Help!! In 12.04.5 Ubuntu, the /boot directory was full and had a lot of duplicate files from different dates, some I thought were unnecessary headers of updates. However, one series of files was called vmlinuz-3.2.0-29-generic. I moved all the files to /obsolete_files. I rebooted after having trouble upgrading packages (I think this is a second problem with this machine). I now get the following prompt.
grub rescue>
Is there a way to access the directory system so that I can move those files back? I really only need to retrieve one or two files off the system.
Code:
grub rescue>ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0)
It doesn't under boot, or insmod. I can set prefixes. Am I doomed?
Hi all:
Yes, my first post and I am sure to make mistakes. Here goes.
Regarding suggestions for Linux Screencasts forum. I constantly struggle with dual boot with Windows. I read so many blogs that my eyes cross. Its even more confusing now with UEFI partitions. It happened today and now Windows is not booting. Screencasts sound like a windfall.
What I need to know:
1. Exactly where are the dual boot files located?
2. Where are examples of working dual boot files?
3. What tools do I need to access dual boot files when my system is not working?
4. If I use Windows tools to fix Windows boot then Fedora boot is overwritten. What do I need to watch?
5. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity.
There are my suggestions for today. Hope it generates food for thought. :-)
I have a Toshiba Laptop that had a Dual Boot of Windows 7 and Linux Mint 17 on it and both OS's worked fine. I've been wanting to use CentOS 7 as my primary OS so that I can become more familar with RPM management and proceeded to remove my Mint installation and replace it with the CENTOS 7 installation, and the install completed successfully. HOWEVER, here's my problem.....
When my laptop starts up, I don't see GRUB nor do I have any option of selecting whether to run Windows or CentOS. It automatically loads up Centos 7. When I do a 'sudo fdisk -l', I can see that SDA1 is an NTFS drive, and when I try the following 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Main\ Drive' I get an error message saying that I can't mount an NTFS drive.
Am I missing something or is there a way to access my Windows files from within Centos. I was able to do this with Mint without an issue, but unable to see any of my windows drives because I can't mount an NTFS drive.
I have no problem with keeping CENTOS as my only OS on this laptop, however, I do need to access the files from the Window's partition, and if anyone can help me to access my files, that would be totally awesome.
Thank you in advance for reading through this and for any help offered.....

Finally the error in red immediately above pops up.
I searched the net and found a site with an article dated back in 2010 that said to fix the error before rebooting or I'd probably not be able to boot to Linux.
Which I'm doing right now, I've not yet rebooted.
How should I recover from such an error before I reboot.
The site had several solutions depending upon other variables, one of which was to delete and/or re-run something. But none of the solutions seemed to fit my case.
I'm running the Zorin OS 9 Theme on top of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, an AMD PhenomII 64bit 4 core processor on an ASUS MB. The video card is also an AMD/ATI, hence the need for the fglrx drivers listed above.
I'm not sure if the overwriting of the ATI/AMD driver config files shown above are responsible for the error or not. I did nothing that I was aware of that might have caused it, except close another instance of terminal that was runnning, and a libre office writer window.
Any ideas on how to solve this before I reboot would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Hello all,
I'm having an issue booting my linux installation after installing refind. I googled the issue but nothing seems relevant to fixing it.
Refind starts up fine and I can see linux (vmlinuz...) but when I select it to boot it says
Failed to open file: install\initrd.gz
Trying to load files to higher address
Failed to open file: install\initrd.gz
It is a dual boot system with Win8. It is an encrypted installation if that makes any difference. Both systems are efi.
How might i go about fixing this? Any pointers and/or relevant threads appreciated
i have a few score of files (>50) in fasta format. these work fine in linux os
but i have to send these to a collegue who uses windows. and these files don't open properly in notepad or wordpad. executing save as to windows format does the trick
but i don't want to manually convert all of them
is ther a way i can accomplish conversion of multiple files and saving them in a format of my choosing using say terminal
Currently I'm using Windows 7 OS, in the same hardware I have RedHat ISO Image, is there any possibility to boot Linux ISO image directly from the same hardware?(not by using live CD,USB or any VM Workstation). I have 4 drives in my windows OS, I have ISO image in D: drive and E:drive I allocated for Linux, please try to help me out any one .....
Awaiting for your valuable Support........
I'm trying to figure out if find could do this. I have a folder with 1000 files. I want to delete 150 files on that folder regardless of timestamp and filename. Is there a tool, command or option on find that could do this, please let me know.
Combining mtime or ctime to find is not advisable since it will not count the files or even if there are matches, I would still need to sum up the files until I reach 150 files.
Any suggestions?
