General :: Reinstall Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Without Erasing Partition
Feb 5, 2011I've had problems with my Ubuntu partition on my computer, so I have decided that I might have to format the partition or reinstall Ubuntu.
My problem is that I have files on my partition that I would like to save. I've tried every tool I've found that allows Ext2 to be read in Windows, but none of them work for me. The best I have gotten is that I would be able to see the folders in /, but that is it. I was wondering if it was possible to reinstall Ubuntu without having to erase the partition.

Nov 28, 2010GNU bash 3.1.17. I say there must be, in bash, a keystroke combination that does this: I type say, two words at the prompt. Then I press HOME. And now, holding down some control key, I press a key that erases from current cursor position up to the first blank (the space between the two words). If I am right, which is the key combination? You could as well refer me to the bash manual section where the different combinations, one of them a control key are listed.

Feb 5, 2011I have two harddrives installed on my HTPC. I am using the smaller (120gb) to run the OS (kubuntu 10) the larger (1 tb) I want to use to store all of my media.
However....
The second hard drive has THREE linux Distros on it (from me testing and playing and making decisions) and I CANT figure out how to get them off.....
The hard drives are SATA and plugged in in the correct order.
I have tried fdisking and reformating which seemed to work, but when I boot it still asks me which OS i want to boot to.
Right now I am trying to zero out the hard drive by using ths
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
I typed that in as root about 15 minutes ago and hit enter. it hasn't said anything since. no command prompt or anythng. I am hoping it is working, we will see.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Wodim - Writing Erasing Errors In K3B
Nov 12, 2010I've been running Lenny for quite a while and have always been plagued by strange CD writing/erasing errors in K3B. I also tried erasing my CDRWs using wodim from the command prompt but had erratic results there also. I was researching these problems on Google recently and finally found a solution as well as an explanation of the cause of all the difficulties. Go here [URL], do some reading and then download/install cdrtools-3.00 from the link on the main page. The package did all the work for me including updating the default programs in K3B - now everything works as it should. I sincerely hope Debian will reconsider the trouble-prone fork of the original cdrecord (wodim) and make Jorg Schilling's excellent cdrecord the package of choice for future releases of Debian.
View 14 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Erase External HD W/o Erasing Main Drive?
Apr 12, 2010I have an external hard drive I use for backups. This drive has entire operating system on it(don't know which one, but I think it's intrepid), from when I did a complete backup eons ago. I have added new stuff since then. I tried to erase the system files on it, since they take up space and aren't likely from my current system. I don't run the drive all the time, only when I'm backing up files. The rest of the time, it's off. When I did this, I couldn't run any programs on my main computer( the bin directory was gone), and it wasn't in my trash on the main drive or the external drive. I tried re-installing without erasing my home directory on the main drive; it went okay, until I tried to open a file.
My /home apparently had nothing in it, so i downloaded my backup files, only to run out of room. The files were there; I just couldn't see them. I tried to open several programs, but was told I didn't have root access. Finally, I just reformatted the whole drive and re-installed everything. What I'd like to know is:1. How do I clear the junk from the external drive without hurting the main drive?
2. Why did erasing the old bin file on the external drive whack the same file on the main drive?3.Several times before, I have upgraded or re-installed xubuntu, leaving my home directory intact. The upgrade either can't find my files, or forgets half my settings. How can I keep my files and settings? I hate having to re-install everything from scratch each time I upgrade. I thought having a separate /home directory was supposed to protect all that.
Ubuntu Installation :: Getting The 10.10 Without Erasing The Data In Other NTFS Drives?
Oct 21, 2010I'm using windows 7 now and I want to install ubuntu as the main OS to the current C:drive(which has installed windows currently) but with keeping the data in other ntfs drivers(D:, E:, F: ) on my hard disk. I can't take backups of all data in other drivers and if that data erased with ubuntu installation I will face a very big problem in future. So how to install ubuntu 10.10 only for a one drive(c: drive) without erasing the data on other ntfs drivers? and I uses nvidia 8 series graphic card and are there any special things to follow to install it's official linux drivers(.run) or is it enough to use default drivers on ubuntu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Netrwork Manager Erasing Wep Keys
Apr 19, 2011I am running Karmic on a Lenovo s10e. I have been trying to reconnect to some wep encrypted ap's. There have been recent changes to the routers. In some cases my mac is barred, also some have changed their mac as well. Typical behavior of network manager on failed connection is to ERASE THE WEP KEY.
I call this worse than a bug, I really get tired of typing in the same key over and over! I think there is a basic misunderstanding about what the software is supposed to do. Even if there an error in the key, having the old one there to edit would be a huge help. IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION, NETWORK MANAGER SHOULD NEVER, EVER ERASE THE WEP KEY. Typing in 26 hex digits (for a long key) is needless aggravation.
If I am doing something wrong, someone please tell me. My point still stands. Even if I am doing something wrong, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ERASING THE WEP KEY.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Erasing Packages - Getting "Software Index Is Broken"
Jan 31, 2010I was going to install a certain application, and apt-get said I had unsatisfied dependencies. So I typed
Code: sudo apt-get install -f
But the overall size of the packages it was going to install was quite substantial, so I renounced this idea and chose "No". Now I've got problems installing software - I keep getting "Software index is broken" message. I found this thread which suggests I use 'apt-get install -f'. But as I've said, the problem is that I no longer need those tons of packages that would be installed in this case. Is there a way to erase the list of packages marked for installation or maybe there's some other way to fix that?

General :: Cups Error With LaserJet 1012 / "client-error?
Jan 29, 2010I've been switching out computers to the Ubuntu distro and so far it's been very successful until this recent snag! As I am trying to have a printer plugged in through USB on one computer and shared on the other! I have the USB on the second computer and it found the printer just fine, no problems and nothing else I had to install! I then went to the first computer and tried to add the printer through the CUPS website using all the proper addresses and queue names and I receive CUPS "client-error-not-possible". I have read other threads on this very same problem but to be honest they just make no sense whatsoever to me! I was thinking of just giving up and using a print server but I know that I will run into the same snag as even then I still need CUPS.
