I have a backup of a Windows OS done by Clonezilla but would like to know if its possible to extract the files from a Windows computer from the backup CD where the backup was saved . Can this be done and what software will be able to help.
I have a bunch of split Z files and I want to extract them but I cannot find how. To be more specific I have a file named foo which is compressed into files foo.0Z, foo.1Z foo.2Z. I have tried uncompress but does not work I have tried gunzip,gzip etc but no result either. Even 7zip will not do the work.

To fix it I've heard ndiswrap and so I've downloaded the XP driver from HP's support site (a pavilion dv7-1450us Notebook PC) and met a brick wall. The file is sp45222.exe and it contains seemingly no .bin .inf or .sys files that ndiswrap dearly requires. I've tried extracting it on a windows machine with UniExtract. This gives only three files one of which UniExtract can extract into a compilation of folders none of which have the required files. I've also attempted to use cabextract on my Ubuntubox, but not cabs come out. I have unshield, if that's relevant at all. What on Earth am I doing wrong?

I have downloaded a 2 part .RAR file, and when I used to use them in Windows, I would tell WinRAR to extract the first part, and then it would automatically start extracting part 2 if it was in the same directory. When I try to do the same in Xarchiver it tells me "An error occurred! Please check the 'Store archiver output' option to see it." I don't know what 'store archiver output' is or how to access it. What do I need to do to extract both components and successfully join them?

In Ubuntu the SVN Repositories are not automatically added. You must add them manually. First, download the SVN Repo Installer from: [URL] Extract it to the ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs directory. If this directory does not exist, run XBMC one time and then exit back to Ubuntu. The directory should now exist.
i ran xbmc once (after the video driver problem was solved, though it messed up my dual monitors, gotta figure that one out yet.) i got the zip file, it's in my downloads. now my newbness really shows... i can't find an 'extract' command for gnome, can't find the .xbmc directory using the file browser, can't figure out how to hunt for folders instead of files, and don't know how to look inside folders i don't have permission to, that is, i don't know if there's a 'sudo' like option for the file browser. i've been searching the forums, but without the correct search terms, i'm wading in an ocean. i really want to give ubuntu an honest try, but i feel like a foreigner. EDIT: btw, up to this point, the forums have been invaluable, you all are great.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to develop a method of reading files generated by other programs. I am trying to find the most versatile approach. I have been trying bash, and have been making good progress with sed, however I was wondering if there was a "standard" approach to this sort of thing. The main features I would like to implement concern reading finding strings based on various forms of context and storing them to variables and/or arrays. Here are the most general tasks:
a) Read the first word(or floating point) that comes after a given string (solved in another thread)
b) Read the nth line after a given string
c) Read all text between two given strings
d) Save the output of task a), task b) or task c) (above) into an array if the "given string(s)" is/are not unique.
e)Read text between two non-unique strings i.e. text between the nth occurrence of string1 and the mth occurrence of string2
As far as I can tell, those five scripts should be able to parse just about any text pattern. I am by no means fluent in these languages. But I could use a starting point. My main concern is speed. I intend to use these scripts in a program that reads and writes hundreds of input and output files--each with a different value of some parameter(s).
The files will most likely be no more than a few dozen lines, but I can think of some applications that could generate a few hundred lines. I have the input file generator down pretty well. Parsing the output is quite a bit trickier. And, of course, the option for parallelization will be very desirable for many practical applications.
I made a bzip2 file by
bzip2 -c /home/os/picture1 > /home/os/Desktop/pic.image
bzip2 -c /home/os/picture2 >> /home/os/Desktop/pic.image
But now extracting pic.image by bzip2 -d /home/os/Desktop/pic.image returns
bzip2: Can't guess original name for pic.image -- using pic.image.out
And then it just creates one file pic.image.out.
How do I access picture1 and picture2 from pic.image?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI finally understand why I couldn't get Clonezilla to work on my system. But, I am more baffled than ever.
You see, my system has been in great working order for months. I am running 9.10 32-bit and I keep everything maintained on a daily basis. I just updated to kernel 2.6.32-19 and, like I say, everything is working pretty much perfectly. But, yesterday, I volunteered to help with some official Canonical Ubuntu testing. This morning, I got an email from them that they want me to do the work and giving me instructions on how to proceed. The first thing to do is free up some disk space in order to have a special partition on which to install their testing kernels.
So, I downloaded their suggested tool for doing this, gparted. And, when I ran gparted, the first thing I discovered is that my disk drive has absolutely nothing on it! No partitions, at all. It only sees an empty device, /dev/sda. This is exactly what Clonezilla told me a couple of months ago - no partitions could be located to be backed up.
However, I and Ubuntu think I do have partitions:
Code:
$ df -Th
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 ext3 19G 1.5G 16G 9% /

