Boot to Gloria then:

In a terminal please type,

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
then enter.
Copy the entire contents and paste into your next reply.

Then type

Code: Select all

sudo nautilus
then enter, then find your Ubuntu partition and navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst. Open that file, and also copy the entire contents and paste into your next reply.

If you can do this it should not be that hard to fix your problem.

Copy this. You can leave out any entries you don't think you need but this will give the backup kernel, memtest and so on.

Code: Select all

Then paste it into Mint's menu.lst below the Windows entry. Don't forget to click save after changing.

You should have the option to boot into Ubuntu now.

Please post a screenshot of Gparted showing the Mint and Ubuntu partitions.

Edit: I missed the top of your very first post. You installed Ubuntu and Mint from Windows?

I have the same triple Operating Systems installed (Vista-Ubuntu-LinuxMint) on my PC.

When the system, is starting up and the boot options window opens (it's a green Mint window). There is a link for all 3 kinds of LinuxMint (first) and MS Windows (last) and stuck in the middle of them is a link that only says "Other OS" The other OS is Ubuntu.

See if you have the same list on booting?

ggcraggs,

I noticed after I tried to help you that you used Mint4Win/Wubi to set up your triple boot.

This is a whole different animal. I know nothing about that.

My advice is to 1st undo the changes you made to menu.lst and then start a new topic mentioning Mint4Win somewhere in the title.

That way maybe the resident Mint4Win specialist will see it.

Sorry, I wish I could help you more.
