I currently run CentOS 5.4 and I want to create an image of my current hard drive so that I can play it in a VM Player (VirtualBox).
What utility can I use to create a disk image? Also, Since i'm only using 20gb. I think I want to make a "sparse" file so that the image only takes up about 20gb.
Now... if there is an easier way to do this... let me know. I tried a few tutorials online with no progress. I spent all day yesterday trying to figure this out. Literally, all day.
I may require some aid in installing Fedora 13 (via a burned CD iso image) on a double boot system with Windows 7 as default. After going through the keyboard mapping and time-zone selection, I had the option of shrinking my Windows to accommodate Fedora, which I chose. The following selection appeared:
/dev/sda1.ntfs 0MB
/dev/sda2.ntfs 0MB
/dev/sda3.ntfs 0MB
If I try to decrease any of them, this communication materialises: Error: new size same as old size. So I canceled the installation set-up and rebooted Windows. I'm quite new to alternative operating systems (having used Windows all my life) and would appreciate a concise and legible answer.
I am trying to use an ATI Radeon x300 graphics card with my current system setup with fedora 12 but i am having an openGL issue. I am trying to create a 3D model using comsol and i get an error like:
Failed to initialize 3D graphics. OpenGL not fully supported.
This is a hardware/software issue with the graphics card... not the program COMSOL. How could i enable openGL support to correct this issue?
I reloaded my PC onto a new disk then put the old disk back in the PC to recover old files. I kept the same pc name. The OS setup routine appears to have used my PC name (stiffler) to create the LVM names.
[root@stiffler ~]# pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda2 vg_stiffler lvm2 a- 232.31g 0
/dev/sdb2 vg_stiffler lvm2 a- 232.63g 0
So the volume group name on both of my disks has the same name!
I'm booted to the correct one, but I would like to access the second one.
How do I rename the other one so I can gain access to it by a unique name!?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow does one access a Virtual Box installed Fedora system? I'd like to be able to ssh into this system (locally) but I've no idea how to do this. There is an ip address of 10.0.2.15. Ping doesn't work (ping 10.0.2.15). Should I just go ahead and assign a 192. address to this box before I go any further? It would seem that at this point the system isn't actually a part of my local network and I don't imagine it would be unless it has a 192 address.

I have no idea what services are shoot down or not recognized since the start screen starts with the blue and fedora logo one.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis probably isn't the best way to go about this, but I am pretty nooby. I took the hard drive with Ubuntu install and made it the second SATA drive, and then put a new SATA drive in as the first and installed Fedora on it.Now I want to access my files from the Ubuntu drive and put them on the new drive but when I try to access it, I can look at some files but the majority of them (like my music and a lot of my documents) it says that I don't have permission.Is there some way I can get to these files? I tried searching but I couldn't find anything relevant
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make my computer an access point for a PS3 to connect to directly. I'm not too bothered about it behaving as a router, just a direct connection would be sufficient. I have installed hostapd from slackbuilds.org and followed the guide given at [URL]. Hostapd seems to work ok - it creates a new interface called mon.wlan0 and I can see the access point from my netbook but I can't connect to it. I think the problem is with dhcpd.

I am coming from Windows XP Pro, on the same machine (and where I am writing this post from) so the internet clearly works on XP. On F13, the eth0 connection is activated and the drivers for the NIC chip were installed with the OS. The NIC is Intel Pro/100 VE. The problem that occurs is that the system updater (in GNOME) can access the internet, and installed a bunch of updates after installing the OS. I know it can get to the internet because the updates worked and in the System Monitor, I can see both uploading and downloading occurring during the updates. Now the problem is that when I open FF, I can't seem to get to pages, and I get the usual FF error (pic -- [URL]). However, I CAN get to [URL] as well as [URL] , but I cannot access several other subdomains on fedoraproject.org . I also cannot get to any other page online, ([URL] for example).

I used to know how to access and rw other linux drives and do the fstab magic. For some reason I've lost my touch. I just want the drive to automount and have full access. I don't need a beginners tutorial on mkdir and fdisk -l. Is there a foolproof way to get my drives to do what I want? I dual boot fedora and ubuntu, but have the same issues on both.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my system from 13.0 to -current using slackpkg.

And then the system would not boot and gives a libblkid.so.1 related error.

I planned to get it using popen(). I was success popen("top | grep Mem", "r") with top command. But are there a way to take such information using "htop".

I would like to copy my system into a DVD that I can later use as a bootable disk. Having such a disk could be handy, as it would contain current software upgrades.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere is what I would like to pursue: I would aim to create a USB drive which a system can boot from if needed. However, this system would not be the generic Lucid 10.04 iso, it would have specific packages that my current system has. Also, it would start up and run with my current system settings if possible.
I did look into Reconstructor, but it doesn't appear that that would have the capibility of changing the default settings to match my current system's settings. Also, it looked like there wasn't a way to upload a list of current packages of my system (I would have to manually select each package, taking quite a while). So is there any way to make a bootable USB matching my current system? Or is reconstructor the closest thing to that kind of customiz-ability?
Which commands do you use to output the current users logged into the system and accessing a specific file?
