Debian Configuration :: Can Move SSD From Old To New Laptop Without Formatting?

Jun 30, 2015

I have been using debian from the past 3 years on a dell inspiron 1520 (2007 model). Yesterday i bought a dell inspiron 5548 (Early 2015). I have and ssd drive in old laptop that i want to move to the new laptop. To my knowledge i think i can replace the 1TB hard drive on new laptop with ssd, remove or reinstall or update drivers so the ssd will just run fine on new laptop without having to reinstall all the stuff and customization. Should i recompile the kernel in linux for new hardware? AFA windows 7(Dual booting Debian 8 and Windows 7), i think removing and reinstalling drivers will work fine.

Hardware: Old laptop specs: - New laptop
-------------------- - ---------------
Processor: Core 2 duo 2Ghz - Core i5 5th gen. 5200U
RAM: DDR2 667MHz - DDR3 1600MHz
Graphics: Intel GMA X3100 - Intel 5500 / AMD M265 2GB Graphics
Chipset: Mobile Intel GM965 Express chipset - Intel 9 series chipset

Debian :: Manually Partitioning And Formatting Large Hard Disk

Jan 5, 2016

What is the recommended method these days for command line partitioning and formatting for the Terabyte size hard disk.?

It was easy to keep up when your working or have access to hardware for re-purposing, but that has all dried up and my knowledge has been left behind. The problem(s) are with new, recent hardware

Following a crash from a now detectable faulty stick of RAMM, I've lost one of my data hard disks and my fiddling with replacement seems to leave various errors/warnings mainly about GPT not supported and this message is still present despite trying fdisk, cfdisk, gpart, gparted, and(?).

System is an ASUS mobo using SATA drives (root 500Gb: MBR+3 partitions;/, swap, /home), and two 2.4TB with single partitions.

General :: Division Of Logical Memory Space In To User Space And Kernel Space

Jan 4, 2010

Logical Memory Space of 4GB is divided in to 3GB User Space and 1GB Kernel Space. Always. Correct?

1. How can we change it? (just changing value of PAGE_OFFSET is okay?)

2. If system have only 256MB of memory (embedded system) and suppose Kernel Modules eat away all the memory during boot. User space will be left will no memory. Is this case possible?

Software :: Debian's And Debian Based Distros With Disk Space - Burn Video On Hard Drive

Debian and debian based distros issue has a issue that has come to make it self aware to me when I was trying to burn a video on my hard drive with braseo and it won't let me burn more than 4.4 gigs to a dvd with 4.7 gigs of free space even a file that is over the 4.4 gig limit by a megabyte with windows i didn't have this problem. One more thing I have 16 gig flash drive and on debian and debian based distros i can only use 13.1 gigs of it but on fedora I can use all 16 gigs.

Debian :: Hard Drive Space For Debian And GUI?

Feb 22, 2010

How much should I consider allocating if I wanted to go a bit beyond a "Live CD" experience but not quite as far as making it my A-1 Linux? My first experience with Linux (or Unix) and GUI together was LinuxPPC on a 603e Mac clone. That was on an 8GB drive (that used to call a RAID server its home, incidentally). Then I had OS X, versions 10.1 and 10.2 on a G3 iMac (40GB boot drive), followed by OS X 10.3 Jaguar on a G4 Dual 1.25 MDD. The power supply died on that -- a $300 item when you can find one with the right pinouts.

In x86 land, on this Lenovo M55p (80gb boot, 1GB RAM, Windows XP Pro SP3 as the primary installed OS), I've sampled GNOME and KDE thanks to Wubi installs that were 15Gb and 25Gb, respectively. I also have an IBM Thinkpad T54 (1.25GB RAM, also 80GB boot) onto which I've installed Ubuntu 9.04.

I understand that Debian has no Wubi counterpart; that it runs strictly on X-ready file systems (Ext2, Ext3 come to mind as examples with which I am vaguely familiar). I have also heard, often enough to start believing it, that Ubuntu and its K & X variants are derived from Debian. I get the impression, however, that for a decent install of it, somewhat more than 15 or 25 GB may be required.

Debian :: Out Of Disk Space On /

I'm missing something here. Just installed Squeeze on a server and, after making a couple of modifications, rec'd a warning that I'm "out of disk space on /".

Debian :: PS3 Running An .img Of Squeeze - Out Of Space

Feb 10, 2011

If you haven't heard, PS3's on custom firmware have access to a linux install of sorts.

The OS is running from an .img of a Debian squeeze install.

My problem is that installing anything makes it run out of space. (It's only a 1Gig image)

I have searched and found some info, but it doesn't seem to work.

Make sure you have loop module on your linux.

Now you can copy the linux.img to your root of usb stick...

AND...

Mount first the original 1gb linux.img and then copy it to somewhere and then create an bigger image and copy to the new image.

mount:

And then follow the how to above. i think you should copy the folder with rsync because cp command will damage folder permissions!

Debian :: Dev SDA1 Causes Low Disk Space

My problem: 1GB-capacity dev SDA1 got filled up to 100% and made system unusable in less than one month. No downloads or updates were made during this period of time. I don't know which files/programs would be safe to delete since it all seem to be system files.

