Question #76099 on firefox-3.0 in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/76099
Tom proposed the following answer: Now also in ubuntu please get to a normal command-line (Apps-Accs- Terminal) and type cd /boot/grub ls sudo cp menu.lst menu.lst.080709 ls sudo gedit menu.lst note that "sudo" will ask for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one first time but it wont ask the 2nd time because it gives you a 10minute 'window' for entering sudo commands without that bother (or is it 15minutes). Also the "ls" is a lower-case "LS" and shows a LiSt of what's in the folder. The 2nd LS should show that "cp" has created a CoPy of menu.lst and that you've given it a date stamp at the end in case we need to find it again amongst a whole lot of other backups of it :) You don't normally need to "sudo" a "cp" command but this is a system folder so it's protected against accidental overwrites :) Again with gedit, it's the same reason for using "suo" there too although this one is also going to overwrite a system file so it's even more crucial to need SuperUser priveleges. Ok at the bottom of the menu.lst file from the 1.0GiB Media should be a section looking something like this # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/sda5 title Microsoft Windows XP Professional root (hd0,4) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 Copy the whole of that and add it to the very bottom of the new menu.lst that you are editing. You can edit the "title" line as that is the part you will see in the boot menu. If your Windows section doesn't have the "savedefault" and "makeactive" lines then don't add them - it might have lines such as "map0,1" or something which are worth keeping if they are in there but leave them out if they aren't there already. Don't bother editing the Ubuntu titles though because they keep getting updated anyway. Just as you have already done for the Windows section do the same for the openSUSE sections, just copy the whole of them in but also please paste a copy of one of those sections into here so we can make sure they look about right. Then just click on save and let me know :) Good luck with this Regards from Tom :) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
