Ubuntu Installation :: Port USB Install To An 80GB USB Drive Had Kicking Around?
May 28, 2011
Now that we got that out of the way, here's the problem and I hope someone can help me. Before posting, I read everything I could find here about partitioning in gparted (at least what I think applied to my situation). I'm pretty sure that this has an easy answer (or I hope it does).
I originally installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a USB stick to try and retrieve files from a failed NAS drive. That worked pretty well a very smart guy who posted instructions on how to do the hex editing necessary to realign and enter a reiserfs disk) so I decided I'd jump in and play with Ubuntu. I decided to port my USB install to an 80GB USB drive I had kicking around, but the install didn't actually take the whole disk the way I thought it would, it only took the 7.xGB from the USB drive.
I didn't notice (I know, dumb) and then I did the 11.04 upgrade to it. I'm trying to recapture the other 65GB of unused space via gparted, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to extend the original boot partition (I have no /home partition). i tried to format the unused space to ext4, but no matter what i do I can't expand that original partition (I can shrink it if that matters). Just to be clear, I booted from a live cd 10.10, and I'm running gparted on the unmounted USB drive. The boot partition should not be active.
My screen shots capability is not working correctly right now, but I'll post one if I can. I can only get a full screen shot, and this is on a 30" monitor.. I just want the active window the /dev/sdj1 partition is on the left (7.11GiB) witha boot flag, then the Ext/Swap at 377MiB each /dev/sdj2 and 5) and then another 68,85 GiB partition, currently formatted to Ext4 on the right labeled /dev/sdj3. No other partitions. I can extend the Ext/swap, but not the boot partition.

I am using software RAID in Ubuntu Server Edition 9.10 to mirror(RAID1) two 1TB harddrives. These are used for data storage and websites.I also have a 80GB harddrive for the operatigsystem. This drive has no backup or RAID at all. Should this drive crash and the system therefore to become no longer bootable, will I be able to recover the data the 1TB drives or should I backup the 80GB drive as well?

I just install a new 640GB harddisk and when i check its properties it shows 30GB in used, 556.8GB free, and total capacity of 586.8GB. The filesystem is ext3/ext4. So much amount of space is gone for no reason.

I have windows on my internal drive on a dell D 800. I removed the drive and installed 9.10 on an external drive through the USB port. It works great, until I put the internal drive back in. With the F12 button on startup, and choosing the USB device to boot from, I get a grub recover>. If I remove the internal drive it boots fine with this method. I don't want to have to remove the HD each time. Do you have any idea what to do? Is there a command I can enter at the grub recover prompt?

Configuring a complex network in Ubuntu SERVER is a breeze. Doing so in Ubuntu DESKTOP has been a mess. The obvious culprit is the GUI based network manager. What I want to accomplish: DESKTOP boots up with active networking even before anyone logs in. This would be both wired and wireless. When someone logs in (user or administrator or root), the network manager is NOT started and thus can't mess up the networking.
Multiple IP addresses, including static and calculated, both IPv4 and IPv6. Also some static routes to multiple routers (maybe adding RIP or OSPF in the future). I already made script to do this smoothly in Ubuntu SERVER. Laptop users can still configure their computer for use at home by SOME means, even if command line or a script. It's OK to have to reboot to switch between office and home network.
I'd prefer to leave network manager installed, and just have it not run. But if uninstalling it is the best way to get it out of the way, let me know. So far this is all just Ubuntu, but Kubuntu or Xubuntu might also be preferred by future staff.

For some reason, when using this kickstart file the commands in the post section chroot is not executed. I used the ksvalidator to check the syntax and its correct.
Code:

I am trying to access the cvs; I issue following commands :
After several minute later.....
ssh: connect to host cvs.tuxbox.org port 22: No route to host
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
I get above response. In past many occasion I access this cvs repository without any problem but now without any change in client (in my computer) the whole system kicking cvs command out altogether. I wonder what gone wrong suddenly? I manage to update the same repository using cvs update; never had any problem before in past.
Is any one came across such sudden change in cvs access.

I've got a dual Xeon 5570 (Nehalem) server. It clocks down properly, but never, under any circumstances that I've found, clocks up past its TSC. Even when running basically nothing but cat /dev/zero > /dev/null, nothing gets clocked higher than the TSC. Below is the turbostat output, which clearly knows what the hardware is actually capable of, but it never actually achieves it. I'm running Lenny, with backported kernel 2.6.30-bpo.2-amd64. I tried the 2.6.32 backport and there wasn't any difference. know where I should look next? BIOS settings? Do I need to change some kernel option and recompile?
# ./turbostat
Nehalem multiplier 22, TSC frequency 2933 MHz
Nehalem 4 cores active: 24 mult, max turbo frequency = 3200 MHz
Nehalem 3 cores active: 24 mult, max turbo frequency = 3200 MHz
Nehalem 2 cores active: 25 mult, max turbo frequency = 3333 MHz
Nehalem 1 core active: 25 mult, max turbo frequency = 3333 MHz

My computer has 2 HDDs attached to 1st and 2nd SATA ports of my mobo respectively, the 1st SATA drive is empty while the 2nd have my Windows Vista on it. I also have a Perc/5i RAID card with 2 RAID arrays defined.
I am going to install Ubuntu 10.04 x64 to the 1st SATA driver (I expect it will be /dev/sda), but when I try to install, I found my drives are recognized as below,
/dev/sda > 1st RAID array of my Perc/5i
/dev/sdb > 2nd RAID array of my Perc/5i
/dev/sdc > 1st SATA drive < I need to install ubuntu on this drive
/dev/sdd > 2nd SATA drive
I don't want to install 10.04 as /dev/sdc because I may add more arrays to my raid card which from my experience of 9.04, it will probably change the drive letter of my current /dev/sdc and then system will fail to boot.
Is there any way to force my 1st SATA HDD as /dev/sda during install ?

adding an Intel 80GB X25-Mainstream SSD to boot from.
1. If I change the boot order in the Bios so that the SSDis the primary boot drive can I just install to the ssd and will that leave all data on the other drives?
2. I currently have two hard drives one has / and /home on it. The ssd will be added and ubuntu installed prior to reformatting the drive with / and /home.

