Fedora Installation :: USB-drive 10 No Support From Mandriva
May 5, 2009
I'm a long-time windows junkie experimenting with Linux in order to broaden my knowledge spectrum. After failed attempts with no real support from Mandriva, Fedora's seemingly idiot-proof USB installation right from windows was a major turn-on to Fedora. I successfully downloaded and installed Fedora 10 i686 with the Live USB installer and, after a few tries and reformats, got it to boot up, if a bit shaky.
However, certain features of the OS seem to be out of place. Most notably, I can't find any options at all in the lists for "add/remove software." They simply come up as "No package cash is available." or something to that effect. Believe it or not, I had the common sense to search around before posting, but most users who posted with this problem ran a Yum update through the terminal and everything came up yippee-skippee. For me, not so much:

I recently bought a Freecom 500GB network drive for backup and sharing files on my home network.I can access it via wireless on my Vista laptop and read/write to it with Dolphin and Krusader in Mandriva. I can also use the sync function in Krusader but it is so slooooow! Therefore I want to use Grsync but for that the drive needs to be mounted, that is where the problem lies!

I have Mandriva 08 and I can't get a MP3 player or a Flash Drive to mount. If I manually mount the Flash drive the "Computer File" won't create a file so I can access it. I get no desktop icons and I have checked the box in "config-whatever", The Flash Drive will appear in HardDrake but the MP3 player will not. The MP3 player will appear in the "Computer File" but will not manually mount.

This is the equivilent of a DJ going into the"dusty records bin"to play an old song.I've got a hard drive that's left over from a Mandriva Spring 2008 computer and I need to copy the photos off it to a DVD and move them to a computer running Ubuntu.I can't seem to get the Ubuntu computer to access what's on the Mandriva drive, so I've loaded Mandriva Spring 2008 on another computer.
I've accessed the photos I need easily enough, but can't copy them to a storage medium so I can move them to the other computer. I've tried two USB devices, an external DVD drive and a flash drive and can't just copy (or drag 'n drop) the files to the other devices.This evening I may try a portable hard drive, again with a USB connection, and see if that works.
If there's a fool-proof way to do this by using a terminal, I'll try that. I haven't been able to devote enough time to Linux to familiarize myself with terminal commands. Or, if there's a program that will run under Mandriva Spring 2008 that will let me accomplish the transfer, I'll try that as well.

If I install let's say Mandriva after Ubuntu, can I then just delete the partitions that it made to get rid of it or will this affect Ubuntu or else how can I get rid of it if I don't want it?

To install VMware Work Station for my Mandriva Linux.
The downloaded file is 'VMware 7.0.1 for Linux'.
'VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.1-227600.x86_64.bundle'
It has the .bundle at the end.
What is .bundle?
How do I install it?
It may be the case my old processor won't support the product.
AMD Athlon 3500++ is my processor. I bought this computer almost 5 years ago.

I'm trying to add mandriva to grub2 and have difficulties..
Mandriva has it own boot partition on sda1 (ext3) Ubuntu boots in /boot on ubuntu's / partition which is sdb6
Mandriva / partition is: sda5 (ext4)
UUID for Mandriva boot partition is: bf53ebd1-4698-4522-ae0d-f9465aa2f0a3 (sda1)
UUID for Mandriva / is: 658bcd3e-9c69-49c9-8da1-a7e0b9723547 (sda5)
UUID for Mandriva swap is: d3bc2559-4f86-4269-bf25-c99e726c8775 (sda7)
Ive made a file which I have put in /etc/grub.d/ so each time I run update-grub2 it also includes this script.
Code:
echo "Adding Mandriva 2010.1" >&2
cat << EOF
menuentry "Mandrivas 2010.1, linux 2.6.33.3" {
[code]....
It gives error kernel panic, and something with initrd beeing shut down before completion

