View 3 RepliesI just installed Ubuntu 11.04. The drive was formatted when I installed so it's 100% Ubuntu. The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards. I really need to access these cards, all my film footage is on there. I think the internal SD card reader (If such a thing exists) would have been deleted during the installation process. I am a greenthumb to Ubuntu and have never used it before so I am rather stuck...
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?
I have been trying to set up my Brother 5370dw in the network.It recognized easily with the usb, but I sure would like to set it up with my network.I have tried to have it find the networked printer to no avail, and I do not know how one can "force" it to be recognized.

System/Preferences/Network Connections (Wired tab) shows no connections.
The thing is I want to install Ubuntu alongside my Win 7 32-bit OS on its own partition. I have four partitions:
System Reserved (made automatically by Win 7),
System (where Win 7 is installed),
Ubuntu (which is a partition I made during the installation of Win 7 that is empty) and
Data (where all my documents, music and such is at).
The problem is that when I get to the point in the installation of Ubuntu where you choose where to install it, Ubuntu doesn't recognize any partitions at all! So to install Ubuntu I would have to erase everything which I would very much like to avoid - moreover I read it was better to begin with installing Win 7. If I choose to 'Try Ubuntu' and thereafter open GParted this is what it looks like:
The weird thing is that when I open 'Computer' I can see the different partitions and even open the partitions and files on them. It seems to work the way it should. When I open a drive it creates a shortcut on the desktop. So when I've entered all of them it looks like this:
This is how the partitions look like in Win 7:
The reason why the Ubuntu drive is FAT32 is because I tried formatting the drive while in 'Try Ubuntu'-mode. It didn't work with NTFS either. The harddisk is a Samsung HM251JJ ATA. Why can't the Ubuntu installation read my partitions? There's even a partition ready for it. And as I wrote I have looked at a great deal of threads but can't find out what to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed 10.04 twice on 2 separate disks and it seems to have done something really strange to them. BIOS will not recognise them anymore, it just waits but they never come online. I have to unplug the disk completely for the system to boot.The first time I thought I'd just lost a disk, but when exactly the same thing occurred the second time around, it seems like too much of a coincidence.The installer didn't recognise the disks first time around as they were part of a RAID group previously. I did a dmraid -E -r /dev/sda to fix. After that just installed as per every other time I've used.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been trying for days now to install Ubuntu on a Dell Dimension 5100 desktop. It's got a 2ghz processor, ATI graphics card and 512 ram. It has a DVD drive that it boots from. Here's the problem. I have Ubuntu 10 burned on a regular CD and I have Ubuntu 9.1 burned on a DVD. I can boot this Dell up using the CD. It goes through the regular install, gets to 23% then tells me that it can't recognize the CD/DVD device or the hard drive. I've re-seated cables, I know the hardware is all good, this is my media computer that Ive had attached to my TV now for a year. It was running fine 3 days ago before I got the great idea to convert it to Linux.
Now...once that fails I try to put in the burned DVD of version 9. Again the computer boots, I tell it to boot from the DVD...but this time the computer acts as if that drive doesn't even exist. It simply can't find the DVD drive anymore once I put a DVD into it. Is this a problem with the basic reading?? It'll read a CD but not a DVD. If I let it boot all the way to the live Ubuntu CD, the DVD drive is recognized just fine, reads DVDs, etc. Is there another solution, something I should be trying? I need this comp on Ubuntu. I've already converted all other systems in my house and this POS is the only abomination still using windows.
When i try to install ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop i get through the first 3 steps which are Language, Region, and Keyboard. when i get to Prepare partitions, there is nothing there (same problem with 9.10). I followed the steps of another thread about removing the raid settings and I am sure i did that correctly but it did not work, when i try to find my drives in terminal they can not even be found.
