I have a lightbox runnign an old CPU pentium III with Debian Stable with Icewm. It works very well, I have not Gnome nor KDE because they are too demanding in ressources. I am glad of using app running often GTK, e.g. geany with rocks. since I would like to do cropping or "screenshooting" with a given screen area selection, a clone of Kscreeshot would be ideal. Anyone would know what could be employed for that purpose?

View 5 Replies View Relatedi recently installed Debian Lenny on my dad's EEE 900A. I initally tried Ubuntu's 10.04 version but it gave me problems with the WiFi function keys. Debian took me a while to configure based on the excellent Debian EEE wiki, and everything's so much saner now.
I installed Debian Lenny using LVM2, spanning the files over the built-in 4 GB SSD and a plugged-in 8 GB SDHC card. I followed the instructions in this wiki to set it up. I was wondering if there's a way to easily clone this system so that if my dad accidently screws it up the in the future, he would be able to restore it back easily. Obviously, he would have to make backups of his documents, etc. on a separate drive so he can restore them back after the cloned image with the basic drivers, partitions, apps, etc. is restored.
Here's the system's info. There are three partitions on /dev/sda (the SSD) and one partition of /dev/sdb (the SDHC card). /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb1 have been combined to create a Volume Group, called 'vol-1'. 'vol-1' has two Logical Volumes - 'root' and 'home'. The file system on all partitions is reiserfs.

I'm new to fedora (still trying it out) but have many years of experience on other distributions -- mostly gentoo. Anyway, I'm wondering if someone can tell me what all is needed to clone a fedora install. I cloned the partitions, updated fstab with real device node entries (removed all the UUID stuff), and modified grub.conf with the same changes (as well as all the normal/misc changes needed in /etc for things like hostname, network, ethx naming, etc). However when I try to boot it complains that it cant find the old UUID.
I thought this might be specified in the initrd but I uncompressed it and couldn't find any reference to the uuid anywhere. Where does fedora keep this UUID information at? Right now I'm just trying to clone a mythdora box to another one but in the past I've configured a single gentoo install and cloned it on dozens of other computers.
I have a dual boot of winxp and fedora 12 on a sata laptop hdd in an external USB enclosure. I need to use the hdd for something else, so I want to create a clone image of the drive that I can later restore to a different hdd I put into the enclosure. What is the best method of doing this? Can I boot up into Linux on my external and create a single cloned image and save that image to the internal hdd on my computer? If so how do I do this? Is it a native function of Fedora or do I have to install a separate program?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem logging into the GUI after I cloned this system from another drive. System A and System B are essentially identical except for hostname, IP, and some nfs mappings. System B's HD went bad. I bought a new drive of the same size, but Western Digital instead of Samsung. I used CloneZilla to copy all of System A's drive to the new System B's drive. I mounted the drive into System B, booted with a SUSE 11.4 Live CD, and edited fstab and menu.lst to reflect the ID of the new drive. Everything works well until it gets to the graphical log in screen. I can't log in as either the user or root, however if I change the session type to "console", I can log in just fine.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI used opensuse three years ago. Then I moved to ubuntu, because it was easier for me to use ubuntu at that time. Now, I move back to opensuse again. But I want to know how to clone the opensuse system to another hard disk. I mean I have my opensuse well, I do backup to my opensuse system and restore it to another harddisk with the same partition.
When I used ubuntu, I used a very good small open-source software, named 'Ucloner'. You can find it at ucloner - Backup/restore/clone your Ubuntu, and make Live-Ubuntu. - Google Project Hosting . It is very handy to backup the ubuntu system and restore or clone it to a new harddisk. Especially, when restoring the system, the grub can be installed to the new harddisc automatically with the UUID of the new harddisc (very amazing). But it is only for ubuntu. I am looking for a software with the similar function.
I have tried Clonezilla. No problem to do backup and restore. But I failed to boot the restored system even with the same harddisc. I know it is the problem of GRUB. Even reinstalling the grub, I still can not boot into the system.
My question is
1. is there any software that allows me to backup the opensuse and restore it to another harddisc with the grub installed to the new harddisc automatically?
2. If no software for question 1, what software or application is good to backup and restore the opensuse and how to reinstalled the grub to the new harddisc with different UUID?
3. Since the Ucloner is open-source, is there anybody having interest in change the ucloner code to fit for opensuse? I guess there should be much change, because ubuntu and opensuse are linux both?
I have come across an issue when cloning an SD card.I have a SheevaPlug, which is a low power ARM based computer. I used an Intel based HP laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 to clone the 4GB SD card of the SheevaPlug. The card contains 2 partitions: the boot image, and the root filesystem. I did this using dd directly from one 4GB card to a second 4GB card (sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc), and also by dumping the first card to an image file and then from the image file to the second card.
The process worked successfully in that the SheevaPlug seems to run fine off the cloned card, but here�s the strange thing: when I use Gparted to examine the original card, it shows it has 2 partitions. However, when I do the same with the cloned card, Gparted detects no partitions at all. Ubuntu seems to mount the partitions fine as well. Anyone have any idea what might be happening? I thought DD was supposed to perform a bit-for-bit copy of the whole device given the parameters I used, and that Gparted should therefore show identical results no matter which card it was looking at
I tried to recreate my Grub setup after restoring a backup tar file to a new hard drive. Here is what I did.
I created a tar backup of my working 9.10 server install. I used fdisk to create the same partition structure as the old hard drive:
sda1 Primary bootable ext4 (83)
sda2 Extended
sda5 Linux / swap (82)
I mounted the new drive with the newly created partitions on the current system and extracted the tar backup to the new sda1 partition. I then recreated all the directories which were excluded in the tar backup (mnt, media, home, proc, sys, etc).
I then shut down, unplugged the old OS hard drive, plugged the new hard drive into the same cable as the old OS HD and powered it up. It told me that there was a GRUB error.
I did some looking around and found that I could use an Ubuntu Live CD to fix/install Grub on that hard drive. I burnt a 9.10 desktop CD, booted, installed Grub and here I am.
I am having a difficult time figuring out the GRUB commands.
This is what I was planning on doing:
Code:
1. Pop in the Live CD, boot from it until you reach the desktop.
2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty.
3. Type "grub"

1. If I run macchanger after login and set the mac to the correct one everything works perfectly. But as soon as I reboot it reverts back to the old mac.
2. If I use the network settings (i.e., the tray icon in the top right) to spoof the mac, then I get no connection. Eventually it does connect (I'm talking about a 10 minute wait) then I get kicked off after a few minutes.
3. If I edit the /etc/network/interfaces files there is no setting for et0. All that is in the file is:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
If I add the settings for et0 then I get the same problems as in 2. The settings I've been adding are.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 160Gb Hard drive with 3 partitions. sda1, sda2, sda3. sda1 & 2 are just under 20 GB each. the other 120 GB is free space. I have so many 40GB hard drives! I would like to copy (with dd) the MBR, sda1 & 2 to a 40GB hard drive and be able to just use that so I can free up my 160GB hard drives. Typically when I want to clone something, the drives are equal or larger than the original. I'm not too sure about this, and if I use code (show below), will I also get the MBR? #where sda is the 160gb with 3 partitions and drive sdb is a 40GB drive with 2 partitions.
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=sdb1
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=sdb1
Also, is there a way I can do this with 1 line, or have both dd operations running simultaneously?
