General :: Migrating From Windows To OpenSuSe
Jun 26, 2011I'm running Windows 7 (on my Acer Extensa 7630EZ) at the moment but I realized that I'm using mostly Linux programs (including the Linux shell through Cygwin) so I'm considering migrating to Linux (probably OpenSuse?). While this would certainly make my life easier, I'm also used to a few things on Windows I don't want to give up: Drivers.
I have a Canon PIXMA MP970 network printer and scanner the driver whereof has a GUI on Windows. I bet that even if I ever manage to get the printer to work on Linux, the GUI will be missing, so I will not have access to any of the options. (For me, this is a real reason for sticking to Windows, unfortunately.)
- Windows Media Player. Although it's not as universal as other media players (VLC), I got used to it because of its well-organized media library and the ability to include a SMB server in it or use a network media library.
- Adobe CS5. I don't know if it works with WINE, but I hope so.
Ubuntu :: Migrating Firefox / Thunderbird Profiles From Windows
Apr 28, 2011I am trying to do as the title states, I am however having problems. I have tried deleting the profile and profile.ini in kubuntu and copying over the windows profile to home/user/.mozilla/firefox for example with firefox, this didn't work. I tried copying it there with the existing profile and changing the path of the ini file, to the windows profile name, this didn't work either. The only thing that I can think is that I am using 64 bit windows and 32 bit kubuntu.I have tried using firefox sync, this didn't work either.

May 4, 2010I am migrating (many) .tex files created in WinEdt under Windows XP to Kile under openSUSE. Kile uses by default UTF-8 encoding, whereas my files are apparently ANSI... I infer this last from my failed attempt to manipulate WinEdt into encoding in UTF-8 for me, as follows: I had inserted the comment
% !Mode:: "TeX:UTF-8"
into my .tex file (following Re: UTF-8). When I had WinEdt open this file it objected in no uncertain terms: ``The file is not in UTF-8 format: Loading as ANSI.''
Summarizing, WinEdt provides me files encoded as ANSI. Yet in Kile -> Settings -> Configure Kile -> Open/Save there is no option to select ANSI.
Kile will open these files in read only mode, and I can then save them with a new name, and proceed -- but it would be more satisfying to know the ``proper'' approach to this.
OpenSUSE Install :: Migrating From Windows 2000 To SuSe?
Sep 8, 2011I need a new OS and heard about Suse for the longest time and wanted to give it a go. It's gonna be hard to let go of Win 2k, but with support degrading I need a OS that's rock stable like 2k. My main concern is application compatibility so I can run my current windows app in Suse. Ultimately I would want a multiboot so I don't lose windows 2k.
I'm using a IBM Thinkpad T61 with these configurations: T9300(2.5GHz), 4GB RAM, Cricual SSD 120GB, 14.1in 1440x900 LCD, 128MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11abgn, Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, Camera, Windows 2000 SP4
General :: Migrating From SCSI To SAS?
Oct 20, 2010I have a Linux system running on an older Sun V20z. The drives are mirrored in a software RAID1. The motherboard has interfaces for only IDE and SCSI. The system is old and is no longer able to handle the load we're putting on it. I also have a much newer Sun X4100. This system is presently unused and has a pair of SAS drives in it. The new server only has SAS and SATA connections on the motherboard, though. I'm trying to think of the best way to clone the V20z over the X4100. I don't mind breaking the mirror knowing I can re-establish it later. I prefer not to do a fresh OS install followed by a tape restore. I would much rather break the mirror and clone one of the SCSI drives the SAS drive. I do have a USB to SATA adaptor for migrating external drives. Anyone know if this will work with a SAS drive? Any pointers on the best way to migrate this? I'm thinking even if the cloning is successful, I'm going to have to much with GRUB to get it to boot from the SAS drive?

Jun 24, 2010Migrated my wife to Linux when her old computer broke. She has an old iPod (one of the first ones to show video) that has music and playlists on there. I know how to sync podcasts to my iPod shuffle with gPodder and GTKpod. But how would I sync up files with her iPod? Also, what program would I use to automatically sync the iPod with any music dropped into her Music folder? This should be as painless as using iTunes or she won't do it.