Both of my drives are SATA, one is 250gb, other is 500gb. They are both recognized by other operating systems. I have switched the SATA headers that they are plugged into. I really am just not sure what else to do here. Im not totally stupid at linux, ive been using it for a few years and i have taken two classes for linux in the past year. I really feel dumb for not being able to figure this out :/
I am trying to install this OS. However no matter what I do the UBUNTU instllation CD doesn't recognize the hard drive on which I would like to install the OS on.
I currently have two SATA hard drives connected to my computer. MY primary is my Windows 7 drive and my second hard drive is my spare.
When i load up UBUNTU and get to the window where I can select which hard drive/partition to install to my second spare drive isn't there.
I am trying to install Xubuntu on an old Pentium3. This computer only takes keyboard with the this type of connector: link. When I type the name using this keyboard nothing happens. The mouse (connected through USB) works fine however. Does Xubuntu (or other Ubuntu) based computers have a known issue with this type of keyboards? I am sure the keyboard works fine and infact the problem happened when using two different keyboards.

System - Xubuntu 8.04.4 but equally valid for other Ubuntu variants.I installed an updated driver for an Intel network card by doing a "make install" from its src directory (copied from install CD). That appears to have successfully created a file named "e1000.ko" and placed it in a subdirectory named "e1000" in the appropriate /lib/modules/.../drivers/net directory. Based on the contents of the Makefile the "make" also invoked "depmod -a". The "make" doesn't appear to have done anything else interesting.
However, on reboot this new module is not the one being loaded (based off of strings in the dmesg log file), instead the original as distributed with Xubuntu is.Obviously, I have to do more than the installation instructions on Intel's CD say to do.What steps do I still need to do to get this new driver recognized in place of the original?(it is no huge deal if the only answer I get is an honest "Don't bother" since the driver that came with Xubuntu appears to work "fine", however the Intel driver is a full Version number higher so I'd expect it to be somewhat "better" by some measure)
I recently upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04
I have a Dell GX260 with on board intel graphics chip 845G - believe
This seemed to work fine in 10.10 and indeed from version 9.04
After the upgrade to 11.04 I can only run in basic graphics mode -
I have been to the grub menu and taken the recovery option and attempted to reset the graphics mode - it says it cant detect the graphics card or input devices
I have also been to a root shell via grub and tried the command 'X -configure'
this seems to end abnormally but does produce a xorg.conf file - this file makes the graphics unstable with menu bars and such have overflows and lockups -
I've just installed Xubuntu 8.10, successfully, but I've noticed that the password I gave during the installation moment, while is perfectly recognized when I start a session of Xubuntu, later on if I want to perform an action that requests root privileges, the password I type isn't recognized at all.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAbsolute newbie to Linux (assume I'm a complete dummyhead. I don't understand anything about Linux.). Just bought 500GB HDD. Made 3 partitions, 1 for Linux, 1 for Windows, and 1 for data.
1st, installed Win XP on 2nd partition (NTFS)
Then installed 64-Bit Ubuntu on 1st partition (Ext4)
(Created a 2 GB partition and for the swap file.)
Not sure which partition is primary, extended, etc., never really understood all that stuff anyways. XP was working perfectly, till I installed Ubuntu. Now, it just boots straight into Ubuntu, doesn't give the option to boot into XP. Tried everything I know, but it will not give the option to go into XP.
Finally got Ubuntu installed on my machine and now I can not get windows to boot from GRUB.My windows partition is located at /dev/sda2 and here is my menu.lst file.When I reboot my computer GRUB will not load. It always gives me Error 21. The only way to get it to run is to turn the computer off and then back on.When selecting Windows 7 from the boot list the first time or two it will just send me back to the list after a brief blank screen then around the 3rd time I select it, it tells me NTLDR is missing.

When trying to install Kubuntu 10.04 32-bit (or Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit) it does not show me any hard drive to partition in the 'Disk Setup' (I've clicked all the buttons on that screen to see if I can encourage it!) and will not let me past that point in the installation process (because, obviously, no root file system has been defined). I have done something very bad to my computer. As an aid to selling my computer, I decided to (try to) install Windows 7. I booted into a live Ubuntu CD and used Gparted to reformat my hard drive. After several issues with the Windows boot CD I decided to pull up FastBuild Utility, and did something which included deleting LD and Defining LD again. Didn't make any difference with the Win 7 install. I am now trying to return my computer to a functional state in the sanctuary of Kubuntu 10.04.
