Personally I like GRUB. It's easy to configure the file if I don't like it.

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

But, if you like LILO better, then install it with the alternate install CD.



]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:53:18 +0000
But for the simple user the current bootmenu is way too complicated and its getting worse over time with the automatic updates creating more and more old kernel options.

For those simple users (and for myself) I would like to just start the latest kernel and roll back to the previous version when this fails. ]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:05:42 +0000

I'd be willing to give a concession to a "Last known good" option for failed kernel updates. Beyond that, the grub menu needs to be as simple as possible.]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:42:01 +0000 >who cares how the boot loader looks like? All I see of grub is the booting in n secs message at startup...

Good! That means you're only booting Ubuntu :)
However, when I had a dual-boot with Windows before, a menu came up with three different options for Ubuntu and one for Windows in an ugly white-on-black screen. I never used Windows so I removed it (I suppose whoever installed it on my computer didn't pay for it anyway), but there still are some people out there that haven't been enlightened ;)]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:47:09 +0000
The problem I have seen in the Linux world, is that longtime Linux users tend to have an SME (Subject Matter Expert) bias, where what makes sense to the SME should make sense to everyone else right? Unfortunately it doesn't play out that way.

If you want people to adopt Linux and you want to take away Microsoft's share than start listening to people who know nothing about Linux. This is the only way. A great example is the link below, here is an experienced IT person and someone that has experience on Unix and Linux. These are the people we need to listen to for advice on how to make Linux better.
SEB

In fact if I was in charge of any Linux community or distro project the first thing I would do is hire a retired IT guy that worked in Microsoft and tell him to install and play around on the system. Then I would listen to every complaint and those would be the areas I would focus on. Reach out to the lowest user and fix their needs, make the experience easy and enjoyable. ]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 23:03:36 +0000 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 23:07:59 +0000
Ubuntu
Windows
Other OS's
Advanced Options ->

That way the average user will be able to easily get to their OS's. If they need to boot off of an older kernel, you could go to advanced options and boot off the old kernels by date installed.

Plus making it look pretty is always nice, but not necessary. Microsoft's boot loader has always been black and white :)]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 23:11:01 +0000 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 23:55:46 +0000 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:09:43 +0000 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:12:09 +0000
Grub2 is just not enough... We need to go forward, even if that means to improve the grub.
Seriously innovation is what we need.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:13:41 +0000 It's too short for a new user, but making it longer is probably worse.
What do you think about making an *Interruptible* booting process?
So the boot loader, after 5 seconds starts the default booting (Ubuntu), and during the graphical Ubuntu booting there is always the chance to switch to a different OS, probably with a button "Switch to: Windows XP" somewhere.

I know that it can be a difficult trick to pull, but it's not impossible.

Also, I agree that Mem test and others should go to an "Advanced Options".
]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:48:06 +0000 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:56:22 +0000
1) This is hardly the most pressing issue for Ubuntu.

2) On my wife's pc, Kubuntu Gutsy. There is no boot loader screen. It goes past POST, shows a 2 second count down and then loads. No menus. And her's has been updated with new kernels right along, but she doesn't see the menu. I didn't do anything to it either, that's the default action.

Mine shows the menu. But then again I've gone and manually edited mine. The default action seems to be to only show a very simple 2 or 3 second count down and then boot. No menu at all. So how all these people are seeing the menu to begin with, I don't know.

3) Personally, I prefer the default action of just showing a simple 2 second timer and then loading. I don't want something big and fancy. I don't want a graphical boot loader, because I shouldn't see the boot loader. Unless I have multiple options (other OS's or kernels) then it shouldn't even show. Sure give the option to enter the menu, but by default it's fine how it is.

Personally, I'm against the graphical boot loader.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:16:49 +0000
Also, play nicer with Windows and have a nice GUI screen in Administration for maintaining the menu (I hate having to go vi menu.lst every time I upgrade the kernel because it clobbered the Windows entry). A good example of a boot screen might be:

1. Ubuntu
2. Windows XP
3. Advanced options

This should also be presented as a nice GUI screen. 1988 called. They want their DOS menus back.
]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:23:30 +0000 1988 called. They want their DOS menus back.


I think this pretty much sums up everyone's sentiments here.

