apt-get command not found

Hi
I have partitioned my computer into two operative system: opensuse 13.2 and windows 7. Usually when I boot my computer it showed me the menu in which I choose the operative system. But Yesterday I have downloaded several programs and It has setted up linux as principal and I can’t change.
To sort out this problem I’m following this web site http://www.howtogeek.com/65974/how-to-easily-change-your-dual-booting-pcs-default-os/
when I fire up my shell and type
sudo apt-get install startupmanager
the shell answers
sudo: apt-get command not found
How can I sort out this problem ?

You are completely on the wrong road to a solution for your problem. apt-get is not used by openSUSE at all.

My advice would be to make another thread where you describe your real problem (not seeing the Grub menu if I understand your vague description correctly) in more detail. People will then try tohelp you to get your Grub menu and the ability to choose between booting Windoiws and openSUSE back.

3

Note that that is Ubuntu not openSUSE. Neither apt-get or startmanager are used on openSUSE.

4

Try to remove the file /boot/grub2/grubenv. That should give you the boot menu back.

E.g.:

sudo rm /boot/grub2/grubenv

Why do you read advices on a web about Ubuntu, when you say you have
openSUSE? It will not work.

Why don’t you instead tell us what the real problem is, and let us help?

Recommend take it easy on the OP…
Obviously he didn’t realize that not all Linux is the same, what distros are and how they are different…

Sounds like he’s following a guide for setting up a Windows/Linux multi-boot.

To the OP:

  1. Partition the disk to create free, unformatted disk space. Amount can vary, but probably at least 20GB for experimentation, more the better. Various tools can be used to do this, gparted-live is a popular free downloadable bootable disk because it’s easy to use and mostly self-explanatory without heavy documentation.
  2. Insert your Install media (recommend an openSUSE DVD) boot to it and follow the instructions. You have an auto selection that will apply all most popular choices, but you can also select “advanced” to see what is being set up for you (just accept each default if you wish).

IMO,
TSU

As I read his first post above, he already has done all that and had a fully functioning multi-boot system with Grub menu. So no need to tell him how to do that.

The only thing is that he lost the multi boot functionality at least partly (Grub menu, …). And that should be repaired. Though not using a method that is designed for Ubuntu.
