I just create a vm image with 2 CPUs to be used on a one CPU machine. it works great. Now, i am thinking about creating a 64 bits Redhat VM image to be run on my 32 bits machine. Is that possible?
View 2 Replieswhen I reformat ubuntu, I use AptonCD to save packages and then restore them without downloading anything over again. what I want to know is: I have the 32 bits ubuntu installed and then I downloaded the 64 bits version. If i reformat to the 64 bits one, would the DVD saved aptoncd packages from the 32 bits work on the 64 bits installation?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm quite new to linux and I recently (and courageously) upgraded the computer of my work from opensuse 11.0 32bits to opensuse 11.2 64bits.
Well, everything would be quite fine except that I still have some softwares 32 bits that have the 64 bits version available. I know that because, using YaST, I can see by the Installed software section that there are 'choices' of versions for some programs; these versions are 'i586' and 'x86_64', and many of them have the i586 version installed.
So, I wonder if there is some type of auto upgrade all programs which are i586 and have the matching x86_64 avaliable...
Can I install Linux 32 bits on system 64 bits?
For example if I have cpu 64 bits, can I install ubuntu 32 bits?
If yes, all drivers will befor 32 bits, right?
I notice this in all my machines (32bits and 64bits).

The printers are ancient Newbury data dot matrix wide carriage with 7 data bits receive 8 data bits transmit Xon/Xoff flow control.

Also, I want to know if I want to run 64 bits of Fedora, what do I need ?
just in case: My CPU is "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz"
If Fedora 14 is a 32 or 64 bit system?.
Next, I am going to build a new pc and have bought the following parts:-
1.Motherboard -Asus M4A88T-M
2CPU-AMD Athlon 11 x3 445 3.1
3.RAM-Kingston Hyperx 4GB
4.Hardrive- Samsung 1TB Spinpioint
If anyone has any tips about building a pc I would be most grateful.
I am a bit concerned that the cd supplied with the motherboard may not be compatible with the linux system, and therefore I shall have to go on the 'net' to download the drivers.
What do the 'none' bits mean?

I tried posting the following over at the Sabayon forum but its pretty quiet over there and this quiestion could relate to any two other distros, question:-
I have dual booted an acer 5220 laptop with Sabayon 4 and Ubuntu - Ubuntu was first on there and 8.10 saw my wifi card straight away, (in fact 8.4 saw it but only after conecting via ethernet to do the first round of updates) but Sabayon 4 just will not connect via wifi - Is it possible to take the working wifi part of the ubuntu installation? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? I love the look of Sabayon.
I had an old laptop which ran Slackware-current, but it died. As a replacement I got a great Toshiba Qosmio laptop with Win7 SP1.
Now 13.37 is nearing, and I would like to install it on a dual-boot setting with Win7.
My previous laptop was a 1.5 GHz Celeron M single core, 32-bit only. You might guess it wasn't exactly a speed demon.
However, this laptop has as a CPU a Centrino Intel Core 2 Duo T5450, which is 64-bit capable. Therefore, I would like to ask the following:
* Which one is better: 32 or 64 bit Slack?
* If the answer is 64 bit, what is the difference multilib makes?
* If I choose to install the 64-bit version of Slack, should I take some special precautions, or are there some things I must have in mind regarding its difference with 32-bit Slack?
Notes:
1. When I talk about 64-bit Slack, I'm meaning the official 64-bit Slackware Linux (i.e., not BlueWhite64 or similar).
2. When I am speaking about multilib, I'm meaning the multilib setup of AlienBob.
recently the update notifier get me the news that I have to uptdate my Mozilla Thunderbird mail client (now version 3.06) to the newest version 3.0.10. Well, no problem I say to myself and I click in "Install updates" as I usually do. Well, the problem appeared: for this v. of Thunderbird I need the package nss-3.12-8 the update manager somehow does not retireve it and I have the last (not testing version ) of nss-3.12.7-6.
I thought then to install manually and downloading nss-3.12.8-2 from RPMfind and also its dependencies nss-softtkn-3.12.8-1 , nss-softkon-freebl-3.12.8-1 and nss-util-3.12.8-1 (all the versions for my version of fedora 12, and my architecture x86-64). All went well installing the dependencies of nss, but when I tried to install nss-3.12.8-2 I get the following message
Quote:
Errorrs in the proof of transaction: package nss-softokn-3.12.8-1.fc12.x86_64 (which is newer than nss-softokn-3.12.7-6.fc12.i686) is already installed
package nss-util-3.12.8-1.fc12.x86_64 (which is newer than nss-util-3.12.7-2.fc12.i686) is already installed
Well, in this way I could not get install nss and therefor also can not install the last version of Thunderbird!
how I can install truecrypt on Opensuse 11.2 32 bits. I've made a search trough Yast and the opensuse 1-click install website but could not find any package for truecrypt.
Is there an alternative way to install with software? so any solution that does not fall into the category of Yast or web-based installation of packages will be exotic for me