It's true - the boot loader is ugly. We know its only a loader, but it makes quite an impression on first time users. Of course, we allow for advanced options for those who prefer the terminal, but a little GUI never hurt anyone.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:50:18 +0000 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:51:45 +0000
This goes with http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/141/ which is about including StartUp manager - a Graphical frontend for editing /boot/grub/menu.lst

Besides the ubuntu installer should ask the user which OS he/she wants to load on default - not only is the lack of such an option rude but it is also annoying!]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:59:53 +0000
Once it's installed, I need to see the menu right when it comes up.

Keep behavior as it is, and make options or geek tool to change boot loader for the experts --it's the experts who can have everything over simplified because they know what they want. It's the newbies that are hurt because they don't see what they need to make a choice from it, and the moderates who are hurt as well because they'd have to mess with settings to put it back to a sane setting like it already is.
]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 02:11:07 +0000 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 02:27:33 +0000 Do it like the BIOSes: Show some graphics, for maybe 3 or 5 seconds, with a 'Press F2 for boot options' in the lower right corner. Then you'll be taken to all sorts of options, memtest, you name it. The user doesn't press F2, and after that timeout the default kernel boots.
]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 02:34:22 +0000 Averages users are turned off by ugly nerve jangling computer gibberish.

Besides, I'm sure there will be an optional "verbose" mode to satisfy all the geeks out there. :)]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 03:20:04 +0000
For a really good example of how to do it, try the Gentoo Live CD. The boot process is the prettiest I've seen, while also being the most informative.

This is one of the many *little things* in the user experience that causes Ubuntu to die a "death of 1000 papercuts". By itself, not a big deal, but in unison with many others, a deal-breaker.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 08:22:57 +0000
Otherwise I like my current (standard) grub boot menu as it is simplistic and clean.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:36:01 +0000 1. Ubuntu has three entries, Windows only has one. This is very confusing. I had to guess which one to choose the first time I ever installed Ubuntu. A relative also asked me why I had installed three Ubuntus.
2. Right arrow is equivalent to pressing enter. Why? This only confuses users who accidentally press it when trying to select an OS.
3. Pressing up arrow on the first option doesn't loop to the last option, and pressing the down arrow on the last option doesn't loop to the first option. Windows' boot loader does this, so does Partition Magic's... but not grub. Why not? This is especially useful when one has a bunch of options.
4. Pressing enter on 'Other Operating systems' just gives you an error.
5. It's ugly. This is not as important as the top four, though, users aren't really expecting something pretty.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 12:39:29 +0000
However ubuntu should remove old kernels. I see the point of having a few hanging around in case a disasterous update goes out but you only really need the previous one for recovery purposes, not all of them. And it could be labeled (for recovery) so users aren't confused.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 13:01:02 +0000
As people get familiar with Linux, there will be lots of dual booting, and the current Ubuntu grub menu is off putting and intimidating. Even if its only on the screen for a few seconds, it needs to be warm and welcoming. ]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 13:53:22 +0000
If Ubuntu is the only OS installed, no bootloader should be visible. A pretty, or even a plain, splashscreen will do. Access to a menu should be initiated by a user intervention, such as holding a specific key down during boot.

For mulitboot environments, a GUI would be the best option. One nice big shiny button for Ubuntu, another for Windows, and an advanced options button that leads to kernels, memtests and anything else.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:38:24 +0000 Seriously, new users aren't the only people using ubuntu, and it seems odd to spend time hide (potentially useful) information from the user to make the new user, who will only be a nwebie for a few more weeks, feel more secure the first few boots.
If you want the bootloader, which you see for two seconds, to get a facelift, that's one thing. Deliberately hiding stuff as an assumption of the user's experience is quite another. ]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:57:55 +0000 For a newbie,duel booting can be extreamely stressful..I know from having to do it four times..the last time I killed the XP install by mistake. And duel booting was always stressful.
I hate to say this,but you should take a lesson from Linspire...Yes,it's true.
Linspire does not you see all that geeky snot.
Linspire tells you,in simple English what it encountered and your options..Simple English meaning something like this:

Windows.(Linspire finds Windows).
Klikit.(Linspire finds Klikit.)
Install Linspire in it's own partition? y/n
Install over entire disk? y/n.
Set up Linspire home directory partition? Y/N
Continue.

