Hi, I've installed Navigatrix on my HDD. I have a wvista in a aprtition and Ubuntu 12.04 in other one. Since I installed Navigatrix I can't choose my boot menu (or grub?). When de boot menu apears Navigatrix is the only option to boot, no Vista, no Ubuntu. I need some help. Thanks. |

Your GRUB needs to be reconfigured. At the terminal enter: sudo update-grub There is an OS prober that will search for other operating systems and reconfigure GRUB. When I run it it kicks back something like this: Code: Generating grub.cfg ... using custom appearance settings Found background image: splash.png Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.9-dsp Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.9-dsp Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-45-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-45-generic Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1 Found wattOS R6 (precise) on /dev/sda6 done On a reboot all of your options should be seen. However, I'm a big fan of a little application called Grub Customizer...so much so that I've attached it to the bottom of this post. With this handy little gem you can easily modify your GRUB and make it pretty and fun...as pretty and fun as a GRUB can be. Rather than hand hack your configuration file you can point'n'click a GRUB with modified menu, splash, personalised options. I've put a copy on my Navigatrix USB stick for those times that I have buggered up my system by doing something I shouldn't have...because sometimes I do. You can install it by downloading the file and executing from the terminal: sudo dpkg -i /home/$USER/Downloads/grub-customizer_2.5.7.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1l_i386.deb.doc It will appear in Menu> Preferences> Grub Customizer Attachment: Grub Customizer_001.png [ 96.18 KiB | Viewed 17576 times ] Simply make your modifications;File> Save; and File> Install to MBR Good luck.

Moe, thanks for your suggestion. IT WORKS. Now I can boot from Vista, Ubuntu and Navigatrix. Also I solved my GPS problem whith the "64 bit computer and Garmin 18X GPS" forum line. And IT WORKS. Im new on Linux sistem, I want to try it. When I found Navigatrix I really got sorprised of the power of the program and I want to try it in my boat. After my donation Im going to try whith vectorial charts. Sorry for my (soso) english. Thanks and congratulations for this job. George. |

I had the same problem..., thanks for the solution. Also, is it easy to modify grub to change the order of boot i.e to have the windows partition appear first (default) Thanks Ken |
