General :: Installed 10.10 Ubuntu On SDHC Card - But Still Boots On Main Drive

Mar 6, 2011

I have an 8 gig ssd Dell vostro that has been running ubuntu linux successfully for several months. Linux is the only O.S. on the machine. Wishing to have more room I inserted a new 32 Gig SDHC card in the card slot and did an ext4 format and then did an install using the 10.10 disk that did the original install. Everything seemed to proceed as expected, but it rebooted using the 8 Gig drive. The 32 Gig card appears to have all the proper files. How do I get it to boot from that card?

General :: Recover A SDHC Card - After Getting A Buffer I/o Error Mesg From Dmesg(1)?

May 24, 2011

After reading a SDHC (camera) card with my computer in a non-HC compatible card reader, i guess i destroyed the partition table.

After getting a SDHC-compatible reader i found it seems there is no part. table on the card and no fdisk(1), badblocks(1) can read that card.

Seems they will wait forever to get a part table.

dmesg says:

How to recover the card?

Ubuntu :: Format A SDHC Card To Read As A SD Card?

Dec 17, 2010

I am wondering if it would be possible to format an 8g SDHC card in a way that it will be able to be written to and read by an SD reader?

Reading about SDHC vs SD suggests that the only difference is the block/cluster/byte configurations. Is that true?

Could I format the 8g FAT32 SDHC with gparted to a 1g FAT16 partition with the rest of the space left un-formatted so an SD reader could handle it?

Fedora Installation :: Installing On A SDHC Card - Installer Appears To Want To Install To Both SD Card And Also USB Stick

Jul 21, 2010

I have an EeePC 4g netbook which only has a 4Gb hard drive and I thought I would like to install Fedora 13 on an 8 Gb SDHC card and use it to boot the netbook.

As neither the netbook nor I have an optical drive, I made a bootable USB memory stick using Unetbootin which boots the netbook and could be used like a live CD to install Fedora.

On booting with the live USB stick, with the blank SD card in place, and clicking on the install icon, the installation starts but then there are 2 problems; the first is that the installer appears to want to install to both the SD card and also the USB stick. There is a tick in the box beside the USB stick which I can't remove.

I decided to ignore that and put a tick in the box beside the SD card but when it got to the point where it creates partitions it said "Could not find enough free space for automatic partitioning. Please use another partitioning method"

Surely 8 GB is more than enough space for partitioning, so where am I going wrong and why does it want to install on the USB stick as well?

Ubuntu :: SDHC Card Not Mounted?

Fedora Installation :: Using A SDHC Card For The /home Partition ?

Jul 16, 2009

When installing Fedora 11 (Gnome, from live CD), is it possible to use a SDHC card for the /home partition?

The reason I'm asking: having heard that Fedora 11 should support the EeePC 701, I decided to try the installation, following this guide. I created the partitions as in the guide, with the exception that in the place of a 16 gb secondary SSD I have a 16 gb SDHC card. The installation ends in an unhandled exception.

I tried various different partitioning systems, always however putting the /home partition on the SDHC card, because if I select only the machine's 4 gb SSD to be used in the installation, I'm told that there is insufficient space. Whatever I try, I always get the unhandled exception error. So, I'm wondering if this is due to trying to use the SDHC card for the /home partition.

I'm afraid I didn't save the error message details, and since installed OpenSUSE on the eeePC, but this started bugging me.

Fedora Installation :: Booting From Memory Card SDHC ?

Oct 24, 2009

I would like to install fedora onto a memory card 16Gb kingstone SDHC that I use in a ACER aspire one

I followed the instruction on the website and I found the following problem:

The wireless and Ethernet hardware where either not found or, if they were found, they did't work and there were no possibilities to make it work.

The strange thing is that almost every time after I attempted to boot form the memory when booting window as usual, the Ethernet hardware was not found anymore also under window!

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Mounting A 16GB SDHC Card On 11.3 Laptop ?

Jan 5, 2011

I have an HPDV7 running 11.3.

I have a new 16GB SDHC memory card.