It may not be exactly like this,as it's been three years since I duel booted with Linspure,but there was none of
this "/" stuff to deal with.
It was so easy to duel boot,a 10 year old could do it.
No muss,no fuss,no stress.
So dump the complications and make it easy,make it colorful,make it friendly.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 17:07:07 +0000
I totally agree. I was at a friend's house, the other night, and he booted up his laptop with OpenSUSE on it, and I was like "what bootloader is that?"

GRUB is ugly. If there's no real NEED for it to be ugly, then it shouldn't be. Ubuntu has the chance to be a truly elegant OS. We should do what we have to to nudge it in that direction.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 20:59:39 +0000 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:37:09 +0000 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 04:42:25 +0000 It would be great if the boot loader has some graphics rather than DOS looking text.

Memtest and recovery should be hiding but should be accessible via some key or advance option.

Some Gurb option changing GUI is also required
]]> Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:57:36 +0000
It just says 'hit esc to see boot menu' and continues booting normally without even showing an ugly menu 3 secs later.

If you look at windows, don't you get a short 'hit f8 for bootmenu' option aswell? Also in plain text? (it's been a while :p)]]> Sat, 01 Mar 2008 16:49:02 +0000 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 17:25:46 +0000 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 20:14:05 +0000

-Memory test and other diagnostic tool are most definitely useful... BUT you don't need to use them very often and putting them in an "Advanced" menu sounds like a good idea to me. Older Kernel version too.

-We need a way to configure the bootloader easily and that need to be in Ubuntu by default. Asking the User which operating system he want to boot as default during the installation process sound like a good idea too.

Furthermore, being able to configure the boatloader from INSIDE the bootloader would be good IMHO. (I guess that has to do with the grub project though making it more delicate to change)

I also such though about how a lot of application handle user setting... if I start a application that isn't my default I will be asked if I want to make it default (and a don't ask me again checkbox). Another example is if I change the language to desktop environment I will get a message asking me if I want to make the setting for this session only or make if default...
We could have something similar on the bootloader.

-Concerning the design of the bootloader I guess I could (and should) be improved. Opensuse version for example looks nicer. No reason Ubuntu can't do it.

-Opensuse as a nice option when restarting the system that allow to choose which operating system to boot. Nice and user-friendly IMO.

I guess I would like to see some of those improvement IF there's relatively easy to be made.
GUI config tool for grub being in a default Ubuntu installation is the most important I think.
Design too considering Opensuse bootloader looks better, Ubuntu shouldn't have a problem doing the same.

-------
Just a personal experience note: I have installed Ubuntu on my GF laptop and she found being able to choose the OS on startup a really nice thing (she didn't know about Ubuntu or Linux before and much less of dual-booting).
No complain about the design. Of course I am sure she would like it looking nicer but I doubt it's THAT important.]]> Sun, 02 Mar 2008 11:20:31 +0000 Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:12:35 +0000
1)Have a nice background or theme by default like the one tomko222 posted, but not SO ubuntu-y. Make the logos and stuff change as you choose OSs; have preset logos for windows Vista, Xp, Me, 2000, 98, and 95, as well as have a large, silver or black X for Mac OS X. Then have the ubuntu logos. For another OS like a Linux Distro, then just have some cool picture of electricity or something lol.

I believe that some visual/theme improvements can be welcome if they keep the menu sober and intuitive. Simple example, black text on white background could be very easier to read.

1) Be simple and friendly for new/non-tech users - on the top menu only show the options EVERYONE will understand e.g

------------------------------------------------
1 Start Ubuntu
2 Start Windows
9 Go to Advanced and Recovery options menu

Press the number key of your choice
-------------------------------------------------

2) Don't break the configuration every time there's a kernel update (e.g. the default boot option)

3) Make it look a bit less harsh. Use colours - e.g. a tan background and cream text - this is probably sufficient to make it unscary.

I think the problem can be solved without having to resort to X-Windows.]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:33:42 +0000 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:55:42 +0000

Also, just my personal opinion, but comparing gfxboot to grub2, grub2 2 is better than grub, but not as nice as gfxboot.]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 00:47:22 +0000

Can you confirm its in development? Then please report it as idea in development.

This would save us time looking at this idea and focusing on other ones.]]> Mon, 04 May 2009 14:35:48 +0000
Seriously, developers are listening but they can't give a status to a idea unless there is really something more to say than "We're considering it..". ]]> Mon, 04 May 2009 20:01:03 +0000 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:48:22 +0000 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:13:51 +0000
