Trying to install 10.10 for thr first time from a cd and am new to all this. when i say to install along side windows it gives me the option to say how much space to give ubuntu and i say to give it about 90gig to make sure i have room for music and movies and such... then when it starts to partition i get an error in the middle saying "an error occurred while writing changes to the storage device. the resize operation has been aborted" what can i do to get it to work? is 90 gig to much? not enough? i wouldnt mind doing a full install and deleting windows but i need to be able to use lightroom 3 and photoshop cs5...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and hate it. I'm having many problems with networking and a few other things. Instead of figuring out all the problems I'm having with Karmic, I decided to go back to Jaunty which actually worked for me. But I have no way of backing up all my data before reinstall. I realised I was only using ~30% of my hard drive so I decided to partition my hard drive in half and install Jaunty on the second partition. Then I could transfer all my data from the first partition to the second then erase the first and repartition again to get the Jaunty installation to fill up the entire drive. Here's where I'm having the problems:
I wrote an Ubuntu Jaunty image file to my flash drive and booted from it. So far so good. I select Install Ubuntu from that first menu that comes up. I go through the time zone and keyboard layout settings. All that works. Then I get to the screen entitled Prepare Disk Space. It tells me I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed and it asks me where I want to put Ubuntu 9.04. I select Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup and click Forward. I then get an error:
Quote:
Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. I click Ignore and a window comes up entitled Please wait... and it stays there for a while. Then I get another error that says: Quote:
An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices.The resize operation has been aborted. I click OK and it brings me to a screen where I can edit partition tables. I select the /dev/sda1 partition and click the Edit Partition button. A window comes up. When I change the New partition size field, will it keep the old Ubuntu 10.04 data in that partition and only resize it or will it format the partition as well? Also - why isn't the easier side-by-side technique working?
I had a dual boot with Ubuntu 9.10 and Vista but decided to get rid of Vista altogether and just keep Ubuntu. Some things happened and I ended up having to put Vista back on here. I want to put Ubuntu 9.10 back on my laptop in a dual boot, but it will not let me install. When I try to use the live cd and install, I get a Resize Operation Failure when trying to set up the new partition for Ubuntu while keeping the Windows partition.
The failure reads:
Resize Operation Failure
An Error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices.
Resize operation has been aborted.
When I try to use the Wubi installer, I get an error as well. I get:
Permission Denied
and then get a link to a log of the error.
I'm not sure what I need to do, but I really want to put Ubuntu back on here in dual boot because I was enjoying getting familiar with it.
Ubuntu Studio (no idea what version, no idea how to find out) Update Manager has been saying 10.04 is ready for quite some time, but I cannot install the upgrade. The first time, more than a month ago, it had problems with Java and aborted. This time it couldn't find a repository in NZ so it threw up its (virtual) hands and gave up. Should I even try to upgrade? I keep installing maintenance and security updates (except Adobe Flash Player which Adobe cannot identify). It does most of what I want it to do. Does 10.04 (or 10.10) really matter? Assuming I try for US 10.04 LTS again, how do I get it past its problems?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI dont really know what screwed up, but I build a tower pc and installed ubuntu on it and it was working fine. I thought I would try out arch linux, and so started to install it however, the power accidently got turned off half way through. After this the pc would not start - no lights, nothing. I held the start button in for a while with no power and then turned the power back on.It came on, so just to play safe, I re-installed ubuntu and it was working ok. I only get to use the pc occasionally as I dont have elecricity, I live in a truck and normally use a laptop. The other day I went to use the pc and nothing. It wont turn on, and is as dead as a do do. If I hold the start button in for 30 seconds the fan on the cpu starts to spin for about a second and then nothing, no lights or anything. Does anyone have any ideas pls? Have I screwed my motherboard up, by the installation being aborted?

I previously had a machine that dual booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. I recently attempted to wipe out the 32 bit Ubuntu and install 64 bit Ubuntu.
Here what I did:
- I booted from the LiveCD, and had no problems
- I formatted /sda3 using gparted. I checked that Ubuntu resided on /sda3 via the command "sudo fdisk -l". This worked fine.
- I then clicked the "install ubuntu" option on the desktop, and chose the largest chunk of free space.
- About 15% through the install, I was told the CD could not be read from due to a potential scratch or issue. I then tried to revert back to the Os running from the LiveCD, and things went crazy. I had trouble shutting down the machine and did a hard reset.
Now, whenever I boot I am greeted with the following message:
Windows Deployment Services: PXE boot aborted
error: no such partition
grub rescue>
At the grub rescue prompt when I ls, I see:
(hd0) (hd0,4) (hd0,2) (hd0,1)
I can still boot the LiveCD. I tried that again and tried to again format sda3 using gparted but had no luck fixing the issue. When booting from the LiveCD I am also told by gparted that "sda1 does not coincide with a cylinder boundary" or something of that nature.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a user who rather stupidly attempted to upgrade his Jaunty to 10.04 - half way thru, he got fed up and rebooted. I managed to get his machine to boot up with most apps working except OOfice. He gets an error OpenOffice.org 3.1 Fatal Error - the application cannot be started. The component manager is not avaiable. How can I solve this? I've tried to re-install / upgrade to 10.04 using an install dvd but I don't want to remove all the settings which it seems to want to do . It wants to either install 'side by side' or 'erase and use all the disk'. I would be happy to upgrade assuming it fixes the openoffice problem.
Alternatively, how can I repair the openoffice problem?

