I have already read the related threads but unfortunately, none of the solutions works/ applies to my problem: Having Ubuntu 10.10 as bootable DVD, I am trying to upgrade from Jaunty. When I do so however, after selcting "Install Ubuntu 10.10" in the installer menu I get the "unable to find medium containing live file system" error. I already installed grub2 and set acpi=off, my DVD is on primary master and, obviously boots as well.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI cannot install Kubuntu (or Unbuntu) 10.4 on my husband's computer. I have spent 5 hours on this and cannot get anywhere. I am deeply frustrated. The iso I burned to CD is good (works on 2 other computers). His computer will not boot from USB, no matter what I do to the drive order in BIOS. After loading the blue screen with the Kubuntu logo on it (and the blue-white dots), the screen changes to black and shows the following text:
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash) (initrafs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.
He really needs to get rid of WinXP. Kubuntu is what I have on my computer (and love it!). Here is some info about his computer:

And, I did read the guide on removing entries from grub 2. The problem is, some of the kernels in the current grub menu are no longer in synaptic on this install. Currently I have WinXP, Ubuntu 8.10, and Ubuntu 9.10 installed. I want to leave 8.10 installed, but not have it available in the Grub menu. How can this be accomplished? Grub 2 seems quite obtuse compared to earlier versions where there was a simple menu file
My parent's hard disc is failing and I am trying to boot into single user mode to run fsck. If I try to enter through terminal with "sudo init 1" the screen goes black and the computer freezes. I tried to enter single user during start-up with ESC, but the machine still boots straight into a normal session. I was going to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to for the machine to display the grub menu option but I do not seem to have a menu.lst under /boot/grub. Does anyone have any ideas as to where this file might be or an alternate way to enter single user mode?

How do I find it? so far i can only run it from the terminal by simply typing "amarok" but this means that terminal needs to stay up in order to work!
I've seen the screenshots and I thought I'd give it a try. I got it off the repos and restarted my system after the installation. But I cannot find it in the Session Type menu in KDM.

I have installed ubuntu 9.10 after the windows xp os, and then my grub.cfg file only contained information about linux.. my windows os couldnot be booted..But thats fine because i now work only on linux, so I could normally boot into ubuntu..
But now i tried to install fedora 12 on that partition on which windows was installed, and i set the space of that partition as "free". And then something went wrong, and i could not install fedora.
Now wen i boot into the normal ubuntu linux from the local hard disk, this error appears on screen - "No bootable media present, enter bootable disk and press enter."
I can boot into the installed os by first booting from a live cd, and selecting the "boot from local disk" option. But i cannot boot without a live cd.
I also reinstalled grub-pc package, but no change.
I seem to have determined a few other things about my "only gets as far as a GRUB command line" problem:To recap, sda3 (GRUB hd0,2) is the main Linux partition; sda9 (GRUB hd0,8) is the boot partition.GRUB is 0.92.Installation was from an 8.04LTS live CD (at least, that's what the envelope says it is)/"/boot/grub" (i.e., "/grub" on sd9/hd0,8) contains a "menu.lst" file. I modified it (had to do a "sudo gedit" from a command line!) to (1) comment out the line that hides the boot menu, (2) change the timeout from 3 seconds to 90, and (3) add a menu line based on my succesful manual IPL of DOS.
It still boots to a GRUB command line. If I do a "configfile /grub/menu.lst," a boot menu comes up. DOS will successfully IPL, but Linux still gets a "no setup signature found," (ditto for "recovery mode"), which suggests either a bad kernel, or a kernel that's too big for the GRUB to handle.Why would it be finding its way to grub, but not finding the boot menu file?Why would the live CD come up just fine, yet the GRUB and kernel it installs fail?

I surely have it; it is the default application for opening archives, I can invoke it from the terminal but I can't just... run it from the Applications drop-down.I even tried the Application Finder with no luck using the keywords file-roller, archive, file, roller, .zip. .tar, etc. No luck.Can anyone else find it on their Applications dropdown menu? Or at least tell me that they can't find it either?I'm curious if I have some configuration glitch, or if this is a bug, or maybe there's just something in the water here.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running OpenSuSE 11.1 with the KDE interface and GnuCash 2.2.7. The GnuCash manual, version 2.0 (the latest, apparently) says:
GnuCash, as a Gnome application, also allows you to define your own menu shortcuts. To define a shortcut, first go to the "Menu and Toolbar" preference panel and select the "Editable menu accelerators" check box. Then return to GnuCash, click on the menu header and move the mouse pointer over the menu item. While the menu item is highlighted, press a key or key combination to set the shortcut. You should now see your shortcut choice next to the item in the menu. To delete a shortcut, press the Delete key while the menu item is highlighted. Be careful when setting shortcuts as Gnome does no checking on the key values pressed, and you can easily do things like set a letter of the alphabet as your shortcut.
But I can't find the Menu and Toolbar preference panel. There's a Preferences section in the Edit menu, but that has nothing I can see about shortcuts. So how do I set shortcuts, or even see a list of shortcuts that are already there?

I run Ubuntu 10.04 & recently installed the Gnome 3 shell. Everything was fine until I fooled around with some preferred settings regarding startup settings. Now I do not have anything but the desktop showing & icons I had previously placed there. I am unable to access anything else except applications that have shortcuts. I would appreciate any assistance to remedy this including how to unintall Gnome 3 if I have no other choice.
