If I copied one partition from different hard disk with working ubuntu and another partition with working windows OS into my two partitioned HD, is it posssible to make the two system working?
View 6 RepliesI have a windows computer that has a virus on it. This computer isn't worth much so I don't want to get a virus program to clear it. I know the virus probably won't be able to crash the linux OS, but will it be able to transfer itself to flash drives if I am running linux?

I trying to re-install ubuntu on my computer. I'm currently on 10.10 (upgraded from 10.04) but live cd doesn't work with my hardware! I'm on asus G60Jx laptop with nvidia gts 360m. I'm not the only one to have this problem. It's my third message on this forum about this because no one answering me after 5 bump. I ask for help in ask ubuntu. I got "install ubuntu 10.04 and upgrade it, it don't take so much time" ok, I'll do that, but for 11.04, can I expect to be able to use the liveCD installation or I will install 10.04 to upgrade it after? I know that I can't change nothing for 10.10 but a bug is bug, and I wish that my computer will be more supported, thank to all. And this time, answering to me please and show me how can I report this. I know that I can use ubuntu-bug but I didn't found the fine section.

View 14 Replies View RelatedRunning Squeeze here. I added a new SSD to my system. Root is /dev/sda3 and I want to clone that system to the new SSD on /dev/sdb1 and make it bootable. I tried:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ssd_root
cp -dpRx / /mnt/ssd_root
then
update-grub
or
grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt/ssd_root /dev/sdb
but to no avail. I cannot get the new system to be bootable and available through Grub. Part of the problem is that I do not know my way around Grub v2 so well, I could probably manage quite well with legacy grub. So, whats the easiest way to clone a system and make it bootable on another partition? Should I be using debootstrap, and importing/exporting the package list to install the same packages on the new system as the old? or is using cp -dpRx to copy the old ok? How do I make the new system boot?

Will I be in OS booting trouble (i.e unable to resurect the previous boot screens, windows might possibly be deleted, or not be present in the boot options) if this is done ?
Also, because I have only one disk (the first disk of Fedora 11 downloaded), will it be fine with just one first disk ? (there are several to download but I think I assume I am not going to use all of them during installation, right ?)

View 9 Replies View RelatedHave 2 FC 14 servers. On both of them set system default language to German (de_DE), reboot, and all is as expected -- all menus and messages in German. Then changed system default back to English, reboot, both are back in English. Then changed system default to Korean (ko_KR), reboot. One server comes up in Korean as expected, but the other comes up in English.
/etc/sysconfig/i18n is ko_KR.utf8 as expected. SSH terminal and execute 'locale' and all variables set to 'ko_KR.UTF8' as expected. Start a GNOME session (thru VNC), open a terminal and 'locale' shows 'ko_KO.UTF8'. Changed default language back to German, reboot, everything comes up in German. Change it to Korean, reboot, and we're back to English (not even German). (Note: LANG=en_US is set as kernel boot option, do that's probably why not German here.) Have trolled through DMESG and /var/log/messages but do not see any error message.Tried 'yum groupremove "Korean Support"' to clear everything out, then re-installed it. Still the same result.
I tried a while getting a live system working with encrypted persistence. The command
Code: Select alllive-persistence activate /dev/sdx2
works perfect, but boot time persistence works only for unencrypted storage. 'Cause I can not append the boot-log as file the most important part here:
Code: Select all+ tailpid=123
+ tail -f boot.log
+ cat /proc/cmdline
+ LIVE_BOOT_CMDLINE=BOOT_IMAGE=/live/vmlinuz boot=live noeject keyboard-layouts=de components persistence persistence-encryption=luks,none initrd=/live/initrd.img debug=true
+ Cmdline_old
+ PERSISTENCE=true
+ export PERSISTENCE
[Code] ....
The most confusing line is "Warning: cryptsetup is unavailable" - I took a look into the scripts, it checks if cryptsetup and askpass is executable if not this message. But:
I mounted the hdd-img file local and took a look: all binaries there.
So I tried a lot getting it working on boot time. I tried it with live-tools from testing, from wheezy and last but not least installed and pinned live-tools to unstable. Always the same. askpass isn't executable on boot time before mounting the persistence.
Config is
Code: Select alllb config noauto
--apt apt
--bootstrap debootstrap
--binary-images iso-hybrid
--distribution testing
--mirror-bootstrap http://ftp.debian.de/debian/
[Code] .....
(tried with binary-images=hdd, too)
and yes, cryptsetup is inside package-list (otherwise live-persistence from within running machine with crypted partitions would not work). Live tools I used for last run is 4.0.3-1 from unstable, before tried with 4.0.2-1 from testing.
Whats going wrong in boot system?
Before going too far it may be simplest to answer the question "Does Live USB Creator create a working system for Windows 7?" If not then don't bother reading further. I have installed Live USB Creator on a 32-bit Windows 7 computer but when I run it I can't for the life of me get it to recognize any type of drive. I've read and tried the instructions of using the command line with the --force [drive]: but that has no effect Maybe I am misunderstanding this whole program. From what I read about it, this program will create a working Windows system, place it on a USB stick and then run Windows on a different computer. In my application I would like to run it on my work computer which has Windows XP. If this application should work then will I have complete access to all my computer drives and files and the network/internet? I imagine I would need to install all necessary programs so that I could use them in Windows 7 and would I need to install those programs on the USB stick or could they be on a local hard drive?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had done a new lucid install to a 1 TB RAID 1 array using the alternate CD a few weeks back. I messed up that system trying to some hardware working that lucid doesn't have drivers for yet, so I gave up on it and reinstalled to a single 80 GB disk that I now want to move over to the RAID array.
I moved all of the existing files on the array to a single folder, then copied all of the folders from the 80 GB disk over to the array with permissions and symlinks (minus the contents of /proc and /sys, which I created empty).
These are the commands I used:
Quote:
p -a -d -R -v -t /media/raid_array /b*
cp -a -d -R -v -t /media/raid_array /d*
cp -a -d -R -v -t /media/raid_array /e*
cp -a -d -R -v -t /media/raid_array /h*
[Code]....
I tried to change fstab to use the 689a... for root, but when I try to boot, it's still trying to open /dev/disk/by-uuid/412d...
So then I booted from the single disk again and chrooted into the array, then ran update-initramfs -u. I got 3 "grep: /proc/modules: No such file or directory" errors, and "cat: /proc/cmdline: No such file or directory"- so I created directory /proc/modules, created an empty file /proc/cmdline, and ran the initramfs update again. Then I tried to shut down, which hung (probably because I was doing all of this from a terminal window in Gnome), so I killed the power after a couple of minutes.
It's still trying to use /dev/disk/by-uuid/412d... to boot.
What am I missing? I assume I just have to change the UUID to mount as root, but I don't know how.

