I want to make a live CD for ubuntu, but upon getting the .ISO I found that the .ISO was 709MB, and my disc is 700MB. How could I precede in making this live CD? If I use some sort of over burning software, will the live CD work, and please recommend a software to do so if it does indeed work.
View 8 RepliesI've been trying to install ubuntu 11.04 64 bit on a partition next o windows 7 64 bit.When I use the default option (no matter how large I make the partition) I get the error message that not enough space could be created. I read this could e solved by defragmenting the hard drive which I did, but the problem persists.I next tried to partition manually but go the error message that there was "No root file system is de or something similar

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust for the fun and learning experience I am working on a minimal install with Squeeze +IceWM. The goal is to make a livecd with a set of privacy apps - like Iceweasel with Tor/privoxy and some encryption tools. Everything is working out just fine, but I thought it would be very nice to have an installer. I read about the refractainstaller and refractasnapshot in this post, and thought they sound like a good solution: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=54635#p315738 However, the links seem to be dead and so were all the mirrors I tried. Does anyone know where these files can be found or any other easy way I can make Debian installable from a livecd?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to burn the ISO for Lucid Lynx final onto a 700MB CD. The ISO file is 699MB, but Windows reports that the size on disk is 733MB and thus CD Burner XP refuses to burn the file, stating that it's too large for a CD.
Why this discrepancy on file sizes? I've noticed this with other files as well, suddenly it's a bit of a problem, as you can see!
would anyone know how to solve this problem im having.I copied some files from a normal cd then tried to burn them to another cd the same size but it says the new cd is to small by 24mb which i could`nt workout then, how they fitted on the original.Have the original files been compressed some how?If so how would i do the same to fit them on the new cd?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to install Lyx today, but because of the massive overhead I decided to install it without its 'recommended' packages. From previous experience some of these packages were just the same font in different sizes that rendered font selected in other word processing applications tiresome as I scrolled through the list.
Code:
apt-get install lyx --no-install-recommends
Only 8mb of disk space was needed! But at a cost.
Although AFAIK as a user that has only spent fives minutes at LYX ( 4 of which gawking at how easy it is to write mathematical symbols in ) the segment that does not work is the 'rendering' where I cannot export as dvi, pdf etc.
When I open a document, I get this error:
Quote:
The layout file requested by this document, article.layout is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the Customization documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output.
What packages are absolutely necessary for LyX to work at a bare minimum? My monthly Internet usage is capped, and 700mb is a massive blow to it.
By the way, the documentation it recommends me to read ( 'Customisation' ) contains information applicable to creating new layouts and/or why I do not have someone else's layout that this document requires. It is obvious however that 'article.layout' is a standard component, and is probably inside on of the many recommended packages.
The download of recommended packages is ~ 400mb, but once extracted is ~700mb. That is still a large download for my internet connection currently.
Code:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dvipng lacheck latex-beamer latex-xcolor libt1-5 lmodern luatex lyx pgf
preview-latex-style prosper ps2eps psutils texlive-base texlive-binaries
texlive-common texlive-doc-base texlive-extra-utils texlive-font-utils

Been using 11.4 for the last few days and I think I might really like it. Thought getting my Broadcom wireless to work would be the hard part but I'm having real trouble with USB transfers for some reason. Tried to copy a 700MB .avi to a USB stick yesterday, I know it's good as I use it regularly. I get the KDE notification that it has copied the file (seemed far too quick but didn't think much of it) and then went to watch it.
Didn't show up on my telly and when I stuck it back in the computer to check it had only copied an arbitrary 39MB of the file. Tried again this morning, copying three albums to my phone - I get the notification that copying files has been completed almost instantly, I let it sit for five minutes and of the three albums one track has been transferred. It's an Android phone so I can use a file browser to confirm they are there, but they're all 0 bytes in size.
I downloaded a file that was 40mb compressed and was almost 700mb when fully extracted. It was inside a .rar file that in turn was inside another .rar file. How can this be done in Ubuntu? Can this also be done with .zip and .7z files?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed ubuntu alongside windows 7 on my machine. I ardly know anything about partitions, but I managed to shrink the windows partition to make space, abd then use the ubuntu installer to create the ubuntu partition. But I hadn't realized that there were actually 3 Windows partitions - "Acer C:", "Recovery", and "System, Active, Primary Partition".
So I didn't know that I should have made the ubuntu partition "Extended", which means that I can't make new partitions anymore. Is there anything I can do without reinstalling ubuntu?
I have some confusion about one of my partition and the space it is taking. df -h output is given below;

above information is showing that /var/lib/mysql partition total size is 379 GB and it is 68% used. However when I execute command du -sh /var/lib/mysql it shows following output.

45G /var/lib/mysql
Now I want to know what files are taking space to make the partition 68% used. I want to list down all files in that partition with size.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow do I make getchar() skip a leading space? The situation I am looking is this: I print a prompt that ends in a space printf("Input: ");and then when I use getchar() to read the text that was typed after the prompt, it appears to process the trailing space as a leading space that belongs to the input.
how can the space be skipped, preferably without inserting code that explicitly checks whether I'm reading the first character or not. I have already found out that I can skip such a space using scanf scanf (" %c", &ch); where the leading space in the format string eliminates leading spaces from the input string. That is the sort of thing I have in mind.
Logical Memory Space of 4GB is divided in to 3GB User Space and 1GB Kernel Space. Always. Correct?
1. How can we change it? (just changing value of PAGE_OFFSET is okay?)
2. If system have only 256MB of memory (embedded system) and suppose Kernel Modules eat away all the memory during boot. User space will be left will no memory. Is this case possible?
I am writing a program which i dont want the kernel scheduler to preempt before certain time duration. I am using the system call sched_get_priority_max to set the maximum priority. However it is not producing results.
View 3 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine has asked me to install Ubuntu for a long time. Today I set up his partitions with Lucid LiveCD and GParted.
However, the LiveCd throws an error that makes me hesitant to continue.
If I boot a LiveCD on my computer I get a question meaning "run Live or install?"
This question does not appear on my friends computer. The first thing you see (about 2 min after boot) is an alertpanel saying something like "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. We will now set up a desktop environment so you can investigate the problem." After that the normal Lucid (Live) desktop appears and functions well, as far as I can understand.
Sorry for not being able to give more data about my friends system. It is a stationary computer about 2 yrs old, running XP. I can't really make investigations on his system either. I had hoped to go there next time and just install Lucid.
Maybe one should try the alternate installer, but my friend just got used to the LiveCD and I would therefore like to use the LiveCD.
I don't understand why it seems to start installation by itself.
Most of all. I wonder if it is a good idea to run the installation from the desktop icon? Maybe it will encounter the same error that the LiveCd seems to encounter at startup?

I'm trying to boot off a USB LiveCD of Ubuntu 9.10 in order to save some data off a botched UNR install. However when I try to boot off said USB drive, I get this error:

I've tested the USB drive using the "Check disk" option in the boot menu, and it comes up clean.
