=== doug1 is now known as dougstew [13:43] HI everyone - I'd like to invite anyone with LibreOffice - specific questions to come here: http://libreoffice.shapado.com/ [13:44] txwikinger, matjan_work sipherdee if you have a few minutes you could ask a relevant question - this would get more action there, as I am trying to show its potential to as many as I can. [13:44] already 30+ people have joined but I need more Ubuntu experts / LibreOffice advocates :) [15:27] mornin all [16:22] howdy [19:15] Is there any one on here that really understands Grub. I have some questions. [19:39] I guess the answer is no [19:48] dougstew, what's your question? [19:50] first a simple question: Using grub2 where is the list of kernels stored? [19:52] it's not really stored, but it's built by a shell script in /etc/grub.d [19:53] Ok there was one stord for grub1 wasn't there? [19:54] yes [19:56] what are you trying to do? [19:59] Now for the real question ---- when I triple boot win. ubuntu9.04 and ubuntu10.04 --- and Ubuntu 10.04 being the last one to install --- After running and updating 10.04, I now login to 9.04 [19:59] while running 9.04 it wants to update the software including [19:59] the kernels [20:00] what grub info will now be updated [20:01] the grup on the master boot record will still be looking at the 10.04 partition [20:05] johanbr: any ideas? [20:06] oh [20:07] I know that with grub1 I had it totally mixed up, I am afraid to try it again untill I am sure what it will do. [20:07] I guess you could put the grub 1 for 9.04 somewhere else and have the grub2 chainload grub1 [20:09] Are you saying that grub2 will not have a problem with two Ubuntus on two partitions? [20:10] I don't think either grub has a problem with ubuntu on two partitions [20:11] it's just that you have to tell them where the relevant grub is installed [20:11] Well my experience is otherwise [20:13] Ok I don't know what you mean by tell them [20:14] configure the two grubs to tell them where they're installed [20:15] but what was the problem you encountered? [20:15] 9.04 wouldn't update the kernel list properly? [20:15] Ok but you have only 1 MBR [20:16] yes, but you can put one grub somewhere else [20:16] and have it loaded from the "master" grub [20:17] before grub2 I had 2 versions of Ubuntu installed on 2 different partitions [20:17] and when I updated the older one [20:18] it change the list file on the second patiton [20:18] but when i went to boot again the grub showed me the list from the first partition [20:19] that did not have the kernals for the second partition [20:19] right [20:20] so I could not choose the newer kernel for the older ubuntu [20:21] you'd have to install one grub somewhere else, and fiddle with the config of the other grub to chainload the first one [20:21] That I don't know how to do [20:22] yes, it might be more trouble than it's worth [20:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=107487 says a few things about that [20:22] I will read that and thanks for your help [20:23] you're welcome [20:23] have to go, I'm afraid... good luck! [20:25] It says "so you need to manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst" but with grub2 where is the menu.lst? [22:42] o hai #ubuntu-ca!
