Hardware :: Partitioning - Resize Operation Has Been Aborted?
Jun 8, 2010
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and hate it. I'm having many problems with networking and a few other things. Instead of figuring out all the problems I'm having with Karmic, I decided to go back to Jaunty which actually worked for me. But I have no way of backing up all my data before reinstall. I realised I was only using ~30% of my hard drive so I decided to partition my hard drive in half and install Jaunty on the second partition. Then I could transfer all my data from the first partition to the second then erase the first and repartition again to get the Jaunty installation to fill up the entire drive. Here's where I'm having the problems:
I wrote an Ubuntu Jaunty image file to my flash drive and booted from it. So far so good. I select Install Ubuntu from that first menu that comes up. I go through the time zone and keyboard layout settings. All that works. Then I get to the screen entitled Prepare Disk Space. It tells me I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed and it asks me where I want to put Ubuntu 9.04. I select Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup and click Forward. I then get an error:
Quote:
Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. I click Ignore and a window comes up entitled Please wait... and it stays there for a while. Then I get another error that says: Quote:
An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices.The resize operation has been aborted. I click OK and it brings me to a screen where I can edit partition tables. I select the /dev/sda1 partition and click the Edit Partition button. A window comes up. When I change the New partition size field, will it keep the old Ubuntu 10.04 data in that partition and only resize it or will it format the partition as well? Also - why isn't the easier side-by-side technique working?
Trying to install 10.10 for thr first time from a cd and am new to all this. when i say to install along side windows it gives me the option to say how much space to give ubuntu and i say to give it about 90gig to make sure i have room for music and movies and such... then when it starts to partition i get an error in the middle saying "an error occurred while writing changes to the storage device. the resize operation has been aborted" what can i do to get it to work? is 90 gig to much? not enough? i wouldnt mind doing a full install and deleting windows but i need to be able to use lightroom 3 and photoshop cs5...
When installing ubuntu.After i choose a drive where i want to install ubuntu. and choose its size. and start to install error comes.. "An error occured while writing the changes to the storae device. The resize operation has been abored". and running chkdsk dosent help and the drive is already defragmentated.
I had a dual boot with Ubuntu 9.10 and Vista but decided to get rid of Vista altogether and just keep Ubuntu. Some things happened and I ended up having to put Vista back on here. I want to put Ubuntu 9.10 back on my laptop in a dual boot, but it will not let me install. When I try to use the live cd and install, I get a Resize Operation Failure when trying to set up the new partition for Ubuntu while keeping the Windows partition.
The failure reads: Resize Operation Failure An Error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. Resize operation has been aborted.
When I try to use the Wubi installer, I get an error as well. I get: Permission Denied and then get a link to a log of the error. I'm not sure what I need to do, but I really want to put Ubuntu back on here in dual boot because I was enjoying getting familiar with it.
I've just finished upgrading to f12 from f11 using the DVD ISO and all is well - I'm looking for a bit of guidance for a n00b on cleaning-up after an aborted preupgrade.A yum --enablerepo='*' clean all didn't clean-up as much as I'd hoped it would and neither did preupgrade-cli --clean - the latter of which reported that there was nothing to clean.I've upgraded all packages and removed orphans and just have the latest kernel installed.
I dont really know what screwed up, but I build a tower pc and installed ubuntu on it and it was working fine. I thought I would try out arch linux, and so started to install it however, the power accidently got turned off half way through. After this the pc would not start - no lights, nothing. I held the start button in for a while with no power and then turned the power back on.It came on, so just to play safe, I re-installed ubuntu and it was working ok. I only get to use the pc occasionally as I dont have elecricity, I live in a truck and normally use a laptop. The other day I went to use the pc and nothing. It wont turn on, and is as dead as a do do. If I hold the start button in for 30 seconds the fan on the cpu starts to spin for about a second and then nothing, no lights or anything. Does anyone have any ideas pls? Have I screwed my motherboard up, by the installation being aborted?
Having trouble with updating my system 11.3 when loged in as user or as root.When freshly installed update worked, for about twoo or tree weks i cant get it to work annymore.
Same error everytime: An internal error has occured A problem that we were not expecting has occured. Please report this bug in your distribution bugtracker with the error description. More details (Installation aborted by user)
before 2 days i was trying to update my opensuse 11.1 with 1 kernel update. Due to slow connection it was automatically aorted. i tried twice for updation but it failed each time in between. When i restarted computer i have been getting following message on booting:-
Could not find /dev/disk/.....� part9 Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/.....- part9 ? (Y/n) Y and n resulst in: Waiting for device /dev/disk/.....� part9 to appear....... Not found-exiting to /bin/sh $i also find some solution on this forum
Ubuntu Studio (no idea what version, no idea how to find out) Update Manager has been saying 10.04 is ready for quite some time, but I cannot install the upgrade. The first time, more than a month ago, it had problems with Java and aborted. This time it couldn't find a repository in NZ so it threw up its (virtual) hands and gave up. Should I even try to upgrade? I keep installing maintenance and security updates (except Adobe Flash Player which Adobe cannot identify). It does most of what I want it to do. Does 10.04 (or 10.10) really matter? Assuming I try for US 10.04 LTS again, how do I get it past its problems?