Tried installing Win XP which I have installed successfully on another computer. Got an error message: "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer" - presumed that was because of something I did with FastBuild Utility (2006). I've tried as many different options in this as I think could make a difference. Booted into DR-DOS and deleted partitions and created a FAT 32 partition. Booting into the live Ubuntu 10.04 CD again and used GParted to create an NTFS Primary Partition taking up all the hard drive. As above and deleting all partitions in GParted. Checking into BIOS and changing the SATA Operation from 'RAID On' to 'RAID Autodetect / ATA' (Now changed back again to the default 'RAID On.').
Loaded Defaults in BIOS - I've been running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 on it since it came out with these settings. At all points I have tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, Kubuntu 10.04 32 bit (and Win XP) with no success. In the Kubuntu install, when I get to the Disk Setup part of the installation process it offers me no information whatsoever. My hard drive has all partitions deleted because of my last action in GParted. May need to define a partition. What as? I'm still convinced that my playing in FastBuild Utility (2006) is probably the root cause of this, and so quite likely to be a good place to go to solve this. I think I've set everything as it was, but can't be 100% on that.
My Computer:
Dell Inspiron 1721, AMD Turion x64 dual core, FUJITSU MHW2120BH 120GB HDD.
I downgraded from 11.10 to 10.10 via installation CD, because the 11.10 installation was lost beyond recovery.
The 10.10 installation works fine except one problem During the installation, I selected manual setup of Partitions and my home partition was not recognized as /home but only as ext4.
Fortunately I managed to recognize it, due to the size of the partition, so I prevented this partition from being formatted.Now, this partition is not my home partition, but just an ordinary partition, which I can access and where all my files are present.Anybody knows any magic trick, how I can make this partition my home partition?
I am trying to install the Broadcom wireless driver BCM4311 on my Acer Extensa 5420. I have consulted several help forums and tried several suggested ways of doing it. They all seem to require using b43-fwcutter, and my Ubuntu 10.10 installation always refuses to fetch it from the installation disk. The most straight-forward approach I have tried is as follows:
1. From the console, I type: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
2. The command works for a while, then responds by asking me put the disc labelled " Ubuntu 10.10_Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)" into the CD-ROM drive and press ENTER.
3. I insert the installation disc containing the installation program that I downloaded from the Ubuntu web site into the drive and press ENTER, but just get the same request again.
The file on the installation disc is named "Ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso", and the disk does not have a label. I have tried renaming the installation file with the intention of burning a new disc that would be recognized, but the name being requested is not a valid file name for Windows (so I can't do it on a Windows machine), and it also seems to be inappropriate for Ubuntu (it has spaces and may be too long). I also tried keeping the same file name and burning a disc with the requested label, but the burning software would not accept such a long label.

My computer has 2 HDDs attached to 1st and 2nd SATA ports of my mobo respectively, the 1st SATA drive is empty while the 2nd have my Windows Vista on it. I also have a Perc/5i RAID card with 2 RAID arrays defined.
I am going to install Ubuntu 10.04 x64 to the 1st SATA driver (I expect it will be /dev/sda), but when I try to install, I found my drives are recognized as below,
/dev/sda > 1st RAID array of my Perc/5i
/dev/sdb > 2nd RAID array of my Perc/5i
/dev/sdc > 1st SATA drive < I need to install ubuntu on this drive
/dev/sdd > 2nd SATA drive
I don't want to install 10.04 as /dev/sdc because I may add more arrays to my raid card which from my experience of 9.04, it will probably change the drive letter of my current /dev/sdc and then system will fail to boot.
Is there any way to force my 1st SATA HDD as /dev/sda during install ?
