<0> can someone help me with grub on ubuntu. I had windows installed on a raid array as my primary boot device. I then installed a second eide drive and changed that to my primary and put ubuntu on there because i did not want it to mess with my mbr on my raid array. So now it boots linux but i cant get it to boot xp with grub. I tried multiple configurations in the grub lst file but nothing seems to work
<0> everytime i boot i want to boot windows i have to go back in my bios and put my raid array as my primary boot device
<1> NeCr0s1s: suppose you have drives c and d and you raid them
<1> my understanding of raid say sthat the boot record is on drive c
<1> you say you installed ubuntu to a part of drive d
<1> and therefore grub to a part of drive d
<1> you just need to get your boot mgr on the right drive.
<1> Of course, I could be horribly wrong about RAID.
<1> I've never wanted to dual-boot a RAID system before
<1> I hope it's a RAID-1 array
<2> IS 64 Bit ubuntu ****ty?
<2> it froze installing the first time
<2> after i installed it then it went blank screen after 3 minuted
<2> i got a 64 bit processor
<1> CircaUnit: I'm using it right now as a mailserver, so no
<1> granted as it's a mailserver I'm not using X, etc
<1> nevertheless
<2> is it any more buggy than the regular version?
<3> I'm experiencing random freezes in ubuntu
<2> hmm
<2> is there any way to get the forward and back buttons to work on my mouse in ubuntu
<1> I'll bet there are
<2> do you know a way
<1> why don't you try googling for ubuntu 5-button mouse
<2> what a great help channel
<1> CircaUnit: hey how about you do your job for me, for free
<1> until you're paying me you don't get to complain about my customer service
<1> I'm not always going to be here, I'm doing you a favor by showing you how to find things yourself
<1> you will have to add something to your xorg.conf
<1> I don't know what it is
<1> I know that it is probably on the internet, findable by searching for 5-button mouse
<1> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28374 This is the FIRST RESULT for the search term I told you to use
<2> thanks
<4> what's a forward/back button?
<1> awol: buttons on the left/right side of your mouse
<1> in windows they're default-mapped to the forward/back functions of the web browser
<4> well he needs to look at xmodmap anyway....
<1> which is okay I guess but I almost never need it with tabbed browsing
<1> that forum link explains everything
<1> next time I'm not doing the search for him >:(
<4> all i got is a standard optical scroll mouse
<5> well
<5> i did that
<5> now it wont start in graphical mode
<5> and is all messed up
<5> "failed to start the X server"
<5> can i replace the file with a backup from command line
<1> did you make a backup?
<5> yes
<1> then yes you can
<5> do you know how?
<1> how did you make the backup?
<5> well
<5> i did udo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup.mouse
<5> and i copied and pasted to my desktop
<1> then ... sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup.mouse /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<1> just copy the original back over
<5> it says no such file or directory
<1> did you possibly _move_ it to your desktop instead of copy?
<5> no
<5> right clikc
<5> copy
<5> close
<5> right click paste
<5> :/
<1> ls -l /etc/X11/xorg*
<5> no such file or directory
<5> when i hit dir i see xorg.conf
<1> uh
<1> if you are in /etc/X11 and you type dir and see xorg.conf, and you then type ls /etc/X11/xorg* and get 'no such file', then you typed one of those commands wrong
<5> ok
<5> hold on
<5> how do i cd to /ect/X11/
<1> cd /etc/X11
<5> no such file or directory
<5> when i put dir
<5> i see ect
<5> when when i put cd /ect/ i says no such filr or directory
<1> it's etc
<1> e t c
<5> oh
<5> haha
<5> ima dumb*** ><
<5> ok
<5> im in X11
<5> and i put dir
<5> and i see xorg.conf and xorg.conf~
<1> then I guess you moved and didn't copy after all
<5> ?
<1> cp /home/yourusername/Desktop/xorg.conf.backup.mouse xorg.conf
<5> how did i move it when its in the X11 folder
<5> kk
<1> you moved the backup
<1> not the original
<5> no such file or directory>
<1> ls /home/yourusername/Desktop/
<5> just xorg.conf is there
<1> >_<
<5> maybe i backed up wrong
<1> cp /home/yourusername/Desktop/xorg.conf xorg.conf
<1> or actually
<1> diff /home/yourusername/Desktop/xorg.conf xorg.conf
<1> if that doesn't return any lines you're hosed and don't have a backup, good luck
<5> it doesnt say anything
<5> so it mean
<5> s
<5> im screwed
<1> they're the same, you're hosed
<1> yes
<1> consider comparing your xorg.conf to the howto
<1> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28374 is the link again
<1> use lynx or links if you can't get to X
<5> wait
<5> i copied and pasted 2 times
<5> once on my desktop and once on my home folder
<5> when i do the cp to the desktop
<5> it says nothing
<5> when i do it to the home folder
<5> it says they are the same file
<1> sounds like you have 3 copies of the same file
<5> well
<5> how is that possible
<5> i copied them
<1> copy a b
<1> copy a c
<1> a = b = c
<5> then i went back and edited the original
<5> then saved it
<1> I thought you copied xorg.conf to "xorg.conf.backup.mouse"
<5> i put that command in the line
<5> in terminal
<5> wait
<5> i have a backup
<5> in X11/ theres xorg.conf and xorg.conf~
<5> ohhh
<5> and theres xorg.conf.backup.mouse
<5> in X11 too
<5> didnt see it
<1> well then
<1> cp xorg.conf.backu<TAB> xorg.conf
<5> "cannot create regular file xorg.conf" permission denied
<6> any1 running dns on a ubuntu server install behind a linksys router? i cant get my setup to work
<5> oh
<5> i logged into root
<5> and redid the comand
<5> returned no lines
<1> what command
<5> cp xorg.conf.backu<TAB> xorg.conf
<1> ok try to start x
<5> before it said permission denied
<1> I'm going to play simcity 4 now