I have a user who rather stupidly attempted to upgrade his Jaunty to 10.04 - half way thru, he got fed up and rebooted. I managed to get his machine to boot up with most apps working except OOfice. He gets an error OpenOffice.org 3.1 Fatal Error - the application cannot be started. The component manager is not avaiable. How can I solve this? I've tried to re-install / upgrade to 10.04 using an install dvd but I don't want to remove all the settings which it seems to want to do . It wants to either install 'side by side' or 'erase and use all the disk'. I would be happy to upgrade assuming it fixes the openoffice problem. Alternatively, how can I repair the openoffice problem?

I was trying to install PEAR on a remote Ubuntu server using putty. I ran an apt-get install php-pear command and everything went smoothly, but now i cannot access the website as it says 'can't establish a connection to the server' and in firebug, it shows the status 'aborted'. I even tried adding the pear path in php.ini file and restarting the apache server but no luck.
I previously had a machine that dual booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. I recently attempted to wipe out the 32 bit Ubuntu and install 64 bit Ubuntu.
Here what I did: - I booted from the LiveCD, and had no problems - I formatted /sda3 using gparted. I checked that Ubuntu resided on /sda3 via the command "sudo fdisk -l". This worked fine. - I then clicked the "install ubuntu" option on the desktop, and chose the largest chunk of free space. - About 15% through the install, I was told the CD could not be read from due to a potential scratch or issue. I then tried to revert back to the Os running from the LiveCD, and things went crazy. I had trouble shutting down the machine and did a hard reset.
Now, whenever I boot I am greeted with the following message: Windows Deployment Services: PXE boot aborted error: no such partition grub rescue> At the grub rescue prompt when I ls, I see: (hd0) (hd0,4) (hd0,2) (hd0,1)
I can still boot the LiveCD. I tried that again and tried to again format sda3 using gparted but had no luck fixing the issue. When booting from the LiveCD I am also told by gparted that "sda1 does not coincide with a cylinder boundary" or something of that nature.
I installed Ubuntu on a computer which had Windows 7 pre-installed on it. Everything was working fine for a day until it gave me this error: "No module name found. Aborted." This is the result of boot info script:
I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 I got last week. I had Win7 preinstalled and I wanted Ubuntu for university so I installed that too. I came out of Ubuntu after installing it and went into Windows for something. I shut down but the next morning - ever since I power up the laptop - I get this message saying "Module name not found. Aborted. Press any key to exit". Dell tech support were unaware of this problem previously but they have offered to come round and put the pc back to factory settings. Do you think this is the only way I can go forward from this?
I m new to setup the CVS in linux , i have tried lots but every time whenever i try to commit the change in module or file this error has been generated : cvs [commit aborted]: 'root' is not allowed to commit files.
Today I installed suse 11.1 on my computer. After some time i was able to connect to the internet and the auto update program prompted for updates. after the updates were installed more updates were prompted. but now i get an error when i try to install them. edit: the error is "PackageKit Error internal-error: Installation aborted by user " if i try it manually i get an message "access denied to ......" how can i make my system update normal?
After I set to use some modules, say, pam_access.so, I want to know if there is a way for the administrator to check if any invalid attempt was happened and blocked by that module?
I have installed Fedora 10 in my laptop. After installation in Fedora 10, im not able to use Touchpad to perform a task like to open a folder/open a window/select a word. I am doing above mentioned operations through left button/right button.
In the system monitor it states:Release 11.2 Kernel Linux 2.6.31.5 -0.1 -desktop
GNOME 2.28.0Last week when I rebooted my machine, I suddenly found my machine had no response to any click or typing. When the cursor move to any icons, they can be highlighted, but when I click them, no response at all. The weird thing is almost every time after I reboot the computer, it can work for a few minutes, then stop working. But if I press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, it can be log out.
I think there must be something wrong with my GNOME, 'cause everything seems working fine when I login IceWM. may be recover the .config file in my home directory. But I don't have this file in my home directory.
I was messing around with my drive trying some different arrangements of partition to get another one inside. overall the result doesn't differ much from the original but while messing with it I done a lot of steps. I thought GParted will do the minimal number of operations but it didn't. it just traced all my operations one by one. this gave it a few days worth of work. As I don't want to loose data I can't hit cancel but I don't want to wait few days for it. Is there any way to tell it to stop after completing the current operation? It's from natty ubuntu live cd.
So hibernate used to work fine on my computer, but then after some updates one day - the option just disappeared from all log-out consoles from all desktop managers (xfce4, gnome .etc).xfce4-power-manager now says "Hibernate operation not supported" when I attempt to select it.
I run SUSE on my machine for a year, but I'm really a newbie on Linux.

I'm using fedora 11. I want to do some operation like after saving a file (moving ,copying,..) the system need to ask that "DO you want to encrypt?" . If yes I am able to run the crypt module (which I already implemented..). Is it possible to invoke a encrypt module which I implemented in c language.
What happen internally when we insert the floppy into the linux operating system? Who will take care of making the entry in the /etc/mtab, etc. Tell me whole internal operation of the kernel when we insert the floppy.
