OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Edit Partitions During Setup (11.2 X64)?

Jan 21, 2010

I can't edit the partitions in the install setup. When I go tyo the Expert Partitioner, I see a hard disk (sda) with no partitions or user devices, and 2 RAID devices:* /dev/md126 with 465.76 GB, not encrypted, type RAID1 (no info for chunk size, parity or file system)* /dev/md127 with 2.2 MB, not encrypted, RAID_UNKNOWN (no info for chunk size, parity or file system)I didn't try to do anything in the RAID part because I wanted to preserve Win 7, but I dared to add a partition in the "hard disk" (sda) and I get an error: "the disk is in use and cannot be modified".

The behavior of Ubuntu 9.1 x64 installation is much alike.I have googled with every keyword combination I remembered, but I can't find anything that gives me a clue to what may be happening.I have already tried the 3 SATA configurations (the IDE that works with the installed Win 7, AHCI and RAID), but the result is always the same. Now the strangest thing is that fdisk and parted correctly identify the partitions. As far as I remember, parted isn't able to do modifications and fdisk says that the boundaries of the first, tiny partition, doesn't match the number of cylinders (or something like it). However, I was able create a partition with fdisk on the empty space and format it, delete it again and repeat the process a couple of times with no errors. The partituions are signed as msdos.

GParted from Ubuntu also shows the partitions, but I didn't try to do any modifications, namely because I don't think that it can solve my problem and I don't want to risk installing windows again.The hardware is brand new, a Asus M4A785Td-V Evo with an Amd Phenom II X4 965 and a WDC-WD5000ACCS-0 500 Gb HD. My lazyness made me asking the guys from whom I bought it to install Win7 Ultimate 64 in a NTFS partition, leaving half the disk untouched.y assure me that it is a "plain vanilla" ("next, next, next") installation . I guess I could try to see if I could do the partition setup in the "RAID" part of the Expert partitioner, but I have strong doubts that it solves the problem and it would be quite boring to conclude that I ruined the windows installation for nothing.

General :: Unable To Setup The Partitions

May 29, 2010

I think something has gone wrong with my attempt at setting up a new partition. I have two HDDs, initially one was divided into two partitions. I shrank the second partition using resize2fs from a live cd and am trying to create a third partition. I have been trying to follow this:[URL]

Here is the output of fdisk -l and df -h:

xebian:~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes

OpenSUSE :: Unable To Mount NTFS Partitions?

Jun 24, 2011

I first noted a few weeks ago I couldn't mount my NTFS partitions using dolphin. At the time I was having problems with windows, so I thought - naturally, they are marked as dirty, no biggie-

However, I still can't mount them and I know they are clean. I get the error: "filesystem is neither well know nor in /proc/filesystem nor in /etc/filesystems" which is strange since I can mount just fine in the console using mount -t ntfs-3g.

OpenSUSE :: Unable To Mount Internal Partitions With Dolphin

Jul 27, 2010

I have two systems, one running 11.2 x64, and the other running 11.3 x64. on both systems, I've lost the ability to mount internal partitions "on-the-fly" from the Dolphin panel.Trying to mount via Dolphin has always given me this error on the 11.3 system, but only recently started happening in the 11.2 system after a recent "zypper dup" (using the "Stable" KDE 4.4 repo).If others are experiencing this same issue, please let me know so I can file a bug report. Please note that the error only occurs for internal partitions, and external drives work fine.

General :: Used The Disk Utility To Edit The Partitions ?

Jan 11, 2011

I was on Ubuntu 10.04 I used the Disk Utility to edit the partitions.

Here is the table it's showing:

Here I deleted 79 GB patition from FAT32 to NTFS and deleted 50 GB space that was ext4 partition where SUSE was residing the bootloader was of SUSE that was working using the same utility.

After that with a live cd of ubuntu I tried to recover the grub but there was no device.map file. Later I found the partition table absent.

The utility shows above table but Gparted shows only 500GB free space without any partition. Please help can't loose all the data.

I can access the partitions in live environment I can't even install a fresh OS because It also shows 500GB unallocated space.

Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Install Netbook Remix And Number Of Partitions?

Jun 17, 2010

I'm an old user of Ubuntu/Linux but have stumbled across my first major problem in years. I just can't get my head around it.I own a Asus Eee Pc 1005HA it has roughly 160gb and is currently running WinXP. I'm trying to install the latest Netbook remix 10.04 onto the machine as a dual boot option.I've loaded the iso onto a usb drive and everything works perfectly. The problem is during installation. I can't work out how to set up the partitions for a dual boot option. Below is the current configuration on the system.

/DEV/SDA
/DEV/SDA1/NTFS 77375MB Windows XP Partition
/DEV/SDA2/NTFS 77366MB Free space

[code]....

I would like to use the free space as my Ubuntu installation. Can anyone advise me on the best way to install this without affecting my WinXP system.

Ubuntu :: Use GParted With The Live CD In Order To Edit Partitions?

Oct 1, 2010

Basically, I would like to have a separate /home partition on my hard disk that will be shared by two different Ubuntu releases. In other words, I would like Maverick and Lucid to be on their own separate partitions, but to share the same /home. I already have Lucid installed (no separate /home). I know how to use GParted with the Live CD in order to edit partitions, but the main question I have is how do I migrate my /home folder to its own partition without ruining data? I've skimmed through some GParted tutorials but they don't exactly detail what I want.

Once that is done, I need to know if it is possible for Lucid and Maverick to share the same /home partition, and how would I set that up?

Ubuntu Installation :: XP With Existing Setup (Partitions) - Error "Setup Did Not Find Any Hard Disks Installed On Your Computer"

Feb 18, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and previously had a separate partition with another distro on it. I decided to delete the other distro's home and swap partitions and install XP in place of it. I've been following these instructions: [URL] and [URL] I have gotten to the point where I am booting to the XP CD and want to install it, but I get the message, "Setup did not find any hard disks installed on your computer" when I should be getting to the screen that asks me to select a partition to install XP on. This is what my HDD looks like in GParted:

I want to install XP in the unallocated partition, but I have a feeling I screwed up somewhere along the way and probably don't fully understand the whole thing. Even if I try to format the unallocated partition to NTFS I can't make it a primary partition (I assume because it's within sda2). The very last thing I want to do is delete my Ubuntu partition and start from scratch, but if that's my last option let me know.

OpenSUSE Install :: Overlapping Partitions With Fresh Opensuse 11.3 Install

Aug 4, 2010

After a fresh install of opensuse 11.3 x86_64, using a NET install CD, I noticed that the boot disk layout has overlapping partitions. I've noticed one other post that mentioned this at the very end. Is this a known problem already? Or is there something I'm missing that makes this okay?

Ubuntu Installation :: When Go To Edit The Partitions - Won't Let Do Anything Due To An Apparent Lack Of A Root Filesystem

Mar 28, 2010

I'm having trouble installing it on a "new" computer that I found at Goodwill for $60 with no operating system on it. When I go to edit the partitions, it won't let me do anything due to an apparent lack of a root filesystem. (I know this issue has been brought up and resolved in the past, but the usual solution (going into the validation.py file) isn't working for me, as there is no line in this one that says "if not root".)

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4, Gnome 3 New Install / No NTFS Partitions Detected?

Apr 24, 2011

I've just installed 11.4 and then updated to gnome 3. I've noticed that Nautilus doesn't appear to mount my windows NTFS partition. I find this odd because both Ubuntu and Fedora detect and mount it just fine in Gnome 3 (I've been trying all 3 this week).

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 DVD Cannot See Any Partitions

Dec 9, 2009

I had a Windows 7 RC/openSUSE 11.1 dual-boot on this computer running on RAID 1. When I installed Windows 7 final, somehow it screwed up my RAID 1. I fought with it for a while, but decided to wipe the logical drive, and then go into BIOS and disable RAID. I reinstalled Windows 7 on the HDD, but I have no RAID now. BIOS shows 4 SATA drives. Windows sees all of them just fine. But the openSUSE 11.2 install DVD can't see any partitions on sda, sdb, sdc or sdd. It however says I still have two RAID logical drives, which I don't. I'd really like to install openSUSE 11.2, but I want it to recognize my Windows partitions, if for no other reason that to see my MP3 collection, my eBooks, etc.

OpenSUSE Install :: Can't Edit Back Device.map File

Dec 23, 2010

I've got myself in a bit of a pickle.I've got 1 hard disk drive and was trying to load a second external drive.I tried to mount the 2nd (external) drive by editing /boot/ grub/ device.map but I must have made an error, because now it boots directly into sda1 openSUSE 11.1 and when I try to look at SDA2/SDA3 it say's Invalid System Type. Presumably because they're formatted with Ext4. So I can't edit back my device.map file.What I want to do is boot into SDA3 OpenSUSE 11.3. Would anybody know why it's only booting to SDA1 and/or have any suggestions to get me back booting to SDA3? This may be a 2 step process, because I may have to boot to SDA2 first so I can edit back my /boot/grub/device.map on SDA3 before finally booting to SDA3.

