Feb 9, 2010I can login into my linux only as normal user "abc". my slax is giving HAL error in automounting pendrive.
To mount a pendrive i have to login as root in a terminal with SU command and then i can access the pendrive through command line. i normally copies my files into "abc" home directory and browses it from there in konquorer file browser......this is tedious job...everytime.
My idea is to have an icon on "abc" desktop ...which onclick will execute a shell script and manually mount my pendrive in READ WRITE mode at background and display the pendrive folder contents.... using KDE Scripting.

Jan 31, 2009I tried to install Fedora 10 with an encrypted root-filesystem on my Laptop. The problem was, that I wanted to install to the second hdd which resides in the extension slot of the laptop. I can either have the dvd-drive or the hdd in the slot. So I removed the internal hdd, and inserted the second one in its place. That way I could use the dvd. The installation went fine and I could boot into the OS. Then I removed the hdd again and inserted the original hdd to the internal slot, and the fedora-hdd in the extension slot. I can select during power-on from which hdd i want to boot, but I cannot boot fedora. After the first dialog, where I can enter the password to decrypt the disk, I get an error message (something like drive not found). I tried to change the grub settings in the /boot partition (which is not encrypted), but without success.
So, is there a way to boot the system? Or how do I install Fedora on the second hdd without the dvd-drive?

Debian :: Mount The Multiple Partitions Of A Pendrive - Flashcard?
Dec 27, 2009I did this with :
Code:
I made two partitions as below
Code:
3. Partition Compact Flash
Make two partitions on CF (use linux fdisk or anything else that is able to make linux filesystem)
1. at least 8MB FAT
2. rest ext2 (recommended) or ext3 - at least 50MB
Copy vmlinuz, initrd, linexec and params.txt to FAT partition.
Uncompress rootfs.tar.bz2 to ext2 partition. (command details at ref. [1])
But :
fdisk -l says only one /dev/sdd1
not sdd1a
not sdd1a
How can I mount those 2 created partitions, since they are hidden under /dev/sdd1 ?
Is it a bug of the kernel?

OpenSUSE Network :: Nfs Doesn't Mount At Boot
Aug 17, 2010I use a RAIDON unit (SL3610/3620-2S-LB2 - set up with RAID1 and NFS) as a file server and want it to mount at boot. My /etc/fstab entry is
10.10.10.2:/mnt/md1/ulimnt /home/uli/ulimnt nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0
But the system does not mount at boot. SO after the system booted up the command (as root) mount -t nfs 10.10.10.2:/mnt/md1/ulimnt /home/uli/ulimnt mounts the system without problems Of course I can add a login script - but why does it not work at boot System is opensuse 11.0 - network with if up
Fedora Installation :: 14 Live CD Freezes On Boot Probing PCMCIA Slot?
Apr 3, 2011I have a Toshiba a105-s2236 laptop and am trying to install Fedora 14. Is there any way to tell Fedora not to look for the pcmcia slots on boot? My live CD is freezing at the point where it tries to probe the pcmcia socket IO port.
I tried adding the 3 to get to a console, but that fails as well. I had to add acpi=off to the kernel boot args to even get it to go this far.
Even using the nopcmcia option, it still tries to probe the socket's IO port.
General :: Boot An SD Card On A Notebook That Does Not Have BIOS Support For Booting From The SD Slot?
Feb 9, 2011I'm trying to boot an SD card on a notebook that does not have BIOS support for booting from the SD slot. Using various how-to's I've figured out how to add additional SD card modules to the initrd.img file on a bootable USB drive such that I can boot Linux installed on the SD card.
However, best I can tell, it loads the kernel and initrd.img from the USB and everything else from the SD card. What I really want is to load the necessary SD modules from the USB and then chainload the SD card such that whatever kernel is on the SD card is loaded instead. Is it possible to chainload to another bootable device after the kernel (with the SD module additions) has already been loaded?
General :: Unable To Mount A Pendrive - Message - Module Usb-ohci Not Found
Sep 30, 2010I need to use a pendrive with the Slackware 13.0 and I've tried a lot of things I've found at the internet but unfortunately they didn't work. It's not possible to use graphical interface because some reasons. So the problem need to be solved by command line.
When I use "lsusb" command, I can see the pendrive.
However, when I try these:
I got the following message: "Module usb-ohci not found" and "Module usbcore not found"
How can I deal with these problem? Because I guess without these module loaded it's not possible to mount the pendrive. Is it right?
Fedora Hardware :: Software RAID1 /boot Volume Doesn't Mount Automatically At System Startup
Feb 7, 2010My software RAID setup is as follows.
/dev/md0 (made from sda1 and sdb1) RAID1 /boot partition
/dev/md1 (made from sda2, sdb2, and sdc2) RAID5 / partition
Earlier on I had some trouble with my sda drive, it dropped itself from both arrays, screwing up the mirroring of my two raid partitions participating in the /boot partition. I eventually got everything sorted out and back in sync. (I also have grub installed to MBR on both sda and sdb). Things are working fine regarding that, but since then I've had this issue:
During boot up, I'll get an error message that it could not mount my /boot partition (when fstab is set to either /dev/md0 or the UUID). It claims c9ab814c-47ea-492d-a3be-1eaa88d53477 does not exist!
My fstab:
Code:
[mark@mark-box ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Wed Jan 20 16:34:41 2010
[code]....
As far as I know, it isn't neccessary for /boot to be mounted always, correct? Although, as I understand, I need to have it mounted whenever making kernel changes correct?

