Fedora Installation :: Repairing Fstab After Ghost?
Jun 30, 2010We have a Fedora11 installation that we Ghosted (Norton Ghost) to a bigger Hard Disk because the old one was failing
I know there is an extra step for linux where you fix fstab because it points to all the wrong locations, could someone walk me through this or link me to somewhere that can walk me through it?
Do I need to do this editing from a Fedora 11 Live CD (as its gone missing) or will a Fedora 13 CD do the trick?

May 26, 2009I'm having a problem which seems restricted to Fedora. I'm trying to install Fedora 10 on a dual boot system. I have Windows 7 RC installed. When I boot the live CD to run Fedora, my screen ends up displaying Fedora on the left half, and bits of the Windows shut down screen on the right. I cannot access the Fedora menus, they are pushed off to the left out of view.
I previously experienced the same problem with an earlier version of Fedora, with the HD loaded with Ubuntu and Win 7 beta. Fedora would boot but display either the last Ubuntu or last Windows screen to the right, whichever had been running last. No other version of Linux exhibits this behavior that I have found, but my experience is limited. Is there a particular procedure that I need to run to get Fedora to use the entire video display? Does Fedora need to be installed first?
Hardware is: ASUS P5E VM HDMI, using the integrated graphics, display is a 32" LCD TV HDMI input, hard drive is a Samsung 500Gb.

I really want to make a copy of the system so i have a back up of the os. i have figured out that i can attach a hdd to the computer and copy the os via the command line with an ubuntu live cd but this only works as long as the computer that is receiving the backup is exactly the same or the same computer. I would like to transfer the image to a portable hdd then install the os onto virtual box ( a virtual machine). Is there a way to do this without buying expensive software.dose ubuntu 9.10 have a product similar to Norton ghost.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Desktop Folder Window That Is Always Present / What Is That?
Jul 19, 2010In Kubuntu, what is that desktop folder window that is always present? I assume this is some type of KDE thing that sets it apart from gnome. But how do you get rid of it permanently? What if I just want to have a normally functioning desktop with icons like Ubuntu or Windows, but I like the look of the Kubunu theme and such? I want all those ever present, weird windows to go away, and for the desktop to function normally like you would think a desktop should. With icons, and a lower taskbar. That weird thing is kinda getting on my nerves.

Jan 19, 2010I have been using GHOST for quite a few years to back up my Windoze partitions from NTFS to a series of images on a fat32 partition. I usually boot off a DOS7 bootable CD and simply ghost over to the fat32 partition.
I am rebuilding my laptops and desktops to dual boot Windows7 and Suse 11.2
My goal is to create restore images from my NTFS and ext3 partitions into directories on the fat32 partition for a restoration to my "gold baseline" build after any corruption.
My partition layout is below. This is output from gdisk.exe in DOS7. It's an 80gig drive.
1 = Windows-7
2 = /boot
3 = swap
5 = /
6 = /fat32

General :: Obtain The Raw Image From A Norton Ghost File?
May 19, 2010I have a Norton Ghost .gho file, and basicly I want to extract the raw image out of this, for example to use with with tools like dd. (So using any symantec/windows tools is not an option). Is there any open source tool which can deal with these .gho files ?
(Note: the.gho file I'm using is a sector based one, and not a file-based one, which implies that things such as Ghost explorer won't work either (see this page)

