I have installed Lucid and Maverick RC alongside each other (separate partitions) but sharing a home partition. My question is can I log in to my lucid account from maverick? It does not appear on my maverick login page but it is accessible from my places menu (home).
View 2 RepliesI currently run Linux Mint as sole OS and with a separate /home partition. I have a small (12GB) unused partition on my HDD where I would like to install Ubuntu 10.10. I have a lot of data on my /home partition and instead of giving Ubuntu its own separate /home partition I just want it to share the same /home partition as Mint.
I realize that I can get access to all my home files from Ubuntu anyway but I thought it would make more sense to have both OS�s use the same /home partition.
Then I got to thinking that perhaps this may not be a good idea at all. I am not sure how this all works but I got worried that this may cause some incompatibilities that I do not know about.
Question: Is this a good idea? If yes, how do I need to go about installing Ubuntu, meaning that should I then during the installing process choose the empty partition to be used as / only and the current /home also as the Ubuntu /home? without formatting it so as not to loose my data? Or is there a correct/safer way to do this?
(Just as explanation, I like both Mint 10 and Ubuntu 10,10, and both run very stable on my system. I use my computer for work and need a stable system, but as we all know sometimes things can go wrong and mostly after a new update. So my thinking is that when I have both Distro`s on my laptop and one crashes I could still boot from the other and save the day.)
So I got a brand new macbook pro yesterday, and I like it! But I really don't want to go "all mac" at this point, so want to make this machine dual boot with Ubuntu.
It occurs to me that what I *should* be able to do is partiton the hard drive something like so:
And a /swap partition in there as well, of course. The point being that I'm thinking it should be possible to edit /etc/fstab to mount sda4 (above) to /home when I boot up under Ubuntu, and have OSX mount the same partition to /Users when I boot into OSX, thus allowing me to access all user data easily in either OS.
However, I don't know much about macs...
So I'm thinking I'm looking at two issues. First, what filesystem should I format /dev/sda4 (above) as if I want this to work? Does OSX support ext4, or would I be better off trying to get HFS+ support under Ubuntu?
Second, what would be required to get OSX to mount /dev/sda4 to /Users at boot? That is, what is the OSX equivalent of editing /etc/fstab?
Just a general question: If I have /home on a separate partition, is it possible to mount that /home partition on multiple distributions (Ubuntu, SuSE for example) on the same PC?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am planning to build a small cluster for parallel computing. The first step would be to make sure all the machines can communicate with each other without requiring password. Now I am experiencing problem with the regular method of RSA shared key authentication method, since the /home is shared for all machines from a NFS filesystem. Thus, I do not understand how to distinguish the id_rsa file generated by ssh-keygen for all different machines.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop running two versions of openSUSE, 11.2 & 11.3M5. I'm using a shared /home partition for both.I would like to have different desktop settings for each version but haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Primarily different wallpaper or background color.I know I could use different users on each version, but then I wouldn't have access to all the sub-folders from the other user.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a server which serves up home directories and users for the other machines. So when you login to one of the other machines your home directory is stored on the server. The problem here is, some of the client machines are running Red Hat and others are running Ubuntu and this causes configuration errors in some applications (e.g. Gnome).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI dual boot into Arch Linux and OS X 10.6 on my MacBook pro. I synced my UID between both OSes and created an HFS partition (with no journaling) to use as a shared home/Users partition. For the most part it works just as I'd expect, but sometimes when I'm booted into OS X certain files are "locked" (when I get info on a particular file the "Locked" box is checked under the "General" pane. I can resolve the issue by manually unchecking the box) and/or I get "Operation not permitted" when I try deleting or chmod'ing a file. In both cases I don't see anything out of the ordinary on the permission bits displayed with ls -l, except for a trailing '@' character in the position where the sticky bit would normally occur:
This '@' character shows up on ALL normal files, so doesn't seem to be linked to the locked/operation not permission situation.
On the Linux side of things I never have permission problems. To the best of my limited knowledge and experience with ACLs I've not found any ACLs on any of the files in question.
For what it's worth, I do most of my file editing using emacs (Aquamacs in OSX), is it possible it is setting weird permission bits?
What is the "locked" setting that OS X uses and does it have a permission bit equivalent (so at the very least I could recursively unlock all files in my home directory from the terminal) why might some, but not other files get "locked" when booting into OS X what is the meaning of the '@' character?