It is formatted FAT-32 LBA

When I plug the the card into the DV7's internal MMC/SD card slot, it automounts as /dev/mmcbkl0p1.

I can then access files (camera images) on the card with Dolphin, etc.

When I plug the card into an external card reader(USB interface), automount fails and I can see a long string of messages from dmesg. It is attempting to mount it as /dev/sdd, I see numerous I/O errors as it attempts to read various sectors.

The card reader is a Kingston FCR-HS219/1.

The 16GB SDHC card in the Kingston card reader combo works on my WinXP machine, so (apparently) the combo does work.

A 2GB SD card (FAT16) in the Kingston reader works on both WinXP and the HPDV7 11.3 laptop.

This little darling will check the r/w performance of HC memory cards....in some fashion or other. As [mis-] fortune would have it, I own a failed TRANSCEND 16G SDHC SERIES 6 memory card. Posting to the HMC-150 video camera users group on the diagnosis. I really, really need some expert feedback on the interpretation of the analysis generated by the Drive Utility. Posting attached screen shots of: LS-1 Bad TRANSCEND SDHC and LS-2 GOOD TRANSCEND SDHC.

Fedora :: Reading SDHC Camera Card - Most Of The Image Is A Grey Block

Sep 29, 2010

I have tried putting the SDHC card in before switching on laptop, after, unmounting and remounting several times... on the odd occasion (1/10?) it reads fine, but more often than not, i can see thumbnails of all the images but on opening the file it comes out wrong...either most of the image is a grey block - so can see a tiny bit of sky then its as if it hasn't rendered the whole image...or, the image is striped horizontally, with as if a film negative has been shredded and then misaligned with the colours going wrong...is there an update, something to install to fix this? ETA: - its not the card which works perfect on other laptops and its not the card reader it opens fine in windows 7 on the same computer.

Fedora Hardware :: Aspire One (A110) Suspend Fails With SDHC Card In LH Slot.

Dec 25, 2009

F12 on my aspire one (A110, the original 8Gb SSD model) works well with only one significant problem.

Suspend fails; the screen fades to black, backlight stays on, macine stops responding to keyboard/mouse/powerswitch and just hangs (for at least an hour... longest I left it). Only thing that works is a 5 second click of death on the powerswitch. Plus an FSCK on at least one occasion after reboot. I have not been able to check if SSH and shutdown possible (on vacation) plus have logs go to a tmpfs (to save my SSD) so no log info. Similarly I cannot confirm if this affects hibernate because I run without a swapfile (SSD again, i.5Gb ram installed and I have never come even close to running out of memory).

But I think I have the culprit anyway:[url]

As described there; shutdown fails if there is a mounted card in the cardreader slot (/dev/mmcblk0) My system has a 4Gb SDHC card in the LH slot with a single XFS filesystem; which has my homedir on it; if I unmount that filesystem (but do not remove the card) shutdown and restore appear to work properly. But if the filesytem is mounted I get the bsod. Linked bug suggests this is restricted to large filesystems (?SDHC?) but I have not fully confirmed, although that matches my situation.

Posting here to see if anyone has any further info/workarounds, to ensure the fedora crew are aware that this appears to affect F12 (and is a regression, F11 suspended fine) and make sure it is documented somewhere. The linked bug also states similar bad suspend activity on other netbooks.

I'll try some other variations (and see if it also happens with USB sticks/RH cardrader, and report back here.

Ubuntu Installation :: Setup Default Boots To Main HDD With Windows 7

Mar 18, 2010

How can I set up my pc where it default boots to my main HDD with Windows 7, and a secondary HDD with ubuntu after pressing F12 or something? I was going to just do a dual boot, but I remembered I had this extra HDD sitting around (which I was 'borrowing' from walmart for something I can't remember and lost the receipt =s) so I figured I'd just install ubuntu to it and dual boot like that.

