[ubuntu] Grub missing 31 weeks 2 days ago

Dear brothers in Ubuntu, I ins talled Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity) in my PC in which I also have XP Evo, but in re-starting I get a black screen with a warning of GNU Grub version..., saying: "Minimal BASH-like editing line supported". If I click Tab, it then gives me a bunch of command lines. I don't know what to do. Could anyone, please, help me out so I can get Grub selection page?

I downloaded Ubuntu 12.10 to run alongside windows, and when I start the computer up, I get the "Please select operating system" screen, and I choose Ubuntu.

When I turn on my computer (Acer Aspire 3820T), as the title says, I only get a black screen unless I hold SHIFT and go through GRUB and select the topmost option in Advanced options for Ubuntu. If I select Ubuntu in GRUB I get the same black screen. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi there

I recently installed ubuntu using wubi. Everything was going fine until I edited my /etc/default/grub file by adding radeon.audio=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable because my HDMI sound wasn't working. When I unplugged the HDMI cable the screen went black and stayed like that. I then restarted my laptop and attempted to boot into ubuntu without success.

I am using dual boot windows7/Ubuntu 12 and it has been working just fine in the past.

After my last reboot when I select Ubuntu it goes to a black screen that shows:

GNU GRUB Version 2.00-7 Ubuntu 11

Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.

Hi, I would like to run Ubuntu just from the CD but that doesn't seem to work. I have a HP Computer with Windows 7 currently, I have downloaded and burned Ubuntu on a CD and rebooted. Startup loads the ubuntu GNU GRUB system, but it is different than what it was on my old computer.

Hey,

I have followed this tutorial http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=43665

When i used grub 2 i could fix the "black screen" problem after startx, with adding startx to /root/.bash_profile in combination with editing the line with "i915.modeset=1" after "text splash vga" in /boot/grub/grub.cfg

After I downgraded to grub legacy, I have the &quo
