Ubuntu Installation :: Move Home Folder When Upgrading To Lucid?
Jun 9, 2010I am planning to move to Lucid from Karmic now that I am out of university for the summer and have time. I have heard that there is a way to copy your home folder over to the next release and all of the data and program settings will remain intact. I have tried some research on the subject but everything I have found has been extremely confusing. I want to do a fresh install (as my updater has been failing time and time again and asking for partial upgrades etc). Instead of creating a new partition for the home folder, would it be possible to move it to an external drive and copy it back over (I have tried to copy it to the external but I get some errors even in sudo)?

Feb 6, 2011The first time I attempted to install the OS I got to a blank screen with a cursor (But the install completed sucessfully)On my second Attempt i managed to get to grub-rescue.Basically I created a new partition for the OS, it was an ext4 filesystem, and the mount point was "/" it was a primary partition. Then I created a swap area. The boot went to my External HDD. And upon restarting and booting into grub-rescue.The third time I can't exactly remember what happened but my hdd didn't even appear in my boot option list.

Dec 25, 2010I am going to use "pthread_setaffinity_np" to bind a thread to a specific core. My application has two threads. I have used mutex to assign a specific id to each thread and then bind that thread to a core different from another core. but it seems that the os assigns both thread to one core.What should I do to bind each thread to a specific core?

Sep 24, 2010I decided to go ahead and upgrade my 9.10 amd64 to 10.04 ( a little late in the game I know, but I liked Karmic) Well I goofed when prompted to upgrade grub. After reading some other posts about various grub issues, I did the Boot Info Script (results posted below).

[code].....
I have a external usb with a Ubuntu OS on it that I was able to boot into and do some digging. When I upgraded I selected the NTFS partition instead of the actual /boot partition and jacked it all up. Im currently downloading the 10.04 liveCD to repair the grub on the /boot after I repair the MBR on the NTFS partition. Hopefully I can attempt to repair my Linux partitions by reinstalling the Grub that is on the 10.04 liveCD WITHOUT formatting my current partitions and still be able to keep all my current configurations.
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 To 10.10 Upgrade With Grub Woes?

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Woes After Removing Windows Etc?
Mar 15, 2010I have Karmic installed, but still using old grub from Jaunty. I decided to get rid of my Vista dual boot so I used gparted, deleted the partitions and moved and enlarged my Ubuntu ones. Grub then didn't work, presumably because I deleted the MBR. I then installed Opensuse 11.2, which I assume still uses old grub too. This gave an Opensuse option which worked, and a Karmic option which took me to the Karmic bootloader, but Karmic did not load. I then tried some instructions to repair grub using the Ubuntu installer, installing grub to my extended partition. This tells me there is no operating system found. I then tried following the instructions at [URL].
My fdisk -l looks like:
dev/sda4 * Extended partition
dev/sda5 Ubuntu /
dev/sda6 Ubuntu /home

Fedora Installation :: Upgrade From FC6 - FC12 Woes?
Nov 28, 2009I decided to upgrade finally. It didn't go smoothly and right now I'm not really sure what is going on. During the install when it was scanning my disks it threw a timeout error but continued anyway. I completed the install but one thing that seemed odd to me is that I wasn't asked about packages or anything and it never prompted me for any other CDs. I wasn't sure what was going on. I did a re-install but same results.
So I figured fine I'll just configure things myself. I went to mount my other partitions and was unable to. I'm not sure what was done but I've not been able to get to my old data. I'm not even sure where to start because things are so different. I ran fdisk -l and I see these devices:
/dev/sda
/dev/sdb
/dev/dm-0
/dev/dm-1
Under /dev/sda It shows /dev/sda1 but tells me that partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary it then shows /dev/sda2. This has a System of Linux LVM. Same with my /dev/sdb1. I am guessing this is where my 2 old partitions went. I looked up LVM which I didn't know anything about before. Previously I was about to mount my partitions directly so I'm pretty sure they were not LVM. So somehow these got converted?
I don't know what /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-1 are but I do get errors on them:
Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
Right now I'm trying to simply get to my data once again or determine if it's unrecoverable. At this point I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. I know I didn't tell the install to format anything other than the first partition. Oh and after the two Fedora installs I did take a peek at Unbuntu. I started that install and it told me that the partition I was installing on was too small. So I canceled it. It showed the other partitions but I could see no way to read them.
Fedora Installation :: Eth0 Woes After Reinstall?
Nov 2, 2010The shortcomings of Macro Sh1te software forced me to rearrange my HDs. HD0 is the boot drive and contains MS stuff. HD1 is my Fedora drive. I ran an apparently good install onto HD1. Unfortunately, I can't get FireFox to connect to the WWW. I tried to use the admin. view to get eth0 working, without success. As I would for windoze, do I need to download and manually install a driver for the RealTek network adapter chips on my AUSA M4A785-M mobo?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: FC12 To FC13 Upgrade Woes?
May 26, 2010Took an FC12 system to FC13 via 'preupgrade'There was a REALLY old version of gimp-print-cups in RPM, and the installer announced "a fatal error occurred". However, everything else seemed to download properly and I allowed the upgrader to reboot the system.
a) grub boots the kernel, then the kernel can't find root and panics. It does this because it can't root file system with root=UUID= kernel option. If I manually tweek the grub line to use root=/dev/sdx, kernel finds its root and boots up to the next problem.
b) GUI environment not launched. Init scripts die on "error loading modules.dep". Sure enough - one is not there. Ran "depmod" to generate it ,and rebooted. System reboots into GUI, where I login to find the next problem.
c) Evolution won't start. Reason turns out the evolution-data-server from FC12 is still present. Did a check on just how many other FC12 RPM's are present: 1100. Yeah - over 1000. About 850 of the FC12 RPM's also had FC13 replacements installed. Did an "rpm -e" on these. Also had to do some remove action on mkinitrd, nash, plymouth-scripts-0.8.0, and parted-1.9.0 as there are replacements for these utilities under different package names. That cleaned up the system some, to present me with the next problem.
d) yum package repository still linked into FC12. Removed fedora-release-12-2.noarch and then I could "yum install" evolution and a few other packages properly.
I've done one other FC12->FC13 upgrade today, and that went flawlessly. So, I think in general the upgrade works fine. It just looks like if preupgrade finds anything amiss, it doesn't take care of a lot of things and generally leaves you with an unbootable mess to clean up.

