[Solved] Grub2 Update deletes menu.lst

[2013-06-24 18:07] [ALPM] warning: /boot/grub/menu.lst saved as /boot/grub/menu.lst.pacsave
[2013-06-24 18:07] [PACMAN] upgraded grub (0.97-21 -> 2.00-1)
After that I couldn't boot because menu.lst was gone. So I had to boot from a rescue disk and rename menu.lst.pacsave back to menu.lst.

There kinda already is one thread about it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=165721

[SOLVED]Unable to install grub "couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst"

Ok so I was trying to install windows after I had arch installed, used an ubuntu cd to use gparted to create a partition, tried to go to the windows installation but it would endlessly send me back to restart the installation even after succesfully writting all files...
So now I decided to not install it, went back into ubuntu/gparted, deleted the partition and rejoined the space with my main arch partition and then selected the "boot" flag to boot...
Cannot boot, grub its still on /boot/ but the MBR its obviously tempered with by windows ( which coincidentally couldn't even find itself after writing mbr to its liking....*sigh* ).
So I try to use my arch install cd to reinstall grub but i get this:
"couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst is grub installed?"
I tried to use the select packages thing to make sure the cd is mounted and mounts fine but it keeps getting me that error message. I managed to boot to my system just fine with arch root=/dev/sda1 but obviosly the kernell does not has my nvidia module which means I can't get into x which means i am using links and since my grub is not loaded i can't even get framebuffer so this is rather inconvenient.
Im sure im missing a very simple and stupid thing but im so annoyed my brain must be saying "ok im done somebody else figure it out". I still have a backup copy of my grub menu.lst I made before. Do I just delete /bood/grub/ and try again? Am I missing something on the install procedure to be able to rewrite grub? Can I just do it from the command line or with pacman? Any help appreciate it thanks.

If you can get into your arch and cli then you should just be able to reinstall grub with
install-grub /dev/sda
or reinstall grub with
pacman -S grub
if the package is messed up or missing.

[Solved] grub in minimal mode, not using my menu.lst

Hi everyone,
Installed Archlinux (using chakra livecd) on a friend's laptop, but for some reason have grub only in minimal mode... I can boot using
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
but I need to retype this at each boot...
Partition layout is :
* sda1 : Windows Vista
* sda2 : HP resue partition
* sdb1 : archlinux root ("/"). /boot is on this partition
* sdb2 : /home
My menu.lst works as expected.
I tried to run
grub-install /dev/sdb
no error appears on the output, but no effect on next reboot
I also tried this on the grub prompt :
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)
Same thing, no error reported, but no effect on reboot.
Any idea ?

D'oh !!!
I just realized that
grub-install /dev/sda
solved everything... Sorry for the noise

What command to start kernel 3.0 in /boot/grub/menu.lst? [solved]

Currently I have:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b37afb64-426a-4f68-81eb-a2b3eaa1df73 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

AIF - install bootloader not updating syslinux.cfg or menu.lst

I'm making a custom install iso with archiso+aif, aif is working fine, except the install bootloader is not updating the
/mnt/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
or
/mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst
as per installation, the mentioned files are missing kernel initrd etc., entries.
And unlike official archlinux iso/cd installer, aif+git (interactive) installer is not showing/asking to review the syslinux.cfg or grub's menu.lst file before installing the selected bootloader.
So, Please show me how to get grub and syslinux's configuration files to get properly updated by aif's install bootloader method in interactive procedure (aif -p interactive) thanks.

IWeb updating site menu incorrectly

Has anybody else had this problem?
iWeb is not updating the menu correctly when it publishes. In iWeb, the menu at the top of each page reflects the five pages I've selected to be included in the menu. In Safari, the published site duplicates the name of one of the five pages and omits one name, yet the hyperlink of the first of the duplicated names points to the correct page.
http://web.mac.com/waynie/iWeb/
I've tried re-ordering the pages, removing the affected page from the menu then re-adding, and editing each and every page in the hope that the menu would be re-built. The only thing I haven't tried is deleting and re-creating the page, which is kinda a last-resort thing.
Has anybody else had this problem? And know of a quick fix?

Thanks for your help everyone. It is now displaying correctly on all pages. Not quite sure what I did to make it work as I did a lot of playing around with it, but atleast it now works.
I don't think it was just my Safari Cache that caused the problem, as once I found the problem i checked it on a Windows computer that I had never used to visit the site, so there was no way that computer could have had a cache'd copy of the page. Also, other posts indicate the problem does exist... looks like a bug in iWeb or the scripts it generates.

The right mouse button on my 8740w has failed (clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu

My right mouse button clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu does not appear.
I think the hardware has failed.
Note the mousepd is not the issue. The right button is the problem
Left button works fine

Same deal with me except the right button has failed twice. You may find that if you push on it past the click with a bit more force it will respond. They swapped the hardware and same thing occurred.
HP should be ashamed that they would put such awful mouse hardware on its flagship product. Whoever designed it should be fired.
If HP had any customer loyalty they would offer a hardware update and offer it to those who are still under warranty.
Suffice to say I will never, ever purchase an HP workstation again.
Good luck.

