I have recently joined a Chinese company for a short assignment which might last for about an year. Though my job is mostly non-computer based but I have to use the computers there for basic computing, esp. for internet access. As all the computers in that company are in Chinese language . . its very difficult to work on them. So, I thought of using a live cd based Linux to solve my problem without disturbing the OS (chinese win xp) installed on the computers. My first preference was Puppy. It ran well on the computers but some how internet was not accessible. I tried its network wizard and tried DHCP but in non of the cases it solved the problem. I later tried an Ubuntu live cd also but it didnt work.
Any other live cd ? I am on leave these days . . . so wish to learn abt all this and equip my self b4 i join !
Is it possible to update Mandriva, not using a live internet connection. I'm wondering if i can update Mandriva offline or it is possible to save the my current PC updates and install it when i plan to reinstall my distro?
Is there a Linux Live Weather Radar Application for an InFocast Internet Media Display?I would like to receive live weather radar for area code 205 or 35125 zip code.
I want to view live utilization of Internet usage like the wetool in smoothwall. This admin can view www and any other protocol Internet usage by end user
I just downloaded OpenSuse 11.1 64 bit live cd from it's official site.I have live usb creater in my xp box , with the help of which I successfully created live USB for fedora 11 earlier. Now the problem is whenever I try to create live usb using Opensuse live ISO image after extracting all files to usb , it gets failed.The same thing is happening with OpenSolaris 11 live cd iso image. Does this mean that live usb creater I have, was only foe Fedora distros?
Os version: fedora 12 (x86)I wanted to resize my root partition so i read from internet that using gparted through live cd could do it, so i did the same. However after rebooting, i once again came across the screen i hate the most:(the black screen with grub prompt): grub> i don't know if there is still a way to recover my previous installation. also tell which is the best and most reliable way to resize ext4 root partition so that i do not make the same mistake in future.
On trying to install Ubuntu 10.10, one PC was fine. I attempted to install it on a Lenovo Q150 using the Ubuntu Live CD, but it did not recognize a network connection. When the same PC is running Windows 7, the network connection is fine (it recognizes my NAS drive also).Has anyone else had this problem/found a solution? I'm sure that someone else has posted this, but a couple of hours' searching revealed nothing.
Is there any point to running a personal firewall when using a linux live CD or DVD with a dialup internet connection? My chief concern is compromise of the underlying Windows installation. I do not need corporate-grade security.
I successfully booted OpenSuse 11.2 from DVD. But I could not configure my wireless internet connection. YAST said it couldn't configure it because something else was controlling that (Network Manager? something like that)How can I configure this. Related issue. When booting from DVD is there a way to save configuration settings so I don't have to start from scratch the next time I boot from DVD?
Installing from Live USB: Installing from USB on my desktop (used this method for laptop install) goes without a hitch. EXCEPT, I notice there is no support for my wireless card chipset (Atheros 7413, used /bin/lspci to find). I download the drivers for Linux, but I need Make to build the drivers...ok. I download the Make files from my laptop, make coffee, slap the makefiles onto a flash drive and run the configure file on my desktop version of SUSE. Whoops, need a c compiler (odd that openSUSE did not come with gcc? bit confused on that). If you can't tell by now, I've been using linux for less than a month so I am what you would call a noob? After the lack of c compiler, I drove to my office to snag some DVDs to download the DVD iso image, hoping it would have some form of c compiler/make packaged, since the description does say the DVD has more software (can't find any prebuilt versions of either...?)
Installing from DVD: This was my next step. I wrote the iso image to a DVD and proceeded to boot from DVD. The installer fails at the system analysis, saying it cannot "create a repository". writing the iso to a second DVD produces the same result. Googling has not yielded a solution. tl;dr can't use openSUSE on my desktop because my wireless chipset is not suported by SUSE. I need Make to build the drivers, but I need a c compiler to compile Make, and I need the internet to get both for my machine.
My live disk cannot get an internet connection. I am using a self-burned Meerkat live CD, and it will not enable networking. Is there some kind of code fu to get this going? I have tried right clicking and selecting "Enable Networking," but it won't take. It still insists the networking is disabled. The reason I need the connection is because I have to install. I have a Netgear wireless router with a network, and a wired LAN to connect to.
I am completely new to ubuntu, got fed up with windows, so thinking of switching to ubuntu. But, I have a problem, I don't know how to connect to internet in ubuntu. I have a cable broadband connection, and I have to put in my user id and password which I got from my isp before each internet session on the login page. how can I connect to the internet. I am using ubuntu live boot from my pen drive.
can't access internet. The up and down icon appears by the network connection (upper right hand corner). When I review connection properties, I see that the computer has a valid address, subnet, gatway, dns, etc... But it still can't connect to the internet. I can't ping external addresses either. But I can access internal addresses (local router).
I can't seem to find this anywhere. I have burned Debian 5.06 for i386 and trying to login when running the live cd. What is the username and password to get in?
edit.... I found 'user' and 'live' but they don't work.
I need aufs support/patch for kernel 2.6.34.1 as i i need to create a live linux distro for my organization and linux live scripts (the scripts which I am using for creating live linux distro) require aufs and squashfs support. There is a directive for squashfs in kernel configuration file but nothing for aufs and the patch available at linux-live site seems not to work.