Mar 11, 2010In the past, I've deployed new 64 bit systems and I've worked on and developed on 64 bit systems. But until a week ago, my workstation was a 32 bit system. Now, it is a 64 bit quad core Phenom II system, and I suppose I need to start the migration to 64 bit Linux. I do not want to blow off my system and rebuild it. This particular system dates back a decade and through many many updates. There is some digital debris in it, but there is also a fair amount of customization that I have implemented either for my own purposes or for customers, and to lose that customization would represent a headache for me.
What I want to do is install a 64 bit system over top of the 32 bit system. It is my hope that doing this would install the necessary 64 bit libraries, while not impacting the existing 32 bit libraries (except with some possible symlink problems). I then, hopefully, could boot into a 64 bit kernel while still running 32 bit programs. Is this feasible? My backup system is comprehensive; I COULD just try it and back up if my system became hosed. But I'd rather not; I have a lot of work to do and I'd rather not learn by doing in this case.

General :: Migrating From WIN7 To Mandrake And NTFS To EXT3 Without Backing Up?
Jun 6, 2010Im currently using windows 7 and I want to shift for Linux. So i thought to start from Mandrake-free. My current filesystem is NTFS which full of windows extension documents. Those capacity is almost 200GB.but im not in a position to backup everything. i got to know from forums that linux perform well in ext3 file system. so i wish to go for ext3. is there any ways to shift FROM,win7 TO mandrake AND
ntfs TO ext3 WITHOUT BACKING UP CURRENT DOCUMENTS ASWEL AS WITHOUT LOOSING ANY OF MY WINDOWS BASED DOCUMENTS.? and i got to know that in a single harddrive(eg 250GB), Its not good for the harddisk to have different type of partitions (eg 50gb of ext3 and 200gb of NTFS). if i used like this will my harddisk got crashed? because this happened to me 4 years ago when i was trying to install winXp(in ntfs) and Redhat(in ext2) in the same hardisk. i was working initially. but was in 2 days that HDD got crashed.
General :: Preserve "My Documents" While Migrating From XP To Fedora?

Preserve the contents of "My Documents" on the same hdd while installing linux on my laptop (external hdd unavailable) The installed Linux to use full hdd space, contents of "My Documents" to be in /home, and have no leftover partition, that was used while migrating. It would be nice to have a regular hdd scheme after all of that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Migrating All FS To New Storage?
Aug 15, 2010I'm in the process of duplicating all the data from my existing filesystems to a new storage solution. I know it is not recommended to do so but this will be a *lot* faster then having to reinstall and reconfiguring the system from scratch...I've synchronized the filesystems using rsync, used the following command line for that:
Code:
rsync --recursive --acls --xattrs --delete --force --one-file-system --links --perms --owner --group --stats --specials --devices --human-readable / /mnt/sde1
rsync --recursive --acls --xattrs --delete --force --one-file-system --links --perms --owner --group --stats --specials --devices --[code]....
To make sure all data is mirrored properly, the next step is to boot into a live system and rerun rsync to copy any previously locked/altered files to the new storage. After moving this, I know I have to edit /etc/fstab on the new storage to make it match the proper UID for the drives. I also have to update grub and install grub into MBR of the new storage.
Ubuntu :: Migrating From NTFS To EXT?
Oct 5, 2010I recently converted from MS 2003 to Ubuntu 10.04.1 and i wish to change the filesystem of all my data disks from NTFS to EXT but i have run into a problem. When i delete the old nfts partition and create an EXT4 partition, i can see that on the newly created partiton the used space is about 20gb. I used gparted for this. I have read that EXT reserves some space for root, but since all the disks i wan't to convert is only used for data and not OS, i see no need for the reserved space. I found some commands to turn of the root space but that did not work so i changed to resiserfs but that very slow, unstable and under limited development.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Migrating A Site From One VPS To Another
Jul 19, 2010I'm migrating a site from one VPS to another, and I'm having trouble understanding what I need to do with DNS. I haven't even gotten to the nitty-gritty of it: I don't understand it at a very high level. My host sent me this email explaining what I need to do, and I don't even know what questions to ask.
Quote:
Your registrar has MyHost's nameservers listed for your domain name.
All DNS-related info for mysite.com and everything inside that zone is defined in your zone file which is currently on your VPS "myserver1" and is being rsynced to [our] servers.
I'm suggesting that if you don't want to spend any of your migration time setting up a DNS server then you may wish to just make the changes in that file, since that is the method that is currently working.
I've come up with two possible interpretations of this situation, and perhaps neither is correct.I need to set my new VPS to be its own nameserver, and have my registrar point mysite.com to my VPS. I need to set up a DNS server to somehow interact with MyHost's nameservers (something about a zone file). Do either/both of these sound plausible? I thought DNS made a server into a nameserver, is that not right?
Ubuntu Installation :: Migrating 10.10 To New Local HDD
Apr 15, 2011I have 3 SATA hard drives, one 500GB NTFS with Windows, one 320GB With Linux (one partition)and one newly purchased 1TB. The 500GB has Windows, which I use to LAN and do graphic stuff while I set up Wine. Its got 1GB free space. The 320 I found in my garage, and is on it last leg, often not showing as boot or displaying as "Bzbzbzbzbzbzbzbzbzb bzbzbzbzb" (No lies). As I was low on space already, I decided to by a 1TB, move Ubuntu across and go from there. How would I copy my system from one HDD to the other, and also add a 500GB NTFS partition. What is the ideal way to set up the partitions, and how big should my swap be? I looked for partitioning guides but they're all really outdated (one suggested a whole 128mb swap).

