Mar 6, 2011

Before I add FreeBSD to my laptop. Right now it's happily dual booting with 10.04 and 7

I used to use this great guide. [url]

Of course because of (the hated) GRUB2 it is now useless.

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub2 Menu Not Showing New Entry For FreeBSD

Jan 11, 2011

I've just installed FreeBSD 8.1 on /dev/sda4 (FreeBSD slice), without installing the boot loader from FreeBSD (I've selected None when prompted for boot loader in sysinstall). Now I want to use my existing Grub2 from already installed Ubuntu 10.10 to boot FreeBSD also.

After some reading, I've added to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom:

After running sudo update-grub, grup.cfg file shows my new entry. The problem is that after restart, I don't see the new entry in the grub menu.

Another question, If i used chainloader +1, that means I need to have the FreeBSD bootloader installed also on /dev/sda4 right? For chainloading booloaders?

I didn't get to that step, I first want to see the entry in the menu.

Any idea what I might be missing/misdoing? (I also checked for blank spaces in the menuentry like the wiki for grub2 says)

Ubuntu :: Does Apt-get Have Something Similar To Portmaster In FreeBSD?

Feb 26, 2010

Just a quick question as I re-familiarize myself with apt-get again. So far, have had no luck finding what I am trying to do (back to the man page) Basically, after doing a 'apt-get update' command, was it possible to see what packages have newer versions and can be upgraded?

For example, I am working with a system that has BASE 1.4.3 installed, and I know there is a newer version out (1.4.4), but want to make sure that is in the repository. Does apt-get have something similar to portmaster in FreeBSD? Where it tells you what version you have installed, and what version is available to download?

Ubuntu :: Install FreeBSD From .iso Using Grub2?

Sep 5, 2010

I want to install FreeBSD (PC-BSD) alongside Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. I do not have a CD or a DVD or a USB key to burn the .iso, so I was thinking instead of using Grub2 to launch it.

I created an empty partition where FreeBSD will be installed (see screnshot below).

Now, where should I locate the .iso file? On my root partition? On my home partition? On the new partition (ZFS formatted)? Does it matter?

How should I set up my Grub2? I was thinking of adding this to /etc/grub.d/40_custom (if the partition where the .iso is located is /Home):

Quote:

menuentry "FreeBSD" {
insmod loopback
insmod iso9660
set isofile="~/iso/PCBSD8.0-x86-DVD.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
}

Is it correct... and enough info?

Ubuntu Servers :: Switching From FreeBSD To Samba?

Jul 26, 2011

Sometime in the next few weeks the office I just started working in wants me to switch their file server over to Ubuntu, from FreeBSD. I am a little scared of doing this, seeing as how I came into this job with no documentation of the network/hardware that I will be primarily working with. Does anyone have any useful tips/links that would be relevant to my task? So far, I have copied over the following files from the FreeBSD server:

/usr/local/etc/smb.conf
/usr/local/etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf
/usr/local/etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf
/usr/local/etc/ldap.conf
/usr/local/etc/ldap.secret

I've made an Ubuntu samba server before, so I was kind of off-put by those file locations on the FreeBSD server.

Debian :: How Do You Multiboot With FreeBSD

Apr 9, 2011

before debian started using grub2 it was very easy to specify a loader from another partition but since grub2 came out it's a lot more complicated, you can no longer edit a text document menu.list, is there an easy way to edit the grub2 boot-loader to boot FreeBSD operating system since it doesn't recognize it from update-grub

Ubuntu :: FreeBSD Install Mangled The Boot Process?

May 29, 2010

Earlier today, I tried to install FreeBSD. If anyone here has done this, I think I went wrong at the part where it asked if I wanted to edit the Master Boot Record. In any case, now when I turn the computer on, it boots into FreeBSD instead of into GRUB. Now I have no access to Ubuntu or Windows, and I have no internet on FreeBSD. How can I fix the MBR so that it boots into GRUB instead of FreeBSD? I want my Ubuntu back...

I don't want to have to download the kernel source and uncomment out CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE=yes and build a custom kernel ever time I update the kernel. Is there a better way? Like when Ubuntu.deb repositories claim a stable kernel is there an auto config script when installing from synaptic -or- aptitude? Like any way to add this one config opt to .deb kernel W/O building custom one from source?

General :: Get It To Kill FreeBSD Install?

Aug 22, 2010

This is a humbling experience for a long time MS admin/tech.I am wanting to build a file server fr my home network. So, I downloaded and installed FreeBSD 8.1 last night.Wanting a more familiar interface, I downloaded and tried to install KDE. It loads and asks for language. Then I select "Install kubuntu".

The kubuntu logo and a progress meter pop up for a while. Eventually the screen goes black and nothing else happens. I have to reboot. If I take the CD out it boots to FreeBSD.Am I missing something? Kubuntu never asks anything regarding partitioning. Is FreeBSD an os like DOS and kubuntu a GUI like Win 3.1 or is kubuntu more like XP with a GUI built in to the os? If it is the latter, how do I get it to kill the FreeBSD install?"Try kubuntu without installing" does the same thing.

