Ubuntu Installation :: Installing Gparted - Libuuid Is Missing ?
Feb 25, 2011
Ive been trying to install gparted (from source) but configure fails with the error
Code:
Which is odd because it looks like libuuid is installed, i think its installed as part of e2fsprogs which is installed (according to synaptic). Does anyone know how i might resolve this? or is it safe to compile anyway?
As a side question, i was going to install with synaptic, but the version of gparted there was 0.6.2 while the version on the website was 0.8.0. i tried apt-get update and apt-get upgrade but the package manager version was always 0.6.2. is it usual for the package manager version to be out of step like this, or is there something else i could have done to update it?
i tried to install ubuntu on my company notebook, where already xp is installed and I have to work with on monday again ;(I have to partitions 60+60GB with XP and Data. I tried to resize the Boot one to 50 to gain some space for ubuntu. Gparted rezided and moved partition (10unallocated+50boot+60data). I guess thats when the bootloader was destroyed. Now I can not start XP anymore. JaiiXXX! But i have to.
Question now is:
-Would it help to resize again with gparted so that i have 60+60 again and can start working?
-Should i continue installing ubuntu from usb. It is recognizing all partitions correctly and asking to install in dualboot. howeber i guess, when bootloader for xp is not working now, will it work after installation of ubuntu on the 10gb or will it make things more complicated?
-My tummy says first to repair windows xp an then install ubuntu. I have no xp cd since it is company computer. will repair morde work with another xp cd? i would prefer that. i saw that there is another way b reinstalling the xp by bootloader, but it sounds to complicated to me and i am little nervous now.p.s. i recognized that now data partition is flagged with boot . dont know why but put it back to the right partition, nothing changed.
I have a netbook that has a dead windows partition. I've installed ubuntu and have never tried to recover the dead windows installation. However, I now need that space in the main partition. I ran the liveUSB of ubuntu and ran gparted. I have an error on that partition.
Accounting clusters... cluster accounting failed at 66892 (0x1054c): Missing cluster in $bitmap Cluster accounting failed at 489569 (0x77861): extra cluster in...
I think I may have attempted to resize this and I got this error. I cannot get into windows to fix anything, so I can't run scan disk or fix disk etc. I'm not sure if I can get a command prompt. I don't have a CD drive. Can I reinstall linux and use the entire hard drive? Will it do this, or will the cluster errors prevent this? Can I fix this so to resize the windows partition?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 AMD/64. I moved my data partition with GParted, resulting this message from GParted

So I have a single hard drive with two partitions, and I am trying to install a dual boot of Windows XP and Ubuntu. However, I am having an issue installing the Windows XP component.
I keep getting an error along the lines of a missing/corrupt hal.dll after the first restart in the install. This has happened every time I tried to install windows XP, from several different discs, all of which I have confirmed to work on another computer.
I have tried several things for fixing this, from repairing the MBR and boot.ini to replacing hal.dll from hal.dl_, and nothing works. However, Ubuntu 10.04 installs and boots properly.
essentially what the title says. Clonezilla cannot be installed in ubuntu so running a live linux on the usb and installing the applications in that is not an option.
I have 3 Ubuntu installations & a PCLINUXOS, plus Windows XP installed on one hard disk. I still can boot to each one of them and can mount each one using Ubuntu.
The problem "may" have occurred when I reduced the size of some linux partitions using gparted. I still have plenty of space in each of those partitions.
When I started gparted all of the HD was unallocated. I did that from each ubuntu installation and the PCLINUX installation, plus LIVECDs. All indicated the space was unallocated.
When I did an fdisk -l from a Puppy Linux LiveCD I got a normal start and ends of each partition.
When I tried it from Ubuntu installation or live cd, I received the following types of responses:
Code: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda5
Disk /dev/sda5: 28.5 GB, 28566397440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3473 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -u /dev/sda5
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3473.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Plus the Windows partition seems to go over its limits.
Since all of my OS installations are still working, I don't know how critical this is. From reading another post, I understand this might be able to be fixed by making some changes in fstab.
I tried to upgrade my slackware xfce 13.0 >> 13.1. I read "man slackpkg" first, and then I did exactly what I read at the man pages, my system was in init 1 mode.
The mirror I used it was the Greek mirror for 13.1. The command slackpkg upgrade-all was running ok until the "r" letter after that all packages did not upgraded because it was ERROR CHECKSUMS.md5 to all of them. Slackpkg did not upgrade all this packages but just check them and them skip them.
When everything stopped I reboot but at loading time it stops and I have this message: "libuuid.so.1:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."
After that I have 2 options to press control-d to reboot or to give root pass and login as root@(none):
After I login I cant connect to internet, I cant shutdown the system only reboot it from cl, I even cant go to init 1 or anything else. I dont know if I can fix the problem but I have to try...
I've been trying to install the latest version of Emacs from source but I'm running into a trouble. The commands "./configure" and "make" work just fine. However, when I run "sudo checkinstall" I get a message saying that makeinfo is missing:
Code: makeinfo is missing - cannot build manuals make: *** [info] Error 1 **** Installation failed. Aborting package creation. Cleaning up...OK Bye. What is Error 1
I have an asus pc, and its network hardware is not recognized by debian, the drivers are not even in the list provided during the installation process. I managed to download them from another pc, but if i try to make them and install them, i'm stucked because Make is not installed on debian (nor is sudo).So i need a connection to install the drivers that provide me a co0nnections..
