Hi, My upgrades to Kubuntu 9.10 didn't *all* go smoothly; my wife's Mesh (64 bit Dual-core Athlon) locked up halfway through installation, with the inevitable result of an unusable machine. I still don't know what went wrong, but I'm always ready to do a clean install, so I grabbed the 64 bit disc of the servers and within around an hour I had a very fast system.
The only problem is the boot order. On 9.04 I had set this so that Windows was the default, because this is the family games machine and mostly runs Windows games. The new system has Kubuntu as the default and I cannot work out how to change this. 9.04 had a Boot Settings tool as part of the System Settings tool. As I recall, it wasn't particularly sophisticated and simply allowed you to edit menu.lst. 9.10 has no such file because it uses grub2. I found my way to various pages on the internet including this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275. These all talk about menu.lst being replaced by /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The trouble is that I don't seem to have this file. Does anyone know what I should do? -- Terry Coles 64 bit computing with Kubuntu Linux -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2009-11-03 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