I've done a good few ubuntu installations for friends and colleagues and now my Dad wants in on the action. His PC is more than capable of running ubuntu 32 bit BUT I've hit a brick wall I've never come across before. I've burnt a CD image of the 10.04 iso from [URL] on my ubuntu box and for some reason, his PC just won't boot from it. If I select the option to manually select the boot source, all I see is the hardware monitor telling me things like CPU temperature. As for the Live USB - nothing whatsoever. Is it possible that I've managed to corrupt the iso file somehow?
Live CD: I dowloaded the ISO, burned it to CD, booted from this CD. It starts to load and I can see the purple background with the loading icons. Everything seems normal. But instead of ending up with the login screen, it ends up with a screen that says 'Please remove all bootup media and hit ENTER' or something like this. So I hit enter and then it shuts off my computer. That's it.
Live Stick: So I tried another option and created a stick with 'usb-creator.exe' that is on the CD. Then I start from that stick, but all I end up is a line of 'Syslinux bla bla copyright 20xx-2011'. That's it. Then it does nothing anymore. The cursor is blinking, but no prompt or whatsoever and keyboard input doesn't do anything.
Now something weird: When I insert Live CD and Live Stick at the same time and then boot my computer, then it boots into Ubuntu. Obviously it loads the first parts from CD and then the rest from stick. Because when I'm then in Ubuntu and try to format the stick, it says it can't do so, because there's system files from that stick in use.
I have a linux box (fedora) with two ethernet cards eth1 and eth2. On eth1 I successfully configured a PPPOE internet connection. Such that from the server I can browse the internet. On eth2 I wired it to a wireless router essentially to provide the wireless cloud. On eth2 I also configured dhcp, such that the Linux box is both PPPOE and DHCP server.However my clients on the LAN cannot access the Internet.
On passing the routing command I get Destination Gateway Iface 196.44.x.y 0.0.0.0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 eth2 (my subnet) 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ppp0.
The router (functioning as a wireless access point mainly) has a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.2 and eth2 has IP address 192.168.1.1. The dhcp file running on Linux has been set with option router (Gateway) 192.168.1.1. I cannot figure out how to correctly set the routing table such that my clients on wireless can access the internet cloud. I googled and googled but no solid solution. Any suggestions?
I finally decided to check out all this "Linux is super customizable and better in that and that...".Which leads me to. I downloaded a Debian Live CD from Debian web-site(duh...).
I downloaded the standart version burned it to a CD a booted form it and selected "Live".. It does some operations and just gives me The black screen with command line...The first and newbie(in this area) reaction was... " Wtf? , okay i know this is Linux and all,but come on..." , so i typed a few commands which did not exist apart from "help" assuming i would find a command to start up the Graphical side of the OS,yet... it was not there.
P.S. I might have downloaded a distribution without the Graphical side of the OS, but they would probably call it Command-something instead of "Standart install".
I'm using the Ultimate Boot CD, and I've added a bunch of customized .iso's to it. I can boot into those .iso files fine, but most of them are mini-versions of Linux that are designed to run off of a CD. When they try to boot, they try to run off the CD (which obviously isn't there since they're on a USB drive) and then either freeze, or don't work in some other way.
Is there any way to edit the .iso files to tell them they're booting off of a USB drive? I'm assuming there'd be something somewhere in the boot configuration files to do this. Where would that be? I would think it'd be different for different ones, but are there some places that are standard for live CDs? What would I have to change? EDIT: Just to make exactly what I'm asking clear...I know there's stuff all over the place on how to boot a .iso from USB. That's not the problem, I can already do that. What I'm wondering is how to make the OS stored in the .iso realize that it's booting from USB and not CD?
I have burned the Linux Mint 8 "Helena" iso image to a CD no problem but when i try to run the "Live CD" a login box appears and no matter what i do i keep getting "Authentication Failure"?So i can't proceed running the "Live CD".Could someone help me out here please and tell me what i am doing wrong. I just want to run the "Live CD" before i decide whether to install the OS to the hard drive.
i just wanted confirmation that what i've done should work, here's the deal, i want to make a backup of my entire linux installed system using tar and gzip, tar to keep it all nice and ordered and to preserve the permissions, and gzip to compress the resulting file.
now down to business, i have booted into an arch linux install CD so as to have a command line separate from that of my standard installed system, my HDD layout (as mounts in my installed system) is like this
Code: /dev/sda1 /boot /dev/sda2 swap /dev/sda3 / /dev/sda4 /home /dev/sdb1 (unknown partition on external HDD left over from fiddling around) /dev/sdb2 main storage on external HDD
my root partition was corrupted after loss of power, so now my gentoo system won't boot. I need a Live CD that can fsck it back up, but ubuntu never boots on my machine.
I'm trying to create a 32GB USB Clonezilla Live disk. I'm logged in as root on Lenny.I created a new partition on the USB drive using fdisk, set the id to b (w95 fat32), and toggled the boot tag.The instructions on the Clonezilla website describes using the mkfs.vfat command to create a file system but Lenny returns a "command not found" result when I try. I tried using mkdosfs but it also returned "command not found".Can mkdosfs format a disk with the bootable tag toggled?
I am trying to make a livecd. I have found information on [URL].. I have downloaded the aufs,squashfs,livescripts from there. I am trying to compile the kernel on my own and include it.
The requirements included in the website are: Your distro must use kernel 2.6.24 or higher (in order to use sqlzma patch)
* all the following things must be compiled directly into kernel: (these options are usually compiled so you shouldn't have problems) - ext2 (CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y) - tmpfs (CONFIG_TMPFS=y)
