Ubuntu :: Grub File Not Found - Try To View The Contents Says Do Not Have The Permissions

Apr 27, 2010

I already had ubuntu 32 bit version 9.10. but due to some tool compatibility reason I need even the 64 bit version 9.10. I dint want to delete 32 bit version so I wanted to install both on my system. I have windows vista as well.

So I booted with 64 bit version of Ubuntu, went on with the installation, until the point were it asks to choose the partition. 32 bit version had 16GB allocated and 10GB free. so I thought I will make new 8GB partition from the 10GB free space. So I selected the partition and clicked on change, and specified 8GB and ext4 format and mount point as "/". I clicked on continue and in a few seconds it popped up with an ERROR message, which I can't remember exactly, but it meant to say that it could not make the changes as the disk to which the changes were made is in use. So I should not use it until I reboot. So I rebooted and now I have grub error : file not found and grub rescue> prompt.

I tried to boot with the 64 bit CD again with the option of trying ubuntu without making any changes and it does show the 16 GB partition, but when I mount that partition I do not see any folders in the partition except for a folder named "lost+found". I try to view the contents of this and it says I do not have the permissions.

Ubuntu :: No Permissions Necessary To View Contents Of My Folder

Jan 6, 2010

In trying to install an update, I deleted all the programs from my Ubuntu 9.10. Now I can not get my pictures, documents and music from the computer. I tried booting from a Ubuntu Live CD but when I get to the folder of my documents it says "you do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "My_Folder"". I tired the nautilus command but that only lets me view the files and not copy them.

General :: Mount USB - "do Not Have Permissions Necessary To View The Contents Of Usbflash"

Jan 19, 2011

I made USB live and successfully mounted usb. Commands I used are shown below:

sudo fdisk -l
in response to the first command: sdb1 250GB(this is the target)
sudo mkdir /mnt/usbflash
sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbflash

All done without any problems. However, when I tried to open file /mnt/usbflash, a dialogue jumps out says "do not have permissions neccessary to view the contents of usbflash". I googled it and found out someone solved this with Alt+F2 and type in 'gksu nautilus'. I tried, and it worked!!! However! Not single file of my 200GB files were shown there! How could it be?? I used comman "ls /mnt/usbflash" to check, and it shows correctly the files inside.

General :: Way To View The Contents Of A Berkeley DB File?

Jul 1, 2011

As the topic title states, I would like to know the preferred way of viewing the contents of a Berkeley DB file. The machine the file is on is running SuSE 9.3, with perl 5.8.6 and php 5.2.0 installed. (I'm not sure if stating that was necessary, but my understanding is that the more information I can provide you, the better. The purpose to this question is this: I have been requested to look into coming up with some form of Geocoding software for one of my company's clients. Specifically, I've been requested to look into trying to obtain Census tract/block information.

I discovered the Perl module Geo::Coder::US, which uses Census input (TIGERLine files) to create a Berkeley DB file, then reads said file to produce its own output. However, the output from Geo::Coder::US only provides latitude and longitude information.At the moment, my only interest is in popping the Berkeley DB file generated with the import script packaged with the Geo::Coder::US module. I'm trying to see what the contents of that DB file are, so I can determine if the information I'm after is even in there in the first place.

Ubuntu :: GRUB File Not Found - Change The Path Of The Grub Reader To Sda 5 ?

Aug 15, 2010

I gave sda1-2 for windows and sda 3-4-5 on an extended partition for my linux OS. I installed ubuntu on sda 7 (when I go into disk utilities it shows up as sda 7 idk why) alongside another ubuntu on sda 5 ( EXTENDEDPARTITION : sda 5-6-7 ) so I could remove mandriva bootloader.Since I did, I removed ubuntu (sda 7) since it wasn't necessary but after it gave me the grub file not found.Obviously yes, since GRUB was installed from sda 7 but i have another grub.conf on sda 5 and I would like to know how to change the path of the grub reader to sda 5? or must I install all over again de grub loader?

