General :: Reinstall Debian Without Reformat?
Apr 25, 2010I would like to reinstall debian on my server. It runs a self-compiled 4.0 because of the SATA controller that was not recognized at that time and the only solution was to recompile with the driver. Now, I did a test with an empty drive with V5.04 and the controller is recognized out of the box. I tried to install again, text-based and graphical, but in both modes I have to repartition. Is there a way to reinstall without losing data/reformat/repartition, and if yes, can you point me in the right direction because google or searching the forum did not deliver any solution.

Mar 7, 2010I installed Mythbuntu, got some Wine apps up and running, then discovered my Nvidia DualTV MCE won't work with Myth. So I'd like to try a different variant, either the plain vanilla Ubuntu or UbuntuStudio.Can I just use Mythbuntu to create a new partition, move /home/* to it, and then reformat and install over the original Mythbuntu partition? When I reinstall the new version, how do I tell the installation process to use /home on the other partition (without overwriting it) instead of creating a new one from scratch?

I can receive SSH connections but am unable to SSH into another computer.I located the RPM that looks to be what I'd want -- openssh-4.3p2-41.el5_5.1.i386.rpm -- but it refuses to install.

Dec 7, 2010I have accidentally clobbered my root path /, but /boot and /usr and /home are okay. Silly me instead of doing a fsck I did a mkfs - arrgh!
/boot is on a separate partition and /, /usr, /home and swap are in a LVM I do have a backup of / on a separate machine which uses backuppc. getting ssh and rsync going first will be a priority. Luckily the machine is not a critical one as it only runs Oracle and mySQL...both databases are on /usr partition
My question is can I have the install only install the /boot and / parts but leave the /usr and /home alone?

Unfortunately the new motherboard is a rev 2.x board, which has a different onboard NIC (old one is RTL 8102E, new one is AR8132), so now my ethernet connection doesn't work anymore (no eth0 device), I assume I need to install a new driver for the AR8132?

Aug 31, 2009I was having a problem where I had run keytool to generate a key but had entered some bad info. I tried to run it again but it said there was already a key, so I deleted keystore thinking it would regenerate itself. I ran the keytool command again but it says it can't derive the signature algorithm.
Anyway, I've tried to 'sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-jdk' then 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk' but it doesn't seem to put me back where I was from step 1. 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure' also doesn't seem to fix it. I think if I can completely reinstall jdk then I'll be good, but how?
I just uninstalled, did 'sudo apt-get clean sun-java6-jdk' then installed again. Still get the error:
keytool error: java.lang.Excpetion: Cannot derive signature algorithm

As I had a Ubuntu disc lying around, I decided to install it onto this computer, but honestly, I can't stand the OS and can't do anything that I'm used to doing (and doing it slower when in Linux). My question is, how do I completely reformat this hard drive / how do I install WIndows onto this computer, when my BIOS isn't letting me edit it. The Windows disc doesn't try to load, no matter what I try to do to it.

Oct 31, 2009I have a 2Gb DT Kingston secure USB stick which somehow I have contrived to partially reformat using Gparted - however it now only shows 15Mb of unallocated space and that's it - I cannot seem to get the full empty 2Gb back again.
Is it because it used to have windows based secure software on it - has it 'locked down' the drive so it's now useless?
I just want to have 2Gb of EXT type space!
General :: Both Windows Partitions Are Still RO - Even After Reformat
Jan 15, 2010I have been trying to DL the version of DOS-box I prefer to C:, but I made both the Win-lose partitions RO when I first installed / (call me crazy, but I was paranoid it might mess with an already broken install from nearly a decade ago with an OS that-shall-remain-nameless that's even older). Incidentally, I have learned from shenanigans with Linux-drivers from nVidia that /home partition is definitely a good idea (another post for another time)...
Anyway: even though I specifically made sure I turned the RO flag off but definitely made both Win' part's "usable" in the Installer from the NETINST live-CD. I had to format because GParted ("Partition Editor" under System -> Administration) wouldn't allow me to edit RW/RO thingy... Even when I logged in as / I checked in fstab, but there's no RO flags listed.
. I may be using the word "flag" when I mean something else. When you run the Lenny graphical installer, and choose to manually partition-edit, and then choose to "use" your [I chose] FAT-32 partitions, there's a few setup choices that become available. Including "its mount-point shall be..." and these Extra Choices I'm referring to as flags, that are "RO", "Quiet?" and a third one I can't remember... Time for sleeping!
