Ubuntu :: Edit GRUB Boot Options
Jul 1, 2011I recently switched my laptop from Ubuntu 11.04 to 10.04.2, and during the process, I used GPARTED to partition the drive so that I could have both versions installed simultaneously while I transferred files and settings and such. A few days ago, I removed the 11.04 partition, formatted and added that disk space to 10.04's /home partition. However, when I boot up, GRUB still gives me the option of loading into the newer 11.04 partition with the newer kernels. How do I remove those options from the GRUB menu? I checked the Ubuntu GRUB help pages, but didn't feel confident that I could do edits without messing up the 10.04 boot settings.

Mar 19, 2010So I have the burned ubuntu CD, and I'm attempting to install it on a system that has one HDD with XP/Vista on it, and another that is completely formatted and unpartitioned. However, when I boot to the ubuntu CD, I can use the menus from the bottom, and select the language when initially prompted, but I can't select any of the menu options except for boot from first hard drive.

Feb 9, 2010to be able to copy a file, then right click my mouse and select paste as and save the file with a different file name. It will save me from making a duplicate and then renaming it, or defaulting to command line (which I live in anyways). Or how about copying some text and then just right clicking in a file manager and pasting the text as a file. It would save me the time to open an editor and pasting it and then saving it. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to grab the latest clipboard entry and redirect it to a file. Scripting the functions shouldn't be hard at all. I would think the hardest part would be to implement the right click menu function across different X environments. For example I use KDE 3.5. I don't even know how to edit the right click menu options (Google should fix that). I could setup the changes for my system, but it would only work on KDE 3.5 then. I would have to figure out how to do it for Gnome, Xfce, iceWM, Englightenment, etc. Should this be a standard feature given by the OS?

Jun 4, 2011I think the title says it all. I want a quick way to crop images whilst retaining exif data (rules out shotwell) so when I upgraded lucid to natty (via MM) I kept f-spot. However when I click the 'edit image' button in eye of gnome f-spot still opens but it has no 'edit' or 'metadata' options in the sidepane so I can't do a quick crop anymore. Why they are missing or how to put them back?

Dec 29, 2010I am digging the forum through and cannot find the answer. My problem is, the usb hard drive when plugged in get automatically mounted what is great. Unfortunately I get only read permissions, while need write too.There are no any entries in fstab, so I do not know what does handle automounting and how to edit options to force mounting with write permission to user (root obviously can write). Are they hald options or any other app does this? Where to edit them? The drive is not permanently ON, just switch it when need, so it has to work every time I put it on.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Multiple Boot Options In Grub Boot Menu?
Apr 3, 2010I'm a noob but enjoying dual booting. However, every time I run update manager I get a new vmlinuz entry and now I have multiple boot options in my grub boot menu. Now when I have like 5 ubuntu entries to move past to select Windows. and the latest Ubuntu is always at the bottom so I have to annoyingly scroll down to select the latest there. I don't really understand what the vmlinuzXXX entries in the boot folder are for so I don't want to delete them. I've thought about editing the loop in the 10_linux file in the grub.d folder but it looks like its calling a function or macro or something:
Code:
linux='version_find_latest $list'
But like I said, I'm a noob to all this (a .Net developer on Windows professionally) and don't understand where this is. It looks like this function call has the logic I need to fix. Because its not finding the latest, its just finding all. How to I get back to one Ubunutu boot option like when I first installed?
Ubuntu :: Edit To Change Boot Order And Various Boot Selections?
Jan 6, 2010I upgraded from XP to Windows 7 (I need this for legacy business) and decided to install Ubuntu permanently rather than using from CD. During an Ubuntu session I was prompted to upgrade, which I did, but when I boot up now, there seems to be 2 versions of Ubuntu which I can choose from the boot up menu, plus the usual mem test, safe mode etc, plus the option to boot Windows 7.
Firstly, is there in fact more than one Ubuntu image (and therefore precious disk space taken up), how do I find out, and if so what action should I take?If there is only one Ubuntu and one Windows 7 image, how do I edit (and where is the file) to change the boot order and the various boot selections?
Ubuntu :: How To Have Less Boot Options
Apr 2, 2010I have both Ubuntu and Windows XP installed on this computer. This isn't that big of a problem, but I would like to know if there's any way to remove the other four or so boot options for Ubuntu and leave only the 'standard' boot options for Ubuntu and Windows XP. I am new to Linux so I doubt I'll be using those any time soon so I'd like to have them out of my way for the time being.