...it reads that in the Ubuntu install menu I have to select "manually edit partition table", which I have found and selected, and then I should supposedly be able to edit the size of the desired partition. However, no option for changing the partition size appears. Instead I get a menu where I am asked to determine how I want to mount the partition (as ext4, ext3, etc.) and if I want to format it. However nowhere it mentions anything related to "change size" or similar.
I am dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my laptop, and I'm trying to resize my ubuntu partition to make it larger. When I boot from the GParted Live disc , however, It only recognizes the existence of my 160 Gig windows NTFS partition which has ~15 Gigs of free space, which I want to reformat and expand ubuntu into (I freed that space by shrinking my windows partition from inside windows 7). I know my Ubuntu partitions are there (I'm in Ubuntu now, plus my HD is 200 Gigs not 160), but I can't see them.
I have a feeling this has something to do with my resizing of my windows partition from windows, but I'm not sure.

I'm dual booting Ubuntu with Windows7. Instructions I've found on how to resize partitions tell me to open gparted and shrink things from there. However, I can't seem to do this because:
-I can't expand the windows partition because i first need to shrink the linux partition
-I can't shrink the linux partition because it is mounted
-I can't unmount the linux partition because it is being used.
So how exactly do I expand my Windows partition?
I've just finished upgrading to f12 from f11 using the DVD ISO and all is well - I'm looking for a bit of guidance for a n00b on cleaning-up after an aborted preupgrade.A yum --enablerepo='*' clean all didn't clean-up as much as I'd hoped it would and neither did preupgrade-cli --clean - the latter of which reported that there was nothing to clean.I've upgraded all packages and removed orphans and just have the latest kernel installed.
Here's what I think I need to do:
# ls -l /boot | awk '{print $1 " " $8}'
-rw-r--r--. config-2.6.32.11-105.fc12.i686

When Karmic came out I made the decision to leave OSX and become fulltime linux. The one thing I took for granted is OSX's ability to resize a partition to create space for another partition. I am wondering if this is possible? The reason is I want to put all my storage data (i.e. papers, pictures, music, etc) into a partition separate from the OS. I seek to do this so that I can test out Lucid and subsequent alpha's/beta's.

During the last month, I've completely moved from Windows to Ubuntu but I have to keep Windows for a few softwares like ooVoo and Office, especially OneNote. But now 105 GB for windows and 50 GB for Ubuntu doesn't seems right, as I can't copy any more files on my Desktop in Ubuntu, because it's full. I was just wondering if it's possible to resize the NTFS partition and add like 50GB or so to the ext4 partition which is my Linux's root. The NTFS drive is on /dev/sda5 and the ext4 one is on /dev/sda7.

I am very new on Linux and also in Ubuntu. I have started to use Ubuntu 1 week ago. When I first install Ubuntu, I make the partition (Ext4) of 10 GB. I also make NTFS partition around it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is my first time using Ubuntu, so I don't really know much about it. I tried installing it from a DVD earlier, but it wouldn't work. Then I tried on my flash drive, still didn't work. I realized that the downloaded iso (Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit) was only 411 MB instead of 698 MB. I then tried to download it again, and it was the correct size.
I booted it off my flash drive, and tried to install. It asked how much of the HDD space I wanted to reserve for Ubuntu, I think. I can't quite remember, but I dragged it over to 30 GB. Now I realize that I don't actually need that much, oh well. I got an error, can't quite remember what it said, but then the same window came up again asking to resize the partition. There was only about 20 GB availiable this time (instead of the 320 before), I reserved 6 GB, and clicked continue. I checked back after like 3 hours and the window is white and frozen.
Is there any way I can restart my laptop and correct the issue without messing anything up? If it matters, I'm installing it on an Alienware M11x laptop.
I'm not quite sure, but I think the specs are:
Nvidia GeForce 335M
320 GB HDD
i5 U520M processor @ 1.07 GHz (ranked over 3.0 GHz)
Windows 7 64-bit
i have installed Ubuntu via using wubi and made the installation size 30gb. i realise that i only need 10gb how do i resize the ubuntu installtion size.
