Is there a secure disk for 12.10 64 bit? If so where can I find it?
Thanks
Re: [Boot-Repair] Very slow several minutes is how long - is it stuck?
Hi, sorry to bother you,
but I keep getting stuck in the repair-disk process. The first time I ran it, the information upload just sat there for about 20 minutes. When I retried I always seem to get a "wait for several minutes" message but nothing is happening. I just have a corsair SSD 128 GB drive (CSSD-F128GBGS-BK) so I think it should be quick.
Your message "this could take several minutes" is a bit vague. Several means less than 10 in my book, but what is normal? I need some information to show that the process is happening.
Maybe there are other threads on this.
Thanks

If you are talking about the upload to the paste site that should be fairly quick.
But I have noticed my queries in the forum are a bit slower the last day or two. Not sure if we are having an issue again. Last time it was a gate-way in England, not related to Ubuntu/Canonical . With the old forum we also had some server issues. Not sure where or how paste bin is supported?
Boot-Repair should run and make fixes without the uploads. But if issue is not resolved we need to see the Bootinfo Report.

Hi, I am having trouble dual booting win7 and ubuntu 12.04. After my PC crashed I was getting stuck at grub rescue.
Here is my pastebin link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5809254/
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

I do not know RAID, and the standard desktop installer does not correctly install to RAID as it is missing a driver.
But Boot-Repair should fix it. You may need the RAID driver to be installed first, but I thought Boot-Repair automatically did that. You do have a Ethernet connection?
I think it is this one, but again with RAID I am not sure.
# Is able to search Linux Software Raid partitions (MD Raids) if
# the "mdadm" package is installed.
sudo apt-get install lvm2
sudo apt-get install mdadm

This setting would purge (in order to enable-raid) and reinstall the grub2 of mapper/isw_cficdeggdi_raid0p5 into the MBR of mapper/isw_cficdeggdi_raid0. The boot flag would be placed on mapper/isw_cficdeggdi_raid0p2.

yes, I have an ethernet connection. lvm2 did not work running on the Livecd. I'm not sure what to do with mdadm.

Hi Gang
I've returned to Ubuntu after a long absence, and I am really loving what's changed since...oooh I guess it was 7 or 8.
Long story not-so-short, for reasons somewhat beyond my control (my impulsivenss mainly), I have a system with a viable, but unbootable 13.04 (64 bit) install on /dev/sda and a working/bootable 12.10 (32 bit) on /dev/sdb.
I installed 13 first, with no gui, then realized I needed 12.10 for a home automation project (the IDE for the kit I have runs/is supported on 12.10/32-bit, but not...well not easily at any rate on... on 13.04, and not 64bit. We can get into that if you like but it's fairly OT, involves pango, fonts, and a sea of tears, and I really have no desire to waste anyone's valuable time. Or cry more.)
I'd like to dual boot these two if at all possible.
12 has the entirety of /dev/sdb to itself. 13 has the entirety of /dev/sda to itself.
Something must have gone askew (read: I was not paying close enough attention during my install of 12, and should be very sternly lectured to). Whatever the case, I can no longer boot into my 13 install. I've spent a bit of time getting it configured as a continuous integration server for my work and would very much like to avoid the hours redoing that.
That being said, I have attempted to use boot-repair on the automatic 'just-fix-it-please" mode to no avail.
Here is the generated pastebin from boot-repair.

Before I go and just push a bunch of buttons and blow *everything* up (and ruin my long weekend...) I was hoping one of the resident luminaries could render some assistance.
TLDR: Can I repair grub with boot-repair so that I can dual boot 13/64 and 12/32?
Thanks!

Unfortunately boot repair hasn't solved my boot problem. This is the error I am getting from boot-repair. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5809438/ Any ideas?