I am trying to set up clonezilla on pxe so that it will start up and show the drones in the workplace a list of images, they choose the one named after the model of computer, and image it. Which means all clonezilla settings but image need to be set and it should automatically choose default settings at 1024x768 when grub pops up. I have looked for command-line options, scripts to run, etc... so far this is what I have...
Code:
#!/bin/bash
. /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-conf-functions
. /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions
. /etc/ocs/ocs-live.conf
ocs_live_run=`ocs-live-restore`
ocs_live_extra_param=`-p reboot -r hda`
ocs_live_keymap=`NONE`
ocs_live_batch="no"
ocs_lang="en_US.UTF-8"
ocs_daemonon=`samba`
I don't need the bash for selecting the image, but you might as well add that seeing as there's almost no info online for people who want a pxe server...
I am a noob at Ubuntu. I currently have 8.04 and I am looking at upgrading to 8.10 and beyond. I want to make a recovery disk with Clonezilla so if something goes wrong with the upgrade I can go right back to where I am now. I have a 16 Gig thumb drive that I want to boot Clonezilla from. Then I want to burn an image to my DVD burner. I am stuck at one point in the process. I am reading the instructions from[URL]..
This part is where I am stuck is step 4.To make your USB flash drive bootable, first change the working dir, e.g. "cd /media/usb/utils/linux", then run "bash makeboot.sh /dev/sdb1" (replace /dev/sdb1 as your USB flash drive device name), and follow the prompts to finish that. My USB drive is named M-S325 so if I enter cd/ media/M-S325/utils/linux in terminal I get the error no such file or directory. I know it is something stupid simple I am doing wrong, but I am stuck. What do I need to do to make my UBD drive bootable with Clonezilla ?
I have installed Ubuntu 10.4 worked fine, and Clonezilla (including configuring it) -- (though my /etc/networking/interfaces seems to give an error in line 2 I have the following questions)I have installed a second Hd (250Gb) ... and I have formatted it with gparted so it mounts fine and I am able to see it ... is there any way to make it a permanent mount and have Clonezilla use it to store images on it? ... The first HD was formatted LMV during the Ubuntu installation.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used Clonezilla to image a Ubuntu partition of 18GB and restored it to a partition of 30GB. (showing as "sdb1") I understand now that I should have put it onto a partition the same size as the original and then resized that partition with Gparted, but I put it directly onto a larger partition and thought all was well, but now I'm running into disk space warning messages. It still works fine but the OS still seems to think it is still on an 18GB partition and that it is running out of space. The partition "sdb1", is on a large drive I partitioned with Gparted. The various utils I have to look at partitions do not agree:
*Disk Utility reports sdb1 size as 33GB
*KDE Partition Manager reports sdb1 size as 30.28GB with 15.59GB used (therefore 14.69GB free)
*KDiskFree reports sdb1 size as 18.3GB with 1.8GB free
*Gparted reports sdb1 size as 30.28GB with 27.54GB used
*Gparted (used after booting from a Mint installation) give same result
*PROPERTIES (using live knoppix DVD) shows size of files as 16.0GB (16.5GB on disk)
After booting with Knoppix DVD and trying to copy everything onto another drive (to see how many GB there are) gives "invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" error message. how to sort this out, without resizing the partition as I've got a lot of data on the HD now.
I'm something of a Linux noob I must say. I run a community centre and we've been donated 50 ex government PCs to use in basic computing classes. The machines are HP DC7600 CMT tower base units, all with Windows XP Pro license stickers and blank hard drives obviously. set up a Ubuntu machine to clone Windows XP Pro onto a load of identical machines?
I could install all of them from disk and install drivers from pendrive but that would take forever! I like the idea of seting one up as I like it and cloning it across the LAN. Would save a massive amount of downloading updates for each client too. So far I've followed this guide: [URL] I can only get as far as stating up the drbl service (if that is the correct term?) but the terminal says something along the lines of "unknown command"So far I have one fully built base unit to use as the image, one running Ubuntu 10.4 and a 16 port switch (so I can clone 14 at a time?)
I want to backup my entire harddrive and I assume the easiest way to do it is using Clonezilla.
Clonezilla makes an image file....but how do you get the image onto multiple DVD's? When burning the image file does K3B allow you to "change the full DVD" and add another disk?
In other words- any harddrive I have (already filled with 79 Gb) is going to make an image bigger than something that can fit onto a DVD.
I recently set up a Clonezilla server as I have 200+ computers to reimage. Everything was setup and working fine, until I ran into a computer that has a newer BIOS. Grub loads and works fine, but the kernel hangs.
Specs:
Server: Dell OptiPlex 740
Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop x32, kernel 2.6.35-30 generic
Clonezilla version: 2.3.8-32
[code]...
So as mentioned above when I boot the client from PXE to image it, Grub loads, and as it tries to boot, the following lines appear:
Loading vmlinuz-pxe....
Loading initrd-pxe.img.....ready.
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)....ok
[screen flickers then returns to the above text. Freezes.]
I updated the bios on a machine that previously worked to confirm/replicate the problem. How do I fix this?
