[SOLVED] Boot into different OS one time using grub

I have a remote Arch Linux system, that I don't have physical access to too frequently. I wake this system up with WOL and then SSH in. By default, it boots into the first option on the grub menu, which is Arch. I don't want to change the default grub option, but I want to be able to change something while in Arch, reboot, have grub pick the second boot option, use the second OS (which could be any OS, not necessarily Arch), and then when I reboot again, grub would pick the default boot option.
Is this possible?

Software "One Time Use"

Maybe this has already been posted, but I didn't find it. I've got a brand new Nano, but my home computer is broken right now. Can I install the software on a different computer, then transfer it to my home computer? I'm the same user... or does "one time use" mean strictly that? I know I sound naive, but I'm so afraid to waste my installation!!

you can install it on another one of your machines

Is there a way to transfer the iTunes application to my PC using my iPhone? My PC has no means of connecting to the Internet and I do not wish to pay for Internet tethering for a one time use.

Is there a way to transfer the iTunes application to my PC using my iPhone? My PC has no means of connecting to the Internet and I do not wish to pay for Internet tethering for a one time use. I don't have the app on my computer and I simply wish to have it on there to actually be able to transfer my files.

You can transfer the app to your PC to save it, the article below will show you how:

Is it possible to import a file containing 300+ photos into PE10 at one time?

I have a file on my hard drive that I want to import into PE 10. Is it possible to import a file containing 300+ photos into PE10 at one time? I can only find a way to import photos one by one.
Is there an easy way to send these photos to Blogger?
Thanks.

File >> get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
Then navigate to your folder and press (Ctrl+A) to select all and click Open or Get Media.
If blogger has an upload window try dragging a dropping directly from the folder into your web browser.

One time use.

I very seldom use, if any, acrobat for editing, changing from pdf to word, but there comes a time when I need to edit and change words, correct misplelled words, delete words or pharses. Is there a fee for one time use instead of having to pay for the whole year? If if I do pay for the year can I get the package for 1.99/mo. that covers all of the above?

Hi serolf industries,
You can use the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI that comes with full functionality and is valid for 30 days. However, once the 30 days are over then you need to purchase Adobe Acrobat to use it further. For more information, please refer to the link mentioned below:

One Time use Promo code

Hi,
Does SAP provide a functionality for one time use promo code? Basically the customer should able to login to the web shop and use the promo code only once. If they use it for the second time, then the system should not allow it. Any suggestions are welcome.
I am not looking for the coupon code functionality.
Thanks
Ash

Thanks for your suggestion. I am trying to avoid custom solutions.
I was looking for standard SAP Marketing functionality for one time use campaign codes (promo codes). Promo codes are same as campaign ID. Target groups can be assigned to a campaign and consumers in that target group can use the promo code. However once a consumer has used a campaign code, they should not be able to use it again in another order/shopping cart.

We have two iphones, a ipad 2 and ipad mini The iphones have no difficulty discovering our air printers. the ipads cannot find printers unless they are switched off/on and then only one time use

We have two iphones, an ipad2 and ipad mini. The iphones have no difficulity discovering the air printers on our network. However the ipads cannot locate air printers. If the ipads are switched off/on they can find the printers but only for a one time use. Then they can no longer find printers. Any suggestions?

You are most welcome

Are promo codes one-time use?

I suspect I already know the answer to this, but there's nothing like having the actual facts. I've searched quite a bit and (unless I'm missing something obvious) no where can I find a statement that says "one promo code = one download."
Can I provide a single promo code to a group of people so they can all download a free copy of an iBook?

Itunes 8 only good for one time use after each installation!

When I attempt to open itunes I get a pop-up window that says "Please wait while windows configures itunes". This window has a download bar and cancel button in it. Then a second window appears that says "You must restart your system for the configuration changes made to itunes to take effect Click Yes to restart now or No if you plan to manually restart later." Ok, when I click yes my system restarts then when I attempt to click into itunes again after restart I still get the same pop-up windows. I have un-installed and re-installed itunes 3 times. It works fine right after installation. However, when I click out of itunes then try to go back in it the same pop-up windows appear! This happens everytime I re-install! I can only use itunes one time per installation??!! I don't know what to do please help!!

Thanks for this. I had this same problem and was wondering what was going on. My new issue is that itunes 8 just turns off on its own after like 30 seconds - but I wonder if it's because my work computer may not allow iTunes?

How do I read multiple channels at one time using labview with the Fluke Hydra Data Bucket 2620a using serial port?

I need to take a reading of 15 channels about once a second. I can read one value at a time using the monitor function on the read values.vi driver, but this takes forever to read all the channels.

I don't have this instrument but I took a look at the instrument driver and it appears that you can only configure one channel at a time to read from. You might want to take a look at the command set for this instrument and see if it allows for configuration of multiple channels. It could be that the instrument driver just doesn't have that built in.

Just one time use?

Can I convert a Word Document into PDF without buying the yearly package. I just want to do it one time?

Hi dianna50,
If you did decide to purchase a subscription to PDF Pack and give it a go, you are able to cancel within 30 days and get your money back. Adobe also offers a free 30-day trial to Acrobat, which not only lets you create PDF files, but edit them as well.
If you decide to give it a try and need help with anything, please let us know.
Best,
Sara

I just bought a used XP Home Edition program that has been installed before. Will I be able to install this again on my computer or is it only a one time use software? I have the Product Key and CD.

I just bought a used XP Home Edition software program that has been installed before. I have the Product Key and installation disc. Will I be able to install it on my own computer? Or, is this software (purchased retail) a one time install? Please advise.

Depends on many things.
If your system is Lion, XP can only be installed under VM. BootCamp in Lion only accepts Windows 7.
As to "one use only", if you are referring to OEM ...
A reinstall can trigger the OS to "not register" because "a major component serial number or MAC (the network MAC chip) address" has changed, according to MS databases.
But you can call MS to get the key reactivated, usually/sometimes. It is worth a try, at least, before spending money on another Windows 7 package. But this discussion should end *now* at "maybe" as it treads close to matters that forum Terms-of-Use would prefer we not discuss.

One Time Use Coupon

Hi All,
Is there a way to create a coupon on ATG 10.0.3 to be used just 1 time?
We want to create like 200 Coupons that will be unique, and we do not want those to be used more than one time.
Is this possible?
If so, Could you please help me to configure one?
Because I tried all options that I know in BCC without success.
Regards.
Obed

I read your email again,
And I do not see that option, I just see the options in the image below:

Perhaps I am missing some configuration or that is not part of ATG10.0.3
Regards,

I'm installing it on qemu. The image is archlinux-2014.11.01-dual.iso

After googling and such.
I tried to use the grub command to boot it manually but couldn't get it work.
I noticed some files are missing in /boot folder.
( Not sure, but from the look of it it seemed
there is no such file initramfs-linux.img and vmlinuz-linux for me to run initrd or linux command in grub )
So I boot back into the CD and ran "pacstrap -i base base_devel" & "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" again.
And the file is there!
And I booted into Arch!
cheers:)