Debian :: FreeBSD Destroys Partition Table?

Mar 17, 2010

I had 40 gb of unused space at the beginning of my drive, then a 15gb primary ext3 partition for /, then a 100GB ext4 primary partition for /home, then a 4 gb extended partition that contains two 2 gb swap partitions.

I installed FreeBSD on the empty space at the beginning of the drive. The slice I created did not start on the first block. There were a few MB of free space before and after it.

After the installation finished (with no errors), grub would hang on the "Grub loading/Welcome to Grub screen". I booted a squeeze CD in rescue mode and reinstalled grub to /dev/sda. After rebooting, Grub still hangs at the same place.

I booted a live CD and checked the output of fdisk. For each of my partitions, it says "Partition does not end on cylinder boundary". I am hoping that whatever happened to my disk is not recoverable. Fortunately, I backed up some essential files beforehand, but I still don't really want to lose my old squeeze system.

Right now I am fscking all partitions.

Software :: Intense Disk Activity At Login FreeBSD 8.1

Nov 12, 2010

For about 15 minutes or so after login on my FreeBSD 8.1 (yes, I know its not Linux) the hard drive goes absolutely crazy with activity. So much so that it takes a while for the ls command to read the contents of the directory. But after the 15 minutes or so the disk activity calms down and returns to normal.

Im thinking it is some sort of fsck command, but I am unsure where or how to disable it. The hard drive is connected via sata to the mobo. Im not quite sure what other info I can post to find out what is going on. Just tell me what other info is needed and Ill post it up.

General :: OpenBSD - FreeBSD- Mac - Back Up All These Systems To An External Hard-drive Using Rsync

May 20, 2011

I have an OpenBSD and a FreeBSD system and a mac. I also have a Linux server. What i would like to do is back up all these systems to an external hard-drive using rsync when the external usb disk is connected to my linux box.If i format the external usb disk with cfdisk and the create a non-bootable ext3 file system on this external disk and create and put all the necessary public keys on the Linux box then from the BSD's or the mac issue the command:

Code:

Will this back up the entire systems so that they can be restored in the event of an emergency? I should store each OS just in a separate disk file of the external usb drive each time right? Because i would rather not have to format the external usb drive for each different OS. Would this work? and would the restoration command for these BSD's be:

Code:

I just need to know the basics. I'm sure given that i'll be able to automate the process. I don't want to clone the disks for forensics. I just want to have a way of restoring to a clean OS. This is the most basic question:All the howto's never mention whether or not you have to have an rsync server running on the machine your backing up to. So do you just push or pull from one end of the connection only or do you have to have a client at one end and a server at the other, as is traditional?

Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot Installation On A Laptop?

Dec 11, 2010

I'm a complete an utter newbie on this forum, and indeed to linux/ubuntu in general so pardon me in advance if some of my question makes no sense/sounds silly/makes you want to exterminate all noobs. Basically, I've had bad experiences (i.e. had to use my recovery system) trying to install a dual boot system with OpenSuse and want to get some sound advice before I proceed with installing Ubuntu, instead of having to go through the agony of formatting and recovering Vista HP again, and consequently trying to teach it all over again how to suck less.

Okay, so less waffle and more questioning. Background information is that the laptop is a Compaq F560. It has at present Win Vista 32 HP on the primary partition (C), with a recovery partition on (D). It has a very basic, almost un-alterable BIOS, 1.5Gb of RAM, 120Gb HD, standard CD rom, integral nVidia 6100m graphics card, a broadcom wireless network adaptor and various other bits n' bobs.

When installing OpenSuse last time I found 2 huge flaws with my method. First one is, that I didn't have wired networking available to me at the time, and foolishly forgot to get hold of the wireless adaptor drivers before installing Suse. No biggy you say, just go back to windows and download from there. Great, except I'd bozzed up the MBR too, so couldn't do that. Suse, for it's part, ran fine. Very smooth. I just couldn't do anything with it.

What I'm now looking to do, is give Ubuntu a shot, as part of a dual boot system, with Vista on the other half. I want to make vista the default boot system. I DONT want to have to go through my compaq's recovery system again, if possible. To meet these objectives, Ultimately, I'd like to transfer all of my operations across to Ubuntu, but I'm too windows-dependent at the moment, though some sort of windows-emulator wouldn't be a bad idea if anyone knows where/how/what.

Ubuntu Installation :: Laptop Randomly Shut Down During Installation

Ubuntu was working perfectly fine, then I used the Update Manager to update ubuntu, but my laptop randomly shut down during the installation (which my laptop has never done before and hasnt done since). When I turned the laptop back on, and booted Ubuntu, a white box appears in the middle of the screen but rather than asking for my login details, it just says what I named my computer. I am unable to move my mouse or type anything on my keyboard at this stage..