I recently had the HD replaced in my ipod after my old one failed. But now I can't get my computer to recognize it when I plug it in. Not sure what I'm missing or how to find the problem. I'm still in my beginning months of using Ubuntu and I would appreciate any help I could get on this. I'm starting to think I may not be able to fix this.

I have some server files on my working Suse Linux 10.1 System. However, I'd like to add an 80gb Hard Drive to this system as hdb to backup some of the files on hda. My problem is that hdb is formatted with NTFS. Do I re-format to FAT32 or keep the NTFS format? Or what's the best thing to do?

I have a setup with 3 hard drives. The first hard drive has windows 7 and is a solid state, for my fast computing needs. The second hard drive has another copy of windows 7 on one partition and Ubuntu 11.04 on another (and SWAP space).The third hard drive is just storage.Grub is installed on the first(SSD) hard drive, as well as the MBR (master boot record) for the two windows installs (select win7 in grub, then it lets me select which windows install to boot).Now I want to get rid of my solid state drive, and just run from the second hard drive with dual boot.How can I install a new MBR on the second hard drive without having to re-install both OS's?I've tried removing the first hard drive and using bootrec.exe to re-write the MBR and it will not work.I can install grub, and it boots to ubuntu but when I try windows 7 it says there is no MBR.

- I've recently been donated a second emac by a friend that needs a new hdd. I want to add as much speed as possible, but don't know much about hdd transfer speeds
1)sub 100 SSD vs 7200 16mb 3.5'' platter drive ? I can't seem to find much information here. As far as I can tell, the standard hard drive would be faster unless I'm prepared to spend a couple of hundred on a top of the range SSD - is this correct?
2) will a sata/ide converter slow the transfer rates? is it worth spending the extra 50% to get an ide drive with the same specs as a SATA drive, or just use the converter?
3) Thoughts on connecting the drive via firewire - how much slower would this be than connecting the drive via the ide port on the motherboard? I am only concidering this as I don't use the firewire ports for anything else, and getting to the hard drive is a total pain, not to mention the inherrant risk of electric shock on these machines.

I have a drive partitioned with 3 partitions and I want to install 10.10 on the 3rd partition. I have partitioned and formatted the drive, but when I try to install from the Live CD, the drive does not show up. It is attached to a SIL PCI0680 ultra ATA-133 Host controller. I can see it in the disk utility, but not when I go to install. Is there something I need to download before I start the install???

I bought a Thoshiba StorE art 3 1TB external hard drive yesterday and I had to clear off a lot of data from my vaio to the ext drive. But I am facing an acute problem in the data transfer and write speed. The drive is USB 3.0 and my usb ports are
Code:
lspci|grep -i usb
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)
I am running on fedora 13 with
Code:
uname -r
2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64
When I try to transfer a big chunk file, the speed I get is 1.7MB/s. I have tried in my other boot windows and had 56MB/s
The second doubt is, I have formatted the whole disk as a single partition of 930GB(NTFS). Do I have to partition into smaller parts for efficiency ?

I'm trying to install ubuntu on a portable 30 gig hard drive. My BIOS does support USB booting. I've tried installing it a few times now. I clean the drive out so its all unallocated space. Then I boot from the disk and choose the second hard drive in the advanced tab.
I tried everything. It says sda for my internal drive and sdb for my external. When I choose sdb it is definitely not on the internal drive...but it won't boot.
This is the latest ubuntu I'm trying to install.
When I am finished it says USB contains no boot file or something like that and skips to windows 7.

I have two external USB Drives, a 100GB one and a 120GB. I run Ubuntu 9.04 with no fixed hard drives attached using the 100GB USB Drive. I have no issues what so ever with this configuration. When installing I simply had no fixed hard drives attached. Plugged in the 100GB USB Drive. Booted from the Ubuntu 9.04 CD and pointed to the 100GB USB Drive to perform the install on. After install completed removed the Ubuntu 9.04 CD. Booted from the 100GB USB Drive and Ubuntu 9.04 was up and running.
Had been running Ubuntu 9.04 off the 100GB USB Drive for months with no fixed hard drives attached for months with no issues. Then Ubuntu 9.10 was available. So I upgraded. After upgrade completed when it booted all kinds of errors displayed and it would not function at all. So I simply reinstalled from the Ubuntu 9.04 CD as described above. Was up and running on Ubuntu 9.04 again with no issues.
Then I went ahead and bought a 120GB USB Drive to experiment with Ubuntu 9.10. Booted with the Ubuntu 9.10 CD and installed to the 120GB USB Drive with no fixed hard drives attached. During the install there are no issues. But once I try to boot from the 120GB USB Drive with Ubuntu 9.10 once again all kinds of errors are displayed and it just won�t function. Ubuntu 9.04 will run on a USB Drive with no fixed hard drives attached. (Been doing this for months) I have also done this with prior versions of Ubuntu. So what is the difference between Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10 that would cause this? In the future when there is a new release of Ubuntu will it support run on a USB Drive with no fixed hard drives attached?
Or am I stuck with running Ubuntu 9.04 if I want to continue running Ubuntu on a USB Drive with no fixed hard drives attached? BTW: My 100GB USB Drive still has Ubuntu 9.04 installed in it. My system is continuing to run like a champ with Ubuntu 9.04 with no fixed hard drives attached using the 100GB USB Drive.