I am looking into encrypting some data on a Fedora samba server. I'm not entirely sure the best way to do this. The server is currently running Fedora 5 but it can be updated if necessary.
I would prefer if the server could be booted up and that no interaction at the server itself have to be done so that users can access their shares.
Is there a way for the data to be encrypted on the server but when the user access the share over samba that it can be accessed?
The research i have done so far seems to point towards methods more intended for a desktop setup. Such as entering passwords at bootup or when opening folders.
I am using rhel5 running as samba PDC.Most of the user save their data on a common folder on the server.Now I want to backup this data to some other location to have redundancy.It could be external USB HDD or other folder on the same server.How to create backup script and automate it using cron.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter adding a second ubuntu variant to this machine I wanted to share the home directories so I had easy access to the same files regardless. so I read up on modifying home directories and put in the correct location and then rebooted. On boot-up the system warned me that it could not access the "shared" home directory and after a few more errors and warnings ended up at a blank screen with a mouse pointer!. All I can do is access a term window (ctrl-alt f4). So what I need is to know is where the user properties are stored so I can go and edit those from term rather than the usual way!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx to dual boot with Vista Business on a Toshiba Port�g� R500. Everything seems to be working great out of the box, but I have a problem with available space on the rather modest (but spectacular performance) 64GB SSD.
1) Current Partitions:
Toshiba includes three partitions on the new 64GB system, to which I have added one primary Linux container partition, enclosing two logical partitions.
- /dev/sda1 TOSHIBA SYSTEM VOLUME: 1.6GB, Partition type "Unknown (0x27)
- /dev/sda2 Windows Vista Business: 49GB, NTFS
- /dev/sda3 HDDRECOVERY: 6.5GB, Hidden HPFS/NTFS (0x17)
- /dev/sda4 Linux Container for sda5 & sda6: 7.6GB, Extended
- /dev/sda5 Ubuntu Filesystem: 6.6GB, ext4
- /dev/sda6 Swap Space: 1.0GB, Linux swap
I'm sure I'll remove Vista eventually, but in the meantime, (along with MS Office) it requires a whopping 32GB just to admire itself, after all the updates and security upgrades have been applied. I shrunk the partition to 49GB to leave space for future updates and upgrades.
Right now, Ubuntu only occupies 2.4GB of it's allocated partition, leaving 3.6GB free (I know, that doesn't add up to 6.6GB, but that must be something to do with GiB vs. GB, ... or magic, maybe). Swap is only 1.0GB, with 2.0GB of RAM, but I don't use Hibernate.
2) Installing /Home on SD Card
Well, I tried this first, since I have a nice 8GB, Class 10 SD Card, and a built in SD Card reader. With the SD Card inserted during installation, I was able to select it and designate it as /Home, but when I tried to restart after insallation was complete, I got an error message before the Ubuntu login screen could appear.
I think what is happening is that it doesn't mount normally when booting. It's not listed as a bootable device in BIOS, but there is a Toshiba Bootable SD Card utility included with Windows, which needs a bootable floppy or something to work. There must be something that allows the BIOS to recognize it as a floppy during boot, or whatever, but any Toshiba Utility isn't going to work with a Linux file system. Puppy doesn't like it either for the Puppy sfs saved user file (although it will usually work if I copy them there manually, rather than allow them to save automatically).
3) Extending /Home to the SD Card
I thought I'd just have to copy stuff to the SD Card manually, as extra storage, when /Home got too crowded and cosy. Then I noticed that as soon as I inserted the SD Card it immediately got added to the total space avaialable shown by the Disk Usage Analyser accessory (which just happened to be open at the time). So now I see 10.8GB total, which is plenty to start out with for me. I assume this is because the SD Card had been formatted to mount as /Home when I first tried that solution, and got recognized as soon as it was inserted in the slot.
Questions:
a) Will this work? Will /Home really use the extra space, or is it just "pretending"?
b) Is there anything special I might need to do?
c) What do I do with the three folders already on the SD Card, obviously put there during the failed attempt to install /Home on the card? (The third folder is hidden: ".ecryptfs".)?
d) Is it acceptable to leave swap with just 1.0GB, since I don't need to hibernate?
e) Anything else I need to consider?
