All you need to do is add correct entries to /boot/grub/grub.cfg. In grub2 this is dealt a bit differently. Check the files in /etc/grub.d directory. Modify the files as appropriate and then run update-grub. Onkar -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] 9.10 overwrote grub of 8.10 - and did not place it in the revised grub - how to recover
Hi yesterday i installed 9.10 (Karmic Koala) over a mutilboot os system I had already existing Ubuntu 8.10 Ubuntu Studio 8.10 Kubuntu 8.10 and Win XP The fresh installation was located in the same partition as Kubuntu. However post installation my new grb only shows up Ubuntu 9.10 Ubuntu Studio 8.10 it has missed my Ubuntu 8.10 (my main work area) and now i have no way of booting back into that. Problem is not the data but the software - had installed tonnes of software that are not available even on the repo dvd's like qgis, skype, googleearth audio and video codecs. It seems two solution occcur - 1. Try and figure out how to reinstall grub for 8.10 and then add that to the now default grub 2. Find the packages in the 8.10 / and make then into an apton cd or something and then reinstall 8.10 and then 9.10 ?? any other solution / advice would be appreciated ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Re: [ubuntu-in] Interested in hearing about ser experiences about Karmic Koala (9.10) - WOW
Hi just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, last night. To start with just one word *WOW* where do i start the eulogies from - slick, fast, clean and almost everything works - i have not found much missing and just absolutely love it. The new start up screen, the tonnes of available background options . The general air of something good under the hood. I love it already. Firefox is the latest and works well. It fixed the bug which disabled me from using the BSNL CDMA Huawei ets 2288 - which now works without a hitch the default print to file have added an SVG option (to the existing pdf and ps) Ubuntu Software centre seems nice - will take getting used to, esp if one uses synaptic Latest openoffice During the install they had a screen which was giving a running commentary The gripes 1. missing wvdial had to install from files downloaded for 9.04 - luckily they worked so i can have the internt 2. it missed my ubuntu 8.10 install and has not loaded it up in grub ?? this is a pain because i need to redo my system. However it picked up a second OS - Ubuntu studio ?? Not good this ?? 4. Missing Apps - thunderbird - inkscape audacity scribus gthumb wvdial (mentioned above) Big Gripe It did not know how to figure out a Data Card (another mail on this posted yesterday). For once i would have liked to see Ubuntu pick up my device and say here it works no need to do anything (it just friggin works) End of story - i can't wait to lay my hands on the repos to make sure everything works and have a clear 4 months before getting excited about 10.04 regards ram On 11/4/09, Gireesh Nagabhushana wrote: > I found that the hang was not only for Firefox but it was also for other > windows (Opening home directory too). > > Here is what I did to get it work in my laptop: > * While logging-in for the first time, choose GNOME's safe mode. > * Logout > * Login again but __not__ in GNOME's safe mode (normal mode).