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Migrating From 32bit To 64bit?
Mar 15, 2010Ive been using Ubuntu 32bit on my work Dell E6400 for nearly a year now with no problems. It is capable of running Ubuntu 64bit and Ive tried out the live CD which seems ok. I have a spare 40GB HDD and a USB caddy so Id like to install Ubuntu 64bit onto that and start working with that as a trial. Once im happy I can get all the usual things I need for my work (like vpnc) working then I'll wipe the main internal HDD and install Ubuntu 64bit.
Apart from backing up my home directory, id like to backup a list of my installed packages as a list of reference so I know what to add into my new install. Is there a "apt" command to do this and list the packages in a way where if I install those packages, I'll not hit any dependancy problems by installing one before another?
Ubuntu Security :: Migrating From Pwman3 To Keepassx?
Aug 15, 2010I'm using pwman3 for both personal and work related passwords. I have a few dozens of passwords in these databases (well over a hundred).
I'm trying to migrate to KeePass for multiple reasons (pwman3 seems to not work any more and is not maintained, keepass has android and nokia database reader clients) but am looking for a way to do this on a Ubuntu desktop.
I manage to export the data from pwman3 into an XML file in pwman3's format but didn't find an easy way to convert it to something that KeePassX can read.
The closest I found is a Ruby script to convert from Revelation XML to KeePassX, but it's written in Ruby and trying to build on it to convert the pwman3 file is going slow.
Ubuntu Servers :: Loosing Uid And Gid Migrating From CentOs To 11.04?
May 22, 2011I'm migrating a server form CentOs to Ubuntu 11.04. I migrated the users, moving the config files and gaining the access prompt for all the users just when I modified adduser.conf and login.defs, changing valid uid and gid to start from 500 instead of 1000. When I try to copy the files from old server to the new one, either with rsync or cp -br, the system set to 0 uid and gid. If I explore the mount point, connected with sshfs, I can see the correct configuration, either as names or as numeric data.

Ubuntu Installation :: Migrating Wubi Install To Another Computer?
Jan 30, 2011I've been using a wubi install of Ubuntu 10.10 for the past few months on my girlfriend's laptop, which has less hardware issues than my more recent laptop. Now that I'm a little more versed in Ubuntu, I'd like to transfer my Wubi install onto an actual partition on my laptop drive for a traditional dual boot.
Is this possible, and if anyone's done this before, would you be able to spare a few minutes and outline the process? I wouldn't know where to start and how to do things since I'm dealing more or less with a file system acting like a partition than an actual one.
I found the steps of migrating a Wubi install to partion via the Wubi Guide, but it seems those are steps for migrating a wubi install to a new partition on the same computer.

Fedora Installation :: Migrating Away From Gnome
Apr 13, 2011I've been looking at Gnome 3 and the Gnome Shell and I don't like what I see. The Gnome devs are taking things in a direction I don't like, giving us new ways to do things that don't interest me and making them mandatory. AFAICT, in the long run there's no real way to configure things to work the way I've been doing things for the last fifteen years. This is not a rant, not (mostly) a complaint, merely an observation. Clearly, I'm not part of their target demographic and I doubt that I'd want to be under the circumstances.
To me, that means it's time for me to move on and try something different. After some careful research, I've migrated my laptop to XFCE and am very happy with it. Now, I'm about to do the same to my desktop. This leaves me with an interesting question: what's the best way to remove Gnome from my two machines without removing any support needed for various programs that I'm accustomed to using and expect to continue using?