After installing ubuntu 9.10. It's now been a month or so from a fresh reinstall.
Currently for some reason at times my computer slows down where typing starts to lag.
Is there any software that would speed up the linux os. Like for windows there is softwares that would check the registery for errors and shortcut errors etc and fix them.
I use free software like that for windows and works well. I just would like to know if I can get something like that for linux. I know linux dosen't use a regsiter but just saying software that checks the linux system for any errors that could cause the computer to slow down.
Are there any tutorials for this? My sister wants a really easy application that pops a random quotation every time she presses on an icon (probably appearing in the panel). I'm fairly experienced in programming, but i've never done desktop apps for ubuntu.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm on ubuntu 10.04, and pretty new to it - over the last 2 weeks I've done probably 10+ fresh installs due to me not knowing the system, trying things. I looked for a way to back it up and found this guide - [URL]. When I use the feature as listet, it doesn't exclude the folders, and the system is "almost" the same as pre-recovery - and I'm copy/pasting. Is there a way to make a COMPLETE replica of my system, that I can launch when failed, so that - it's back to when I was "ok".. like all programs install post-copy to be gone..

I have uploaded crunch and that works fine if I do it manually from the command line. the kernal seems to be update-able as well to BT's Kernal, I am not sure if I should do this or not in fear it might crash the Ubuntu system somehow. I guess what I might do next is install everything but the Kernal and install the executable links to the drop down menu by hand per the menu structure.
What I would ideally want is to have all the functionality of BT in Ubuntu which is pretty close to where I am at. Also, when I am done I want to make a live CD of this system so that I not have to do this ever again as it is very time consuming. What program would be used for that? Would any of my user data transfere? I don't want my user data to be transferred to the live CD just the raw system data etc. Anyone done this and would like to chat via skype? that would be best, but I'll take any help I can get at this point.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed a new Ubuntu Studio 11.04 system at home yesterday. It was relatively painless at first but now I'm trying to compile some of the programs that I built the system for and
Code:
./make
simply is not working (returns command not found error). A makefile is present in both of the directories I'm working on.
Code:
man make
works perfectly fine. apt-get install insists that make is present, it also insists that gcc and build-essential are present. Just for the heck of it I reinstalled build-essential but nothing changed. I hesitate to uninstall it or or uninstall make as I have several packages which depend on these and several more which recommend them.
I first got into Linux with Ubuntu Server 10.04 and I remember not being able to compile then but that was because I didn't have gcc or build-essential installed. Once I installed those packages everything was happy. Every google search I perform leads me either to "install build-essentiall / gcc" or to nothing at all. Thoughts on where I can go from here?
I'm developing a software that run on a regular computer, inside a bending machine. What I want is to customize Linux startup and Desktop in a way that my software starts automatically and the user does not become aware that what he sees on screen is a software running in a PC. For this i need to customize the startup, wich I've read that can be done changing the pictures in /usr/share/images/xsplash. After that, I need that my software starts automatically (that's not hard) and the tricky part: to delete or make unvisible every menu and to disable any key combination that could close or minimize my software. If I could, I would also like the PC to power down if my software crushes or closes (I could do this with another software running checking the previous).
Any ideas on where to start? I've still haven't started to program, so I've not yet decided if I would use GTK or another framework.

I do not get any error messages but the mail does not reach. /etc/log/mail.log is blank.