Debian :: Can't Rename A File Starting With A Space

I've tried "rename" off the right context menu in XFE (ver. 1.32.1)

I've tried Krename.

I've tried quoting;

$ mv ' Outlander - 2009.avi' 'Outlander - 2009.avi'
mv: cannot stat ` Outlander - 2009.avi': No such file or directory

I've tried escaping;

$ mv Outlander - 2009.avi Outlander - 2009.avi
mv: cannot stat ` Outlander - 2009.avi': No such file or directory

I've tried forgetting about it & hoping it will go away...

Debian :: : Get Back Disk Space Warning?

Jul 25, 2011

I have made two partitions / and /home . / is where all the packages and other stuff lives and /home is where user i.e. my data lives. I am sure everybody knows the 'disk space is less' warning dialog box when either we install too many packages or when we download many things. Now the last time it happened by mistake I clicked on do not show more warnings. Now I want to have that warning dialog box back. looked at System > Preferences submenu as well as System > Administration but have not been able to find any info. on the same.

Debian Installation :: Swap Space For 64 Bit Squeeze ?

Oct 31, 2010

I am currently running 32 bit ubuntu in my PC with 2.5 GB RAM, Intel Pentium Dual Core inside. I am coming to debian soon. I will be installing 64 bit squeeze. Now I have 3 GB of swap space. I do satellite image processing. Therefore what is the recommended swap space for me with the kind of work I do. RAM is in very small amount but as of now I have to stay with it.

Also I am interested to know would KDE be an overkill for my machine. Will I run short of memory when I start image processing?

It is about 65MB.I pack it back together: 1.7MB.btw: if i do ls -hl i always get 4.0K . To check the size of directories i need to use a filemanager. That sucks. A tip?

Debian Configuration :: No Space Left On Device

Mar 15, 2016

Debian Version: 8.3 (Jessie) KDE (although this is NOT a desktop issue)
Basic Hardware:
Gigabyte Motherboard GA-970A-D3P
AMD 8350 CPU (8 cores)
32 GB DDR3 RAM
120GB SSD SATA-6GB/s
750 WD Black SATA-6GB/s

I am getting "Error: No space left on device" regularly during updates or installs, but why. Here is data on the disks, filesystems, etc...

Code: Select all df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        81G   27G   50G  35% /
devtmpfs         16G     0   16G   0% /dev
tmpfs            16G   76K   16G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs            16G   18M   16G   1% /run

[code]...

Seems very doubtful that inodes are the killer.I have googled and followed all the threads, and search these forums and found nothing that fits - every answer there was focused on avaiolable space and inodes..And to make the cheese even more binding, the issue has cropped up on another 8.3 system with far more disk space (larger hard drives) and lots more unused inodes

Code: Select alldf -h
Filesystem                        Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/dm-0                         907G  6.6G  855G   1% /
udev                               10M     0   10M   0% /dev
tmpfs                             995M  9.2M  986M   1% /run
tmpfs                             2.5G   76K  2.5G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                             5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock

Programming :: Passing Data Between Kernel Space To User Space In Asynchronous Way

Dec 13, 2010

I am developing a I2C CDROM client driver. The CDROM firmware supports TOC information read through a I2C command. It sends the TOC information in burst ( Interrupts a GPIO pin when it is ready ) and my CPU does a I2C read to read the TOC. When the CDROM firmware finishes sending the last data burst , it informs my CPU that it is done with the TOC, by a flag in the last data burst. I would like to know, which is the most efficinet way I can send these TOC information to userspace?

I wanna write a file in kernel space but from my searching I can to know that instead of writeing file in kernel space ,I can write data to user space by copy_to_user space.

But link is missing ...I dont know how will my user space will access kernel space means my function in kernel space which will do copy_to_user /....How my user space function will call my kernel level function ..

Can any one of you provide me with some example file which are doing this .I know every char driver is using it ...but i could not trace back how user level function is accessing it ...i m confused between user space and kernel space.

Slackware :: Disk Space Lost- Root Partition Has Very Little Space Left

Jan 31, 2010

Today I was installing a lot of software since I'm just setting up my Slackware system again after a fresh install, and I realized that my root partition has very little space left.

Here is the output of df -h:


Code:

As you can see, I have a 20G (19G here for some reason) root partition, 8G /var, and 86G of /home. I thought this would be plenty since many recent recommendations for / are 10-15G. Now, though, 17G are used up for some reason! How is this possible? I thought a full slackware install only had about 4G of software! I don't have any music or movies or any crazy huge files that I know of, and those would be in my /home directory anyway. Is there any way I can see which files are taking up all this space?

If it's necessary to allocate more space to my / partition, is it still possible to boot up a GParted live Cd, shrink /home a bit, move some partitions to the right, and expand my root partition? I would REALLY prefer I don't have to reinstall since I just spent a ton of time setting up my system again, but if worst comes to worst ... :'-(

In case you're curious, here's my /etc/fstab:
