Ubuntu :: Install Parted Magic On USB From Live CD
Mar 8, 2010I want to install Parted Magic on my USB drive from my GParted live Cd. I don't want to install any OS. I have tried the procedure on Parted Magic's site but it hasn't helped.
Note: I am mainly stuck at this step:
Quote:
In Linux, write the Syslinux MBR to the USB drive (this is not needed when you have already a bootable MBR on the USB drive). A copy of mbr.bin is included in the USB version of Parted Magic. It's located in boot/syslinux. Change directory to the root of the USB drive that the Parted Magic files were copied to, and use this command:
cat boot/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdx
This file is located in this place on my PC as taken from the GParted file manager address bar /media/Leopard/Users/Piyush/Desktop/untitled folder/pmagic-usb-4.8/boot
Ummm... Could anyone write a command for this?

Jun 19, 2015Parted Magic doesn't detect the SSD for some reason. I've been trying to install ANY form of Linux onto my chromebook, wiping the SSD first and then installing Linux to it. For the last few months actively trying to do so, all has failed. I decided to get an m.2 connector that plugins into a gpu slot to connect it to my desktop (the SSD is micro-sized...) and it fits perfectly, but when opening Parted Magic from a simple USB drive, all my devices show up except my SSD.
Previously, the installations of Linux onto my Chromebook have always failed with a "not enough memory" message, trying all solutions found online and responding to other's posts, they suggested me to do this since they can't see the problem either. I never knew a basic wipe on an SSD, and installation of Linux would be so difficult. Everyone online says "it's so easy even without crouton" and is plug-in-play essentially. No, it is not.
Ubuntu Installation :: Boot To The Parted Magic Graphical Session The PC Hanged?
May 24, 2011The problem is when I boot from the lubuntu CD & select Try Lubuntu or Install Lubuntu the computer hangs. Xubuntu 10.04 was aready installed & I could easily boot to it. I thought may be some partition table error is causing that issue & I deleted all the existing partitions with Parted Magic Cd in Console Mode.
NB: When I tried to boot to the Parted Magic graphical session the PC hanged then too.I am totally confused. Cant understand what is going wrong here. I am now left with a broken system.
General :: Unetbootin Parted Magic - Shows In Boot List But Won't Boot
Nov 1, 2010Alright so I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer a wubi install of ubuntu to an actual partition using LVPM. I need to use unetbootin with parted magic mounted (not sure if that's the right term) to my hard disk rather than a bootable flash drive. So I set everything up, downloaded parted magic ISO, ran unetbootin and selected the file everything installed smoothly. I then restart my computer and unetbootin is indeed in the boot list but when I select it, it remains at a black screen. I left it at the black screen for about ten minutes and nothing happened. I've tried a few times and nothing.

Feb 18, 2010When I run 'parted' and then type 'print' to see the partitions that are available, I see two entries: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. /dev/sda1 is of ext3 type whereas for /dev/sda2 nothing is specified for file system type. The LVM flags are set for /dev/sda2.
When I tried to resize /dev/sda2, it gives me the error "File system type not recognized". let me know how to find out the file system type of the partition.
OpenSUSE Install :: Magic "reset The Desktop To Default" Command?
Dec 26, 2010I've been trying to get multiple monitors going on my laptop (thru the HDMI port) and did fairly well, but the ribbon/panel/whatever (at the bottom of the screen with launcher, etc.) is now gone and I can't find it (even with zoom-out). At first it was only gone when I disconnected the external monitor, but was present when both monitors were attached. Now it's always gone. Is there a magic reset-the-desktop to default (without reinstall) command?

Ubuntu Installation :: Make A Live-USB Containing Among Others Both Desktop I386 And Desktop AMD64
May 1, 2010I want to make a live-USB containing among others both Ubuntu desktop i386 and Ubuntu desktop AMD64. How do I go about this? I tried using unetbootin, first adding i386 and then amd64, but that failed. My computer with an athlon II did manage to boot, and showed it had booted into the 64-bit version (ram shown was 3.9 GB, i386 goes to about 2.7 I think), my wife's computer with a pentium 4 did not manage to boot, got to a black screen. I think this is because casper has issues, being overwritten (I'd seen something to that effect somewhere), and thus only the latest version added being booted (in this case amd 64).
I'm under the impression that the startup disc creator included won't help, nor won't the multicd.sh script, so how do I circumvent the issues?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: 10.04 Live CD Blacks Out Monitor?
Jun 4, 2010I was checking out the ubuntu 10.04 live cd before deciding to install it but after choosing to try it ou, my monitor just stays black. I cannot see anything, nothing happens. If I do a ctl-alt-delete it does a shutdown (I see the shutting down progress bar). I tried with the xubuntu 10.04 live cd and the same thing happens. I checked both CDs md5sum and they are good (matching what they are supposed to be).
Is there a change in how 10.04 handles ATI video cards ? My guess is something not working with my ATI Radeon 9600XT. Can this be fixed or do I have to forget every new releases since 10.04 ???
Ubuntu Installation :: Can Not Run Live Cd Monitor Input Out Of Range?
Nov 7, 2010this has happened with a few different attempts of ubuntu based distros lately ... i try to boot a live cd it gets to where it starts loading and the monitor pops off and says input out of range ... im aware that this is a known bug with xorg choosing either the wrong resolution or refresh rate ... but what the heck are we supposed to do , i can't get far enough into the boot process that i can open a terminal and try to bypass xorg ... so will all future distributions of ubuntu just be out of the question for me ? if you ask me what needs to be done is make the installer ASK what resolution you want to attempt to boot at .... similar to what puppy does

View 0 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Incorrect File System Space Reported By System Monitor?
Apr 3, 2011In System Monitor, on the File Systems tab, the "Total", "Available" and "Used" columns don't seem to add up, and the "Used" percentage doesn't seem correct either.
My config:
/dev/sda1 = 80 GB SSD drive, / partition.
/dev/sdb1 = 50 GB FAT32 partition of an external 500 GB USB hard disk.
/dev/sdb2 = remainder of the 500 GB USB hard disk encrypted using luks.
Screenshot: The /dev/sda1 figures don't really add up well, but they're close at least (how you get "50% Used" from any of those figures I don't know!).
However, for /dev/sdb2, they're miles off:
"Free" = 146.2 GiB
"Total" = 409.7 GiB
"Available" = 125.4 GiB
"Used" = 263.5 GiB
