off. I don't see how to change this, and all the time I've spent so far in YaST trying to find out where this setting is kept and how to change it has been wasted effort. So now I'm asking: how do you change this to something a little more reasonable?

I'm taking an online SuSE LINUX class, and as they cover different topics, I jump over to the Linux system (which I have running in a vm under VMWare server on W2K3) and try stuff out, and most of the time I have to enter my password because I was away too long.

Ubuntu Installation :: No Windows Boot Manager Screen

Jun 17, 2010

I got Wubi since I have no partitioning experience, following this guide by psychocats: [url]

Everything went just like the guide said it would at first. My problem is, once I reboot, I don't get the Windows Boot Manager screen at all; more specifically this screen:

It just reboots as windows like nothing ever happened, and the other boot options are not related to either wubi or ubuntu at all.

As the sticky indicated, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling wubi several times with the same results.

Ubuntu :: Grub Boot Loader Menu - Remove Or Timeout?

Feb 28, 2011

I have been unable to locate an answer to the below.Just installed 10.10 server and noticed that during boot each time the Grub Menu pops up. I have to manually press a key on my keyboard each time to get through this menu. This is a big problem as this is going to be administered remotely. here is my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file

Code:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates[code].......

Now, It seems to me that with the settings above that menu should time out after a few seconds but it is not. I must press enter each time.how I can get this damn thing to timeout after a few seconds?

Hardware :: Cannot Boot From SATA Disk - Timeout 10

Jun 17, 2010

I have a problem to boot from a SATA disk. The filesystem image was created by our customer and copied to the SATA disk. It is SLES 10.2. When booting, "waiting for /dev/sda2 to appear" appears. The filesystem seems not to be corrupted, it can be mounted via a live CD. Here are the files I consider being useful for you.

menu.lst
Code:

initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd fstab

Code:
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3: Where To Adjust X11 Timeout Parameter Affecting Boot

Mar 13, 2011

Computer boots up fine, but drops to commandline as it tries to go to the desktop. Just logging in and issuing "startx" brings up the desktop and all is well.

The Xorg logfile gives no fatals or clues (at least to me), but the "warn" file in /var/log gives the following at the end:

Mar 13 13:25:43 xxxxxxxx kdm[2328]: X server startup timeout, terminating
Mar 13 13:25:43 xxxxxxxx kdm[2328]: X server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled

Yesterday was fine, and never had it before; no harware changes (still same ATI 4770 and ATI 11.2 driver), nor BIOS changes/updates, for ages. First boot today this started. Does it continuously.

how I might slightly increase X's timeout parameter a bit, if this is the problem?

Fedora :: Boot Failed With The Message "TFTP Open Timeout"

Sep 7, 2011

Since I upgrade our cluster from the FC14 to the FC15 I have a bad problem with the tftpd server. I have some thinstations booting over the network after the update the boot failed with the message "TFTP open timeout". I use an "ip alias" (cluster adress) for the tftp server (next-server in the dhcp), when I use the real ip I have no problem. I found some information about a "Service Guard environment" and an option to enable it:

"This option is required for some tftp clients. These clients reject the tftp reply received from a different IP address than the one requested when the server?s interface is configured with an alias IP address." I do not see an option like that in the tftpd server of the FC15.
