I have installed Lynux Ubuntu alongside Windows XP. They both work corectly but Ubuntu always boots unless I make sure that I select Windows each time I start up. I have used a recommended method to change this using Ubuntu, Applications, Accessories, Terminal then typing sudo gedit/boot.grub.menu.1st. This file is not recognised by Lynux so any ideas please. This is not serious but a real nuisance when I forget to select correct boot on start-up
Thank you ChuckFikens. I did in fact use / and not . to access the file. When I posed my query the / and . got mixed due to careless typing. However Ubuntu did not access the file but sent password@password-desktop (Password is not my password of course) However i inputted my correct password but Ubuntu did not accept this command so I.m still lost.
Hi,
I installed Ubuntu alongside XP some time ago.
the trouble I had was that it filled the screen, and I had difficulty doing anything with it. I have since uninstalled it but am sorry to do so because i believe Linux should be better than windows.
any helpful advice much appreciated.
Thank again. Whatever I input I get 'command not found'. I think that I will sleep on this. I am certainly not alone in finding unexplained difficulties with Lynux but I'll try again sometime. Cheers.
I am getting command not found after I enter the appropriate information which I have checked and had checked several times to ensure that it is correct.
if you open the terminal and enter the following at what point are you getting command not found? (saying after entering appropriate information is not helpful.... obviously it's not the appropriate information otherwise it would work)
