Debian :: Time Displayed Incorrectly After Win7 Duel Boot Setup
Sep 29, 2010
I believe a windows7 addition to a multiboot system has buggered up the time displayed on two other debian installations on the same computer, a X86_64 and an AMD64 respectively. I'm running unstable on the two Debian installations but #dpkg-reconfigure tzdata can't fix the problem. At the moment the local time is displayed as 15:59 when in fact it is 19:59 and UTC is displaying the correct local time. (19:59) when it should be 23:59 I'm sure this is related to something win7 did, because I only noticed it after the additionalinstallation. I just don't know how to change things back like they were.

Well Fedora 14 sees my Emu soundcard right out of the gate with the live cd! I have windows 7 installed right now. I would like to install Fedora 14 from the live cd to have a duel boot setup. What I am trying to do is just give Fedora 60GB of the drive and keep the rest for Winows. How can I go about this with the live cd. I am sure it's been covered to death but I couldn't really find it.

How do I get windows to install and duel boot with ubuntu?I am duel running Ubuntu 10.04 and uber student (Linux distro). The plan is to lose uber student and add windows 7. I need to format the part of the harddrive to good old ntfs (or what ever it may be called ) So I went system > administration > disk utility. of course I then choose the hard drive deleted the uber student partition of 100 gigs and turned it in to ntfs.Ramed windows disk in. But the windows screen didnt show up this partion and only gave me the option to use my swap space my 140 for ubuntu or my 110 for logical partitions.

I boot Ubuntu off of an external hard drive just so I don't deal with partitions and crap on the same drive my Windows 7 Ultimate is on. This is a Gateway laptop, BTW. Anyway, after I boot Ubuntu, when I boot into Windows again my time is off by a few time zones.

The time in my Fedora 12 x64 installation is 5 hours behind what it should be. When I change it to the correct time, Windows XP x64 is now 5 hours ahead! (Dual boot setup). How I can sync the times on both os's. Both are set to GMT-5.

I'm not consistently able to boot into Ubuntu Lucid on my new dual boot (w/ Win7) setup. Machine is a Dell XPS 1645 laptop. Usually it takes 1-3 tries of hard shut down and restart before the OS starts up. Boot info script results are below. Windows starts up fine everytime. What I usually get is this: Dell startup screen, then Grub2 menu, then after selecting Linux kernal a blinking cursor at upper left of monitor and it just hangs.

I've just installed linux on my Acer Aspire One netbook, (10.10 netbook edition) I've done it as a duel boot with Windows 7 Starter as i want to use Linux, family want to use windows. But ideally i would want the pc to boot up as Windows then say if i hit a certain key on bootup it would swap it over to Linux from windows before it starts to load?

For the past few years, I've been duel booting my PC with Windows Vista and Ubuntu, and for some weird unknown reason Windows Vista won't even boot up pass the update screen... so I want to get rid of it.
Every tutorial I find says put the ubuntu cd in, and press install, but my computer isn't detecting the cd at start up, so is there any other ways I can remove windows without (or another way to load the cd)? I can't access Windows at all, so.. I won't be able to do anything about that.

I need to find the best way to triple boot XP Win7 and Debian, with Debian installed first on my laptop. VMWare, Wine and Cedega cant do what I need with how I run my laptop, which is equivalent to my portable laptop/workstation. Is there a partitioning tool in Debian that I can install to make a small partition for each? I also hace to set up GRUB instead of the Windows BL.

I've just had a phone call from an 8.04/win xp duel boot user who has lost the boot entry to xp after a 8.04 update. I guessed at a system upgrade but she checked and is still on Hardy. They write and only have the xp for printing as there is no Linux support for the cannon printer. Using the printer is important. I've said I'll pop round and try to sort it out. Any ideas how I can do this. Update grub in recovery mode maybe or if I need the command line what should I try? I'd like to know before calling as though I'm not quite a novice this isn't a problem I've had to cope with since grub 2 beta ( didn't solve it then either an am still using 9.04 ). Hacking legacy will be new to me. As this is a writers machine with all her work on it I'd regard it as a critical pc, don't want to mess things up for her.

I am kinda new to Linux but because I started a linux-course I decided to install it on my desktop. Before I used Virtual Box or VMware so it was pretty straightforward but now I have a problem with booting into Win7. I decided to install Debian along with my Win7. From a hardware perspective the things are like this, I have 3 HDD, 2 on a RAID0 and the third will be the one with Linux. On the RAID0 matrix I installed Win7 first, all ok there.
Then I started installing Debian. I followed the installation wizard, I partitioned the 3rd HDD and selected it as the drive for Linux. Then after I installed Linux and rebooted I only saw Debian in the GRUBs boot options, no sign of Win7. I think it has to do with the RAID0 matrix which "houses" Win7. I disconnected the 3rd HDD, and now when I try to boot no sign of the Win7 bootloader thou the RAID0 is ok. The only message I get is "insert boot disk".

