Bon jour, Zelda. The GRUB problem is just a label. You can leave it alone, handhack it, or use the
GRUB Customizer.
When the GRUB Customizer is installed
Code:
sudo dpgk -i ~/Downloads/grub-customizer_2.5.7.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1l_i386.deb
it makes GRUB menu modification a breeze.
Now, if you're downloading things and can't find where they are going....this could be a problem.
You mentioned pictures as problematic...try this:
Download this little picture, e.g.. You can use another if you want.
http://wadda.org/dropbag/gps3proof.pngAfter you're downloaded it, saved it, done whatever you do, open a terminal and enter
Code:
sudo updatedb
this (re)builds an index of files on your computer.
Code:
locate gps3proof
will scan the index to find the location of where your files are going.
If it returns empty handed, well, we'll take another look.
