Ubuntu Installation :: Move 9.10 Disk To New Machine

Jan 27, 2010

I've been landed with a disk from a friend whose machine we've never managed to get into the BIOS of and tweak the boot order to include a CD drive.

I pulled the disk from my own system and ran a from-scratch install on this shiny blank disk with numerous of the tweaks I like and he'll need. (Getting pleased with how the time to usable is still dropping doing an install).

What I'm concerned about is sticking this disk in his machine and using it. I've gone with the sort-of generic 32-bit base even though both his machine and mine are Athlons. However, he's a musician and has some rather nice audio kit - as well as, I suspect, different video hardware.

Am I likely to hit noticeable problems? Is there some script I can arm myself with to rescan available hardware and update config, or can someone give a list of packages to completely remove then reinstall via the recovery boot?

I know the latter option may well cause some dependency problems that see stuff I've already installed lost - I can cope with that if I can get the GUI running smoothly.

Installation :: Move Disk To Different Machine

Feb 4, 2010

Can one install Linux on a dedicated hard disk on one machine, then move that disk to another machine and boot from it? I know Windows won't allow you to do that, but can it be done with Linux?

Ubuntu Installation :: Move Current 10.04 Installation With Its Changes To Another Machine

Sep 26, 2010

I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 to another machine alongside that other machine's XP. I know I could just run the install disc; but I'd like to take what changes I've made to Ubuntu along with it - for instance, TrueCrypt, Simple Backup, AdobeReader 3 (I think that's an addition), K3b, MuseScore, and some other applications I've added along the way. Also, I went thru some Terminal commands to get Brasero to copy CD's recently and would like to avoid doing that again.

Ubuntu Installation :: Move Virtualbox Machine To Real Hard Drive?

Apr 25, 2010

I would like to install Ubuntu (latest stable) on a VirtualBox machine, set it up, install several apps, and then deploy it on a real PC. I think the main issue is the new hardware (which sould be different from the 'virtual' one). What should I do at that time? Is Ubuntu able to detect and install the new hardware?

Ubuntu :: Move Firefox And Thunderbird Settings To Another Disk?

Feb 4, 2010

It appears that my HDD is failing at the moment, so I'm going to replace it by two new disks (RAID1) over the weekend.
At the same moment I'll stick in another 6GB RAM. Because I'm currently running the 32-bit system, I'll be upgrading to 64-bit (doh).

Now then, is it possible to copy all Firefox and Thunderbird settings (settings, accounts, bookmarks, cookies etc) over to the other disk?
If so, which folder(s) do I have to copy?

Ubuntu :: Move Thunderbird To New Machine?

May 28, 2010

I have set up a new machine with Lucid and installed Thunderbird 3.0.4. I want to move the mail account etc from the old machine to the new. I understand that I have to copy the 'thunderbird' folder in 'home' to the new machine. However, if I don't create a mail account profile in the new machine, this folder doesn't show up.
I don't want to end up with duplicate inbox folders when I copy over the old profile.
What's the correct way to do this? When I have done it before, I always seem to end up with multiple (empty folders)

Ubuntu Networking :: Unable To Move DSL From One Machine To Another

Jan 2, 2011

I have a netbook running ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and it is connected to the internet using DSL high speed internet Comcast---standard coaxial cable to modem to ethernet cabel to my netbook. The wired connection is Auto eth0. It works fine.

However, I have recently installed ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition on ANOTHER laptop and cannot get it to connect to the internet using this same modem and cable. When I plug in the ethernet cable it searches for wireless networks but won't recognise the wired network connection---Wired Network disconnected. Auto eth0 shows up under Network Connections and it has the MAC address and is set to connect automatically. I have tried restarting the computer and unplugging and plugging in the modem after about 15 min.

why I cannot just move my comcast ethernet cable from one machine to another?

General :: Move File From Machine A To B On Same Network?

Nov 23, 2009

I have two servers on my network (at home). Let's call them A and B.

