Ubuntu Installation :: USB Micro SD Partition Editor?
Dec 23, 2010
I have checked the forums but can't find a topic that covers this. I have an 8Gb Micro SDHC in a micro reader that I installed 10.10 onto from the Alternate DVD. Unfortunately I neglected to set up the swap and home volumes and I now have a stick with all 8GB used up.
I have configured up Ubuntu to my liking and also added some applications. I would prefer not to lose this and I don't appear to be able to adjust the partition table live to now accommodate the swap and home areas.
Is there a way to do it live or can I boot from the DVD again and adjust the one partition to three such as 4 GB root, 2G Swap and 2 Gb Home?
i using wine windows windows compatibility layer(beta release) , i tried ride(micro controller and micro prosser simulator)open with wine , but it not work properly..
I was wondering what will happen if I cancel a partition half way through? I am using Ubuntu 8.10 (yes, I know it's outdated) and I am trying to install Windows XP alongside. Turns out GParted is trying to take about 16 hours to complete what I told it to do; shrink the Ubuntu partition to make room for Windows. I have a slight time constraint, and would rather not spend this 16 hours. If I cancel the partitioner right now and completely wipe the disk, will there be any permanent damage to the disk?
Hey everyone, i am trying to install 10.10 on a netbook i have, and i did it all okay, but it would not boot up, so I want to re-format the hard drive, but the hard drive is not showing up on the partition editor (only thing that is showing is the usb i'm booting up off of)
I finally got it to install windows xp, but i really only want to put ubuntu on it (no need for windows on a net book)
So I tried adding a new, 2nd hard drive to my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop for some additional storage and only managed to kill my system so that it won't boot up anymore (I just get a blinking cursor after the BIOS does its thing).I could sure use a little help getting back to a functioning system, and then adding the second drive. I tried following the instructions from this link to add the 2nd drive:

In the last attempt I did, sdb,sdc and sdd all had the correct ordering of partitions, but sda looked like above, which means I would need to assemble by boot array partition array as /dev/md0 = /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb1, dev/sdc1, dev/sdd1
Why is the partition numbering moving around as I create them?
I am trying to read my SD car trough the external car reader but it does not work.A bit of maybe relevant info:it a SD adaptor with a micro SD memory of 1 G.It came from a nokia phone.what I know its working:the micro SD card is working came out my mobile phone the reader is working I have tested with other SD card the only left is the adaptor but very unlikely.Could some one help to with the command from the terminal to find the SD car drive name, mount it, and formatted?
I have a Xenta micro wifi keyboard which worked fine with 10.04 but after upgading to 10.10 it pairs Ok it does not work. In 10.04 all I had to do was enter the pin on the wifi keyboard.In 10.10 the pin has to be entered on the wifi and local keyboards.
Last night my /home partition became 100% full unexpectedly. I try to keep at least 10G space available.I had been making some slideshow DVD's and copying some other DVD's and thought I accidently filled up the partition. I searched for and deleted several large files and freed up several gigs of drive space then went to bed. This morning once again I find my /home partition completely full? OK so now I'm suspicious, so I delete a large video file and watch as my partition fills up on its own in a few minutes! Using top I see that the "the" editor (The Hessling Editor)[URL]..is using 100% of my cpu. I kill "the" and my partition stops filling up. So I figured out what was causing the problem but I can't seem to reclaim all the hard drive space it used. I've searched my home partition and there are no unusually large files in it. I'm not sure how much partition space the program gobbled up but I suspect it is around 10 - 15G., so you would think there would be one really huge file somewhere but I can't find it.
I completely removed The Hessling Editor and checked for a bug report on the web site but found none.I'm just hoping someone can tell me what it did to my partition and how I might get back the 10 - 15G of space it gobbled up.
I have a 500G HD with several partitions. I have just added another exact 500G HD and would like to copy the partition table from the first HD to the new HD.What is a good command line partition editor to get the job done? All of my partitions are ext4. I have looked at parted but the man pages says it does not support ext3, so I guess it will not work with ext4 either.What I am ultimately going to do is to set these two HD in a RAID0 configuration without having to re-install Karmic.
