Add Kernel Module?

[antidrugue]

Gsku command not found.

No gksu?

You're sure? gksu is part of the default install...

Then

sudo apt-get install gksu

(it will ask for your Ubuntu CD I guess).

Then try again.

If that doesn't work just try another editor...

sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

or

sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.lst

OK sudo nano works, lemme try the commands in here.

I don't see any lines like

# defoptions=

[antidrugue]

I don't see any lines like

# defoptions=

Yes, there is one.

Maybe it looks more like that:

# defoptions=quiet splash

But, whatever the exact line is, there is only one beginning with

# defoptions=

[TheBlackDahlia]

I checked, there is definitely no # defoptions. I even did the CTRL + W to search and it didn't find any defoptions.

Sorry then, I guess Ubuntu 5.10 uses an old version of Grub.

Check for line like that then:

# kopt=root=/dev/hda6 ro

[TheBlackDahlia]

OK that sounds more familiar. What should I do with that line?

OK that sounds more familiar. What should I do with that line?

1)Add "acpi=off" at the end, so it looks something like that:

# kopt=root=/dev/hda6 ro acpi=off

2)Then save the file, and exit the text editor.

3)Update grub:

sudo update-grub

4)Reboot

It should work like that.

OK cool I found it. I did what you said and am now rebooting.

I got in, and still can't get on the net.

Then try the solution posted here by "jamesr":

Essentially check if /etc/network/interfaces is ok.