I choose the drive to boot to from the computer Bios. When i boot into Windows my clock time changes, about 5 hours.I have another computer with Ubuntu 10.10 installed, but it will not install on this computer, Debian Did. Ubuntu gave me a command to fix this and it worked. However the Debian computer will not accept that command, Which is open a terminal from the menu applications accessories and type gksudo gedit /ect/defaults/rcs in this configuration change the row UTC set it as:UTC=no save and reboot and then set the clock. [It was set to yes]

I've got a couple of new hard disks that I have partitioned (3 partitions per disk) and set up in a mirrored software raid array using mdadm. They've synced, I've put file systems on them (1 x ext4, 2 x luks + ext4) and I can mount them. I've checked the partitions using fdisk. I've checked the filesystems using fsck. So far so good. Next step is that I'd like mdadm to automatically assemble them on boot. (Not bothered about mounting and crypttabing yet.)
I've used sudo /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf to generate a new mdadm.conf with the appropriate UUIDs for the new partitions. I've checked that this matches the output of sudo mdadm --detail --scan
The new lines in this file are:
ARRAY /dev/md9 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=470fb8a6:45561fe0:ebda4a02:9ba7a1ed
ARRAY /dev/md10 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=f351fbba:c704a4b2:ebda4a02:9ba7a1ed
ARRAY /dev/md8 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=c6ccec17:2274588e:ebda4a02:9ba7a1ed
To check that the mdadm.conf is fine I have stopped the new arrays:

I just installed Debian stable from the standard i386 DVD. When I booted up, I noticed that GRUB showed me that I had the amd64 version of Debian installed. However, I did not download an amd64 DVD, nor do I want that architecture installed on my system (even though my system can support it). The output from "uname -a" (which included both "amd64" and "x86_64") also seem to confirm this. However, I was able to install 32 bit packages and get them to work (gdebi wouldn't even let me do this when I had Ubuntu 32-bit).

Setting up a randomly passworded swap partition in Debian installer with the default settings (aes-xts-plain64 w/ AES-256 key strength) gives the following line in /etc/crypttab:
Code: Select all####_crypt /dev/#### /dev/urandom cipher=aes-xts-plain64,size=256,swap
However according to cryptsetup manpage when using XTS mode the key size must be doubled so in effect the 'size=256' parameter above is actually resulting in AES-128 strength, no? To get 256 bit key length the size option should be set to 512. Quote from cryptsetup manpage:
For XTS mode (a possible future default), use "aes-xts-plain" or better "aes-xts-plain64" as cipher specification and optionally set a key size of 512 bits with the -s option. Key size for XTS mode is twice that for other modes for the same security level.

Having trouble with pulseaudio (0.9.21, Debian Squeeze) failing to properly recognize a Turtle Beach X-ray headset?
My tv connects fine, playing Dolby Digital through it without issue, but my computer doesn't. (A possible side effect: Flash videos play in slow-mo when the headset is connected to the computer's bluetooth adapter, but not when the headset is disconnected.)
Is there a way to tell Pulseaudio to give the headset 6 channels?
Some info:
Code: Select all~ » pulseaudio --dump-modules
module-alsa-card ALSA Card
module-alsa-sink ALSA Sink
module-alsa-source ALSA Source
module-always-sink Always keeps at least one sink loaded even if it's a null one
module-augment-properties Arugment the property sets of streams with additional static information
module-bluetooth-device Bluetooth audio sink and source

I'm trying to install ubuntu on a laptop (Acer Aspire 6530), and duel boot with windows vista. However, when starting up the computer with the CD in the drive, the installer fails to load, showing only a picture at the bottom of the screen showing a square and a circle with a person in it... This persists for as long as I have cared to wait (hours) and pressing keys at first results in nothing, then after sufficient key presses just produces beeps...
Anyone know what's wrong there?

As I am sure many have had this issue. I have installed 10.4 and I cannot boot back into windows vista. I can boot into ubuntu just fine. I have installed Grub and Grub2 both program pick up ubuntu just fine, but they will not even find the windows install. I have tried a few fixes and none seem to have worked. So at this point I am not sure if it is a person PC issue or just the OS itself. I see lots of people are having this issue. Misery love company.

I've got the last Debian stable release, the amd64-DVD-1 file , and copy it to my USB stick, using win32diskimager, as recommended in the installation guide.
It seems to go all fine, but when I rebooted, after entering the passphase it started a fsck "from util-linux 2.25.2", then it says:
"/dev/mapper/Debian-root: clean" and stuck there. i gave it quite a bit of time, tried to reinstall it and also got into the rescue mode of the installer,
