Even if you select all the packages when installing, it is not a full version. Many
packages are unavailable.
I remember that Red Hat Linux 9 has two options: Minimize and Everything.
The everything option will install a full version, which is
much larger and more abundant.
How can we do this for Fedora 9/10?

View 4 Replies View RelatedManual from Fedora says that I cannot Install Fedora 14 x64 bit version from USB.
Why?
Can't I use utillities like FlashBoot? or another tool to make bootable USB?
Is there a way to determine which of Fedora Live Image or full installation image was used to install Fedora on a Hard drive?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought a new issue of Linux Format magazine and saw it had a bootable disk with Fedora installer/live DVD on it which I was eager to try out "The worlds most advanced Linux distro" I put the DVD in my computer and rebooted it. I selected 'install or upgrade'. It started to load (blasting white text at me). I skipped the media test but then the screen was black and reacted to no mouse moving or keyboard pressing. Not even the OFF button, so I pressed RESET and selected 'install with basic video driver' this time it worked. It didn't fill my whole screen like many 'basic video drivers' but they don't cut off much so I was willing to forgive Fedora using one it was proberly only for the install anyway I could download a new one after. I have a Radeon HD 4200 (extreamly crap) intergrated into the north bridge. I can't afford an expensive graphics card. I build it myself so I can tell you what parts it's got if needed. Anyway I progressed through the setup without problems until I got to the partitionor which defaulted to 'Replace existing Linux system' this would delete Ubuntu an maybe Windows 7. I changed it to custom layout or something like that. It started a partitioner and I remembered I wanted to give ubuntu 30GB more room so I resized it. I created a new 50 GB logical partition and select it as the '/' partition, plenty more space for future Linux distributions. Here's the real problem. Soon after I hit install it said some repositorys require a network connection. It had only one option 'eth0' my motherboard has built in Ethernet but I connect to the net with a wifi card I do not have a cable long enough to reach this computer on the other side of the room. So how was I suppost to continue the setup? I pressed okay hoping it would give up and let me continue the setup but it didn't it said they was an error connecting to the Internet therefore setup could not continue. With only one option: 'Exit Installer'. GRRRR. Interestingly enough after I clicked it the disk drive's light kept flashing but the screen went black forcing me to reboot. Can anyone help me so I can install "The worlds most advanced Linux distribution"*

I started preupgrade with a 200M /boot partition 50% full. According to the instructions, it is supposed to give me the option of downloading the stage2 installer later. It doesn't, and crashes horribly (see below).This worked from FC12 to FC13. Reparititioning will take a day because the FC12 kindly made the root file system LVM and nothing will resize it. (I tried this with FC11 -> 12 and ended up losing everything and rebuilding the 1T disk).
Code:
$ sudo preupgrade
Loaded plugins: blacklist, whiteout

I was happily running F10 and against my better judgement when it offered to upgrade me to F11 I decided to give it a try. The F11 install hung at 893 of 1626 packages installed. Some SE Linux package was in process of install. On the next boot the installer fails to upgrade for a corrupted root. It says I can backtrack and do a full install, but crashes with a bug when I choose backtrack.
So here is my question - Can i edit the command line and tell the installer to full install rather than upgrade? Or am I stuck with downloading a DVD ISO and doing a full install that way. I've done F8, F9 and F10 so full install from DVD doesn't bother me.
I am trying to install Fedora 11 from a DVD. Not the live DVD, the full DVD and it hangs constantly. I had to wait 10 minutes for it to Find Storage Devices, 10 minutes to input a root password and now I am waiting for the drive shares to be setup. It's already been 10 minutes. I verified the disk and everything was fine. Why is this taking so long?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to fedora. I used Fedora 14 on a virtual machine just to mess around with it a little while back but thats about it. As far as linux goes, I just test a bunch but can never seem to pull myself away from windows. I am hoping this is the time but these issues are the weirdest I've seen on any linux distro ever. My GPU (Radeon 5750) is running at 69C idle and the fan is at full speed. I am not overclocking it at all and I'm using the default drivers that came with fedora. It works just fine in windows and a lot cooler. How can I fix this?
I'm running the Gnome 3 desktop version, which I am also getting some graphics artifacts. In the bottom bar I get a dashed white line that comes up every time I boot and goes away when I make the bar expand. Also in the applications window I get the same dashed line at the top of the window and sometimes the top of the scroll bar. So far I really like Gnome 3 (Idk why everyone is whining about it) and I'd like to stick with Fedora, and linux for that matter

One more thing. Let me tell you my mistake. Almost a month ago i installed Apache2 on my Laptop (for LAMP). and now i have to install Apache Tomcat for JSP development. but the problem is that the files made by Apache2 and the PHP5 installation i made are not removed with

So now the apache2 files are superseding the Apache Tomcat. hence i cannot distuinguish between apache2 or apache tomcat when i goto:

Until then, I will have to defect back to Windows.
I disconnect my internal Windows hard drive first. Then run the installer from the Desktop CD. Everything works great.This is approximately the steps I take: I reboot, everything is good. I reconnect my internal hard drive, boot to Windows, reboot back to Kubuntu, everything is still good. I run updates and follow the instructions of the Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto. I reboot again, still no problems. At this point, I figure everything is OK and I have no worries. I boot to Windows and do some work in that environment. The next time I boot to the external Kubuntu hard drive, I get the following errors:
Begin: Starting AppArmor profiles ...
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory

View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to configure my Debian Jessie system in this way.
Two partitions:
1) /boot on /dev/sda1
2) everything else on /dev/sda2
I want to encrypt the second partition with LUKS. And then install over it a LVM volume. Inside the LVM volume i will create the / (root), /var, /opt and /home virtual partitions. In this way, i'll get asked only once for the password to decrypt all partitions. Because if i don't use LVM, then i'll get asked for the password for each encrypted partition.
I can follow and understand almost everything of this HOW-TO for Archlinux: [URL] ....
Only two passages are unclear to me:
1) Configuring mkinitcpio
I don't understand what i should do here in order to complete this. What should i do in Debian to configure "mkinitcpio"? what is the equivalent thing to do here?
I thought that the kernel would automatically recompile itself with all installed modules on the Debian system, once cryptosetup/LUKS or LVM2 get installed.
2) Configuring the boot loader
I don't understand what should i write in /etc/default/grub. Will GRUB automatically load the LUKS and LVM2 modules? Also, I don't think that i could boot the system in this way:
cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:LVM root=/dev/mapper/LVM-????
Actually the "root=" volume is the whole volume to mount as LVM. It isn't the final root partition.
I was using ubuntu fine then I get the message that I only have 19 gb's left . Strage as I had 89 gbs used on a 350 gb partition. So somehow it expanded that fast without me downloading anything. When I loged back in it says I don't have gnome-power installed, or a similar message and I can put in my password but it just takes me back to the login screen. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 AMD64. I did run a check and a huge amount of my data was in .private.
How can i get my ubuntu back? Also is this a bug or just my error, it would be great if it was a bug, so the ubuntu developers can fix it, I'm using an alpha so I did sign up for this.I can login to terminal by pressing cntrl alt f1-f6. And putting in my pass, so i can run commands and edit config files on nano if needed.Even worse news, I cant get my data from this live cd. It says I have set up encryption wrong, and i dont know how to transfer important data to my flash drive using terminal.
I downloaded the Lubuntu iso from http://lubuntu.net. It is 521MB.How much disk space would a full install use? 2GB? 3GB?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running Windows and 9.04 in a dedicated partition on my HP DV1000 (32bit), and I would like to boot to a 10.04 Live CD to make sure that everything will work with the upgrade. But, no matter what I try (unetbootin USB, Linux Mint, CDs of both) I can't get the machine to boot to anything other than the HD.
I did a wubi installation of 10.04 on a Compaq CQ laptop and ran into the same problem. I went into the BIOS on both machines and I think I tried all the different settings, but no go. I must be missing something. Is working through the BIOS the only way to get one's machine to boot from a usb or optical drive, or is there another trick to it?
When installing ubuntu on a dual boot system, I noticed that it had the import option for basically the documents and settings folder from windows, which is brilliant I think, but my question is, if during the installation of ubuntu, I tell it to use the whole drive, will that option still be available? It's basically asking if I can do that before formatting the box.

But then it showed that I'm still using 40G out of 250G of my disk. Why is it like that? Can those file still be recovered? My Windows 7 loader was actually erased. Can I still install Windows 7 even if Ubuntu already used the whole drive? And also, how can I delete partitions to make my HDD turn into a whole and single Drive before I install Windows 7?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrade, I noticed that audio is full of static. It sounds as if one of the sliders has been pushed too far and it's blowing out the sound. I've tried it across several applications(rhythmbox, browser), and all audio is like this.

Is there another audio management system I should be using to try to resolve this or might there be something wrong with the upgrade process?
I managed to get a cheap refurbed netbook recently (Samsung N150) and I'm wanting to put Ubuntu on it. As it's also likely to be used when travelling and have things like chat logs, photos, and other such things I'd like to do full disk encryption. Also I've been pointed towards 10.4 as apparently the 10.10 netbook desktop isn't to everyone's taste.
So I tried using unetbootin to make a bootable 10.4.1 i386 Alternate usb stick, which hit the problem of no cd drive. I found an item to add to the boot (cdrom-detect/try-usb=true) which got it a little further, but at a copying stage it threw an error saying it couldn't copy off the disc.
Finally I tried making a unetbootin of the mini iso (does mini even support full disk encryption?) but that seems to hang after selecting a mirror.
EDIT: Well it seems I was just impatient on the mini ISO and after a few minutes it's gone onto time-zone, though of course this could get rather tiresome without a local mirror, especially given this may go through more than one iteration.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu in WUBI inside Windows, my first question is, can you do a full install to a new partition through the WUBI installation? Or would it be better to partition the disk, and just install Ubuntu, then deal with the MBR issue (been a while since I had a normal install, maybe the boot problems are gone?)? And is there any actual advantage to doing a stand alone install, while still dual booting Windows? Is there any gain from it versus the WUBI install I am running now?
