Ubuntu :: How To Install On A Sdhc
Jul 24, 2010
I just got a eee pc 2g (i know kinda cheap lol) but i cant do nothing on it because of the 2Gb drive and the OS installed on it (there's no support anymore for it), so i want to install ubuntu 10.4 NBR on a 8Gb SDHC card that I have so the question is it can be done? I want to have it installed on the card and be able to boot up from it. I already did the installation and it went smooth a little slow but no errors reported, but when the computer restarts and boots I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor (i have set the BIOS to boot from the SDHC card)

I have an EeePC 4g netbook which only has a 4Gb hard drive and I thought I would like to install Fedora 13 on an 8 Gb SDHC card and use it to boot the netbook.
As neither the netbook nor I have an optical drive, I made a bootable USB memory stick using Unetbootin which boots the netbook and could be used like a live CD to install Fedora.
On booting with the live USB stick, with the blank SD card in place, and clicking on the install icon, the installation starts but then there are 2 problems; the first is that the installer appears to want to install to both the SD card and also the USB stick. There is a tick in the box beside the USB stick which I can't remove.
I decided to ignore that and put a tick in the box beside the SD card but when it got to the point where it creates partitions it said "Could not find enough free space for automatic partitioning. Please use another partitioning method"
Surely 8 GB is more than enough space for partitioning, so where am I going wrong and why does it want to install on the USB stick as well?

Yesterday, my Windows 7 machine managed to somehow destroy a SD card with some pictures on it. Now, every time the card is inserted into a computer running windows, or the camera it came from, it asks to be reformatted. Obviously I would like to recover the pictures from the card.
I tried a scanning the card with a windows program "card recovery" and the program was able to scan the card and find the images on it. But I have to pay $40 to actually copy them from the card to the computer.
So I did some digging and tried to find a way to recover the data for free using my Ubuntu machine.
Some details about my hardware:
Running Ubuntu 9.04
SD card: 8Gb SDHC from PNY Optima
The camera was a Nikon D5000
What I have done so far: I used ddrescue to create an image of the card. However, at this point, most of the instructions I found only have you try and mount the image. Then I used the testdisk utility and the mmls utility from the SluethKit to try and find a partition on the SD card image that I could mount. Both of these programs failed to identify a partition on the card.

I am using UNE 10.04 and when I place my SDHC card in my netbook's built in sd card reader it doesn't do anything and shows no signs of the cards existence. I am dual booting with windows 7 which does recognize the card.

I have a small laptop that came pre-loaded with Windows 7. It's an HP dm3-1030US. I would like to run Ubuntu 10.04 on it. It's a small laptop with a 13.3" screen and no CD/DVD so there's no room for a second HDD and I don't want to dual boot "Too many issues" and I don't have the Windows disk in case anything gets messed up. I have run Ubuntu from a Supertalent 16GB SLC thumb drive but ran out of room after a few updates. Does anyone have experience using a 32GB SDHC SLC for Ubuntu? I'am looking at this one: [URL].

This little darling will check the r/w performance of HC memory cards....in some fashion or other. As [mis-] fortune would have it, I own a failed TRANSCEND 16G SDHC SERIES 6 memory card. Posting to the HMC-150 video camera users group on the diagnosis. I really, really need some expert feedback on the interpretation of the analysis generated by the Drive Utility. Posting attached screen shots of: LS-1 Bad TRANSCEND SDHC and LS-2 GOOD TRANSCEND SDHC.

I have an 8 gig ssd Dell vostro that has been running ubuntu linux successfully for several months. Linux is the only O.S. on the machine. Wishing to have more room I inserted a new 32 Gig SDHC card in the card slot and did an ext4 format and then did an install using the 10.10 disk that did the original install. Everything seemed to proceed as expected, but it rebooted using the 8 Gig drive. The 32 Gig card appears to have all the proper files. How do I get it to boot from that card?

