Edit Grub Menu Lst Puppy Linux Download4/25/2021
Linux distros constantly evolve and change, some changes please some people and other people are appalled by the same changes (look at KDE4 if you want the ultimate example of that).Upon investigating, I found all the hd0 and sda partition entries had been incremented by 1 - weird After I fixed those, it seemed to do fine.How could that happen BTW, dont ask me to give more details - I decided to upgrade to Mint 8 (just reformatted the root partition, so all replaced) since I did not have much to lose on this more lightly modified alternate PC.
That went ok, but I am not looking forward to Grub2 issues like this. TIA, R. It is possible to downgrade back to grub legacy, and it is probably a very worth while move for about a year or so. Is just the first hit I got from google although there are many. I havent tried it because I havent been daft enough to trust grub 2 as my default boot manager yet. Intel i5 processor, 6Gb ram, Intel HD3000 graphics, Intel Audiowifi. Realtek RTL81118168B Ethernet.Lubuntu 13.10,Ubuntu12.10 (Unity), Mint16 (Cinnamon), Manjaro (Xfce). Edit Grub Menu Lst Puppy Linux Update Slipstreaming GRUBIs Mint 7 Mintupdate slipstreaming GRUB 2 into the mix (and leaving menu.lst enabled altho mangled with that little partition increment trick) I am fairly certain I was getting GRUB 0.97 GRUB 15 file missing type of error that got me to looking at menu.lst, and making a simple direct edit to that file to get it working again. This does not make any sense to me, but then I am no Mint guru, just a satisfied user (although it took me a while to trust Mint again after a Mint 4 update really hosed my wifes PC, and I had to revert to Mint 3 long enough to make it usable again before jumping over to another distro for a while - Mint 7 had me thinking they had become reliable.). Well, I have very little interest in what happens with grub 2 at the moment, so I may be well wide of the mark here, but I think this may be something to do with a file called grub-common which seems to contain files for both grub 1 and grub 2. The reason I think this is because on my Sidux installation I have grub-common 1.98 installed and yet I run grub 1 on Sidux (it has a menu.lst not a grub.cfg). I think this is some kind of transitional package between the two, but even so it should not alter the notations in you menu.lst for you - that is a bug, and my theory is just guesswork anyway. You can easily find out what you have installed by opening the package manager and searching for grub. On your last point, it always amuses me when people say I love distro X, I have junked windows and will stick with this for ever If you have used Linux for long enough you will find that the best distro (for you) this year may well not be the best distro (for you) next year.