I have a new 1.5tb internal drive I want to partition as NTFS (because Windoze machines need to see/use it) and in gparted, when I go to partition -> new, it says it could not add this operation to the list a partition cannot have a length of -1 sectors. I recall having this issue on my 2tb external drive and I ended up creating the NTFS parition on a Windoze machine and then bringing it to the Linux box but since this is an internal drive, that's not an option. I took all the defaults in the "Create new partition" screen.
I have always been amazed that despite the fact that the liveCD obviously has gparted on it, that it is doesn't install it. Why not?I understand it is a tool with which you can easily damage your system, but that's no reason not to give it to users, once its aready taking up space on the liveCD.
I have been trying to resolve this issue and it's bewildering me... I have been trying to do the install on Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) and after setting up the keyboard language the installer locks up. The error message mentions it was unable to launch Gparted as it crashed.
I have also tried to launch Gparted from the system admin apps and Gparted will show it is trying to read the hard drives and then crashes. I have tried updating Gparted from the repo's and on launching it also crashes too.
i am running xubuntu 9.10 and can't format any usb drive (tried few of them). The same issue i had with fluxbox mint 8 (based on ubuntu 9.10) I thought that my usb drives are dead, but after formatting it in windows xp, i could run from them any linux distro. I installed then mint xfce 6 (ithink based on 8.10) and crunchbang based on 9.04, and had no such issues. But now i am back on Xubuntu 9.10 and want to make all live usb within it. At the end of formating process i have message something like: cannot mount usb drive: The enclosing drive for the volume is locked. Of course, no drive is locked. After that i can start making installation usb disk, but after some percentage it reports some error, and of course, it does not work.
I have a machine running Ubuntu Server 9.10 installed on an 80GB RAID1 disk. The system has two arrays (one data, the other backup), each of the same size in RAID6 with ext4 fs, connected to separate 3ware 9690 controller cards. I had to increase the size of the arrays from 8TB to 12TB. No problems - added the drives, migrated the new disks into the array, rebooted the server, and everything is visible. I unmounted the drives and then attempted to grow the partition (it's a single partition), starting with the backup array, using gparted. It sees the unallocated space but when I try to grow the partition into the unallocated space it fails. Here's the gparted error details:
I have on sda1 Windows 7 installed. On sda2 I have 3 sub partitions (extended partition) with Ubuntu 10.04 and a swap space and one partition for /usr/local. Now I tried to move space from sda2 to sda1 using gparted. It's not possible. I deallocated space from sda2 which works. But I cannot merge it with sda2. Is that, because sda2 is an extended partition? Is there a work around without killing all partitions and lose my complete data?
I've installed Windows 7 + XP + Ubuntu 10.10 and Mac Os X on my PC. The problem is that XP wont boot. I've tried a lot of fixes for the last 2 days but still nothing. So I've come to conclusion that it might be probably due to its partition (dev/sda being inside of another Extended partition (dev/sda3) as you guys can see on the attachment. If so, how can I move it out of the extended partition.
I'm trying to format a 32GB USB flash drive to ext3 for Linux.

i have a problem... after using gparted... to delete my ntfs part, and increase my linux partition, moving (by copying or deletin) SWAP and one other partition, used for system..i ended up having this message displayed on restartPHP Code:Error: file not foud.grub rescue> i will post ASAP a print screen of gparted maybe you can help me in sorting this outI would like NOT to reinstall ubuntu, but to find a sollution to this problem
I have installed ubuntu many times before and never encountered this problem. The installer shows partition sizes which do not match my current sizes at all. This occurs during LiveCD too, I have taken a screenshot of the problem. GParted seems to be showing incorrect partitions while the one the right is correct.
So, my GParted (Ubuntu) won't create an NTFS partition (the option is greyed out). I'm trying to create an NTFS partition to allow for a Windows 7/Ubuntu dual-boot. Everywhere I check, they suggest either creating the NTFS partition in GParted BEFORE installing Windows OR leaving it "unallocated" with the Linux partition after it.
I have tried both now, with two results:
1) GParted can't create an NTFS partition within Ubuntu 9.10.
2) On the other hand, the Windows 7 Installer says that Windows can not create a partition or find a partition when I attempt to select the "unallocated" portion.
I have run into another situation where I need windows to run a program, The software that I am trying to use is Taxact. I have used this software for many years "BUT" I guess it just doesn't like my ubuntu 9.04. I have a 500gb hard drive installed that is empty and I thought I could just load the windows program onto that drive but I am getting a message NTSRP missing? I think thats what it said. What do I need to do to load this program onto this hard drive?
Installing from sources was always complicated to me, but biggest problem is installing when some strange dependencies are "missing". Let's do it on example - I am sure it will benefit lots of users.I have a unmodified ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on 64 bir architecture. I download latest Grisbi sources from official web page.I didn't modify any paths to system variables...and it's usually problem with glib or gtk with all other sources I try to install.
1) Could someone help me in this particular case with missing dependencies please? 2) What every User should do when trying to install from source and some libraries are missing?How to find them? How to install them ?
I'm on a work desktop and im just wondering what the chances are of data loss if i resize my paritions i have 2 NTFS 1 10GB and 1 64GB (Not sure why but thats how it is) I want to take 30GB from the 2nd partition and add onto the main 10GB. Is it only Gparted that has a chance of Data Loss or is that with all parition editors, its just that alot of NTFS windows progams indicate that there software is safe like this one for example url.