When installing Fedora 11 (Gnome, from live CD), is it possible to use a SDHC card for the /home partition?
The reason I'm asking: having heard that Fedora 11 should support the EeePC 701, I decided to try the installation, following this guide. I created the partitions as in the guide, with the exception that in the place of a 16 gb secondary SSD I have a 16 gb SDHC card. The installation ends in an unhandled exception.
I tried various different partitioning systems, always however putting the /home partition on the SDHC card, because if I select only the machine's 4 gb SSD to be used in the installation, I'm told that there is insufficient space. Whatever I try, I always get the unhandled exception error. So, I'm wondering if this is due to trying to use the SDHC card for the /home partition.
I'm afraid I didn't save the error message details, and since installed OpenSUSE on the eeePC, but this started bugging me.

I would like to install fedora onto a memory card 16Gb kingstone SDHC that I use in a ACER aspire one
I followed the instruction on the website and I found the following problem:
The wireless and Ethernet hardware where either not found or, if they were found, they did't work and there were no possibilities to make it work.
The strange thing is that almost every time after I attempted to boot form the memory when booting window as usual, the Ethernet hardware was not found anymore also under window!

I have an HPDV7 running 11.3.
I have a new 16GB SDHC memory card.
It is formatted FAT-32 LBA
When I plug the the card into the DV7's internal MMC/SD card slot, it automounts as /dev/mmcbkl0p1.
I can then access files (camera images) on the card with Dolphin, etc.
When I plug the card into an external card reader(USB interface), automount fails and I can see a long string of messages from dmesg. It is attempting to mount it as /dev/sdd, I see numerous I/O errors as it attempts to read various sectors.
The card reader is a Kingston FCR-HS219/1.
The 16GB SDHC card in the Kingston card reader combo works on my WinXP machine, so (apparently) the combo does work.
A 2GB SD card (FAT16) in the Kingston reader works on both WinXP and the HPDV7 11.3 laptop.

I have tried putting the SDHC card in before switching on laptop, after, unmounting and remounting several times... on the odd occasion (1/10?) it reads fine, but more often than not, i can see thumbnails of all the images but on opening the file it comes out wrong...either most of the image is a grey block - so can see a tiny bit of sky then its as if it hasn't rendered the whole image...or, the image is striped horizontally, with as if a film negative has been shredded and then misaligned with the colours going wrong...is there an update, something to install to fix this? ETA: - its not the card which works perfect on other laptops and its not the card reader it opens fine in windows 7 on the same computer.

After reading a SDHC (camera) card with my computer in a non-HC compatible card reader, i guess i destroyed the partition table.
After getting a SDHC-compatible reader i found it seems there is no part. table on the card and no fdisk(1), badblocks(1) can read that card.
Seems they will wait forever to get a part table.
dmesg says:
How to recover the card?

F12 on my aspire one (A110, the original 8Gb SSD model) works well with only one significant problem.
Suspend fails; the screen fades to black, backlight stays on, macine stops responding to keyboard/mouse/powerswitch and just hangs (for at least an hour... longest I left it). Only thing that works is a 5 second click of death on the powerswitch. Plus an FSCK on at least one occasion after reboot. I have not been able to check if SSH and shutdown possible (on vacation) plus have logs go to a tmpfs (to save my SSD) so no log info. Similarly I cannot confirm if this affects hibernate because I run without a swapfile (SSD again, i.5Gb ram installed and I have never come even close to running out of memory).
But I think I have the culprit anyway:[url]
As described there; shutdown fails if there is a mounted card in the cardreader slot (/dev/mmcblk0) My system has a 4Gb SDHC card in the LH slot with a single XFS filesystem; which has my homedir on it; if I unmount that filesystem (but do not remove the card) shutdown and restore appear to work properly. But if the filesytem is mounted I get the bsod. Linked bug suggests this is restricted to large filesystems (?SDHC?) but I have not fully confirmed, although that matches my situation.
Posting here to see if anyone has any further info/workarounds, to ensure the fedora crew are aware that this appears to affect F12 (and is a regression, F11 suspended fine) and make sure it is documented somewhere. The linked bug also states similar bad suspend activity on other netbooks.
I'll try some other variations (and see if it also happens with USB sticks/RH cardrader, and report back here.

