Ubuntu Installation :: Installing 10.10 On Eeepc Without Deleting Recovery F9?

Mar 6, 2011

can't understand the whole /dev/sda stuffs ntfs limitation etc.Now my question is, how do i install properly ubuntu w/o killing the f9 recovery mode of eeepc. Cuz incase i want to revert back to windows i can just hit F9 at start up.I want to use the 1st partition as my ubuntu OS then second partition as my extra storage. But i dont know how to set it properly.Should i first change the SDA2 from ntfs to ext3 or 4? or fat 32 file system?then click install now to sda1 ntfsto install the linux and delete the windows xp?What is the Swap part in the partition? do i need it?if i convert the sda2 to ext3 will it still be just the same as fat32?

Ubuntu Installation :: Deleting Recovery Partition Marked As Boot?

Sep 2, 2010

I have just bought a new computer and I want to partition it to be dual booting as I have done a few times in the past.

Currently (alternatively, see attached screenshot):

There are three partitions:
/dev/sda1: FAT16 DellUtility (takes very little space and is of no concern)
/dev/sda2: ntfs RECOVERY (takes up 17.58GB and is marked boot)
/dev/sda3: ntfs OS (the rest of the computer, on which windows is currently installed)

[Code].....

it is safe to delete the current boot partition. I am also not quite clear on when the recovery partition would be used and whether it is really all that necessary (18GB doing nothing seems like a lot to me). Should I make a system recovery media for windows before repartitioning? Also, I am not sure which type of ext partition to use. Finally, I am not sure how big to make the swap space. I think I recall the normal rule being twice the RAM (6GB RAM in my case), but 12GB swap space seems like a lot. Although I do sometimes run memory intensive programs (simulations for research). I normally use other computers for such simulations since they have far more RAM than my computer can possibly have even with a large swap space.

Ubuntu :: Asus Eeepc 1101HA Recovery Option Killed 9.10

Mar 12, 2010

I have an eeepc 1101HA with NBR 9.10 dual boot with XP Home

I have been using this configuration successfully for months, after quite a bit of work fixing the sound issues, wifi issues and video issues. It still has a standby issue, but its liveable and Im quite happy with its performance for such an inexpensive machine.

I tried to boot to XP today, and I must have picked the recovery partition by mistake out of the grub menu.

It loaded "windows pre-execution environment" and then asked me if i wanted to run recovery. I told it to cancel before it did anything, or so I thought.

It only had 10-15 seconds, so whatever it did couldn't have been much.

When it rebooted I got this error.

Code:

I booted to a usb stick with the 9.10 live environment, and ran fdisk

Code:

Does anyone know what I can do to recover this partition?

General :: Deleting Vista Recovery Loader Shown In Grub For Ubuntu 10.04?

Jun 18, 2010

I have 3 hard drives and have Ubuntu installed on one (sdb), had windows vista installed in the other (sda) and use the other (sdc) as a back up/extra space. I just deleted the windows vista partition and formatted the hard drive (ext4) and now just use Ubuntu, however, in the grub boot, vista and recovery is still showing up. How can I clean the grub up and delete these entries. I've searched all over the place, googled like crazy and all I can find is how to get rid of grub or reinstall the MBR of vista (etc). One more thing, how can I permanently mount the new empty hard drive in Ubuntu so that I have access to it all the time w/out having to mount it.

Ubuntu Installation :: Vista Only Booting Into Recovery Mode After Installing From A Live USB?

Sep 4, 2010

So I decided to try Ubuntu from a live USB drive 10.04 LTS on my Toshiba laptop as the windows Vista SP2 was running really slow. I liked it and clicked on the install icon. From there I set it for duel boot and off it went. The install worked great. I then downloaded the startup manager and changed the start up to be default of windows loader. Now when it boots into windows it goes to the windows recovery thing and won't start windows.

Ubuntu :: Installing Without Deleting Data

Mar 18, 2010

Is there any way to install ubuntu on a drive without deleting the current data on it:

I have a software raid array set up and it has a few folders in it like /rtorrent, /cod4, but nothing that would conflict with a new ubuntu install.

And its formatted as ext3

Is there any way I can install Ubuntu Server 9.10 onto that raid array keeping it INTACT as a raid array AND preserving the data on it?

And is it easy to boot from a software RAID array?

Ubuntu Installation :: No Wifi On EEEpc 1005HAB / Get That?

Feb 23, 2010

I have an EEEpc 1005HAB. It came with windows but loaded Ubuntu. It was the a version called Jaunty I believe. Ironically, when It was installed, everything worked on the NETbook except the NET. After a bunch of google searchs, finally corrected the problem by loading some files (don't remember what they were). Then 9.10 wanted to be installed so I let it. Now the wifi does not work again.

How can I tell what version I have?

How can I see who is out there in wifi land?

This is my first experience with Linux/ubuntu, and it is not very pleasant.

The wifi radio appears to be on as the blue light is on. I did some search's on this forum and one suggestion was to look at the hardware drivers. The list is blank. There were also sudo commands that would 'fix' an install but without wifi, everything failed. A catch 22?