OpenSUSE Install :: Can Edit To Customize Runlevel 3 Console?

Aug 10, 2011

I'm relatively new to Linux and to openSUSE. I've been using 11.3 as the OS on my home server for awhile using a GUI (Gnome). I recently created a new server which is much more powerful and would like to get serious about learning the ins and outs of the system. I've learned some basic bash and would like to install 11.4 on the new server. I have two questions about this. The first is: does it add any system overhead if I install KDE but set the default runlevel to 3? I know that running the GUI takes up system resources, but I'm new enough to the system that I'm not 100% comfortable yet not having a GUI backup. On the other hand, if having a GUI installed eats up resources (other than the HDD space for installing it) even if I'm only using the system in runlevel 3, then I think I'll forgo KDE and install it as text only and just bone up on bash.

My second question is: is there a file I can edit to customize the runlevel 3 console? I just installed 11.4 on my HP Mini using KDE but defaulting to runlevel 3, and I really like the background picture and little SUSE lizard at the top of my console. Is there a way to change the background picture and logo at the top? It's probably a little juvenile on my part to want to customize this but Linux is all about choice right?

OpenSUSE Install :: Can't Format Partitions / What To Do?

Apr 10, 2010

I have a pretty weird problem, which is that I can't format any partitions anymore.

It started when my laptop suddenly froze and I killed it (I just ran FF, IRC client, Kopete, ... and I think the last thing I did was plugging in a USB drive). When I wanted to boot the machine again it gave me a lot of errors that the root and the home partitions are both corrupted.

Repairing the system with the DVD didn't help at all and finally I removed all the partitions to reinstall the whole system.

During the installation it can create the partitions, but it can't format them with ext4.

I tried to format the partitions with a live CD and YaST Partioner and the same problem showed up code...

OpenSUSE Install :: How To Make LVM - Partitions

May 24, 2010

Texts about partitioning with LVM are quite technical.However I should like to find a text explaining me how to manually make LVM-partitions in OpenSuSE. Like which ones, how big, how to do it. I made an auto LVM with /home. Problem is my entire disk is not used (/root was 5GB max /home was only 7GB max on sda2)and I was not able to make the partitions the seize I wanted.

I have now sda1 configured as /home 280GB and sda2 with the proposed partitioning of Yast. So only 5,9 GB for root. It looks like my try-out is working fine, however. Using normal partitioning is not a good option on my PC. He shows lots of black screens. With LVM no problem at all.

OpenSUSE Install :: Any Way To Join Partitions

Oct 7, 2010

Since i first installed my openSuse 11.2 on the laptop, I didn't know how much space I'd need for this OS to run. Now I've encuntered the worst - The root prartition is 6GB big and it might run out of space shortly (700MB left).I had Win XP on it but as soon as I learned openSuse to make basic tasks - i removed the ntfs partition.The HDD is 28GB, I have 6GB root, 7,5GB home, 750MB swap (512MB RAM) ans 14,65GB free space off the deleted NTFS.Is there any way to join the partitions, so the root can be 16GB in space and home around 12GB?

Or maybe just make another second /home partition and use a program to allocate the "missing bytes" from root to another partition if it runs out of space?

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 /dev/sda Missing In Partitions?

Aug 22, 2011

I have an acer travelmate 632 running 11.3.The grandkids have been playing playing frozen bubble in fullscreen mode but the "full screen" was actually only the central part of the monitor.Yesterday, there were a bunch of updates. Today, the kids again played frozen bubble but this time, the "full screen" was really the full screen, not the sub-window. After exiting the game, a window popped up telling me that a monitor had been disconnected and would I like to reconfigure. I said yes.

After reboot, the graphical login failed saying that a serious error had been encountered and that I should consult the KDM logs. I went to console mode but was unable to log in. Neither as root or as the regular user. Both fail with "Login incorrect". In fact, the only way in now is via single-user mode.

Looking through the /var/log/messages, I see a curious set of mesages complaining the, for instance, "/dev/sda4 is not in PARTITIONS" note the upper-case. I then see that, despite what "mount" tells me, ?home (sda4) and /boot (sda1) are not mounted. That is, I cannot list their contents. If I manually mount those partitions, I can list their contents.
