I've downloaded the "universal USB installer" and am trying to install "Ubuntu 9.10/10.4.1 Desktop i386" to a laptop with no CD drive. I downloaded the iso but when I try to install I get a message that filesystem.squashfs is bad. I tried downloading the .tar file for it but I don't see how to create the file... I'm using a Windows XP machine and don't have a running copy of Linux.

I have a stick with 1.86GB of free space connected to my computer, and I can see it in My Computer. It is completely empty, and designated as ( F: ). The problem is that the 'Select your USB flash drive' part is only letting me choose either D: or E:
I have installed the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso to a USB Key/Drive using Universal USB Installer (v1.5.5). I restart my machine and boot to Ubuntu from USB. I then go to System > Administration > Update Manager and download all the updates and start to install them. I then come across this... Where do I go from here? Do I need to type anything in?

I have used the Universal USB installer to create an install USB device, but I also need to be able to boot to a DOS prompt so I can update the bios if I need to. I would like to have just a single USB drive rather than having to carry two of them around.
Has anybody used the Universal USB installer and is there a way to modify the resulting USB installer so that I could say add a menu program such as grub or something else that would allow me to either access the installer or go to a DOS prompt? Kind of like the way CloneZilla does or perhaps the gparted Live CD.
Mmm the title has too many times the word "install" Anyway, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 in an USB stick and now i want to erase it. But when i try to delete it, a sign says it's protected and cannot by modified.
How do I erase it? PD: Sory if this is the wrong section.
I recently downloaded the Universal USB Installer v1.1 and put Ubuntu on the flash drive.I put it into my laptop, and had it set to boot from flash drive, and it didn't do anything. Is it supposed to just auto run from the flash drive and format my hard drive and put Ubuntu on it?

- there are yet other utilies for Windows I should know about?

I am very new to linux, and I have a question regarding the filesystem check (fsck). The power recently went out and when I tried to restart linux the following error appears:
*/dev/sda1 contains file system w/errors, check forced it then goes on to say..
*An error occured during the file system check. Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot when you leave the shell. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) I wasn't sure what to do, but checked some other online forums and they suggested running fsck manually - so I typed in the root password - and used the command, "fsck -A -V ; echo == $? ==" it then gave the following message
*WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage
*Would you like to continue (y/n)
Again, I wasn't sure what to do so i just checked no. I then manually turned off the computer and was prompted at the beginning to press Alt-3. I was brought to another screen and it informed me one of the drives was degraded and suggested rebuilding the array. I tried doing this, but it still brings me back to the original error of, "/dev/sda1 contains file system w/errors, check forced," and the process continues.
Also, when I tried to rebuild the array, I didn't backup any of the data on our home directory before doing this (which was probably a big mistake). After being prompted to type the root password, I was able to give the ls command and look at all the directories...the home directory where our data was stored was empty and I am afraid I may have lost some information. Is there a possibility that data was lost when I was trying to rebuild using the old drives?
I have a 500 GB external hard drive that is screwed up and wont let me copy any files to it on Ubuntu, I plugged it into my dads iMac and it works perfect so clearly this is just an OS 10 thing.I bought a 320 GB external a few days ago to back up the 270GB of files on the 500 GB so I can format it to a Universal format that will work fine on Ubuntu, OSX, and Windows.
The problem I had was Ubuntu telling me I don't have permission to change anything even in terminal with the chown and chmod commands, nothing worked so I have everything backed up onto the 320 GB right now and I would just like to know what format I can put the 500 GB to that will work in all three operating systems.
Where is the universal PATH variable set/exported in Karmic?It is not exported from the normal place (/etc/profile). I can't find where it is set. I tried Code:find /etc/* | xargs grep "export PATH=" and it did not reveal the magic place.

Now we want to use this hard disk in more than one systems with different usernames. So we did "chmod -R 777 /media/ VolumeLabel" in all the systems.But we want the hd to pass around. So its a little bit inconvenient to do chmod all the time. So what should we do to make the access for the hd universal in all the systems that we plug it in?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently building a Linux server from the ground up that will be used to virtualize many Linux distro for development environments.The host is CentOS 5.4 using KVM as it's virtualization platform.Currently I have Fedora 11 configured as a guest with an allocation of 15GB for the OS its self (this actual guest).The reason I allocated such a small amount of space was because I was hoping to make some sort of user drive that contained the majority of the server's space. My goal was to then share this part of the drive between all of the guest.Essentially I want all of my guest OSs to access one huge drive (part of the drive the host is installed on).
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm studying for the CompTIA Linux+ LC0-101 exam and I just need some clarification on where man pages are stored. I understand that this can be different depending on the distribution you are working on but so far I've read that man pages are stored in:
/usr/share/man
/usr/local/share/man
/usr/local/man
/usr/X11R6/man
While all these might be containers for man pages on various distributions I highly doubt that I will be given the option to make four selections during the test. So is there one or two of them that are seen as the universal man page directories?
The instaler doesnt find my partitions and the XP that is installed too!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm a complete Linux beginner who wrote his first little script.I'm writing an 'installer' for it (so I can share it with friends) and I'm wandering if there is a universal method to add it to autostart in all Linux distributions.I was thinking about cron/crontab but it's not the best choice, as writing an uninstaller which removes a specific line from crontab is out of my league. I'd rather copy a *.desktop file to autostart folders and then be able to remove them.BTW do you have to put *.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart in Ubuntu, but ~/.kde/Autostart in Kubuntu even if they are shell scripts?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a following problem: Recently my drive with Ubuntu 9.4 has mysteriously stopped working, i.e. when I switch the computer on it informs me that GRUB didn't find the filesystem. Well, I suppose it happens.
First, I though it was due to the drive dying, but I popped it in an external enclosure and HDTune told me the drive was fine. Wanting to recover the files on the drive before reinstalling I first tried to mount it in said external enclosure under Windows (I have Win Ext2 driver installed which used to work just fine). This time, however, drive gets assigned a letter but upon opening it Windows popped up an error saying that the drive was not formatted and whether I would like to format it then.
Unfazed by this streak of failures I tried to mount it under Linux but, alas, to no avail. I might have tried every single -t operator under mount command but it still won't budge and let me mount.
I have three physical drives:
Drive 0: Used for paging file in windows and general temp file storage
Drive 1: Media storage
Drive 2: Windows installation
When booting off the Ubuntu 10.04 disc and running the installer, it gets up to the partition step and doesn't find my Windows installation (for the automatic partitioning and such) and lists Drive 0 as the drive it will install to. I really want it to see my Windows install and create a partition on that same drive. Can anyone help me in getting the installer to see the Windows installation?
