Ubuntu :: Lost In The Menu.lst File

Apr 17, 2011

I'm lost in the menu.lst file. I've edited it before, but now I can't get a handle on it. I've been trying different OS's over the year, lately Lubuntu. Now it's first in line (top of the order). I'd like (until 11.04 comes out next week) Ubuntu 10.10 to be first, with a 3 second delay.

Here's what I've got:

Code:
## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
## lockold=true
# lockold=false

Ubuntu Installation :: Lost Grub Menu At Start Up?

Jan 24, 2010

Just upgraded to 9.10 on a laptop with dead Vista which I lost when I moved over to UBUNTU some time ago. Never any problems but when fiddling at boot up tonight I accidentally selected to boot up the Vista loader which went into the Vista recovery, and since then the laptop only opens up the Vista Recovery, ie it does not go to the Grub. Any ideas on how I can get to boot UBUNTU again?

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Menu Lost After Dual Booting With Natty?

May 16, 2011

i have lucid lnyx installed as my main system and added natty on a seperate drive. after installing, the new grub detected lynx & i was able to boot into each without any problem. after doing some tweaking on natty (changed run level), it didn't boot properly so i reverted to the old config via rescue disk. after rebooting, the old grub menu didn't show & it loaded lynx automatically.

i tried the suggestion from another post changed the hidden menu and updated grub but it didn't detect natty (below).

------ update-grub ------
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-31-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-31-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-30-generic

Fedora :: Logout And Cancel Are Only Options In KDE Menu / Lost Ability To Do A Shutdown Or Restart?

Dec 16, 2008

I have lost my ability in KDE Menus to do a shutdown or restart. My only option is to logoff or cancel. This started occurring about 2 weeks ago, possibly 2 KDE workspace updates ago. I have been assuming it would get fixed with an update but so far it has not.

I am running Fedora 10 x86_64, kernel = 2.6.27.7-134.fc10.x86_64, and the KDE version is:

kde-filesystem.noarch 4-20.fc10 installed
kde-settings.noarch 4.1-4.20081031svn.fc10 installed
kde-settings-kdm.noarch 4.1-4.20081031svn.fc10 installed
code....

I have 3 different systems all running the same OS and KDE versions and it is happening on all 3 systems. All systems have the "Offer Shutdown Options" selected in Session Manager. I have even turned this option off, rebooted, and then back on to try to jumpstart it but that did not work.

Additionally, I have tried deleting the contents of the /tmp directory while in single-user mode and also the .kde under my home directory. This made no difference.

Another symptom I am noticing is that any desktop widgets that I create all get moved to the upper left-hand corner of the display whenever I reboot and log back in. Any extra shortcut widgets that I add to the panel are also gone the next time I log in.

Again, these same symptoms are occurring on 3 different machines.

These symptom do not occur after a fresh install of FC 10. It is breaking during one of the yum updates but I have not narrowed it down yet as to which update is causing this to happen.

Ubuntu :: Rebooted And Lost A 850gb Truecrypt File?

Feb 9, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 with all updates, and I have a 1tb external hhd I had a 850gb true-crypt file on the external hhd, I had to reboot the computer. whenever I reboot the computer I always dismount the true-crypt drive, and when I logged back into my computer the true-crypt file on my external hhd is gone and it shows the extra free space as well,

I have not done any writing to the external hhd so I am hoping the file "should" be recoverable. I don't know any really easy and good data recovery tools for Ubutnu, It would be easier for me if their is a gui program, I can manage using the terminal.

Software :: OpenOffice File Lost After Hibernation?

Oct 13, 2010

I'd been writing on a document for 2 hours (notes during a lecture) and then my computer told me it had 10min left I saved and it went into hibernation.

Then when I turned it on OO wanted to recover the file and I hit no as I had just saved it. And then I just got a blank file on 0bytes back. What happened?

The computer turned of after a while, before I could check /tmp, so that isn't a possibility.

So is the file lost forever or is it something I can do to get it back? It's really important...

Ubuntu :: Open Office Writer - Lost File To Text Encoding?

Mar 3, 2011

I was working on a text file in open office writer last night, and this morning i tried to open it and a little thing popped up saying "ASCII Filter Options," prompting me for which character set, language and default fonts I wanted to use. (only after it asked if i wanted to recover the document, which i just did since it was asking me...) Now the document, which was very important, is a scrambled bunch of random characters! I cannot find the correct character set. Why is it prompting me for which character encoding I am using in the first place?