I was trying to install openSUSE 11.2 64 bits from the second partition of my 8GB USB pendrive.
Why? I want a dual data / emergency install pendrive without mixing my data with the install system.
As most people use MS Windows, and it's only able to mount the first partition of USB removable drives (without installing an alternative USB disk driver), I need the first partition to be the data partition for normal pendrive use.
Ok, I must say I've accomplished this with Ubuntu before without major problems.
Well, as of now, I've copied the ISO image contents to that second partition, installed Grub4DOS in the MBR with its corresponding custom menu.lst file, and made bootable the second partition.
When booting my system from the pendrive, the kernel was loaded without problems, but the boot process stopped with a message indicating that there was no device with MBRID = 0x8c71ad6e.
Ok, I ran fdisk from Linux and diskpart from Windows, and find the MBRID for my PenDrive is 0xed196ecb.
I've modified the /boot/grub/mbrid file with the actual pendrive MBRID, but the system refuses to boot with the same error (and with the correct MBRID).
Is it possible that the install system is only able (is hardcoded) to boot only from the first partition?
I upgraded to openSUSE 11.4 from 11.3. Under 11.3 64 bits I had a wonderful wireless internet connection. Since the new installation, I do not succeed to get my computer on line. I'm glad that for the time being, I can use my Windows XP SP3 dual boot system.
Here are a few tests I ran :

Although I run this command as root, I get the message Encryption key : off

so, this seems to be ok.
But then I want to ping samba.org :

which gives this result :
What struck me is that apparently both drivers rt2500usb AND rt73usb are loaded. Is that necessary ? What struck me as well is that I can't get my encryption key when issueing the command iwconfig as root: it seems to be off ?
Then when I studied the hardware-info (via YAST), I got also this :
this bluetooth connection doesn't work on my computer, previously I hadn't got problen on Ubuntu.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot (WinXp, Ubuntu) on my machine. Unbuntu is installed in the same partition of WinXp. Evertime i have to access a windows file or folder i mount the windows drive using the following command
Code:
sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sda1 /media/c
This works just fine. My problem is that all the files are loaded with -rwxrwxrwx and the directories drwxrwxrwx. I cannot change the file mode bits using chmod even in su mode. chmod incidentally works just fine and does not give any error. But the file mode bits are still the same.
I installed recently Ubuntu 10.04 32 bits server CD to USB stick (EXT4). The target machine is an 500Mhz VIA Epia Pico-ITX equipped with 1Gb of memory. This x86 server will run one or two processes 24/7 actively in memory. Therefore not too many writes to disk, maybe once or twice a week editing config files. Also I compiled the latest vanilla kernel, 2.6.35.4 atm, and optimised for VIA C3. However I like to limit my question in this thread to limit disk writes on USB stick, please let me know if you know other good tweaks to apply I did not find (overlooked) here.
