How do I clear the items in Vinagre under Remote > Recent Connections?
I've done this and it does not work. I've deleted the entire Vinagre profile directory ~/.local/share/vinagre and it somehow regenerates the recent connections list. I uninstalled and reinstall Vinagre... still there!
Where the heck is this stubborn list stored that I can actually delete it?
My partition setup is:
[Win7] [Ubuntu] [extended [logical partition]] (in that exact order)
The bootloader installed in the MBR is a non-standard one that allows you to chainload a secondary bootloader on another partition. I use the this option alternatively boot Ubuntu via GRUB installed on /dev/sda1. This setup has always worked for me, but after upgrading my hard drive, I can't seem to restore GRUB to a working state. I upgraded by restoring recent backup images to the drive (this has worked for me in the past)
But, this time, I just get:
Error: no such partition. Grub rescue>
I can boot the Ubuntu installation with this at the rescue prompt:
set root=(hd0,1)
set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
insmod normal
normal
But it's pretty silly to type that in every time.
This is my disk layout according to fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order
I've tried grub-setup, grub-install, boot-repair (which doesn't work because it only offers the option to install to MBR), none have worked.
I have a USB thumbdrive with GRUB installed (which works when I use it to boot to the Ubuntu installation on the laptop at /dev/sda1) and its grub.cfg file is identical to the one on /dev/sda1.
If I had to guess, does the fact that the order of the partitions listed in fdisk -l doesn't match the order they're arranged on the disk have effect on this?
When I type set at the grub prompt I get
prefix=(hd0,msdos2)/boot/grub
root=hd0,msdos2