Update the menu template list

I have added some of my own menu templates to the library folder, and they now appear in the drop down list. However I have removed some templates and their folders, but they still show up in the drop down list. Is there a way to clear / update the menu templates list?

If you have added your own templates and to get them to display, you will have to fallow encore naming convention.
and if you what to delete some staff out of the library you have to delete stuff in two places. I dont remember the names of the folders,but they are located inside Encores folder.

Insert/Update/Delete Non-PO Invoice Line Item via FM/BAPI?

Does anyone know of a way to insert/update/delete an Invoice Line item (Non-PO Accounting Invoice - Transaction FB60 or FV60) using a BAPI or Function Module (or set of function modules) using ABAP? I have been trying to find some code to accomplish this and am stuck on a couple of issues.
I have found PRELIMINARY_POSTING_FB01 and PP_CHANGE_DOCUMENT_ENJ but both seem to submit the details to background processes. This is an issue because it gives the user a success message after execution but later delivers the error to Workflow. This is for an interfacing program so the results should be as real time as possible.
Has anyone accomplished this via FM or BAPI and if so would you mind sharing your experiences?
Thank you very much,
Andy

SG- Thank you for the reply.
I have been playing with BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_PARK and I'm not sure if it is doing exactly what we want, but it is something that I have considered in the past. I plan on looking into BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST this morning, hopefully that will provide some more for us.
If possible I'd like to avoid BDC sessions because this program could hypothetically interface with multiple SAP systems with different configurations.
I will check into those FM's and thank you very much.

IPHONE 4 – UPDATE ISSUE – IOS 7 UPDATE DELETED ALL THE CONTACTS : PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP!

Hello Everyone,
Following are the seemingly essential details in regards to this discussion :
iPhone Model = 4
Purchase Date = 05.Jan.2011
Initial Activation Remark = I used my gmail email account to add contacts initially. But phone always failed to sync (back) with gmail after the initial setup. As in if I make any changes in the iPhone’s Contact List, it won’t automatically be saved to my gmail account. But I thought to keep a full phone back up on my MacBook Pro will be safer option as well.
Latest Full Phone Backup Date = 19.Sep.2013 [via iTunes-11 on MacBook Pro-OS X 10.8.2]
iOS 7 Update Date = 20.Sep.2013
>>>[It went "On" Automatically when I touched to read the details, and could not stop once it got initiated - Actually I wanted to wait until some reviews were out. ****.]
Problem = iOS 7 update deleted all the Contacts that were originally saved on the iPhone.
Tried & Failed = I tried to restore from the available 19.Sep.2013 backup from my MacBook Pro. It restored everything but still NO CONTACTS. If I add email [orginal gmail] account's contacts then it does not show the contacts that I saved on the phone locally; around 1100.
I am in the great trouble because my 1100+ contact list just zeroed by this new update.
[Also, my iCloud all got screwed up. I had earlier used my wife's credit card to register for iTunes, and now my account got her name all over it. There is no option to change the name on icloud.com. I will start a new discussion for this problem.] Though I am trying not to lash out on Apple (for now), but I think that it is seriously getting into my nerves.
Could anyone please help me to get my contacts back? I will be eternally grateful.
I still got the Full iPhone Backup on my MacBook Pro that I did just before the update.
Please help. Thank you!

Yes, I did.
It restored everything [incl. photos] but phone contacts.
And, after restoration the iOS was still 7.
I tried twice but still no phone contacts.
Please help me to get my phone contacts back!

iOS 7 Update Date = 20.Sep.2013 [It went "On" Automatically when I touched to read the details, and could not stop once it got initiated - Actually I wanted to wait until some reviews were out. ****.]
Problem = iOS 7 update deleted all the Contacts that were originally saved on the iPhone.
Tried & Failed = I tried to restore from the available 19.Sep.2013 backup from my MacBook Pro. It restored everything but still NO CONTACTS. If I add email [orginal gmail] account's contacts then it does not show the contacts that I saved on the phone locally; around 1100.
I am in the great trouble because my 2600+ contact list just zeroed by this new update. [Also, my iCloud all got screwed up. I had earlier used my wife's credit card to register for iTunes, and now my account got her name all over it. There is no option to change the name on icloud.com. I will start a new discussion for this problem.] Though I am trying not to lash out on Apple (for now), but I think that it is seriously getting into my nerves.
Could anyone please help me to get my contacts back? I will be eternally grateful.
I still got the Full iPhone Backup on my MacBook Pro that I did just before the update.
Please help. Thank you!

Yes, I did.
It restored everything [incl. photos] but phone contacts.
And, after restoration the iOS was still 7.
I tried twice but still no phone contacts.
Please help me to get my phone contacts back!
