1) Win Vista
2) Ubuntu /
3) Home
4) Swp
5) EXT4 (Purpose is to share files between ubuntu and vista)
I'm wondering if its possible to install Virtual Box on both OS but pointing only to 1 virtual machine.
Also if its possible to permanently mount the shared partition on both OS.
I want my samba to keep my windows attributes exactly what the user setted in windows I mean if it has read only file in win box and copy it to samba share ,samba keep it read only and same for other attributes but it does not do it now with my configuration:Quote:

I am dual booting OpenSUSE and Windows 7 Pro x64. Each OS is installed on a separate 1Tb hard drive. One question that I have tried to Google for a solution with no success is, how do you access ext4 from Windows? Shortly after I installed OpenSUSE, my OpenSUSE hard drive "vanished" from Windows 7. aturally, I can access all my hard drives from OpenSUSE, which does support the NTFS. I am quite sure that I am not the only person who has this problem as I know that dual booting Linux and Windows is quite common.

Now, I installed karmic using the default, latest file system (ext4, I believe it is, right?). Last I remember hearing, that presents a bit of a problem, doesn't it?

But no, when I try to open my text files (mainly made with gedit) some characters are ass, swedish letters rarely work and ', ", / and so on are not represented as the characters I want to see. Is there a easy, fast way to read (and print!) my text files at school, where they have only windows, without spending half an hour fixing the file by hand?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI had some problems with my hdd, I fixed most of the problems with "testdrive" or "testdisk" (cant remember) but I have some bad sections on my disk right where my important data is. I made a backup with "dd" from a live cd. I have the backup with a reading error or 5 so I guess most data is safe? I have the backup of the whole drive on an other hdd and now I need to get just a few folders out of it. I tried in windows but I can't read it. Poweriso can but not the privet folders like /var/ and that folder I need. I had a password on the account so I guess that is part of the problem? How to read the backup file in windows?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently been helping my brother set up his computer with a fresh install of Fedora 11. Unfortunately things have not been going all that well. After having some problems with Fedora 11, such as it not liking his monitor and disabling Plymouth's graphical boot (I actually like to see what my systems doing!) things finally seemed to be going into place. Unfortunately the next day we were no longer able to log into his account. After hours of tweaking I finally found out it was that for some reason GNOME stopped liking his account.
This is where things went from bad to worse. I tired removing his own account and giving him a new one, unwittingly taking out his home directory in the process, all 80 gigabytes of it. And just as promised ext4 was extremely quick about it. What can I do to recover it? We have done similar things on NTFS on Windows XP, so I see no reason why a next-gen file-system like ext4 can't do it.
I'm saving files onto my NTFS partition from Ubuntu (Karmic, dual boot with Vista Home), but, although the files appear to be there, they cannot be read. The error message is 'File not Found. Check the name and try again'. File appears under Windows Explorer and has a file size of 986K.

Second, How can she read files of Ubuntu (documents- ODT File (.odt)) in Windows? How can she print the doc's when the printer only works for Windows?
Third, how can be deleted the Ubuntu from her machine when she be able to return the pc to thye dealer?
I have 4 partitions. One is Ext4 for Karmic, one is NTFS for WinXP, and the other two are Ext4 where I keep all my stuff.When I boot into Karmic and open Nautilus, none of the last three are auto mounted. When I click on one of them, instead of a window popping out asking me for a sudo password, I get a message as shown below.f I try to mount via sudo in terminal it works, but the files for me are then all read-only. Again, if I open Nautilus as root, all works fine.What I want is the following:- for all 3 partitions to automount on startup;- for all 3 partitions to be owned by me and not by root.I tried editing /etc/fstab, but to no avail. Neither did running "chown" help.
/etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to install 11.04 next to my working 10.04 system. First I need to make room for the new system so I have booted from a live cd and started GParted. In GParted the partition with the 10.04 system on it, /dev/sda1, has a red circle with an exclamation mark in it and I cannot resize it. When I doubleclick on /dev/sda1 there is the following warning
Quote:
Failed to change to directory '.'(Stale NFS file handle)
Failed to change to directory '.'(Stale NFS file handle)
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The following list of software packages is required for ext4 file system support: e2fsprogs v1.41+.
The 10.04 system is working and has worked like a dream for a couple of years and the machine has never had any other system on it. Why would the live CD not be able to read ext4 fs?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64bit (Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic) and sometimes my /home partition is remounting in read-only and i have no idea why. Normally I only use programms like Firefox, Rhythmbox, Evolution and Netbeans 6.8. Should I switch to the EXT3 filesystem?

I compiled a kernel using a previous kernel config after I switched to the ext4 file system. Previously it was using ext3 and the kernel compiled and ran fine. I added support for ext4 to the config but when I went to boot I had a kernel panic. The error was "kernel can't mount vfs on (8,5)". Root is on sda5, I don't know what the 8 is. I started over, using mrproper and made a new config, but got the same error. I created an initrd with the ext4 file system but then the kernel said it couldn't mount root on ext3 because of unique options. (something along those lines) I booted back into the default kernel and saw that it had a similar error right after the bios check, but it loaded fine. I'm wondering why the kernel is saying that the ext4 file system is ext3.

I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint 9 with an ext4 (sda3) data partition to be shared between both. My issue is when I go to that partition and mount it within Nautilus it mounts read only. I've searched around but I have not found the solution. I don't have a problem mounting it using fstab and mounting at boot. But, I know I have to be doing something wrong for it not to work correctly through Nautilus.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 25G 3.2G 21G 14% /media/7e66f3a0-e35d-40b0-8427-4abfd3b53d8a
/dev/sda2 25G 9.8G 14G 42% /
/dev/sda3 56G 32G 21G 61% /media/data
I partitioned the drive like this. Ubuntu sda1 primary partition ext4 25gb, Mint sda2 primary partition ext4 25gb and Data primary partition 56gb. I then installed Ubuntu 10.04 first, then Mint. Both Ubuntu and Mint mount that partition as read only.
1. What can I use to read/write to my ext4 file system in Win7 x64? 2. I use Macbuntu. Is there any way to get a translucent top bar 3. My computer seems to be running hot while on Ubuntu. The fan speed seems increased. It goes back to normal on Windows though.

Since I am pretty new to Linux/Fedora a friend helped me to install the system on my old system so i am not sure if the disk is formatted as ext2,ext3 or xfs. How do I mount these 2 disks to be able to read the files? when i run fdisk -l I got:

Not sure what the problem is, but my home directory or /home partition is acting up so that I cannot see the hidden directories in my home directory.
If I type "ls" I get the display of all my files and directories.
If I type "ls -l" I get the display of files and directories.
If I type "ls -a" or "ls -la", the terminal hangs.
Any thoughts? I have tried creating myself a new account and moved all my files over, then changed the ownerships to the new account. However, now the new account is acting the same way.
