Today I install a ubuntu10.04 on my new laptop. Only a few basic information should be input, and the system does all the other jobs itself.
Two points
1. the configuration file for grub on ubuntu10.04 is /boot/grub/grub.cfg , and we can edit the timeout value, the value is the time the system will wait for us to choose which operating system to boot at startup
2.10.04 starts up very slow, and I find this url and this is a useful one. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469480. The problem is because of the video card. following instruction like:
gksu /etc/default/grub
and add the line in BOLD.
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1680x1050 Save the file and run
Code:
sudo update-grub
The resolution chosen should be your monitors native resolution.
the problem of slow startup is solved!
