I'm trying to create an install DVD for FC 12. This is the command I would normally use to write CDs
Code:
cdrecord dev=1,0,0 Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso
But with a DVD, I'm getting this error message:
Code:
cdrecord: Drive does not support TAO recording.
cdrecord: Illegal write mode for this drive.
I really don't want to read several hours of User Manuals to learn how to write a single DVD. This is a standard thing that everyone does, right? What's the easiest way write an iso file to a DVD?
Trying to create a ks file to install all packages (fedora 12 of course). The file have in it:
%packages @ everything kernel kernel-devel
which used to work in RHEL, but in here, I get the message on screen: "You have specified that the group 'everything' should be installed. This group does not exist. Would you like to continue or abort". so what's the group name/code to install all packages?
I need to install F10 on three computer systems donated recently to a village school - the location has extremely erratic Internet bandwidth, so installation/update through Internet is well nigh impossible.
I have a currently functioning Fedora 10 x86_64 installation at my home.
I wanted to create a bootable DVD of sorts from my home installation, which I can then run on the three machines at the school, and complete the installation. All games, gedit text editor, Firefox (for whatever its worth), eclipse installation, Rhythmbox music player, etc. that is installed on my home system Fedora 10 I want to be able to carry with the DVD.
The HW configurations on the donated machines are extremely basic - AMD 64 bit processors, one has 2GB, two machines have 3 GB RAMs, VGA monitors, one SATA Hard Disk of 80GB each and KBD/Mouse. For the DVD drive I plan to loan out my home one or the installation purposes.
Trying to run Googleearth I got a SELinux denial as I would expect. So I did what I always do, and generated a policy using audit2allow. I have used this method to manage SELinux on various CentOS and Fedora installations before, I don't recognise this problem.I tried the GUI "SELinux Policy Generation Tool" but it closes itself a second after opening so I can't even explore this.
Say I have this computer and this computer has a 1TB hard disk. I install Fedora 13 on this disk and let the installer do as it wishes with this 1TB of space. I'm going to end up with the LVM thingy. (Can you tell yet that I know nothing about LVM?). Can I, at a later date, use some of the available space to create another partition to install another OS on. Can I create multiple partitions to install several other OS's on?

This is error that I keep getting every time. Iam using fedora 10 version and I keep getting this error while i was trying to insatl madplay for vlc source code compilation.

1. No any input to create new username and password when I install X86-64 bit Core 12 And I can not login with root. So how can I login Fedora core 12?
I installed Fedora 15 on a primary partition and expected the install to create a partition boot sector, but it didn't. Did I do something wrong or is this not supported?
I have an apparently stable installation of Xubuntu that I've hand-tweaked in a few ways. I'd like to be able to reinstall this system verbatim on this machine should a disk crash happen, etc.Is there a "standard" method to create an install and/or total-backup CD that would be an instantiation of the currently-installed-and-modified system?
Short question: It has been possible in earlier releases to create boot floppies from CD install version, for those PCs who haven't a bootable CD drive.11.2 is deployed as a DVD iso, but I need CD isos for an older laptop with a bootable CD drive only, not DVD. Is there a similar possibility for 11.2 also available?I want a full install, not the readonly "Live" versions.
I am trying to create an usb install from an gnome-live cd. All I have done is not working:
dd fedora liveusb-creator fusbi linuxlive usb creator unetbootin pendrive
All I can get are errors saying cang find kernel or error like that. I have used linux and windows environment. The iso I am using is fine, I am sure because I have instaled it on two pcs. Iso gnome-live >> usb (bootable to install)
so I created an install CD and installed 11.2, but I'd like to take advantage of all the goodness the 4.2GB install DVD iso has to offer and re-install... but for some reason, I cannot create it (well, at least one that works). I've even tried an 8GB thumb drive using UNetbootin and still nothing.
I've used K3B and Brasero on the laptop I intend to install to burn the CD and DVD (on a low setting), so I know they're not the problem. I checked the md5sum, and it's good, so I know it's not that. I've booted with other Live CDs/DVDs and thumb drives, so I know they're good and the BIOS settings are correct. Again, the problem seems to point to the DVD iso, as I've used the CD iso without a problem.
So, two questions:
1. Is there something I'm not aware of about the DVD iso? 2. Should I leave the installation I used with the CD as is, but use the DVD's info to upgrade it?
I'am denis from indonesia,i need some help to create installation suse 11 a laptop. i have 3 partitions in my laptop. 1st partition for windows 2nd. for Data and 3rd for film. i want to use 1st partition for linux suse only. how to make it.
I'm trying to install OpenSuse 11.2. During installation there's a problem. It offers to create an LVM with encryption. That's fine. The problem is: it only uses 15GB of my 250GB hard drive. When I try to alter the partitions, I can't. When I try to remove the partitions and create new partitions myself it seems OK but a few minutes later the installation quits with 0333. I googled on resizing the LVM, but it brought me nowhere. There seems to be no working manual on how to do that. How do I install my system without having over 90% of my disk unused?
