General :: Open Suse Installs But Not Other Distros
Mar 21, 2010BACKGROUND: After years of having an idle machine with Linux on it, I want to use it everyday. My preferred distro is Debian Lenny. It is running on a 1999 Compaq that I want to use for testing. So far, configuration has been logical and steady.
PROBLEMS: So far, only Suse will install completely on my newer machine.
Fedora and Knoppix were also tried, and did not work.Where should I look to begin to troubleshoot this? This is not a rush job. I have time to do one or two things per day.
Ubuntu Installation :: XP Doesn't Book After Migrating From SUSE To 10.10?
Nov 3, 2010I recently migrated from SuSE 11.2 to UBUNTU 10.10.I didn't run into any major problems until I tried to boot into XP.The screen just goes blank.My search of other threads revealed error message problems but no blank screen problems.Would it make sense to backup my home files, reinstall XP and then reinstall UBUNTU?

So, I'm searching for a book or document that shows me what type of tests can be done to show the performance of an application.

Feb 10, 2011Going through book, "Guide to UNIX Using Linux". I am doing one of the projects that has me writing scripts to join files. Here is my pnumname script and I am extracting the programmers names and numbers from the program file and redirecting the output to the file pnn. I then created a joinall script where I am trying to join the files pnn and pnumname and redirect the output to pactrep. When I run the script sh joinall and use less to display the contents of the redirected file pactrep, I get an error- join: extra operand `pnum'
Try `join --help' for more information.... I went to the man pages but I still (obvious) do not have a solid grasp.

General :: Share /var And /usr Among Different Distros?
Feb 9, 2010I currently have one very big partition in my laptop that runs Ubuntu. I have to install Fedora for work and I'd also like to try out OpenSUSE, so I'll have to repartition. Since I don't want to duplicate data, I will move /home to a different partition and mount it from all three. I'd like to know, can I also do this with /var and /usr? If so, would that mean that every program I install will be available from all three?

Do any commands exist in one distro but not in the others? ARE ALL Distros compatible on the CLI-basis ?

Dec 15, 2010I wanted to install this package to convert one Unix book into pdf. Since I have not set up the internet in the debian, I download the .deb files in winxp and transfer these files to my pen drive and then access it in the Debian. So I got all the 'depends' packages for the chm2pdf from the Debian Packages site and tried to install. Console was still asking for more dependencies. If I have got all the 'depends' packages which are required for chm2pdf, then why does it give problems ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Which Distros Install From USB/Live USB
Jun 26, 2009A friend of mine is working at a company that's getting a lot of netbooks. None of them have optical drives so USB is important. They are going to switch most of the netbooks from Windows XP to Linux. I told him that both Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Remix can be used this way. He installed both to a USB Drive and what he likes is at bootup it gives the option to either run it from USB as a Live Distribution or to install it to the hard drive.
The installation would give him a way of switching them to Linux and in other cases for users who prefer Windows XP they still have the option of using a USB Flash Drive when they want to use Linux. The question: What other distributions work this way? I have looked at Fedora, CentOS, Mandriva, and OpenSUSE. Would either of these install from USB or even work as a Live Distribution from USB or even do both? Are there other distributions that would do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Distros Appropriate For Specific Computers?
Mar 4, 2010I'm looking to install Linux on two of my home computers. Here they are, with a brief description of what they will be used for. Rig #1: main desktop: Dell Dimension, P4 3.0GHz, 2GB Ram, 128MB PCIe Video Card Currently, I have WinXP Pro installed and it is my main workhorse computer.
I would like to have a fairly full featured distro that I can test drive as an alternative to WinXP (which I use mostly for web browsing and mp3s and games... I know I may be out of luck with getting many of my games working on linux, but I can live with that). The only other caveat with this machine is that it has to work using a USB wireless network adapter. The wireless router is nearly inaccessible and too far away to plug into. And there are no wired ports in the house.
Rig #2: old computer: Celeron 850, 512MB Ram, 30GB HD, 64MB AGP Video card My really old computer that has just been sitting around collecting dust. I would like to install a fairly lightweight distro (for obvious reasons) to play around with. Maybe get some experience using linux from an admin perspective, like installing/compiling packages, running servers, etc...
I have already tried to install Linux Mint and Xubuntu on my main desktop. While both installed without any errors, neither of them was able to boot into linux. Presumably because of this bug:
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/403408
Which seems to be a problem with Grub/Ubuntu. So I'd like to stay away from Ubuntu. So what are some distros that you guys would recommend for these two rigs, given my potential uses/limitations?
General :: How To Tell What Distros Compatible With Processor
Jul 23, 2010I have an old mini-desktop computer I want to have as a spare machine for internet browsing and checking email. It has a copy of XP currently, but the previous owner didn't put the key in so I can't get onto it at all. I plan on putting linux on it, just not sure what it can handle. It has 384 megs of RAM I believe, and the processor is a via C3, so I'm not even sure if I can run linux on it. I've checked the faqs and googled a bit, but I can't tell if it's i486, i586, or one of those things, and I'm not sure what linux distros(if any) are compatible. Will linux mint be able to run on a 900mhz processor of this sort and 384 megs of RAM? I'm thinking no, but it's the only linux distro I've dabbled with before. If not, will ubuntu? Will opensuse?

May 24, 2011I was using Ubuntu but changed distros recently due to Natty which I found buggy with Gnome. I just don't care for Unity. I have tried Fedora 14, Fedora 15 Beta, OpenSuse 11.4. I am leaning towards Linux Mint.
Except for Ubuntu, my ATI 5800 video card fan is running constantly. I ran the Dell diagnostic on the card. It reported the card was running correctly. It also runs correctly in Windows 7.
I am a semi-newbie and have some confusion as to which drivers to use for my card. Two questions:
Is there a a thread someone can point me to to correctly install the correct driver for any particular distro?;
Is there issues with ATI video card drivers and certain distos?
General :: Could Two Distros Share The Same /home
Jul 27, 2010Just out of curiosity, suppose I had a harddrive with three partitions. One partition contains Slackware (or whatever), and one partition contains Debian (or whatever). Could both of these installs use the third partition as its /home, without causing any problems?
edit: meant to put this into Linux General, not Debian. Could anyone move it?

View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Installing Multiple Distros On One Hd
Jan 19, 2010I want to install multiple distros on one hd just to get some experience with them. I'm wanting to try out different distros and DE's, so I think I'm settled on wanting to install Ubuntu, Mandriva (or PCLOS), opensuse, and Linux Mint, all on a 40GB drive, giving a little more than 10GB to one of them to use as my primary Linux OS. I also have a current XP install on another hard drive that I'd want to leave connected so GRUB will detect it (not touching it at all during OS installs).
After trying several times to get 4 (or even 3) OS' installed on one drive using one GRUB has been a pain, so it looks like I'll have to put each OS' GRUB on it's respective partition and use one OS' GRUB as a primary in the MBR. With all that being said:
1. What's the best GRUB to use? Much difference between Ubuntu 9.10's and Mint 8's?
2. I'm not worried about saving data on a separate /home partition, so could I use one swap partition and a / root for each OS (giving each one about 10GB)? Would that just mean resizing the previous install's partition and manually creating a 10GB / ?
3. I've read the GRUB 2 guide several times, and when manually adding all of the GRUB's in different partitions to the "main" GRUB, all I need to enter is the title, root entry, and possibly chainloader +1?? This is the area I need the most help in... manually adding entries to GRUB 2... not too worried about Windows because that's usually detected, just adding other distros.