Ran Lucid upgrade on a mythbuntu box on Friday. On startup, though, the desktop looked quite odd - in fact, I didn't even know it was my desktop at first. It was a small white terminal 'window' in the upper left corner of a black screen. My mouse was responsive, because I had to mouse over the 'window' before I could type. I say 'window' because it had no toolbar, and I couldn't move, resize, or close it. No top or bottom panels on Gnome. it was so unrecognizable I didn't initially think it was my desktop. I assumed it was nvidia drivers, and spent a long time making sure they were installed - they do not seem to be the problem. After searching forums/internets, found several pages telling people to rename/move/delete .gnome, .gnome2, etc and gnome should revert to default. Problem persists. I can open gedit or firefox by running from command line, but when I close those windows, the image of those windows remain as part of the background.....
Ubuntu Installation :: Looking For A Grub2 Thread?
Feb 10, 2011i know i should look more through the forum, but i've been stuck on installing ubuntu on my computer for 3 days now, reinstalling, manual grub installing and so on, but no go. but i found a good thread on my still no fully functional ubuntu computer that explained very well for a complete linux noob how to install grub2 on ubuntu via the livecd. but since i was booting from the live cd meant that i couldn't bookmark it, and very little on this forum, as far as i can see, gets sticky, makes it very hard to find.
the basic problem is, i completly reinstalled ubuntu 10.10, and the bootloader (that i now know is named grub2) could not be installed. so i've found several guides, including the wiki, but it haven't really worked. now instead of explaining all of this over again, like all of you have probably done a million times, can you just post the most informative links here, so i can pick and choose,

Ubuntu Installation :: Install Tcl With Non-thread Enabled For Some Other Software
Sep 4, 2010I have an ubuntu 10.04 system. I have been trying to install tcl with non-thread enabled for some other software. If I install tcl from synatptic or use activetcl, then it gets installed with thread enabled option.
So I thought that I have to compile tcl from source. So i downloaded tcl8.5.8-src.tar.gz file of tcl and extracted it in a folder.I then entered the /unix folder and i ran ./configure --disable-threads and got this output:
I then did sudo make and got:

Jun 5, 2010Recently upgraded to 11.2, but I think it was a downgrade. VMware 6.5.2 was working great on 11.1. On 11.2 it just fails miserably both during the install and trying to build the modules. So I downloaded VMware 6.5.4 and it hangs even worse during the VMware-Player configuration (doing a make I think).So, let's try out VMware 7. It installed great. Unfortunately I didn't read the release notes - it requires a PAE processor, which I don't have So tried to uninstall VMware 7 so I could try just the VMware-Player free product. VMware was not installed with rpm so rpm can't uninstall it. Then removed all the files manually as per this VMware KB: Manually uninstalling VMware Workstation from Linux hosts VMware-Player installation issues a popup saying "component vmware-workstation 7.0.0 has unsatisfied dependency: vmware-player-app=3.0.0." Before I go back to 11.1 or to some other distro, would anyone know how to really get rid of VMware 7 so that I can try the player only?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: System Upgrade Woes - Wipe Drive?
Apr 29, 2011I have a real love/hate relationship with Ubuntu. A few weeks back my Windows XP crashed and I had to take it to a tech to have my drive wiped and the operating system reinstalled. Just when I got XP back up and working perfectly someone told me to try Ubuntu. I made the Ubuntu 10.10 boot installation disc and installed it. Although I partitioned the drive during the install I was never able to reboot to Windows and thus lost all the files and programs I had just finished installing.
Okay. long story short: I got used to running Ubuntu and started to like it. Then this morning I was prompted to upgrade to Natty 11.04. After the install I got a message about being low on utilities and to boot in the Ubuntu Classic mode, which I was not able to do.
So now my machine is virtually non-functional. It won't run any programs but sometimes if I'm lucky I can get the computer to shut off without pulling the plug from the wall. I think I just need to wipe the drive and start over. Can someone tell me how to do this using DOS without having to make another long trip to my tech? Luckily I have a Windows XP laptop to use to access this forum.

Server :: Samba Permissions And UID Mapping Woes
Mar 15, 2010So I am trying to setup a Samba server to share out our SAN environment to our windows clients. This is my first time playing with samba, so running into quite a few obsticals along the way.
Environment:
SLES 10.3
Samba 3.0x (Original RPMs in distro)
My end goal is to allow anyone in our Active Directory environment to access the shared folders from Samba and map the File permissions to 755 and Directory to 777.First I tried just using Kerberos client and winbind and added it to the AD domain. This worked, but mapped the wrong UIDs (the standard 10000 series). Also the permissions were mapped all wrong.Then I had the great idea to use the Server for NIS on windows 2008, it makes the PDC run a NIS domain that is conjoined to AD. This really didnt work at all. I loaded the AD schema with the correct UIDs and all that good stuff, but didnt seem to take.
So how would any of you approach this?Should I keep trying the NIS config, or use Kerb and winbind? Can a box be part of a NIS domain and AD at the same time?
