At boot, I receive an error message [failed] 'failed to start apply Kernel variables'. I have not used a Systemd distro until now so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. Any help is...

Thanks, just what I was looking for.

I haven't used Ubuntu in a few years but I am impressed with 16.04. Nice and fast.

However, using a 23" Monitor, the Window Action Buttons are quite small for numb hands. I have been searching...

This is what I did as using the efi did not work (twice). My computer would not boot and rebuilding the Windows BCD did not work. I was about to give up when I found this solution. Only difference...

And that is what happened. After installing each, I had my existing Grub intact and just did a sudo update-grub to pick up the new OS. It seems the jury is split on whether that will happen with a...

That is what I thought. So as you say, if I install Grub into the root partition, my existing grub remains intact, which is what I want. On this Dell XPS, installing grub to the efi partition hosed...

I have been reading this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2240742.

I have a UEFI triple boot setup with Windows 8.1, Ubuntu and Opensuse. Rather than install Grub into the efi...

I will do that, thanks! Still working today. I never had an issue with any Linux installation like that.

I did have a similar issue with Win 7 and had to reset the TCP stack.

Bump, any ideas?

I had a strange situation yesterday. Ubuntu 12.04.4 was connected to the internet but was not working. I logged into Windows 7 and my internet worked fine. I found a boat load of information for...

I guess it hasn't been fixed yet. As you know the Gnome Tweak Tool isn't installed as Gnome Shell isn't installed. I do appreciate you getting back to me. I have been looking high and low for an...

That was the first thing I did, yet about 10 icons in the menu are missing. That is the same issue I had when using Gnome shell when it first came out.

I installed Cinnamon 2.0 and it is quite fast on Ubuntu 12.04.4. I had to install the Gnome Icons, which took care of most missing menu and taskbar icons except for a few like Clementine. This is...

I figured this issue out and it has nothing to do with where Grub is located or the BIOS. The latest round of updates screwed up my 13.04 installation. After trying every trick in the book, I...

I think my answers were not very clear to oldfred, but I did indeed change the boot sequence directly after installing lilo and booting directly into windows 7. It did not help. After booting into...

Anybody have a clue what is going? Help...:)

Well I did this and I booted directly into Windows. I then booted into my Ubuntu 13.04 disk and did the recommended repairs. The Grub menu is back but I still have the same issue outlined in my...

Good information and yes I read that site once, got dizzy and closed it. I will read it again another day. I am sure I will be able to absorb it. I hope...

I'm more confused than ever. I have never understood the 'boot flags' concept and where a boot flag should be installed (W7, Ubuntu 13.04 or 12.10). In fact, I never tried to figure it out after...

I knew I would hear about the kernel issue! :) You are right about the house cleaning.

You would know much more than I do, but from that report, it appears that Grub is installed in both sda and...

That is what I did. It is in post #1. Any advice to deal with this issue is appreciated. Thanks guys!

I am going to reply to my own thread in hopes of getting some feedback. During the installation process, should Grub be installed on the first hard drive (sda) or the second hard (sdb)? I have both...

Relatively new. I ran the boot repair in 12.10 as I am running the new version of Cinnamon. Before that, I was getting that message when booting into 12.10.

If I could get Cinnamon to work...

I have two hard drives with Windows 7 on sda and Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 on sdb. When selecting 13.04, I get a cursor that flashes, then a message with my...

I always have been able to record streaming radio using Rhythmbox, until now. There is a bug which is has been reported with 13.04. I tried Banshee. There is also a bug with that, which has been...
