Help & Support for Ultimate Edition 1.5


Nvidia drivers,extra kernel,Adept Manager,dynamic disksSOLV

Postby DaddyX3 » Wed Oct 17, 2007 11:01 am

Hello all,
I'm new to the world of linux distro's. I've chosen to use the Ultimate Edition 1.5 because of all the additional packages pre-installed with the distro, which saves much headache for the noob. I can't thank TheeMahn enough for this really cool distro and all his hard work. Thank You! I do however have a couple of Q's:
1. After installing the Nvidia drivers and having ENVY change the xorg.conf file for me, I now have two kernels in the Grub menu. If I let grub boot to its default (the new kernel) I get the "no X server found" message and have to go back and start from my old kernal (the original). The original works just fine and from what I can tell includes any driver changes made by Nvidia (Nvidia Control Manager works). How do I hide this extra kernal from the Grub menu and use the original kernel by default?
2. Any body have a clue on how to mount a "dynamic" disk created by Vista? I've had success with a basic volume and simple, but no idea about the dymamic volume! Its very important to me since it has all my media on it!?
3. Adept Manager says that I can not install any packages or make any system changes because I don't have any administrative privileges. I have only the one user and I checked permissions and says that I have permissions!?
Any Idea's? Thanx in advance:)

Welcome aboard & Thanks...

1. I suggest a read of the F.A.Q. for installing.

2. I suggest the tool NTFS Configuration to mount your volume and make it writable. Applications >> System Tools>> NTFS Configuration Tool (see screenshot)

3. Are you using sudo with Adept Manager?

im not sure if thats normal for envy to add a new kernal like that. also dont know about the no xserver error as ive never used envy. i always install my drivers (ati) the old fashioned way. however i can help you with hiding the new kernal and making the old one default.

open a terminal window.

type
Code: Select all
 sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst 


this will open your grub menu in a text editor. note: gedit is for gnome. if you are using kde i believe its kate or kedit (cant remember exactly) just replace gedit with kate or kedit if you are on kde. also be very careful when editing this file as you could make your system unbootable if you mess up. anyway you will see something similar to this

# menu.lst - See: grub(, info grub, update-grub(
# grub-install(, grub-floppy(,
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default 0


## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 10

## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
#hiddenmenu

# Pretty colours

## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing

note: the above is just an example yours will look slightly different as this is from an older version (just copied it from another web page). now for the editing (ive highlighted the parts we will be editing in red)

now scroll to where it says end default options. your kernels are listed below this line. place a # at the beginning of the title line for the kernal that you dont want to show in the boot menu.

example:

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386
root (hd1,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hdb3 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot

changed to:

#title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386
root (hd1,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hdb3 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot

now this entry is no longer shown in the grub boot menu.

do this to each kernal you want hidden. if there is a recovery corrosponding to the kernal you hid you can hide it also.

now change:

# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default 0

to:

# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default 2

note: changing it to 2 may not be the correct choice in your case as i dont know what kernals you have listed. but it starts with 0. 0 being the first entry. 1 being the second and so on.

but for example if i had

kernal 1
kernal1 recovery
kernal2
kernal2 recovery

setting default 1 would make kernal1 recovery the default. default 2 would be kernal2 and so one.

after you have made these changes id check through it just to make sure its right. then save it overwriting if promted. now reboot and it should now boot into the kernal you set as default.

if you have any probs just post back.

WOW! That was a very fast reply!:) Thank you so much!

TheeMahn - I have performed what you have suggested and still ... to no avail. I did this quite a while ago, and from what I can tell, Ubuntu does not like a "dynamic" volume. To be honest with you, I don't recall why it is a dynamic volume anyway. I was working in Vista and somehow that is what I ended up with. It works just fine in Vista, but not Ubuntu.
... That is ok if I don't get it figured out though, I will just try to shift things around little by little on to other drives that is recognizable (only prob. is that it is much larger than my other drives installed, but maybe that'll make me weed out some of the junk I don't really need/ watch/ listen too! :lol: )
ps - by the way, how do you sudo Adept Manager? I tried a few times but I know that I was taking blind shots at it within terminal. (:sudo adept ? , :sudo adept manager ? - both got me nowhere) sory for the ignorance:(

drama1981 - Thank you so much for the extensive and very detailed response! You have gone beyond the call of duty! I'm not quite sure on why ENVY has created the second kernel either, but it has done it on both of my machines. Weird. Its not the end of the world, however I do feel that it is a scary thing to happen to a noob like myself. I've invested quite a bit of time tracking down fixes for strage happenings ever since the beginning of my linux-base adventures. I do have confidence that everything will come out ok though and with great help from a community of linux users, like yourself, I have the utmost confidence. Thank you for your time and efforts. I will try this and post back here to let you know how it has turned out.

Thank you, It worked like a charm drama1981.
I asked in a earlier post, how do you run sudo for programs? For example, TheeMahn asked if I was using sudo for Adept Manager, how do I? I tried taking some wild shots at it but didn't work. If anybody could explain to me a simple way to find out how to run programs in sudo I would greatly appriciate it. (ie., typing in to terminal to find out executable file name for a specific program, how would I find out the name?) Thank you in advance!

glad to hear that :) as far as running something with the sudo command. i would use gksudo instead for gui based apps. this is because sometimes if you just use sudo it sometimes screws up permissions. gparted being one of them (used sudo once instead of gksudo for this and ended up with partitions i couldnt access). however im not sure what the command is for adept. it may not be adept. an example of this is gedit. while its the default editor i dont think its actually listed as gedit in the menu i think its text editor. but the terminal command is gedit. one solution may be to right click it in the menu and select edit or properties i believe. look at where it says command that should help. sorry i cant check it myself as im not on my linux box currently. sorry i couldnt be of much help but i thought i try to shed some light on it.

p.s. i think it might be gksudo adept_manager
