For F10 patched. I'm in Honduras. The local cell / Internet provider that covers Guatamala, Honduras, El Salvador, uses an HSDPA modem marked "GBC" and is also known as the "China Bird". It's a black usb stick that looks identical to the option unit, but its definitely not an option modem.
lsusb lists it as 1c9e:1001 with no text after it. It automounts as a disk drive with typical Windows software on it. Nothing ever shows up in /dev/ttyUSB*, as I believe the disk mount causes it to not try mounting it as a modem. Dismounting it also does no good.
Im using centos. I have install rpm for mysql
But when i have enter service mysqld start it shows mysqld: unrecognized service
And when I type mysql it shows ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
I reinstalled Debian today, and changed partition tables. Now I have 4 partitions, 3 of which are encrypted, including / (root). Everything was fine at first, but now, instead of the partition label I've chosen, I see this: 120 GB Unrecognized Everything works fine, I just don't understand what this is all about.
EDIT 1:I don't understand something else too, which might be related. First time, I didn't need to enter root password for things like Synaptic and so, is this somehow related? (Now I'm being asked for, like normal way)
EDIT 2: I know the label is ROOT, I used e2label. But it still doesn't show the right name...
About 2 years ago I installed Ubuntu on my desktop as a dual boot with Windows XP. I am able to run either OS but, when booting, I get:Warning: Unrecognized partition table for drive 80. Please rebuild it using a Microsoft-compatible FDISK toolThe Ubuntu boot up is always successful. I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 Is this a normal result of the Ubuntu installation partitioning? I don't want to mess with the partition table unless I know what I'm doing and maybe that warning is a red herring.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a brand new thinkpad X301 with 4GB of RAM and thinking of getting fedora 11 on it. The plan is to have it triple boot with vista/seven and hopefully OSx86. I am aware of the 4 primary partitions limit on an MBR disk. I was thinking of having a swap file instead of swap partition and not creating a boot partition as well. If I install the boot loader(GRUB?) on the root partition will I be able to boot it without any problems by using vista's boot loader?
Or Maybe I should install GRUB on the MBR and add all the other operating systems on it? Does anyone have any objections for not creating a swap partition or a boot partition? When comes to desktop environment I've been using KDE in the past, is there any major advantage of using Gnome over it? KDE seems to look really nice on fedora where Gnome is maybe more stable?
Going from Fedora 12 to 13. Got to the point where I have to reboot to install, system reboots to 12. This is a triple boot system with Open Suse and Mint, and the grub2 bootloader from Mint is the bootloader for the whole shebang. In the "how to use preupgrade" instructions there's a line that says "dentify the drive and partition of your Fedora /boot folder." How? If that sounds odd, consider that in my set up "computer" shows 4 partitions (and with just three operating systems..?). I can mount them, but have a problem telling which sytem is Fedora, Suse or Mint. And getting the FEDORA bootloader to find the PREUPGRADE kernel ... Momma said there'd be days like this.
cat /etc/fstab just returned /dev/sda1 on /boot. I installed Fedora first, before Suse or Mint, so being on the first drive or partition sounds right, but the multiple drives throws me, and "just guessing" doesn't seem like the way to go.
I download F11 x86_64.ISO and burn it into a DVD, but when I boot my machine with EFI to EFI SHELL, I can't find entry to install F11. Who know how to install F11 in EFI shell and on a GPT partition disk? Is there any guide to do this? BTW, I can successfully install win7 x64 from the EFI shell and install win7 on a GPT disk. but there are some problems when I install F11.

I've just got a new laptop running windows vista 64 bit but going to be removing that & installing fedora 11 on it & seeing as Ubuntu doesn't come with a pae kernel as standard yet, fedora is the way to go . the Hard drive is 2x500 gigs running in raid 0 mode here's how I would like to install fedora
Partition for the software that I install (the main file Partition)
Partition for swap
Partition for temporary files
Partition for my home Partition
what's the best way to go around doing that? (that's means using 250 gig Partition's for each, which I don't mind doing) I've never Partitioned a drive before as I've always let the OS do it for me, but this time I want to Partition it myself Or as anybody get other better way's I'm open to Idea's the laptop in question is dual core 2 running @ 2.8 1066 with 6meg cache (or what ever it's called) 8.192 gig of ram, 17" widescreen monitor, 256 Meg graphics card, bluetooth, wireless, 3g Module built in, 2x500 gig (raid 0) blue-ray(reader) /DVD-rw
I am completely new to Linux in general, and have recently downloaded Fedora 15 KDE spin. I tried dual-booting between Windows 7 and Fedora by shrinking one of my Windows partitions (I have two, this partition not containing the Windows installation). I tried shrinking it to 30 GB less than the total space available on the partition, and after pressing continue, received an error (which I unfortunately dismissed quickly and can't remember). In the file manager, Fedora showed that my partition changed from 1.3Tb to 1.2 Tb, but I couldn't access it. Upon rebooting into Windows, I still can't access it, receiving a "format drive before use" popup and then error stating that it is possibly of a different filesystem or corrupt.
Unfortunately, I stupidly didn't backup any of my data (which I will be sure to remember to do in the future). I installed EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition, which states that my drive is still of NTFS filesystem and has the total space it should. However, upon clicking "check drive," it states there are no errors and when trying to "explore files," it doesn't find any (yet it shows the correct amount of used and unused space). I then tried running TestDisk, but only allows me to check my media drive E, which is my dvd drive that has my Fedora Live CD in it (which cannot be ejected manually or through Windows, an error stating it cannot be ejected). I didn't go through with TestDisk for my DVD drive because I needed to verify the type of partition (which to my knowledge shouldn't even exist). It shows 700 something MiB / 600 something MiB. Although I have decent general knowledge about computers, I am a complete novice when it comes to doing something like this.

What's the "Force to be primary partition" in Fedora partitioner? At least it doesn't work for me, it only uses primary partition using Fedora XFCE Live CD ( the only one that I checked that ).

I've installed fedora 14(fresh installation) on extended partition.(~25GB).But I found that I've one standard partition of size 30MB.So should I install fedora on standard partition or LVM?I heard people saying that having home on seperate partition is good.But seperate partition means seperate physical partition or logical partition(also)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was creating dual-boot WinXP on my machine with F10 allready installed.

I installed succesfully XP on last partition on my drive, but XP won't boot because of hal.dll error (forums says it can be repaired by changing boot.ini).
Now what I want is to create new boot partition to reinstall grub.
I'm trying to do that from gparted live cd:
From gparted live, i entered console and did "fdisk /dev/sda".
When i type 'p', here is my output:

I am trying to install F10 on my old p3 machine. It has 40GB HDD. I am installing only one OS on this system. So please recommend me partition scheme which will be helpful for home purpose.

First of all I am a long time Fedora user and now I need help getting it on my laptop. It has Windows 7 loaded (no Windows cd) and a 500GB dynamic disk. I shrunk and re-partitioned but Linux can't see the partition I made for it. I want to save Windows and had this brainwave lol. I was wondering if I could copy c:*.* to a USB drive; delete partitions and re-partition with basic partitions. Then install Linux on say the third partition; then using Linux copy Windows files from the USB onto the new C partition. Then using my Recover dvd's repair Windows. Great idea right? But I bet it won't work; any thoughts?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI threw F12 KDE on my spare rig and wanted to throw Ubuntu on it as dual boot so I can play around with different things in each flavor. I installed F12 across the entire drive and later decided I wanted to try Ubuntu with it dual boot. I booted to Ubuntu's LiveCD and fired up GParted - but GParted can't resize the partition. It just gives me a 200mb EXT4 partition and "lvm2".