Ubuntu :: Automatic Ghost Of Data Hard Drive?
Apr 5, 2011I'm trying to make a simple task as complicated as possible, so bear with me.
I'm going to force a friend onto Ubuntu soon, and the biggest requirement is photo management.
He wants his extensive photo library backed up, and backed up some more, and then when all feels safe, backed up even again.
Currently, all his photos reside on a 4 disk striped RAID array, based on his cousin's recommendation. The intent was a RAID 1+0, but they failed, and that needs to be fixed immediately.
So, instead of going with more mirrored hard drives in a RAID, which I know Ubuntu will do just fine, I'd like to simplify and just do manual backups of each hard drive.
So, I'm looking for a program that could possibly be set up to automatically back up a hard drive onto another hard drive on a weekly basis or something like that. Ultimately, doing a manual copy/paste of the data in the drive could work, but would be time consuming.
I'm scared of RAIDs lately because of a recent fiasco with a BIOSTAR motherboard and how it set the RAID mirror on a set of hard drives for a Windows load that rendered the harddrives basically useless for anything but a RAID mirror, with that motherboard and a Windows load, and I almost lost a lot of data because of it.
I'm also not sure how well Windows would recognize a RAID partition created in ext3, if he ever wanted to go back to Windows.
Software :: Backup / Ghost Live Debian Server?
Nov 1, 2010I have a live production server with different partitions that I would like to backup/ghost so that if the server crashes, I would have an easy way to restore it. My server is running Debian Lenny, it's got 2 x 2TB hard disks in RAID1 mode.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 4.6G 1002M 3.4G 23% /
tmpfs 1.7G 0 1.7G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 744K 9.3M 8% /dev
tmpfs 1.7G 0 1.7G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 122M 15M 102M 13% /boot
/dev/sda6 4.6G 289M 4.1G 7% /home
/dev/sda8 942M 18M 877M 2% /tmp
/dev/sda9 1.8T 3.9G 1.7T 1% /var
As you can see, total disk usage is about 5GB. I can transfer that to another server on the network.What would be the best way to perform a complete backup without stopping the server and how could I restore that backup in case of emergency ? After browsing the entire Web, I couldn't find the answer that would make my life easy, so I give it a try here
Software :: The Equivalent Of Norton Ghost Partition>To Image?
May 29, 2011i have two hard drives,sda sdb. sda1 contains my xp,i want to work with windows on sdb1
bcoz of performance reason. ive used partimage to create an image and restore it to
sdb2 while doing so im getting an error that the sdb1 partition is too small ..,this makes me understand that partimage copies all the partition bit by bit with probably the boot sector as well. but thats not the behaivor i want. i belive what i did so far is like doing ghost with partition->to partition. it means the destination partition shuld be greater or the same.. is there any ghost partition->to image like in linux? partimage only works on partitions?(i.e cant do disk image) i think my answer is somewhere around copy the files with cp, and tar gz them.
OpenSUSE :: Lost KDE 4.3 Default Desktop Window - New 11.2 Install
Nov 15, 2009This is a new, two days since release 11.2 install on a freshly formatted drive. I lost the KDE 4.3 default semitransparent Desktop Window with all the desktop folders. I believe what happened was when the mouse went across this window, the window side pop out with the X at the bottom appeared, the mouse pointer continued onto the "old style" desktop far away from this pop out and I clicked on blank "old style" desktop. This window appears to have treated this as selecting the X in the pop out, which I probably went over without clicking on my way past it and this window is gone. I have changed to "folder view" since I can't figure out how to restore this window for the "default desktop view".
How do you restore the semitransparent default Desktop Window when its no longer in its own "view"? The jury is still out on the obviously improved, but still not ready for prime-time KDE 4.3. I feel like a Microsoft OS user being forced into using a "new" burdensome/buggy interface I don't want or need at all. Even the KDE 4.3 manual admits some things (only some?) will not work as expected. The KDE 3.5 interface did everything I "needed" quickly and without problems. I've already had enough abuse from MS, please stop emulating them.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Reduce Desktop Window Size Within Screen?
Aug 23, 2010Can the size of the Ubuntu desktop window be reduced so that it displays on a monitor or via a data projector with a surrounding black border? If so, how? The tragicomic chain of events which leads to the question is as follows. Community group, short of cash, want to equip lecture room. Pull-down screen is set up permanently on one wall. Contractor sets up old data projector via ceiling mount. Data projector is just too far away from wall, such that image cannot be reduced sufficiently by the data projector to fit on the screen.
Annoyingly the image, as displayed, is only slightly too large - just enough to lose the top and bottom panels, Applications menu, File Menu on full-size windows, Indicator applet, Trash, and restore desktop button. The data projector is hooked up via VGA cable to a recycled PC running Ubuntu 10.04 with proprietary NVidia driver (version 173) for GeForce 8400 GS. I'll give anything to be able to do this on the PC, rather than having to move the projector!
