3.*sudo update-grub* in my debian ,i can't sudo *update-grub* *, Can you sudo *anything*? What is the error message? I will assume you are seeing the message: "not in the sudoers file." By default, debian does not use sudo to get admin privileges as a user, but instead changes user to be the root user, as described below. there is no command update-grub in debian (my system is debian6+grub1.99) There is, but as a normal user you are not allowed to see that it exists. $ update-grub bash: update-grub: command not found If you still can't see it as the root user, that _is_ a problem, and you should ask again. how can i do now? $ whoami johan $ su Password: <TYPING THE ROOT PASSWORD> # whoami root # update-grub Generating grub.cfg ...

Firstly, you would typically reply to the list, and not to me
personally. Please only reply to the list from now on. 2012-10-07 09:23, contro opinion skrev: root@debian:/home/tiger# grub-install -v grub-install (GRUB) 1.99 root@debian:/home/tiger# update-grub bash: update-grub: command not found root@debian:/home/tiger# how can i do now? You might try update-grub2 instead? The binary update-grub is provided by the packages grub-legacy and grub-pc in debian 6 (I assume you are using the i386 or amd64 architecture). Do you have any of them installed? One way of seeing which packages are installed is to use aptitude: The command 'aptitude search "grub ~i"' should show what grub-packages you have installed. If you ensure that the package grub-pc is installed, and you still fail to run grub-install as root, then I have no more ideas right now.

The actual work is done by the command grub-mkconfig e.g. $ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg There might be some 2's there after any of the grubs (grub2-mkconfig, /boot/grub2). Check which of the commands and directories do you have in your computer. Daniel Landau |

I assume this means that there is a problem in the initrd, and I think that is normally updated by running "update-initramfs -u -k all" (assuming that you have the relevant debian packages installed). but I feel I am talking about things I do not understang well enough here...
