Ubuntu Installation :: On Windows 30GB Hardrive Limit?
Feb 14, 2011
Is it possible to increase the size of the Hard drive to 200GB when installing Ubuntu on top of Windows. The Reason I ask it that I have a Laptop with a 500GB Hard drive, which has windows installed on it Obviously I cannot create a new Partition on this drive to do a separate install. 30GB is just to small for what I want to do on Ubuntu, I know I can access the hard drive using /host/* but that is hassle that I do not want.

I was struggling how to phrase the question (in the subject) so let me clarify... I wish to install Windows 2000 and then do Ubuntu, on the same PC. I never had a dual boot before but I understand that it goes automatically (after a short time) to default Windows if Ubuntu is not chosen (on the boot up screen), correct? If so, if there's a "countdown" of sorts, is there a way to disable it? I wish to have control over that aspect, have unlimited time during that boot "choose one" screen.

i installed ubuntu using wubi and so far i have been impressed. I quickly filled up the small size i allocated for the ubuntu installation in wubi and now find myself in quite a predicament. I was thinking of performing a clean install of ubuntu and removing the existing windows installation. Rather than dual booting, i was using virtual box to run a windows xp machine so that i could use common windows applications. However, i was having some problems running some applications in the virtual box.
it was possible to install ubuntu and windows on the same hardrive with the ability to boot into either/or, but also be able to run the same windows installation inside a virtualization program in ubuntu? The majority of the windows programs worked fine in the virtual box, but some of the applications didnt. Is there any software out there that can do this?

I know that most Windows OS's have a 2 Terabyte Hard drive limit..It's been making the rounds on forums and in print.Now the Chcken-Little sites state it as a universal limit:"limit to hard drive space reached... new software needed!"But the good reviews always mention Windows by name."32-bit Microsoft OS cannot handle drives larger than 2 Terabytes,you will need to upgrade to 64bit Microsoft OS"Does this 2 Terabyte Hard drive limit hold for Linux?

Is there such an application that can handle opening a 30GB binary file containing hex data? GHex won't open it.

I have a VPS server with 512 MB memory. The php.ini is set so script memory limit = 16 MB. However, I have noticed in my top report, instances like the following:
Quote:
5484 coldclim 25 0 46476 32m 5920 R 0.0 6.4 0:00.93 php
The bold number of 6.4 is the % of sever memory this process is using. 6.4 % of 512 MB of memory is about 32 MB of memory, so it appears that this isn't being limited by php.ini. Am I correct? This leads to the next question: Is there some way to limit the amount of memory a single suphp process can use? (Basically, something like the setting in php.ini which limits suphp processes in the same way.)

I have recently reinstalled Ubuntu. As the last operating system developed a problem (Xubuntu) and I lost all my files I decided this time to partition the drive so that anything important could be backed up to the other partition.The problem I have now is I cannot work out how to see the other 40Gb of the drive in order to copy the files over. Ubuntu shows 120ish gig for its portion which is as I set it up.

I'm trying to mount a USB hardrive from the terminal.
Using the following I can mount the hdd:
Code:
sudo mount -o rw,users /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbhd However if I try and change to /mnt/usbhd :
Code:
-bash: cd: /mnt/usbhd: Permission denied
(if I change to root I can view the contents)
If I add umask=000 I can view the contents, but I can't do anything to them:
Code:
sudo mount -o rw,users,umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbhd
Code:
mkdir: cannot create directory `misc': Read-only file system
I have tried changed the privileges of /mnt/usbhd, and I have tried adding an entry into /etc/fstab (and restarted), and I have tried using "user" rather than "users" but I get exactly the same results.
I don't have autofs or usbmount installed, which I read somewhere causes issues.
Code:
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/usbhd type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
I've run these commands on another machine and it works perfectly, so it isn't the drive...?!

Prior to the update my internal hd worked flawless. Now its a read-only disk and i can't change it by gui.
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

During my Ubuntu install I screwed up Leopard 10.5 and don't have original install disk. I have downloaded 10.5 via a torrent via Ubuntu on my external hardrive and it is too large, my G5 doesn't support dual layer to burn install DVD. I thought I found a Ubuntu link that would help me install this OSX.dmg from my external firewire drive but i can't find it again.Anyone recognize this that could provide a link?

I am having issues with sharing an external hard drive with other users on a computer. For example if I reboot and login with user A and then logout and login with user B, I am not able to mount the external hard drive. If I reboot and login with user B first, I can then access the external hard drive with user B but not user A. Is there a way that both users can use the drive without having to reboot every time?
I am assuming this is some sort of security issue. If I login with the second user and go to /mnt/external harddrive I get a permission error."You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "External Drive"." If I login with the first user and try to set the permission it doesn't give me the ability?

I've run a script which I need to parse a lot of data through to a webapp.
I got this error with my ruby script, running through jruby, firing into an apache webapp:
Java/util/Array.java:#### java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded (NativeException)
(Where #### was the line number)
I've looked at:
[URL]
I think it suggests I do:
Code:
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode
-XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps
-XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:CMSIncrementalDutyCycleMin=0
-XX:CMSIncrementalDutyCycle=10
My java version:
Code:
java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8) (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
Q1: How do I implement that into the java/util/Arrays.java file?
Q2: Is there a way of temporary making the Java VM/JDK have better handled GC overhead?

I got a hold of openSUSE11.2 recently, burned it, and booted the disc up.Now i got a problem.I ain't too experienced in partitioning, so i choose everything as selected in the installation(i downloaded the full DVD, not a live CD)and i got to the partitioning part.I have this:
500GB WD Caviar Blue SATA2
80GB ATA
I installed Ubuntu on the 500gb with wubi and partitioned 30GB for it.Well that one is easier, i have absolutely no experience in installing from a CD/DVD.I saw instlux, but it wouldn't run from Win7 Any guide on how to manually partition 30GB for openSUSE too?

I am attempting to be careful in case my system crashes, and although highly unlikely my first question is if there is a way to first compress my Linux Partitions. After running the diskutil command in OSX's Terminal, I basically end up with this poartition scheme:
Quote:
Macintosh HD = 130GB
disk0s3 = 1MB
disk0s4 = 30GB
Linux Swap = 1.3 GB
I am sure there is a way in the Terminal to first compress disk0s3, disk0s4, and Linux Swap, and then output the compressed partitions into my external Harddrive. I have already read some of the suggestions that only /HOME, /etc/fstab/, list of installed packages, /opt, and /var/cache/apt/archives/-where all installed packages are stored, is what I should backup. But, please correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't it take quite a while to install all those packages again in case of a system failure. Or would it just be easier to untar all of them in their directories once Linux has been reinstalled. The closest command I have found so far in being able to achieve this is:
Quote:
sudo tar cvf - files | (cd target_directory ; tar xpf -) The above code is very suitable for what I am looking for because it enables you to copy files into another location by using the tar command where you would create In my case the new location would be my external harddrive. My external harddrive already has its own Linux partition which I am able to mount in Linux and that Linux sees as free space.