I have a small shell script that I have written on server A that zips up a file, backs up a database. It's triggered by cron once a day.

After I run it, I would like to move this file from server A to server B.

As I said, both are on the same network (in the same room, actually), and so obviously have different network IPs.

What are my options to move these files? It would need to be something that was done in perhaps a shell script that was, like the shell script that zips the files, is triggered by a cron job.

I'm assuming there are actual applications for this sort of theng (rsync?), but can it be done with a shell script? It seems very simple and basic...

How might this be done?

Systems:

Server A - CentOS v. 5
Server B - RHEL v. 4

Ubuntu :: Panel Applet - If Right-click Doesn't Include Move - How To Move That Icon

Sep 19, 2010

For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / Gnome 2.30.2.

I have two applets on my Gnome panel -- NetworkManager Applet 0.8, and Klipper (it works better than Glipper) -- that I want to move.

HOWEVER, right-clicking the panel icons does not enable me to move these applets, as follows:

- NetworkManager Applet 0.8 does not include a Move item in its list of options.

- Klipper displays a long list of Klipper options but no Move option.

How I can move these items to new locations on the Gnome panel?

Server :: Move The Server To It's Own Machine?

Mar 29, 2010

Im running my website on a Debian machine that started to get high load so i wanted to move the mysql server to it's own machine. and here is the problem. The second machine is also Debian and is behind a router only running mysql. i have forwarded the port 3306 to the second machine and created an A record for "mysql" so mysql.mydomain.com points towards the second machine. However, when i try to connect my websites script to the second machine i get the following error "Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111" when i open the site in a a browser.

edit: i can connect to it without a problem localy trough phpmyadmin etc.

Ubuntu Installation :: Move Installation To New Hardware ?

Aug 12, 2010

However the threads I read, were all rather inconclusive, and with lots of caveats, leading me to the conclusion, that the best option might be the tedious one, of completely rebuilding my config, which would be a most unwelcome chore, so before I take that leap, I would ask here, if some relatively straightforward and failsafe method has been identified?

Some specifics: The installation functions as my lanServer, and has been modified with thirdparty-repositories and probably also directly downloaded debs, also some packages have been compiled from cvs.

Some of the services it provides are: dns, dhcp, ssh, ftp, http(ssl), blog, caldav, mldonkey, vnc, vpn (and appleshare in disorder). Probably some I forgot.

The old and the new hardware are quite similar, moving from Dell Latitude D600 to D610, so I wonder if it would be possible to simply boot the new hardware from the old installation?

Is there a way to reinvoke hardware-recognition?

Installation :: Move Ubuntu Only HDD To New PC?

Feb 26, 2010

I have searched various forums and only found advice in the most complicated of cases such as dual boots and multiple hard drives.

I have a simpler question.

Currently I have a Dell GX280 with an ATi graphics card which I am using as a media centre. I will soon be moving the hard drive this to an NVIDIA Ion Atom based system. Can I just move the hard drive? Should I uninstall the ATi graphics first?

Anything else I should do?

Ubuntu Installation :: Move From Fedora 12 To 10.04?

Aug 8, 2010

I have Fedora 12 on a laptop and I want to move to Ubuntu 10.04 without losing anything. How do I do this? I find that Ubuntu is easier to use day in and day out on my other laptop than Fedora 12 is. There seems to be more support and help on Ubuntu as well. Thanks you for the help. I know I can backup files I want to keep to an external drive and then restore them in Ubunto, but is there anything else I need to know? Will Ubuntu see the Fedora 12 install and import items like it does from Windows?

Ubuntu Installation :: Move GRUB From One MBR To Another?

Aug 28, 2010

I recently installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx for a friend; for non-technical reasons, the installation had to be to a USB drive instead of writing to the internal hard disk. After reading some online literature on the subject recently, I suspect that the GRUB may be on the internal hard disk MBR instead of the MBR for my USB drive. How can I move the GRUB to another MBR without completely reinstalling it?

