Re: [ubuntu-uk] Vista, XP, Lucid
Simon, Vista needs to handle XP's boot once it is installed. Booting XP directly will give you an "NTDLR" error. Your GRUB should be able to boot Linux, then boot the Windows bootloader. >From the Windows bootloader you should be able to boot XP or Vista. It seems to be a problem with the Vista bootloader...first thing to check would be that its chose the right place to boot from Not sure how you would do it though...i dont use Vista or 7 On 19 June 2010 23:32, Daniel Case wrote: > Simon, Vista needs to handle XP's boot once it is installed. > > Booting XP directly will give you an "NTDLR" error. > > Your GRUB should be able to boot Linux, then boot the Windows bootloader. > From the Windows bootloader you should be able to boot XP or Vista. > > The best place to look for a fix is within the Vista bootloader, i > believe theres a few programs that can look at that for you. > > On 19 June 2010 23:14, Simon Greenwood wrote: >> Windows is rather fussy about its boot sequence and it's going to be easier >> to choose one boot loader for all three OSes, of which Grub is probably the >> easier to set up. >> >> Simon >> >> On 19 Jun 2010 20:49, "Dave Smith" wrote: >> >> >> Trying to figure out what went wrong with an Ubuntu install. >> >> Prior to install >> >> XP on SATA0 160GB >> Storage (NTFS) on SATA1, 2x 80GB partitions (how it's been for years) >> Vista on PATA0 40GB with boot loader >> >> Then installed 80GB on SATA2 to install ubuntu.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Vista, XP, Lucid
Windows is rather fussy about its boot sequence and it's going to be easier to choose one boot loader for all three OSes, of which Grub is probably the easier to set up.

[ubuntu-uk] Vista, XP, Lucid
Trying to figure out what went wrong with an Ubuntu install. Prior to install XP on SATA0 160GB Storage (NTFS) on SATA1, 2x 80GB partitions (how it's been for years) Vista on PATA0 40GB with boot loader Then installed 80GB on SATA2 to install ubuntu. Did install, installed GRUB to this new HD and GRUB points to Ubuntu and Vista. When I choose Vista to pass on to that boot-loader, I can launch Vista but not launch "an earlier version of Windows" ie XP, it just restarts. If I interrupt the boot sequence and point it directly at Vista, I can boot "an earlier version of windows" XP. How can fix it so I go GRUB --> Vista Boot Loader --> XP??

The scenario is that everyone is looking at world cup stuff, and little is being done. Anyway, we want to to be able to let certain websites be accessible, so I made a whitelist, saved it to /etc/squid/whitelist and I have set it to be allowed in the ACL menu. (I am using webmin to control the configuration), I then made a user "mviron", for the staff and a user madmin for the admins. I have set their passwords and such in the authentication files. I then added that authentication requirement to the squid config file. I allowed our IP ranges access to the internet (10.10.8.0/24) and set the web browser proxy address to the squid box (proxy1). When I tried to load a page, it said access denied and said it was set in the ACL. This is the same for any machine on the network, including the local ubuntu 10.04 squid machine. We basically want the users that login as mviron to only be able to access the whitelist, and users who login as madmin can access the whole of the internet. I'm going to put up a pastebin of the config file: http://pastebin.com/6Dc99Ty1 I would really appreciate if I could get some input on this, I would not be posting here if I wasn't completely stumped, I have read loads of guides and just can not get my head around it. >>> >>> My squid-fu is very rusty but to me it would be more logical if the >>> http_access lines that define the options for the acl started with the >>> deny_all line like this: >>> http_access deny all >>> http_access allow ncsa_mviron_users whitelist >>> http_access allow ncsa_madmin_users >>> So that you assert that you are denying access to all, then allowing a >>> whitelist to mviron_users and then all to madmin_users. >>> s/ >>> -- >>> Save BBC 6 Music http://www.love6music.com >>> My CV: http://bit.ly/sfgreenwood_cv >>> Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonfgreenwood >>> Twitter: @sfgreenwood >>> >>> -- >>> ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com >>> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk >>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ >>> >>> >> >> Haha, it's not just that it's the world cup, the internet is being >> hammered, and we need to maintain a suitable call quality, we are >> getting the line updated, but the proxy cache should improve it when >> pages aren't filtered. >> > Rather than doing this in Squid, install SquidGuard and/or Dansguardian. > These are designed as filters and are much better at applying > restrictions than Squid itself. > > - -- > Ron Wellsted > r...@wellsted.org.uk http://www.wellsted.org.uk > N 52.567623, W 2.136111 Linux Counter No. 202120 > Ekiga: 645022 > > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > iEYEARECAAYFAkwbhjcACgkQ8lOfTmhjD3MhQwCeLHon2TIavzpOuLLRa6prTy4y > h6wAoIev9ipv+FU5YyBgnjk/b20jZm2B > =ERnJ > -END PGP SIGNATURE- > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ > Aha, thank you ron, it's all working like a charm now :) -- Kris Douglas, NODE Computer Systems Servers - PCs - Design - Administration T. 01200438449 M. 07728574285 Please consider the environment before you print this E-Mail. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