I just requested a CD for the newest Ubuntu and was wondering if it was like the Wubi CD that you get when you download the image off the website. Also if doing a full install would affect another operating system that you are also using (I am running windows 7). Would you need a partition in the hard drive? How do I create a partition? Would I choose which os I wanted a boot up? Also, I was wondering if the CD you get when you request one is 32 or 64 bit.
When i loaded linuxmint i deleted all particans by mistake,since i cant get this wireless to work..i would like to put xp in also,im running a lenovos10e but im not sure how to do this without losing liunxmint10 heres a pic of my gparted
I'm trying to install Slackware 64 on a raid 0 fakeraid, I found out that I need kernel support for that. Dm raid. What I did was, I made a virtual machine with no raid compiled the kernel and created a new iso file wich included in the /kernels folder my own kernel too. I burned the image but on boot I got the "image checksum error..." I got confused by all the stuff I've read about linux booting.I need a simple guide how to make a custom made Slackware iso to boot. How do I generate new checksums, how should I write the iso file to make it work?
I'm trying to install Debian on a USB to create an encrypted partition, I get an error message saying I need to install missing firmware rtl_nic rtl8168d-2.fw.So I download that file and try again this time I get an error " There was a problem reading data from CD Rom" .I not using a CD Rom I put debian on the USB as an ISO file first using Unebutin then tried Rufus.
How do create I customized 1-click-install, with browsers, players,broadcom,kernel-vanilha, specific kernel version, gtk-aurora, virtualbox...? I actually install via terminal, but a 1-click-install will be more smoothly.
I have a small installation problem with openSUSE 11.2 I have read the relevant stuff in the forums for new users. I have downloaded openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586-iso and verified the file using MD5. I am currently running windows XP (SP1) on a Fujitsu Siemens V1000 laptop andI am trying to install linux from my hard drive and not from a DVD drive.
The path to the downloaded file on my windows partition is: e:/OpenSuse/openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso I have initialised installation and selected sda6 as the partition where the sourcefile is located. and when prompted for the directory, I typed " /OpenSuse/openSUSE-11.2DVD-i586.iso " The installations then proceeded through to "Initialising Package Manager" upon which I get the following message:
" Unable to create repository from url' iso:/? iso=openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso&url=hd:/OpenSuse?device=/dev/sda6"
DETAILS: Failed to mount iso:///?iso=openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso & url=hd:/OpenSuse?device=dev/sda6 on: Unable to find iso filename on source media.
History: - File:/openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso not found on medium 'hd:///OpenSuse?device=dev/sda6'
There is an option to try again at which point an additional dialog box appears and I have the opportunity to change things. Other than that, the only option is to cancel and terminate the installation. I've tried the process around 3 times, but if I'm doing the same thing then not surprising I'm getting the same result.
I am about to install a test machine for testing out system configurations and software modifications.Instead of installing a virtual machine I wish to create a secondary partition which holds a "restore image" of the "clean" system. Also I would like to be able to select a system restore function in Grub while booting.
I want to install SLES11 with my usb key but I couldn't to make it bootable. Because my server are only a cdrom drive, not dvd... I read the following document : SuSE install from USB drive - openSUSE but it doesn't run! So I can mount/umount the usb and linux could see him:
Code:
mount /dev/sda /mnt/usb
but the fsck.vfat doesn't run :
Code:
fsck.vfat /dev/sda1 open /dev/sda1:No such file or directory
I tried most of the methods using a graphical interface to create a live USB through a 64-bit dvd image to install opensuse 11.2 including unetbootin, Win32DiskImager, Mandriva's Seed... Everything failed, so I'm left with the option to do it through the command prompt. There is a dd tool for Windows, and I got the command line instructions in the Live USB page. One thing I don't understand is that how is insert my path of the iso image for this command in Windows: # dd if=/path/to/iso/openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync; Should I replace the bit # dd if=/path/to/iso/openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso, with like something like # dd if= CDownloadsOpensuse11.2x-64.iso?
Trying to install on an older Dell D600 laptop. During the install process on the system probing screen I get the following error message: Unable to create repository from URL 'cd:/'
Then it provides some details.Details: [|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL{s} I'm not a computer guy - just trying to set up for my son.
I am trying to add a few additional repositories to SLES 11 64-bit but I can't seem to get them added. I am trying to add Index of /repositories/server:/database but I get the error "Unable to create repository from [URL]... Try again? So I browsed that repository and then tried to add Index of /repositories/server:/database/SLE_11 but still got the error message with this new URL listed instead. I tried just the 11.2 repository and it worked - Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse.
How or what do I need to do in order to get Index of /repositories/server:/database added to my repository?
I downloaded openSUSE 11.3 to my MacBookPro, whose disk drive has been broken for some time now. I want to install to new msi cr610 laptop that shipped WITHOUT windows. I could order the box with an install disk and printed manual, but if there's any way of creating a bootable USB stick from the download I did to my mac, that would be great.
I want to mount my partition that was previously under Windows. I have mounted it through YaST2 to /docs with ext4, made formatting, the folder is shown, but I can not create any file or enter any folder on it (however I can enter folder /docs where only 1 folder "lost and found" exists.
