| masai47_ | I am trying to install edubuntu as dual boot on an HP machine with windows XP and an HP recovery partition. Installation seems to work fine. On first reboot, getting into Ubuntu is easy. But after booting into windows and then shutting down upon restart it says no modul found and wont boot up at all. If I then boot into the recovery partition and then try again I can get into windows but Grubloader is gone. Not sure what is | 11:52 |
| alkisg | masai47_: your message was too long and it got truncated: | 11:52 |
| alkisg | If I then boot into the recovery partition and then try again I can get into windows but Grubloader is gone. Not sure what is | 11:53 |
| masai47_ | thanks | 11:53 |
| alkisg | To recover grub, you can follow this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD | 11:53 |
| masai47_ | I am trying to install edubuntu on a schools computer. It has XP and a HP recovery partion | 11:53 |
| alkisg | Ah the URL has changed a bit, here is the correct one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD | 11:54 |
| masai47_ | instalation seems to work, but after shutting down I get the error "no module found and the computer will not boot | 11:54 |
| masai47_ | I have reproduced this twice. If I then boot into the recovery partiton (but do nothing) it then will boot normally into windows | 11:56 |
| masai47_ | I can see fixing it, (I just reinstalled) but is this going to happen every time (is windows doing something when I boot into it?) | 12:05 |
| masai47_ | I think I installed grub on the windows partion sda1, does it make sense for me to install it elsewhere? | 12:14 |
| alkisg | masai47: you can install it to /dev/sda | 12:37 |
| alkisg | Not in /dev/sda1 | 12:37 |
| alkisg | But XP wouldn't touch your boot record in sda1 on each boot | 12:37 |
| alkisg | It's the recovery CD that's messing your boot up | 12:37 |
| masai47 | Sorry I am asking lots of questions but I cant get on internet at the school where I am triing to do this. I think Edubuntu is a great solution for them (I have an unrelated question on things I might try on Pentium 3s with 128mb RAM and no networking equipment) | 12:40 |
| masai47 | its not a recovery CD but instead a partion | 12:40 |
| alkisg | Same thing, it might be rewriting your MBR | 12:40 |
| masai47 | I will try again tomorrow to install grub to just sda | 12:41 |
| masai47 | I dont know what "no module found" means | 12:41 |
| alkisg | That error is displayed from windows or from grub? | 12:41 |
| masai47 | neither | 12:44 |
| alkisg | Pentium 3s with 128MB RAM would make good LTSP clients if you added gigabit network cards on them (<10 $) | 12:44 |
| masai47 | on starting up | 12:44 |
| alkisg | On starting up windows or linux? | 12:44 |
| masai47 | right after the bios loads | 12:44 |
| alkisg | BIOS => Boot manager => OS | 12:45 |
| alkisg | Boot manager = windows boot manager or grub | 12:45 |
| alkisg | OS = windows or linux | 12:45 |
| alkisg | The message doesn't come from BIOS, so it's either a boot manager or an OS that is showing the message | 12:45 |
| masai47 | when I turn on the computer | 12:47 |
| masai47 | dos not go to grub where I choose | 12:47 |
| masai47 | that is the first error I get | 12:47 |
| alkisg | That means that it's the boot manager | 12:47 |
| alkisg | The boot manager can't load its modules so that it can show you a menu | 12:48 |
| alkisg | It's *before* the grub menu, but it's still a boot manager problem | 12:48 |
| alkisg | So try fixing grub by following the link above | 12:48 |
