Mythbuntu 12.04 - I attempted to move one data drive to a different sata port, now the system doesn't boot (all drives are back to the original sata ports).
I ran boot-repair (using 12.04 live CD, ran the recommended repair) No change, the system doesn't boot.
I can boot the system off a rescue CD, choosing to boot off the correct boot drive.
Just a short Tutorial today. It’s surprising how many people do not know this. To change the hostname under Linux, open a terminal window. Type the following code.
sudo nano /etc/hosts
and change the text to your new hostname. Changes will take effect on Restart.
boot loaders like GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader), LILO (Linux Loader), so you can choose to start a particular operating system in multiboot systems, or dual boot. After selecting the operating system (eg Linux), the startup process begins first with the program starting Linux Kernel. A program of the Linux kernel is the core of a computer operating system.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that we all had to start somewhere with Linux. When you're not used to the way it works, or the kind of concepts involved, Linux can seem like a foreign language.

If you too have spent far too much time away from your computer and thus have missed out on the great stuff we've put online in the last few weeks, this is your chance to catch up: here's our pick of unmissable features from recent weeks.
In a Linux computer, partition table and superblock are two most important data structures. The superblock keeps record of the file system characteristics including its size, empty and filled block, location and size of Inode tables, block size and status. The partition tables stores all required information about hard drive primary partitions.
MBR (Master boot record) is the default bootloader of Windows. After you install a Linux distro alongside with Windows, MBR will be replaced by the bootloader of the Linux distro (usually Grub or Grub2). If you want to remove the Linux distro out of your computer, the first thing you need to do is to restore MBR.
To enter Root Terminal in Ubuntu, use Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. Then type ’sudo -s’ and hit return. Type in your administrator password, hit [Enter] and you’re done.