Ubuntu Installation :: To Move From 1st To 3rd Partition?

Oct 25, 2010

I have Ubuntu installed on my 1st HD partition and working pretty much the way I like. I need to convert this to a dual-boot system with Windows. Windows really wants to be on the first partition on the first drive, so I think I need to move Ubuntu to the 3rd partition, behind the swap partition.I could do a complete reinstall but that would take forever. Is it reasonable to just copy the present /dev/sd0a partition to /dev/sd0c, install Windows, then run the Ubuntu CD to reinstall GRUB?

I guess I could just use dd for this but it's been so long that I've forgotten the correct method for moving a whole filesystem.

Ubuntu :: Move Installation To New Hard Drive

Mar 2, 2010

The HDD on which I currently have my Ubuntu partition(s) (as well as a Windows partition) is dying on me (non-zero bad sector count, with warning pop-ups from Ubuntu). I have already ordered a replacement hard drive*, but I was wondering if there is a simple way to transfer the contents of my current hard drive to my new hard drive in such a way that the new one will be a fully functional replacement (e.g. so that everything will boot and run properly on the new hard drive). Which is a different size (bigger) than the current drive.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Move Forward In Installer?

Oct 10, 2010

For some reason in the 10.10 installer (I'm on a liveusb right now) I can't move forward. I'm in the Who are You? section. It just says "ready when you are" at the bottom though I can't move forward. I've typed in all the fields, what's wrong?I tried going back a few times and going forward but that doesn't help.

Ubuntu Installation :: Move /home To A Separate Partition?

Jan 11, 2010

I want to move my home directory to a separate partition so I can install the new versions of Ubuntu without losing my data. And while I'm at it, what other important directories should I move to separate partitions? And how do I do it? I'm guessing that the /boot directory should also be moved to its own partition too, yes? Because it has the GRUB in it, and if I removed Ubuntu to make way for a newer version of Ubuntu, I'll just get an error because the computer can't find the GRUB that doesn't exist anymore, right? And also, if I move those important yet-to-be-listed directories to their own separate partitions, how large should those partitions be?

I don't want to miss out on the upcoming Lucid Lynx (If it will work in the first place, of course ) By the way, I have an Ubuntu-Windows XP dual-boot system. I'll attach a screenshot of my partition table from GPartEd. You can see that I have about 300 GB. The largest partition is Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Installation :: Disk Failing - Need To Move GRUB

Apr 18, 2010

My boot disk is failing! I am a little nervous, so I'd like to have extra eyes on this so that I don't fubar it.

My setup is as follows, with WinXP and Ubuntu living on completely separate drives:

The boot disk (WinXP with grub2 on MBR) is failing. I need to replace it, pronto.

Do I need to get any data from the MBR on the failing disk before removing it?

Should I make the Karmic disk bootable and install grub on it before removing the failing boot disk?

Once I have Windows (re)installed on a new disc (which will still be /dev/sda) I want to install GRUB2 to its MBR and re-instate the old (current) boot options. How should I do this?

Ubuntu Installation :: Create Resize Move LVM Partition ?

Sep 2, 2010

As mentioned here I am planning on installing with encryption. This involves using LVM in the partition scheme.

I am following this guide here which uses Mandriva to do the installation. [url]

However, I notice that GParted doesn't seem to have any support for LVM, which is going to be a pain in the rear if I subsequently try to add Ubuntu to the Mandriva boot setup.

The problem I have with DiskDrake (Mandrivas partition editor) is that it only seems to be able to put partitions at the beginning of the drive and it doesn't seem to be able to move partitions. e.g. if I want to create a new partition at the end for swap and leave some unallocated space in the middle for my future Ubuntu installation I am stuck. GParted allows me to create at the end or effectively move it by resizing the beginning and end of the partition.

DiskDrake allows me to create and edit LVM partitions.

Is there perhaps another partition editor that does both? Or maybe a development version of one that does it? Or some option I am missing?