Ubuntu :: Can't View DVD Contents

Dec 8, 2010

I backed up about 19GB of my Web Server today compressed into a .tar.gz. I then split these files into 4300MB chunks (approx 4.2GB). I then used k3b to write 2 parts of the archive these to a Dual Layer DVD. The burn went fine but I cannot seem to mount said DVD. I tried the following;

Code:
matt@matt-u:/media$ sudo mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /media/cd
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Ubuntu :: How To View Contents Of Spreadsheet Download

Jun 6, 2011

I'm in an Aussie rules fantasy football competition and someone posted a zip file with relevant stats for players in the under 18 comp, as a guide for selecting possible players in next years team. Never used any of the office applications. I've attached the zip file and this is what the poster said...

In the actual spreadsheet though, there are two sheets. The first is all the raw data which you can order by position (based on me watching the games, and the line-ups listed on the AFL websites), K: H ratio, state etc. The second is a sheet which you can use to compare players.

I find that sometimes it is easier for me to make decisions about which players to pick when the stats are more obvious, so if you are the same, you can use this sheet as well. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the spreadsheet and I'll update it after each round. Fixed, I had to change the file from .zip to .xlsx

Ubuntu :: Grub Reports File Not Found

Jan 22, 2010

So I got my DOS 6.0 entry in... but Grub reports file not found. I assume grub is fine, and DOS6 was working and I haven't done anything to it. Needless to say, I'm guessing that I'm telling grub to look in the wrong place for the dos bootloader. Here's what I have in my 40_Custom file:

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry "MS-DOS 6.0" {
insmod chain
insmod vfat
search --fs-uuid --set 3c34-9666
chainloader +1
}

The "vfat" and uuid of "3c34-9666" were reported by using sudo blkid Do I need to set the root? I thought the uuid took care of that?

Software :: Good Hex Editor - Allow To View Contents Directly And Copy And Paste Stuff

Dec 17, 2010

I'm trying to view directly a partition with a damaged filesystem on it (NTFS) and so far the hex editors I tried do not do that. I tried GHex for example and it complained that /dev/sda is not a file. The partition is unmountable as NTFS however since it is damaged so I couldn't mount it first. Are there any hex editors out there that would allow me to view the contents directly and copy and paste stuff in there?

Ubuntu Installation :: File Not Found Just Before Displaying Grub

Just before the computer boots into the grub menu, I noticed a message on the prompt saying that a file was not found. I had reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 prior to this. Maybe the grub was not configured properly but I don't know how to fix or find the missing file. I also noticed that I don't have /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Following Error 15: File Not Found?

May 21, 2010

My problem now is: After booting my laptop, Ubuntu doesn't load and i'm stuck in a GRUB command prompt and not sure what to do. If i type "boot" I get "error: no loaded kernel"Here is how I got there:1. I ran 9.1 healthily until I was prompted to do an upgrade. I ran the upgrade but some packages weren't authenticated so I ran a partial upgrade. 2. I reboot but I'm faced with "Error 15: File not found". After some research and going through the forums, I thought I found the solution by following these instructions to copy the GRUB files from the Live CD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr...0from%20LiveCD)3. Once I completed this, I'm now stuck at a grub> prompt when rebooting (the error 15 has disappeared). (the screen header informs me i'm dealing with "GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu5"Any thoughts on what I might have done wrong? From my reading today, I might have installed GRUB2 (even though Grub legacy would have been appropriate?). What is the best way out?

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Error 15: File Not Found

Nov 2, 2010

Have a Dell Inspiron 4100 laptop. 1GB RAM and 1 Ghz processor. Has a working install of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 OEL uses Grub version 0.97 My OEL install works well and I do not want to make any changes to it such as upogarding GRUB to a later version etc.

I have installed Xubuntu mini and this completed without a problem.

I have a single hard drive.

I went into OEL and mounted the Xubuntu root drive so I could see the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

I copied the entries for the main xbuntu kernel etc and pasted them into my OEL grub.conf.

title Ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-22-generic
uuid d6ed555c-54a3-4639-af25-3582c60624ad
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=d6ed555c-54a3-4639-af25-3582c60624ad ro quiet splash

[Code]....

