It really shouldn't be that hard. If you have problems with GRUB (such as it
not booting correctly/not installing correctly/incorrect boot options) simply
get a live CD (any distribution will do) and boot from that.
Then open a shell and mount the drive in question like so (usually /dev/sda):
I tried running boot-repair, which has always worked for me in the past with
my Aspire One. This time, it was a mistake. When I boot up the laptop, I am
presented with a GRUB shell. I looked for instructions on how to use this
shell to repair my system, and tried a few commands, but no luck.
Does Trisquel boot correctly, from the hard drive you installed it on? Did you
have to chroot into it and grub-install to get it to work? Did you install off
a USB (in my experience that always messes things up- every USB install has me
chrooting in with a live CD and setting up GRUB manually).
Do you have the sudo package installed? How bout the grub2-common package?
So I've reinstalled Belenos again (same hardware). Trying to follow my own
instructions here. Both "sudo update-grub" and "sudo update-grub2" return the
same response "command not found". I'm mystified, and feeling more than a
little frustrated. Any suggestions?
Actually I am reporting my experience. I ran:
sudo update-GRUB2
Which did not work. Which is why I said "NO CAPITALS". The correct command
is:
sudo update-grub2
OR as pointed out by Moxalt and Magic Banana:
sudo update-grub
My apologies for one again confusing GNUbies (as well as myself

(like the ones above)? Is it a browser issue?
I believe you can't edit the first post of a thread and posts that have been
answered. Or something like that, it's a feature of the forum software.
Then why strypey's insistence that update-grub2 was the 'proper' way to go
about it?
*update-grub, rather.
What does upgrade-grub do then?
'update-grub2' is a symbolic link to 'update-grub':
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/update-grub2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 juil. 8 08:09 /usr/sbin/update-grub2 ->
update-grub
Calling one command or the other leads to executing the exact same program.
No difference whatsoever.
I just tried to follow my own instructions, after reinstalling Trisquel 7
from scratch (I borked my last instance by installing too many games at once
;). Anyone following along should not the correct command for updating GRUB2
is:
sudo upgrade-grub2
NO CAPITALS!?! :)
This has gotten off topic (GRUB), so I'll reply in the general 7 feedback
thread I started:

This happens to me with trisquel 7. It doesn't accept any username and
password. Just remove the 01_PASSWORD file.
The tool you're talking about was from the Trisquel devs, and it was dropped
in Trisquel 7. You now need to enable Compiz by yourself. The script is
pretty simple, though, so you could copy it from Trisquel 6 to Trisquel 7, or
8 (whatever you upgrade to next), or just read it to understand
I've been using Trisquel 6 for a couple of years, and I just installed
Trisquel 7 on a separate partition to try it out before deciding whether to
upgrade, migrate, or stay on 6. When I rebooted after running through the
install, the new GRUB menu wouldn't boot Trisquel 6. When I selected
After I posted that info, I had a hunch. I had saved the copy of the password
file in the same grub.d folder, with -backup appended to the end of the
filename. This time, I copied it to a different folder, with backup- at the
start of the filename, and deleted the first backup. Then I
What exactly are you trying to do with GRUB?
Can you please link to a set of newbie-friendly instructions for updating
GRUB that will work reliably in Trisquel 7?
Speaking of GRUB, I find that I need to run boot-repair every time I install
Trisquel. Is there a reason why it isn't in the Trisquel repos, or even
installed by default?
Ok I see ! Thank you very much for your answer !

Hello,
I'm new to Trisquel, but not to GNU/Linux (I have basically some experiance

So I just installed trisquel on my laptop where I have my Ubuntu 12.04
installed, and surprisingly, I find isseus accessing ubuntu. It asks me for
