THANK YOU FOR THIS! I've been scouring the interwebz for literally months (off an on of course but still, a long time) trying to find a solution to this. Found out about caffeine recently but...

It's been about a week, any one know ... anything else?

@steeldriver , would the xinitrc file be somewhere else that I don't know about?
Anyone that knows anything it'd be awesome to hear some input..

There is a built in browser with 10.04 and up. It's w3m and admittedly it's a little trickier than the elinks or links2 but comes natively installed so.. there's that. Just scroll the the man page...

Does any one out there have any insight into the matter?

menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-45-generic' --class ubuntu --class...

when I added that one to the home folder I didn't see any other one there. Would it be located somewhere else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Actually it only worked because it removed the splash screen entirely (which I'm assuming was the point). In order for it to boot I have to go in and edit that every time. I actually like having the...

That worked ! Thanks a lot. One thing that I thought might be related to my original problem: After changing the splash and all that other stuff happening, I also noticed that during boot while my...

So I recently changed my splash screen and my X isn't loading. I can't figure out why.. A friend of mine suggested I create a file called xinit.rc with basically a forced start up for x and put it...

I couldn't find the files you mentioned but I have been having another big issue which I have been trying to work out. For some reason my x-server won't start after loading up a new boot-splash...

Anyone have some knowledge about this one?

yannbuntu, I hadn't heard of grub4dos at all prior to your responses.

oldfred, could I get some clarification on this? I understand I have to delete the grub4dos, are the locations you listed...

Thank you for the correction on the thread.

So here's a breakdown of what happened:

-Via gparted I deleted my primary ubuntu partition (10.04) as well as 2 other ubuntu partitions. The partitions were set up with pirmary ubuntu first (on...

This appears to be a common enough issue to point to the ppa being screwed up, however I followed the guide supplied by a fellow here. He offered two possible install options, one being the ppa route...

I have followed this guide, and several others like it (identical to it) and I keep getting hung up at the following step:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice
No matter what I do it comes with the...

So I've been trying to sort out my music library and I have rythmbox, audacious, and jajuk installed. Audacious will find the track info (artist, album, song number, etc) and list it in the player...

overdrank is right, i ran the

So I installed jaunty overtop an old jaunty install on an older computer just to have a basic computer for a friend of mine to use. Well it turns out there was important information that I need to...

Taking a programming class and they require the latest java utilities for our programs... I don't understand why. Thanks for the effort though. I'll just upgrade over the weekend.

Yes I did try to do that when you posted it. I enabled partner repositories and even added a repository from http://www.webupd8.org
for java/ jdk 7 and it seems to have installed properly but still...

It seems somehow the java bins have been moved or hidden or something... I'm not exactly sure what's going on with it. Any ideas?