Ubuntu :: Too Many Boot Options/No Gui At Startup?
Jun 30, 2010I had bought a new wifi card(rtl8185) and spent 2 days trying to make it work. I finally got it working but now I am experiencing some other problems.
First of all I get two many bootup options. Before I used to have 4 generic options(2 different kernels with each of them having their own recovery), memtest and then my win7. Now I am having those plus 4 server options and 4 preemp(no clue what this is) options. I am suspicious that this has to do with some command I ran: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-* I got some notify at that point about broken packages. I followed the instructions given and made the messages dissapear(I don't remember excactly what I did). Then when I saw that it shows all those bootup options I tryied sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-wireless-server and sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-wireless-preemp but that didn't solve anything.
My second problem is that in startup now even if I choose the generic option it doesn't load the gui but just gives me the command prompt so I have to run startx each time. I am kind of a noobie in linux but would like to learn so please give me some guidance. I thought of reinstalling a fresh copy of Ubuntu-desktop but it's just too hard work. So I would be grateful if you could tip me on how fixing the problem as it is. I run Ubuntu 10.04 x64

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Accessing Grub Boot Options?
Feb 25, 2010Is there a way to access the list of boot options from Ubuntu? I don't want to change the options, just have someone access the information, then copy and paste it in an email so I can see what the heck is going on with their computer.
The problem is this:
User has 2 physical drives.
Drive 1 has XP
Drive 2 has another version of XP on it as well as Ubuntu.
We want the computer to have the option to boot into XP on Drive 1 and Ubuntu on Drive 2. Booting into XP on Drive 2 is an option.
We can get into Ubuntu, and XP on the 2nd Drive, but not XP on the 1st drive.
Ubuntu :: Changing Boot Options For Live CD?
Jul 1, 2010I am running Lubuntu 10 from a USB drive. Despite this, I believe this question pertains to any other variant as well. Running from the USB drive with a persistent directory, there is no boot options file that I can locate. As an example, for an installed version, the file /boot/grub/menu.lst can be changed to make boot options permanent.
Is there any way I can do something similar when booting from a USB live version? Specifically, I want to add "vga=799" to the options without typing it in at every launch.
Or is the only option for something like this actually installing to a USB drive instead of just running the live version?
Ubuntu :: Change Order Of Boot Options?
Jul 5, 2010I am using Ubuntu 10.04 x64 in a three-boot configuration; the first boot choice screen (the one I would like to change) gives the options of booting to Ubuntu, 3 options I don't understand, and booting to Windows 7. Unfortunately, at least for me, Ubuntu is at the top and is the default. [The third choice is Win XP x32 - but it appears on a separate screen]
My question: How can I make the boot to Windows 7 the default choice?

Mar 14, 2011I've recently been trying to attempt to install Ubuntu on a partition on my macbook pro OS X 10.6.6. I have attempted to create a bootable USB stick (as I currently do not have any CD's/DVD's to use). I have followed the guide on the Ubuntu installation page twice, word for word, command for command. Everything goes flawlessly, all the files are visible on the drive when I checked, and I have never received any errors in the terminal. The problem arises when I attempt to boot from the USB, it simply does not appear under the options when I attempt to boot. I have also checked the Start up Disk under system preferences.
I have attempted the installation on two different USB sticks, and the same problem on both, flawless to install to USB, but then it is somehow not booting. I have checked with the USB company and directly from the website it says that the PNY attache is capable of this. It is the 4GB model.

Jan 29, 20101. I have windows xp on my notebook compaq presario v2000.
2. Wanted to load linux as dual boot.
3. Tried with Suse linux, but there was some blank or black screen problem after installation.
4. Someone suggested Ubuntu linux.
5. Downloaded and burned ubuntu on a cd.
6. But this time during installation during partitioning there was a serious problem.
7. On ubuntu webpage they say for partiioning i will get 4 option, but i got only three options in my cd.
8. The missing option was the most important , which was required for dual boot. " Guided resize and use free space".
9. So i had to abort my Ubuntu installation as using any other option could have effected my current xp installation or might have formated my whole notebook.
10. So any comment why the dual boot partitioning option was absent in my ubuntu cd.
11. Or there is some thing to be activated in my notebook setting to enable dual boot.
Ubuntu :: Sharing Folders Between Dual-boot Options

For example, I try to keep my files organized as best I can and had been keeping pictures in my XP "My Pictures" folder, but have to do a bit of directory digging to get to that same folder from Ubuntu.

Oct 21, 2010I bought a new computer and installed ubuntu 10.04 about 2 months ago, and until yesterday it worked pretty well. Last night it acted kind of weird (slow, application would start loading and then just die) so I restarted the machine. That's when I understood that something bad happened.
When the machine starts and the os begins to load I get a bunch of text that says things like:
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory.
Same for sys and proc, there might be much more in the buffer but I can't seem to able to go up. I did not do any thing special last night and so I'm clueless of the reason for this. Also, since in this version of ubuntu the boot options are not displayed by default I tried pressing a key on boot in order to try another booting option but when I do that I just get the flickering cursor sign.
Ubuntu Installation :: Windows 7 Removed From Boot Options?
Oct 24, 2010I've had my laptop dual-boot with Ubuntu 10.03 and W7 for some time, and all has (mostly) been OK. Unfortunately, my windows installation was an upgrade from Vista, and always a bit of a pig's 4rse, so I deleted the partition and reinstalled it cleanly.
But now I no longer get a list of boot options, so I can't boot into Ubuntu.
Its partition is still there OK... I can get the dual-boot back...