We're planning on running some performance tests on various LVM and straight disk configurations before we settle on one to use for our live servers, but while I can setup LVM volumes and partitions till the cows come home using the text mode GUI that's part of the Server Edition installer, I tend to get very confused trying to do the same from the command line. So, is there any way to get to that text mode GUI from the installer after the system has been installed? I know there are various tools to do the job within Gnome etc, but we're trying to keep the system as unbloated as possible.
On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.

i have a problem with my 8gb mirco SD card. I have to make an ext3 partition on it, but the system do not even recognize it. I have tried with a 2gb card and everything is working right, so the problem isn't my netbook's card reader (it's a samsung n220).
I am using Linux 2.6.18 in an embedded appication.I need to store few data logs (fixed size , say around 1 log = 100 bytes)on a micro SD card.My question is 1. Which filesystem should be there on micro SD card , so that data integrity is preserved.2. Is there any file sytem that provides a diagnostic check , to ensure that the filesytem is healthy.
I'm using ubuntu karmic 9.10. I used to transfer songs to/from my Creative Zen Micro firmware 1.11.01) using gnomad2 2.9.4 with no problem at all. Suddenly it stopped working. Gnomad2 seems to detect the zen micro but it hangs when "retrieving metadata from jukebox". The zen micro doesn't appear in "places" menu but Inot sure whether this is an issue...when I enter lsusb in a terminal it getsBus 001 Device 004: ID 041e:411e Creative Technology, Ltd Zen Micro
I have a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player (software version 2.21.02) which worked almost in a plug and play fashion with Rhythmbox (0.12) on Jaunty (9.04 / i386). Almost : I just had to make sure that Nautilus had not mounted the Zen as an external medium. Otherwise everything worked as expected.
Now I tried to reuse it on my Karmic Koala (amd64) laptop with Rhythmbox (0.12.7). I've been through several posts but nothing seem to make it work properly : If the Zen is unmounted before starting Rhythmbox it will appear in the media column and it will even show the songs; I can drag and drop songs from the Zen to the Rhythmbox Music library (very slow); but I can't play any song directly from the Zen.Any thoughts on how to get it to :
- speed up transfers between the Zen and the Music library - play songs from the Zen
For the last several weeks i've been trying KDE and it's been working quite fine. There are however several minor issues with KDE.
First - how can i format a usb stick? In GNOME after the usb stick has been plugged in one just have to right click on it and select "Format". Here i don't see such an option. I googled it and i read somewhere that the tool for this would be KDE partition manager. I installed it but it looks like an overkill for the task. KDE partition manager is high level tool like GParted, whereas i'm looking for something that integrates into the desktop so i can just right click on the usb drive and select format. Besides KDE partition manager asks for a root password which is logical because it can format all your partitions. However i don't see the need for a root password when one is going to format a usb drive.
Second - i tried to use my micro sd card yesterday and while it mounted automatically i couldn't write anything on it or delete any of the files on it ( didn't have this problem with the usb stick though). How can i change that? I have a default Debian install with a nearly default KDE 4.6.5. In GNOME the SD card was always mounted writable by default.
Third - i am using Iceweasel, Rhythmbox and GIMP which are GTK applications. To make them look OK in KDE i installed gtk2-engines-oxygen and kde-config-gtk-style and i also installed the Oxygen KDE Firefox theme (from here [URL]). I then configured the GTK applications to use the oxygen engine and Rhythmbox and GIMP look perfectly OK (i've attached a screenshot at the bottom of my post) however Iceweasel doesn't look completely OK. The problem is that the color scheme of the window is slightly darker than the color scheme of the upper window border - i've attached screenshots of Rhythmbox and Iceweasel so you can compare. I've tried KDE 4.7 with Arch Linux and Firefox there looks OK just like Rhythmbox. It is a small detail but it bugs me...
Fourth - i have problem with the KDE theme for Firefox which i've installed. Without it Iceweasel doesn't look that good. With it, the find menu (activated with ctrl+f) doesn't work - instead of the regular search field just a very small box appears. I've posted a screenshot for that as well.
My exaile tag editor lost after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10. I had been using 9.04. My exaile used to have a tag editor which allows me to edit tags for multiple files simultaneously, and fill tags by patterns of file names. I used to highlight songs in the playlist, and then right click, there would show "Information" and when I click on it, it's the tag editor.After the upgrade, I am not sure if I am missing some plugins or whatever, the tag editor is no long here. Now, I only see "Properties" when I right click, which only allows me to edit one song at a time.
