SOLVED-and I'm the numpty-GRUB problem following upgrade
This is my first post on this forum.
I had Mint 6 dual booting with Windows Vista.
Ignoring the advice that the more reliable upgrade path was the "terminal" method, I chose the easier "graphical" method.
All seems to be working except for two things.
1/ If I want to boot into Vista (don't laugh)- I get an error message: Error 11 Unrecognized device string.
When I press any key as asked, I get what looks like GRUB but looking almost like I'm in terminal.
When I tab to Vista, it then boots as normal.
Is there any way I can lose this?
Also, I get the message unable to find /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/Hunanxml.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this. Please?

Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
Your boot problem can be caused by this
Is this really the error message?

I would rather expect the location to be /usr/share/themes/Human and it should be Human.xmlunable to find /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/Hunanxml.
Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
The theme is for gdm, so the location is correct but it's not installed.Husse wrote:Your boot problem can be caused by this

Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
OK - but it's not there by default in either Gloria or Felicia (at least I can't find itThe theme is for gdm, so the location is correct but it's not installed.
Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
Yes it was Human.xml.
My typo.
I can't find Human in the themes folder, so how do I lose the error message?

Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
you should be able to install the gnome-themes-ubuntu package, which should include human.
Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
It was another of the Gnome themes packages in Synaptic,so that error message has gone.emorrp1 wrote:you should be able to install the gnome-themes-ubuntu package, which should include human.
However, the link for the explanation of the problem with GRUB and Vista went straight over my head.
WAY too complicated.
Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
I;m still getting the "unrecognised device string" error.
Does anyone have a relatively simple solution.
I don't mind having a go in terminal, if the solution isn't too long winded.

Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
And I have received compliments for how easy to understand it isHowever, the link for the explanation of the problem with GRUB and Vista went straight over my head.
WAY too complicated.
But it is no simple matter - basically it is a problem in some cases that the "naming" of the hard disks is not consistent and so they are not found
But reading that error again (Error 11 Unrecognized device string.) leads me in another direction
Post your menu.lst
Code: Select all
cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
There may be a missing space in that file.... (or two )

Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
That can not be the entire menu.lst
Just in case do it again slightly changed
This should make the entire menu.lst appear in a file called menulisting in home if you open the terminal from the menu
To be clear - is the problem when you try to start Vista?
And clarify

Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
Now this is getting bizarre.
The problem occurs when I want to boot into Vista.
It's fine if I boot into Mint.
What happens is that I get the normal, rather whizzy looking Menu for what I want to boot into.
If I select "other operating system" i.e. Vista, I then get the "unrecognised device string" error message and it tells me to press any key.
When I do that, I then get the samr list of options as in the original bootloader screen, but in a much plainer format.

The problem occurs when I want to boot into Vista.
It's fine if I boot into Mint.
What happens is that I get the normal, rather whizzy looking Menu for what I want to boot into.
If I select "other operating system" i.e. Vista, I then get the "unrecognised device string" error message and it tells me to press any key.
When I do that, I then get the samr list of options as in the original bootloader screen, but in a much plainer format.

Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
When the pretty Mint bootloader comes up, It only says "other operating systems", but does not specify Widows Vista/ LOnghorn until I get the plain version after the error message.merlwiz79 wrote:Don't select Other operating systems: you should be selecting Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)
Re: GRUB problem following upgrade
Problem solved, and I'm a complete numpty.
The Bootloader screen only holds so many lines.
Tab down PAST the "Other Operating Systems" brings up another line saying, yes, you've guessed it, Vista/Longhorn Loader.
