Ubuntu Installation :: Create Exact HDD Backup For Upgrade To SSD?

Apr 8, 2011

I currently have been using 10.10 on my new netbook. I've been an Arch user for a while, but recently come back to ubuntu for my new netbook since it's a lot simpler to get working from installation, imo (oh and I'm quite impressed with how far Ubuntu's come in the last year since I used it ). Anyway, I want to upgrade to a 128GB SSD but I also want to keep the current setup I'm running on my current 320GB HDD. Is there any good HDD imaging tools for Ubuntu/Linux (that's relatively easy to use), as I've never done this before?

Also, bear in mind, my current HDD has a three partition setup. 4.1GB swap, 8.2GB ext3 (/ directory), 308GB ext3 (/home directory) respectively. And also an additional question: As the new SSD has only 128GB (compared to my current 320GB), is it possible to shrink my /home partition but keep the other partitions at their current sizes? (as my /home partition has probably over 128GB free space anyway) Oh and also, how big do Ubuntu root partitions have to be in general? I think my 8.2GB / is a bit of an overkill, is it not?

Ubuntu Installation :: Creating An Exact Image Of A Hard Disk?

Sep 8, 2010

this is in the wrong section, but I wasn't sure where to put it. Since the background to my problem is kind of long winded I've split this post into two sections: Short version of problem

I have a PC that has two internal drives: one drive (drive A) is empty, and the other (drive B) has a copy of windows vista installed. At the moment the PC boots from drive A. I'd like to transfer everything from drive A to drive B, so that this new disk will boot and behave nicely and windows will still function.

Is there any easy way to do this in ubuntu? I'm guessing I can use something like dd, but will this copy the boot sector and will I have to mess around with the partition table? Long version of the problem

Today I built a new PC for my dad with two internal drives. He was previously using vista on a laptop which died a few days ago, and I'd like to install vista on one disk of the new PC, and ubuntu on the other disk.

He has a licensed copy of Vista for his laptop, but it came as a "system restore" disk, and so I can't install vista directly onto the new PC. I have an identical laptop to his, so I took out the drive from his laptop, put it in my laptop, and did a "system restore" from the disk that came with the laptop. I then took out the drive from my laptop, and put this inside the new PC. It boots up fine, and I installed all the necessary drivers and etc to make windows work.

Now instead of using a slow/small laptop drive inside the new PC, I'd like to be able to clone the data on laptop disk and this onto one of the bigger/faster internal drives of the new PC. How can I do this from ubuntu, so that the new drive will boot windows?

I'm fairly certain it can be done using dd, but how do I make sure the information in the boot sector (or partition table) is correct for the new drive? I'm asking this because when I put my laptop drive into the new PC initially, I had connected it as an external drive, and when I tried booting from this there was an error, something like "Invalid partition table" (I think). I figured that when I did a "system restore" on my laptop, the drive was the only drive available, so this would be HDA, or SDA in the boot record of that disk. But when I added it to a system where other drives were available, it was no longer at that same location, so the boot loader couldn't find the data it was looking for to load the system.

Ubuntu Installation :: Exact Filesystem Image For Use On Multiple Terminals?

Mar 8, 2011

I've been out of the Linux loop for a little while, but a customer of mine wants a "No Virus) desktop environment, I have gone through the process of installing and configuring Ubuntu 10.10 to work with their client side software, but for the life of me, I can't remember if or how I can create an exact image of this file-system to install on all of the desktops.I would need to have all of the installed programs, Security Certificates, Display settings... basically, I need exactly what I have right now installed from the disc so that "IF" the customer needs to install the environment on new systems, I can just pop the disc in and run.

Debian Configuration :: Making A LiveCD To Resemble An Exact HDD Installation?

Nov 13, 2010

I've been trying to make a live CD off an installation with minimalist deviation possible. Purpose is to check the hardware compatibility using the live CD, after which I'll copy the installation to the hard drive (which will probably be a squashed image) and do the necessary edits to make the system bootable. Since the rootfs will be copied over (not dd, but direct cp --preserve=all), the difference from the actual install should be minimal.

If there are any caveats using this procedure, do notify.

I've been succeeded in doing this using Gentoo but it appears the Gentoo kernel uses Gentoo specific kernel parameters which makes things very simple, but I gotta do this with the generic Debian kernel.

If it can be done easily using a script I would also like to know exactly how it's done so I can reproduce it by hand even to make an ro rootfs and possibly reproducing the same with other distros.

Ubuntu Installation :: What Installation Size Should Select During Ubuntu Installation

Jun 26, 2011

What installation size should i select during ubuntu installation? I am given options ranging from 3GB to 15GB (default).I want to install ubuntu within my windows 7 in the C drive. I will use the D drive for all storage purposes. So i want only the necessary system files of ubuntu be installed. I dont want it to allot space for documents/libraries. I want to select an installation size which will not compromise the speed of ubuntu.I tried to find answer for this by doing an extensive search, but couldn't.I feel that the ubuntu installation guide in its website (although quite good) needs some improvement to explain all steps during installation for new users like me.

Ubuntu Installation :: No Partition To Select?

May 28, 2010

So I've installed Ubuntu before on this machine, but this time around with Lucid, it's just not working.

It all works fine until step four, where you choose your partition. There are no choices. Simple as that. Continuing just tells me to fix that there are no partitions, but I cant. There are questions similar to mine on here, but none are answered.

I really need this installed and cant use the live version where I'm posting from now.

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Can't Select OS After 10.04?

Jun 21, 2010

Searched around but have not found this problem listed. I have upgraded my 9.04 installation by doing a new install of 10.04 and keeping my /home partition. I have a dual boot system with Win XP and an older version of ubuntu on another partition.The problem is that when I get the grub menu I cannot select anything other than the top option. Arrowing down it just keeps popping back up to the top option. I can hold the arrow key and it will go down through all the selections but just pops back up to the top if I let go.

If I press "e" to try and edit in order to manually select a drive to boot to the editor comes up and I can select up and down the lines but if I try to move the cursor to the right it just snaps back to the beginning of the line.So I can't select windows XP or my old Ubuntu install, I can only boot to the new 10.04.$ grub-install -vgrub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu6)

Ubuntu Installation :: Tap To Select On T42p Thinkpad?

Aug 26, 2010

Under 8.04 I did this to get the tap to select working on my thinkpad with a trackpoint in the keyboard. Is this still the same under 10.04? I'm not the greatest with the terminal so I want to check before I start a change.

Code: sudo apt-get install sysfsutils -Once that is installed, do; Code: gksudo gedit /etc/sysfs.conf -and add this line to the bottom, then save it.devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select=1 (several days later) OK, I went ahead and tried it and this is the way to get the trackpoint working - I originally had one too many spaces in the code but now I beleive the code as shown is correct for you people with a thinkpad (and maybe others) who want to use the trackpoint with tap.

AGAIN! Now it stopped working after a reboot. Does this command not make it permanent??
