I've been using Ubuntu 9.10 for a while now, and i've started to look at other distros of linux. I found PClinuxOS which seemed decent and decided to install it alongside my Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows Vista. The bootloader that came with PClinuxOS recognised my Vista OS, but not my Ubuntu.long story short, i recovered Ubuntu's GRUB becasue i had already edited it to my liking. GRUB found the PClinuxOS partition and added it to the menu. Vista and Ubuntu start fine, but when i try to select the PClinuxOS option, i get this message-type-thing:
[linux-bzImage, setup=0x3a00, size=0x1f9110]vga=788 is deprecated. useset gfxpayload=800x600x16, 800x600 before linux command insteaderror: no such partitionI don't really know, but it almost sounds like GRUB is trying to find the linux kernel, but it cannot connect to the partition for some reason. I have been extremely pleased with Ubuntu, so I really don't need another distro, but I'd like to know how to fix this
I recently installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix (10.04) on my brother's Acer Aspire One (751h) netbook, set up to dual boot with XP Professional. The initial install was successful, with both OS's booting correctly. However, after a series of updates and module builds (this machine has the Poulsbo chipset, still somewhat of a mess), Grub2 is now unable to boot XP, displaying the error "Operating system not found."
To be clear, grub works properly (aside from not booting XP), so the MBR is intact, although I've rerun grub-install to be safe. Restoring the windows MBR (using testdisk) boots XP happily, but of course ignores the ubuntu installation. I also had testdisk rebuild the NTFS boot sector, to no change - grub still doesn't work, the windows MBR does. Using the grub console, I can "root (hd0,1)" and see files on the XP partition, but "chainloader +1; boot" again fails with the same error. The ubuntu install can likewise mount the NTFS partition with no problems.
Given the fact that switching the MBR fixes the issue, I'm suspecting a Grub2 configuration problem. However, the simplicity of "root (hd0,1); chainloader +1; boot" leaves me stumped as to what that could be. Also, the error text "Operating system not found" is suspiciously identical to my BIOS's error message when attempting to boot from a non-bootable medium (as I found out while attempting to make a bootable usb stick with my mac).
I just reinstalled Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and an old problem has come back. For some reason I couldn't fix it even in my previous installation. The problem is the top gnome panel. See the photo below: As you can see, the network icon is not shown properly while the Me menu is being shown twice. I can't even restart or log out or shut down at this situation without pressing the keystroke to turn the power off.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded grub -> grub2 on my karmic box. Grub2 worked when chainloaded from legacy grub, and also the first time I tried it standalone. Both times the grub2 menu came up.
I ran vbeinfo at a grub2 command prompt, and found my monitor's native res listed - 1280x1024. I added that to my /etc/defaults/grub and then ran update-grub, and rebooted. This time no menu appeared and the default entry booted straight away. I suspected that the resolution was not supported for some reason or that the way I entered it in the config file was wrong, so I commented it out again in /etc/default/grub, and ran update-grub again - to no avail.
I have since tried lots of different formats for the GRUB_GFXMODE, such as 1280x1024@24, 1280x1024x24, and the normal 640x480, but none of them give me a grub menu. I have even tried using GRUB_TERMINAL=console, to no avail. I have checked the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file each time to make sure my changes were put there correctly by update-grub. I have also made sure that timeout was set to 10, and the hidden timeout was set to 0. My GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet".
I have reinstalled grub2, grub-pc, and grub-common, and I have dpkg-reconfigured them all too. I have no idea what to do to get my grub menu showing up again.
easy way to change the menu in grub2 , was used to editing the menu.lst but it`s gone i know theres a new file called grub.cfg that is done on the fly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu dual booted on my computer, and the default is Ubuntu. I was wondering if it was possible to make it such that the default is the last booted system? As in, if I was in Windows, and restarted, then GRUB would highlight Windows.The mainmotivation is to for when the computer restarts automatically (say after an update). I may not be around during the 10 seconds before it boots into Ubuntu.

One of drives I have mapped is my Linux home directory (We have separate windows and linux accounts and home directories here).

Just wondering if there is a way to tell windows to not show anything starting with a dot. I was hoping there's a registry entry or something that defines what a 'protected operating system file' is, so I could put dot files in the same category as thumbs.db etc.

View 6 Replies View RelatedYesterday I installed on my laptop (an IBM Thinkpad T42) "virt manager" using the Synaptic Package Manager. I'm running Karmic.
As part of the installation, SPM had me reboot the computer (which is dual-booted with Windows XP, which I use less than 1% of the time). The new GRUB screen came up showing two new initial lines, the first 2 of the following 4 lines:Ubuntu,
Linux 2.6.31-19-generic-pae
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic-pae (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic (recovery mode)
When I allow the default choice of the first line to prevail, Ubuntu boots up into a condition in which the Wireless Network Connection fails to open, and in which nothing I've been able to think of makes it open.
If, instead, I scroll down to the third line (which was the initial default choice line, i.e., the default choice line prior to the "virt manager" installation), Ubuntu boots up into a condition in which the Wireless Network Connection operates as usual, viz., immediately.
Scrolling down works, but it would be better, it seems to me, to return to the condition in which the current line 3 either becomes line 1 or else becomes the default bootup choice.
I've used SPM to uninstall "virt manager", but the 2 new intial lines in the GRUB options remain. I understand that with Karmic's version of GRUB, viz., GRUB-2, it is no longer possible to change the bootup menu choices easily.
how I can either eliminate the first 2 lines in my current GRUB screen, or make line 3 the default choice?
could any one tell me about the uses of linux operating system compared to windows operating system

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do you change the default runlevel in Ubuntu 10.10? I need a solution that I can execute by editing text files; right now I'm accessing the Ubuntu filesystem by mounting it to another OS on a different hard drive.
The long and the short of it is that I'm getting a blank screen at login time. I suspect it's a driver issue (I have an Nvidia card) and it shouldn't be hard to fix... but I need a console. And no, I can't get in via Grub... my main OS is Slackware and Lilo is controlling the bootloader. So I need to be able to change the runlevel, and thus far a Google search has proved unenlightening.
Like a dummy, I played around with KDE Menu Editor without asking if there was a way to return it to it's defaults, if I screwed it up.
Is there a way to return it to its 'factory settings'?