Jun 24, 2010I have tried googling this thing but returns didn't fit my needed answers while I have very limited time staying on-line, so I try to solicit help here from those who have gone this way before.
My Need:
1. I need to boot and run Slackware 12.2 from an 8gig USB pendrive. <Regardless from where I install them: I can install and prefer to isntall it from a DVD/cdrom drive. But booting my Slackware DVD installer cannot see the USB pendrive which fdisk -l returns as 'sdb1-ext2, sdb2-ext2 and sdb3-swap' after falling into the console mode.>
2. I partition my usb-stick into 1.2Gig to mount as / then 5Gig to mount as /home and about 200+Mbs for swap. Things I have tried--
a) I have run Ubuntu 8 on a pendrive by a very simple way of doing it. There are links for that. But I don't like Ubuntu where it uses vfat on a casper drive, and also I cannot control the system the way I used to in Slackware. I deleted it.
b) I tried booting my Slackware 12.2 DVD installer but there is no way to find my usb drive when preparation phase came. I need a little help. I have lesser time now for tinkering things, being busy in my job.
What would I do to attain my objective quicker than being a scientist-experimenting-things? Is there a link for a fitting solution so that I can go and read from there?
Debian :: Restoring USB Pendrive After Boot Image
Feb 5, 2016I created two debian bootable pendrive with the newest and basic commands: CP debian.iso and SYNC. When I tried to restoring the pendrive GPARTED sees only few space and is unable to perform any operation on the hidden partition as well in Windows 7.
CFDISK is able to see the partitions but is unable to write anything, just deleting. After deleted any partion GPARTED enconters a wrong block size so is unable to perform any changes.
Thus the only way I found to restoring the pendrive is delete the partion with CFDISK and then formatting the pendrive in Windows, where did I do wrong?
General :: OpenSuse Won't Boot Without Pendrive Plugged In
Apr 3, 2011I was building LFS on a pendrive this morning when it crashed in the middle of making gcc. I rebooted without my pendrive and I never got into the desktop. Instead, I get a visually pleasing terminal telling me that it couldn't find and that the only way to reboot would be to press CTRL+D. I'm then given a command line and that's that.
Rebooting with the key inside works perfectly.
I reformatted my key and now there's nothing on it. I feel like somewhere somehow I added an entry to the boot process of my system and now I have to remove it. Never dealt with something like this before
Fstab:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500AAJS-60Z0A0_WD-WCAV2M336077-part1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500AAJS-60Z0A0_WD-WCAV2M336077-part2 ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1
[Code]....
The LaCie entry at the bottom there is my pendrive.

