Installed Salix, not showing on GRUB.
Hi again Friends.
Toshiba/Celeron/multiboot I just installed Salix KDE. The install went well, afaIk... Salix does not appear on the grub, and I in fact have no way of knowing if it even exists on my machine. I have not checked anything via the console. I do not know how. All other OS's on the HDD are present on the grub, and are unaffected. I am running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS currently. Please teach me how to use my console to check my install and make that install visible, and operable. Thank you. Hare Krishna |
Run grub-update from Kubuntu. (I'm assuming it is the one that handles grub).
|
Thank you, bon. But I don't know how to do that, even...
I pretty much need to be told exactly what to enter in console, and what to look for, and what to post here. I should know some of this by now, but I can be a lazy note-taker... |
OK. Try this. Open Kubuntu and press alt+F2. It will have a dialog asking for a command. Type "konsole" It will open a terminal.
You're on the terminal. Type "sudo grub-update" and enter your password. That's it. PS. Don't type the quote marks. |
I actually did this on my own over an hour ago, and also just now. Here is the result:

Oh Sorry for the wrong command. I use LILO and have a bad memory, probably shouldn't have partied so much when I was a teenager.

Hee hee! No problem!

Also, should I start a new thread if I want help to remove "garbage" (double entries) from my grub list, or, is there a good one already running?
Anyway, that's my next task. |
Yeah, Better to start a new thread for editing Grub 2 (no simple task) I abhor grub 2 to the point that I even use Grub Legacy whenever possible and if not. Then grub4dos even.
Kernel removal may be required also. |
New thread. Install Grub legacy or LILO. Much better than the script-mess-fest.
|
OK no-thanks! I can live with a messy grub menu.
And, Im on Salix Yeaaaahhh! Thanks, everyone :-) |