Basically I have been completely unable to install any distro bar those 2 (OpenSuSE 11.2 and Mandriva can't remember what version).
I tried Ubuntu lucid lynx and Maverick Meerkat, Mint 8 (helena) and 9 (isadora), fedora 12 and 13 and even....windows (I know that's not linux but meh).
When attempting to install Ubuntu and Mint I get the fabled errno 5 error. I have tried using 4 different optical drives, I burnt it at slowest possible speed I even used a usb to boot it and still somehow copped the errno 5 error (which is somewhat humorous when it tells me to make sure my cd/dvd drive is ok and i'm using a usb stick) I tried it on 2 different HDD's (both in this computer) 1 a 40gb the other a 1TB. I tried using sony DVD's, Verbatim DVD's and TDK DVD's I even tried using Verbatim Cd's.
When I attempt to install Fedora I get a (sorry as I can not remember the exact error message) cannot copy image from live cd error (or something along those lines) at around 54%.
With windows (again I know it's not linux but it might give some insight into what is actually going on) I get a blue screen of death before first boot EVERY SINGLE TIME and then it just continues to happen, this was on xp and 7.
My only idea I have as to what is happening is that my computer hates me and just likes driving me up the wall for kicks.
Lastly and ever so slightly off topic, if I manage to get another distro to install how do I stop it from killing my bootloader and how do I make that OS appear in my current bootloader.
Specs are as follows:
MOBO: Asus M4A87TD/USB3 CPU: AMD Athlon II x2 245 GPU: Radeon HD5770 RAM: Corsair VS2GB1333D3 2GB (1333MHz) DDR3 RAM, Non ECC Unbuffered, 9-9-9-24, 1.5V PSU: 600 watt shark HDD: West Gate 1TB 7200RPM SATA2 OS: OpenSuSE 11.2 32BIT

trying to understand the two underlined sentences below I got to ask Step by step. I created a new group called usb. I inserted a usb printer and scanner. I tried to find the file usbfs and there is where get stuck already. I only can find a folder with that name. The sentence (3 -) makes almost no sense to me.
a) modify file /etc/fstab clear open terminal, go to etc, su gedit fstab
b) inserting a line yes I understand that!
c) the right path and the number corresponding the "usb" group :
none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=503,devmode=664 0 0
2 - locate file usbfs: in my case is /sys/bus/usb/drivers (I suggest to find the file with a usb device inserted;
3 - modify file /etc/fstab inserting a line containing the right path and the number corresponding the "usb" group :
none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=503,devmode=664 0 0

I had F10 installed, then was tempted to download F11 (Leonidas). I was not happy with the OS, so I reinstalled F10.Now I cannot get my CD-RW Drive or DVD Rom Drive to operate fully. I can open documents saved in a CD but I cannot get any sound from music discs.They were working in the first F10. The icons are showing in "Computer" and appear ok in the Bios. I have tried disconnecting them both, rebooting, then reconnecting, without success. The details are:- Lite-on-CD-RW Drive & DVD Rom Drive unit- Pioneer.

What is the configuration issue in the other-than-Fedora-11 stanza below that prevents that OS from booting? That stanza is taken directly from the /boot/grub/menu.lst of that OS, whose root partition is on sda5. All I get upon choosing the menu entry is a blinking cursor and a steady HD light. obsessing over this for a couple of weeks, reading what I can find about grub configuration but without joy.
Here is /boot/grub/grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.

I recently made the move from windows to Linux and I am happy to having got rid off all the MS stuff. Trying out a few distros I decided on using Ubuntu and Mandriva (wife likes the flashier stuff, what can I say ).
My question is how can I partition my hard disk in such a way that my /home is separate from both the Ubuntu and Mandriva part but accessed by both as my default home folder.

I have used ubuntu for som years now, I thought It could be nice to try a kde focused linux distro, so I installed mandriva spring.
The problem is that only the ubuntu LTS boots, and the mandriva part just stops after (and I don't know where to start, and what is relevant to write)