I am wondering if it would be possible to format an 8g SDHC card in a way that it will be able to be written to and read by an SD reader?
Reading about SDHC vs SD suggests that the only difference is the block/cluster/byte configurations. Is that true?
Could I format the 8g FAT32 SDHC with gparted to a 1g FAT16 partition with the rest of the space left un-formatted so an SD reader could handle it?

If I install the factory release now, can I easily convert my system to a normal 11.3 point release later, after 11.3 is out? If so, how would I do it? (11.2 has an issue that affects me. It's fixed in 11.3 already, so I have to use 11.3 if I'm going to use openSUSE.)

i have a backtrack install that i would like to keep while installing suse for an everyday OS; i start the install process but when it gets to partitioning the hard drive, it doesnt seem to recognize anything already being on there; it just gives me the setup for suse, ie:
sda1 ext3 = OS sda2 or sda5 = swap. do i have to configure a partition scheme? i installed ubuntu on a desktop alongside windows very easily due to grub graphical install/partition; is there not a similar function for suse?

I have an apparently stable installation of Xubuntu that I've hand-tweaked in a few ways. I'd like to be able to reinstall this system verbatim on this machine should a disk crash happen, etc.Is there a "standard" method to create an install and/or total-backup CD that would be an instantiation of the currently-installed-and-modified system?

I am installing Ubuntu Server 10.10 on and old Dell Laptop. The network connection is an Xircom PCMCIA card.During install, the computer sees and interacts via the network just fine. For example, I can ping the gateway. Also, the command "lspcmcia" works and show the Xircom card.When I reboot, however, there is no network access, and the "lspcmcia" command is not there. When I try "lspcmcia" the OS helpfully tells me that I can "apt-get" pcmciautils, but, without network access, that fails.I tried adding the install cdrom to apt using "apt-cdrom" and then tried to "apt-get" pcmciautils and it got further, installing some dependencies, but acted like it still was unable to locate the pcmciautils package.

I'm an OpenSuse user wanting to try something different.Ubuntu Studios caught my attention. I had a brief play with an older version a while ago and liked whatI saw.Im having problems installing though.I've downloaded the 32bit version from the studio website link, and burnt the DVD.However the install always fails at the same stage: Select and install software.The error message is not specific, and no more information is given other than the step has failed.Any ideas what could be causing this? Ive tried to burn the DVD several times, on 2 different machines, but no luck so far.

I am a rookie. Yesterday, I intended to install a dictionary with the command sudo apt-get install dict-xdict, but it turned out to fail with the error. Then, I quited with Ctrl+ c, and I did not care much till today because when I want install something else today, the error keeps coming out. Therefore, I think I would better remove dict-xdict first, so I use sudo apt-get remove dict-xdict, but the error still appears:
[Code]...
I have already tries sudo apt-get -f install dict-xdict and it doesn't work out. I am hoping to install some other applications now, but I have not idea what I could do to fix this problem or just circumvent it

Toward the end of installing Ubuntu 10.10 32bit (Alt CD) on my iMac 11,1, the installer asked me to type in the location for installing the grub boot loader.
I told it to use /dev/sda3 and it immediately failed. I'm still in the installer. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Here are my partitions on sda:
...from the shell in the installer, there is no grub.cfg in /target/boot/grub.

I'm trying to migrate from Ubuntu to OpenSUSE but for some reason I can't get the install to work. I've tried installing the GNOME live CD both from a CD and a USB but after I select installation it goes to the loading screen for a few seconds and then the screen goes black and it stays like that till I reboot. Is it a problem with my hardware or something or did something miss-write when I burned the CD/USB?