I am doing this so someone else can borrow this laptop for internet use for a few weeks and OEL is not very user friendly and also want to protect my install.

Ubuntu Installation :: File Not Found - Grub Rescue ?

Nov 30, 2010

I am reading spc456's thread with the same subject line and trying to work through the thread with suggestions by drs305.

My situation is very similar. It started with a sudden Windows boot problem (still my primary OS):

Quote:

This was only if I selected Windows from the boot menu. I thought I could cure it with the Windows-7 Repair Disk from neosmart.net. This appears to have wiped my Boot partition completely and now I can't boot anything. (I'm using the Ubuntu 10.10 live as I type this.)

I downloaded boot_info_script055.sh and here are the RESULTS but I don't know what needle to look for in that haystack.

Code:

Boot Info Summary:

Well, I see why the Windows boot didn't show up. Looks like 30-OS_prober was failing to find the Windows boot record, which makes sense if the whole blessed (ahem) boot partition has been hosed.

I tried to follow the grub-install instructions:

Code:

But since grub2 is obviously not going to find the Windows boot record, I will continue with drs305's.

Code:

No, I have not mounted /dev. Where would I do that? Against which FS?

In any case, I am now printing the article "How to restore the Ubuntu/XP/Vista/7 bootloader" to see if I can get that going.

To my dismay, I discovered that the disk supplied with my Dell machine is NOT a Windows Installation disk, so no straightforward "fixmbr" command will be possible at this time.

I'll let y'all know how I have fared with this. I am sceptical because it's not merely the master boot record that has gotten corrupted but the whole blessed (have I used that adjective already?) boot partition.

Ubuntu :: Error - File Not Found. Grub Rescue - 10.10

May 12, 2011

I have been using various versions of Ubuntu for many years. I love it and I want to stay with it. Now I need help more than ever. So basicly I've searched through forums and other sites which seem to have had the same problem I am having.

However, I've tried all the "fixes" and nothing works at all at this point.

Here is what I have tried so far: [url] and every suggestion here: [url]

When I put in "sudo fdisk -l" I get this:

So after trying the suggestions in the above links I would restart and still get: "error: file not found. Grub rescue>"

I am trying to install it from a usb to an external hd. I installed Ubuntu 8.4 on the same hd before and it worked fine however I need one of the newer versions to use the programs I need. I've been at this for hours and maybe I am just missing something simple.

General :: Booting (GRUB And LFS) File Not Found

Mar 15, 2010

I am having issues booting my LFS system on my hp nc8230 notebook running LFS SVN. Grub was built and installed per the book. My file system is almost as simple as it gets:

/dev/sda1 is swap
/dev/sda2 is my LFS partition /

The LFS live cd still uses the now deprecated drivers for HDD's thus as far as the livecd is concerned my block devices is (hd0) and /dev/hda2 for the root respectively. However the kernel to be booted runs on the newer drivers thus on boot my block device should be referenced as /dev/sda2 for the root. Grub is in fact installed on the MBR what happens is right when my system boots I get a file not found error the grub CFG is pointing to the correct block device and root partition from what can be seen by looking at the grub.

Ubuntu :: OS Uninstalled - Loading Grub (Error 15) File Not Found

Jul 11, 2010

I just (basically) completely uninstalled my OS by accident. In synaptic package manager I selected to completely remove volume control (which had been going haywire for god knows what reason) with intent to immediately reinstall. I didn't put 2 and 2 together when it said it'd remove all related files including the kernel... hal... restricted drivers... everything got uninstalled. Network manager crashed...

I decided to try my luck with restarting (what was left) of the system. Now I'm looking at a boot screen of:
loading grub...
error 15: file not found.

Did I have to just make a boot disc and reinstall the os? or can I just "put the pieces back together" as it were and reinstall with a 'sudo aptitude update' once I get network up again?