Ubuntu Installation :: Asus Eeepc 1005HA Can't Boot From Usb

Nov 27, 2010

I can't get my Asus Eeepc 1005HA to boot from usb so as to re install Ubuntu. I did it right once - obviously - and now have a malfunctioning dual boot partition. My memory is of having to hit a function key repeatedly once I'd changed the BIOS and restarted the computer. Asus forums all repeatedly give me the same advice - F2 for BIOS, F10 to save settings then it should boot up, but --- nothing --- works.

So. Any additional or creative advice? The computer doesn't have a CD drive. My thumb drive is a Delkin 4gig... are there thumb drives known to work for this operation?

Ubuntu Installation :: UNR And Skype - Eeepc 901 - Always Crashing And Running Slow

Apr 8, 2010

Last year I installed UNR on my 7yr old daughter eeepc901. It came with XP Home but was always crashing and running slow. Since all she needed it for was browsing childrens sites and the odd email from myself i decided to put something better on there and in the end choose UNR.

Its been running great for, However I have now taken a new where I am now based in Germany. I have set her up with a skype acct and last night we managed a video call for a couple of minuets although I couldnt hear her very well (couldnt figure out how to get her to turn the volume on up her Mic) When I first set skype up i set it to auto login which when ever I used the laptop to test it worked fine.

However as I am now in Germany and not able to really help with the settings The first thing I thought of doing was to upgrade the version of skype her laptop is running. So I can go to skype and downlaod 2.1 beta 2 for linux would this be the correct version?

Also what I need is a set of instructions that I can give to either my 7yr old daughter or her mother (daughter is probably the better of the two with computers)
on how to install the new version. Mum is used to windows where she just double clicks an .exe file and follows the prompts.

Also where would I need them to look in order to get them to turn the mic volume up?

Ubuntu Installation :: ASUS EeePC 901 Does Not Boot After Clean Install / What To Do?

Nov 23, 2010

I tried to run Ubuntu 10.10 - Netbook and Ubuntu 10.4 live CDs on my ASUS 901.
Both run well.

But neither reboot after clean install.
After the machines BIOS splash screen there is just a blinking cursor at the left top of the screen. No ubuntu/linux/kernel messages whatsoever.

I tried installing both versions on both SSD-s (4GB & 32GB) and ensured the BIOS was correctly set to boot from the correct one.

I searched the net quite a lot but didn't find anything that could relate to an ASUS 901

Debian Installation :: Creating A Live USB (Not Booting On EeePc)

Apr 8, 2016

I'm trying to rebuild an old laptop, EeePc 1001PX and I've issues to boot on the usb on it.

I've followed [URL] .... and the only way I manage to make a usb key that will boot is by hd-media/boot.img.gz:

Code: Select all# zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb
# mount /dev/sdb /media/usb
# cp /tmp/debian-8.4.0-i386-CD-1.iso /media/usb
# sync
# umount /media/usb

I managed to install Debian using this technique to build the usb key.

However I'm having an issue on the laptop with the wifi card (Atheros AR9285) and after a night trying to make it work I'd like to check if I'd would have the same issue Ubuntu.

So I've been desperately trying to make a bootable usb key with Ubuntu on it.... It boots on my laptop but not on this EeePc...

I've tried:

Code: Select allcat /tmp/myimage.iso > /dev/sdb
Code: Select alldd if=/tmp/myimage.iso of=/dev/sdb && sync

I've installed multibootusb [URL] ... and liveUsb install [URL] .... which doesn't work on my EeePc...

Wh only this technique of using is hd-media/boot.img.gz is working on that laptop?

I'd like to try to install Ubuntu via grub using a partition [URL] .... but I need to create 2 partitions and so to boot on a external system.

I've downloaded gparted-live-0.25.0-3-i686.iso but like with Ubuntu I don't manage to create a bootable USB key for this crappy EeePc.

Debian Installation :: Dual Boot Problem Windows 7 And EeePC?

Feb 1, 2011

I have used dual boot systems using various versions of windows and Debian for many years and have encountered no problems. However, I have a problem with installing Debian on a EeePC (ASUS PC1201) which uses Winows 7. I can not even get started because I can not understand the information that I have on my hard drive partitions. Windows 7 says that I have the following :

Local Disk(C:) 78.1 GB free of 99.9GB
Local Disk(D:) 49.8 GB free of 83.8.GB
NewVolume(G:) 948 KB of 0.99 GB
Local Disk(F:) 37.9 GB free of 38..0 GB
(Originally the ASUS only had two partitions C: and D: I used Gparted to genetate F: and G:)
gparted-live-0.7.1.5 says that I have the following :-
/dev/sda1 ntfs 992.5 KB
/devf/sda2 ntfs 100.00 GB with 66.09GB unused
/dev/sda3 ntfs 132.88GB with 129.88 GB unused
unallocated 1.00 GB

Debian Squeeze (the net install version) will not install. G was the result of trying to provide some swap space. How do I prepare the hard drive so that Squeeze it will install on F: ?

I've been tempted to try the eeebuntu over my Asus eeePC 1005AH and I've been surprised how simple and smooth the installation went, every component and device has been recognized correctly, from the devise manager is possible to turn on and of the WiFi, Bluetooth, webcam, the 6-cell battery provide me the regular 6+ hours, etc. However I can't get in internet. Managing the network connections from the Control Center I have added manually the SSID and security parameters, or I beleive so becasue differently from windows there is no utility that scan the available wifi networks around.

If I press a key I've been requested for a username and password that of course is not what I need.