Feb 12, 2011Note: I am doing such setup for the first time so I don't know if there is a problem with given opensuse version or problem with what I am doing. System: openSUSE 11.4 RC1
Desired setup: entire system except /boot partition on hard disk, /boot partition on USB (pendrive). Aim -- making impossible to boot from hard disk, forcing boot from the USB (please, don't question my aim, I am just trivializing the issue here to shorten the description).
Setup: I set /home and / partitions on hard disk (/sda), /boot partition on USB (/sdb), I selected the options to Boot From Boot Partition as well as Boot From Master Boot Record. Finally I selected Boot Loader Options and selected Set active flag in Partition Table for Boot Partition. I installed the system.
What works:
a) without pendrive inserted I cannot start the system
b) with pendrive inserted GRUB menu shows up and system is ready to boot
The problem: after initial starting, there is long pause, and system switches to text mode with error:
Code:
drive "/dev/disk/by-id/id_of_my_pendrive" is not found Since the console worked, I logged in, and yes, actually there was not such disk found. But the disk (pendrive) was there -- the initial booting took place not from void, but from it. So why it is not present? Out of curiosity, I pulled it out, and plugged it in back, now it was visible in "dev/disk/. Question: what should I change/tweak for correct booting the system from pendrive? Or is a bug in 11.4 installer? I would like to setup everything as it should be done -- I mean within installer.
What I found so far: Booting encrypted system from USB stick - Gentoo Linux Wiki it is similar problem to mine, but only similar. I have other symptoms.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Not Booting / LiveCD Doesn't Boot / Grub Recovery Mode Doesn't Boot
Jan 4, 2011Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't boot at all. The liveCD only boots once every like 30 attempts, installing from liveCD froze, but the Alternate CD worked and installed ubuntu. Now when I try to boot into it using GRUB, it freezes at the beginning of the boot process.With normal boot it freezes at line: Starting AppArmor profiles Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.bin.firefox.With recovery mode it freezes even before showing me anything
A little kinda like the liveCD, if I try like 30 times, it might manage to boot once in normal mode.That line keeps on repeating, the the xxx.xxx integer changes each time, and this goes on forever.I tried removing my floppy drive, but it didn't help.I tried to boot with fd0=noprobeThe one time it booted, when I restarted, it froze while trying to restart.
Debian :: Mount Sshfs At Startup - Get Mount For UserA To Happen On Boot
Mar 18, 2011I am struggling with getting an sshfs mount mounted on system boot. I have a script that mounts the sshfs for "userA". When userA runs the script all is well - user A can access the remote filesystem, root user can't see it as expected. The basic command is: sshfs userA@remote host:/home/userA /home/userA/mountdir -p 21212 -o password_stdin < passwordfile. I can prepend the sshfs command in the script with su - userA -c and when I run this script logged in as root all is well, userA has access and all is well. If I then put this script in /etc/init.d and reference it properly in the rc. directories the mount doesn't happen. If I prepend the sshfs command with sudo, same thing. Logged in as root I can run the script and UserA has access. Run the script in /etc/init.d during startup and the mount doesn't happen. Echoing text to a log file shows that the script is being executed but no mount happens.

Sep 9, 2015I am thinking about upgrading, again, from Wheezy to Jessie. When I had Jessie installed, prior to a crash, I noticed that some of the Gnome games in Jessie are not as esthetically pleasing as they were in Wheezy. Also, some of the games (eg. mines) were slower and seemed to use a lot more CPU resources. So my questions are:
1. If I pin those programs that I want to keep will that also pin the dependencies for those programs?
2. If those dependencies are pinned, how might that impact other programs, in Jessie, that might depend on later packages?
3.If I don't pin those programs that I want to keep is it possible to install those programs from Wheezy after I upgrade to Jessie, without causing issues with Jessie?

General :: Users Without Prior Contact With MS Windows?
Feb 3, 2010It was always why did You switch from there or that. I wonder are there (or better yet here actually) Linux users, that where never 'tainted' with the proprietary infamous operating system? I mean those who never *switched*, but had either both or saw Linux first (before MS Windows).
How do they perceive Linux? We , the ones coming from <put whatever You come from here> , are inevitably biased, carry a background noise and a "whistle" fading in our ears. I know computers from the days they came without operating system (just mere interpreters upon a BIOS stack) and really do appreciate the ways of *NIX. But I see my kids growing and exploring all kinds of "solutions" and OS-es and they have mixed feelings:
1. They are not bothered if software "looks" alike if it is functional
2. They like certain features on either sides and miss where they lack
3. They, above all, appreciate functionality
4. They miss gaming support on Linux a lot (big names hesitating)
