1. First off. You weren’t copying with any sort of root permission, so expect a “permission denied.” But a sudo before the command.

2. Second off, for whatever reason, your menu.lst is gone. You are no very thoroughly screweed unless you can find a way to get a new one rolled. There might be a backup if you’ve ever edited the menu.lst with a text editor (Which I doubt, considering you were just trying to copy something in a folder you have no write permissions on.), in which case I’d suggest the following command:

ls menu.lst~

You don’t have that you’re in big trouble.

I receive an error when trying to back up my grub:

~$ cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu-backup.lst

cp: cannot stat `/boot/grub/menu.lst’: No such file or directory

I’m running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic.

Thx in advance!

You can’t blame MAC, Windows to spoil users by GUI. They chose Mac, Windows just because of it’s GUI. So thinking that Mac,Windows are evil because they make people think differently is BS. They also have a right to choose what kind of interface they want.

I bet, just like you are thinking them of spoilt people, they might also be thinking the same about you. The user has the freedom to choose GUI and CLI. No one can command them or bad-mouth them just because anyone does not like the option they opted for

“Fight with the command line?” See, THAT’S what’s wrong with desktop operating systems today, Ubuntu included. People seem to think using a command line is some abhorrently unwieldly thing to use. And its because of operating systems like Mac OS, Windows, and Ubuntu. Before you say “Yeah they’re hard” I’ll tell you that I’ve been using command lines since I was 3. If I was able to know DOS at 3, adults should be able to handle a command line now. The average user loses out on getting the most ot of their system. And I can assure you, before GUIs came about the average user was a CLI user.

The efficiency of computer use went to crap when people fooled themselves into thinking they were more effective using their mouse than a keyboard. Sad fact is that a CLI user can out-produce a GUI user. Do you know how many CLI equivalencies I can find on Linux? Web browser, IM client, MU* client, music player, etc. Typing commands is not hard. And people like you and CEO overestimate the learning curve by far.

I was also disputing the “fact” that CEO made about people doing stuff on Ubuntu was equivalent to command line work. It sure as hell is NOT. A GUI can’t touch the usefulness of a command line at all.