EDIT: Disregard that. Just installed Ubuntu to my second HDD and it booted to the grub loader, which had the Windows 7 option in it. However, I do have one more question: as I'm still using the Windows 7 RC (which expires pretty soon), will a clean install of Windows 7 overwrite the grub loader seen on startup? If so, how do I go about booting back into the second HDD to reinstall grub?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video Card Died New Card Boots To Black?

Jul 15, 2010

My video card developed problems, so I followed the suggestion in this thread:

Quote: Boot into recovery mode, then choose root, for a command prompt and enter
Code: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

but my ubuntu 10.04 32-bit system still won't boot. Shortly after the ubuntu logo comes up, before the login, my screen goes black and there is no more video signal. What else can I do to reset the video configuration? The card only has this info on it: I could put the card back in the system, reboot, and then pre-configure the system to drop to the intel 865G on-board video, but the msi card has intermittent problems and will spontaneously re-boot several times during the first ten minutes of turning on the system.

General :: Tried To Install Mint To Flash Drive / Can't Boot From Main Hard Disk

Jan 15, 2011

I wanted to install a Linux distro to a flash drive so that I can have a portable OS with all my settings, programs, etc. wherever I go. So I fired up a Linux Mint Live CD and installed Mint to the flash drive, and this seems to work OK. But now, whenever I try to boot up my system normally without the flash drive plugged in, it doesn't seem to work. It basically hangs for a bit, and then I get the following prompt:

However, when I try powering my system up when the USB is plugged into the computer, it gives me an option between using the OS installed on my USB and the OS installed on my HD. Selecting the latter, everything loads up just fine. I'm guessing that installing Mint to the flash drive somehow messed with my native Grub installation.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installed, But Still Boots Straight To XP?

Jan 11, 2010

I've searched and haven't found a solution for this one yet, but here goes. I took a 160GB hard drive and split it into 4 partitions, 1 for Windows XP, 1 for Ubuntu, 1 for swap and 1 for future use (possible Hackintosh installation??).I installed Windows XP first, downloaded all my updates, etc. Then, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and selected the Ubuntu partition. After installing it, when I reboot the machine, it just boots straight into Windows XP, and it doesn't give me the option to choose which installation I want to use.I wanted GRUB; I know the installation is there because when I boot with the LiveCD, it shows up

Ubuntu :: Installed On USB, WinXP No Longer Boots?

May 23, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a USB hard drive after booting the desktop installer ISO on a USB flash stick. My laptop already had Windows XP installed on the internal hard drive and i did not load Ubuntu onto that disk. I can no longer boot the Windows OS. My laptop shows a grub rescue prompt with "no such device" error. I can mount the internal hard disk ("system drive") and see all the Windows files from within the Ubuntu desktop installer. Is there a way to restore my Windows system drive to boot or do I need to reinstall?

Ubuntu Installation :: Installed Lucid Lynx 10.04 No Longer Boots

Aug 7, 2011

I installed lucid lynx over a year ago on a IBM A20m laptop. I've been happily using ubuntu up to now until yesterday when I installed Tor and Torbutton. When I rebooted, I got a blank screen after the IBM startup routine. Thinking that somehow the system got corrupted by my Tor installation, I decided to reinstall lucid lynx from the CD. Surprise! The install CD also gives a blank screen!

I hit a key to get the menu and and the three first three choices all result in the same blank screen:
* Try Ubuntu without installing
* Install Ubuntu
* Check disk for defects

To help debug this, I tried setting the F6 option nomodeset and I removed "quiet splash" from the boot options.

Ubuntu :: Installed An Nvidia Driver For 9.10. Now Terminal Appears When Computer Boots Up

May 15, 2010

I'm not sure what Nvidia driver I installed the other day, but it's messed things up. After Ubuntu boots up and asks for login, I am greeted with terminal. Setting 1152Xwhatever resolution failed. Setting to 1024X768. My xorg.conf.old file is completely empty, so I have no idea what the original settings were. I have tried removing and reinstalling xserver.xorg but that hasn't seemed to get me anywhere. I have also used the "apt-cache search nvidia" command to see what drivers could be installed, but every single driver that I attempt to remove isn't installed.
