Jan 3, 20101. Installed Ubuntu minimal
2. Download and installed ATI/AMD drivers (via envy)
3. Primary display DELL 2007FPb (SVGA cable) cloned with secondary display PANASONIC TH-42PV80PA (DVI/HDMI cable)
4. PANASONIC TH-42PV80PA have black borders, the image is underscanned (left, right, top, bottom)
5. In Full install of ubuntu 9.10 (not MINIMAL) in Gnome when run amdcccle the solution was very simple. Just drag the slider to the maximum and image was overscanned to the full surface of the screen.
How to do point 5. from shell in UBUNTU MINIMAL (the light version without gnome)? Tried already from shell:
Code:
sudo amdcccle
but the Catalyst control Panel doesn't start. Say something bad about x server.
aticonfig?
xrandr?

Security :: RHEL 6 - Minimal Install Image To Be Used As Generic Node
May 3, 2011I'm playing around with the RHEL 6 install so as to create a minimal install image to be used as a generic node for a cloud. I posted this in the security section as reducing the number of services etc seems like a security activity, i.e. reducing the running processes to minimize the attack surface.
Anyways, looking through linux from scratch etc, and the NSA hardening list I'm a bit overwhelmed. Anyone have hints on any good documentation saying what is really needed for a basic system with network/ip/arp/eb rules? The RHEL 6 minimal basic puts in a c/c++ compiler along with other things. that seems unnecessary to me for a basic minimal install.
Ubuntu Servers :: Create A New Server Package And Leave Minimal Minimal?
Feb 17, 2010After a long time I tried ubuntu(9.10) again on my fileserver, I have some remarks; why does a minimal server installation include X/openoffice? I don't need document conversion on a fileserver and I bet a lot of people don't. Wouldn't it be better to create a new server package and leave minimal minimal? low memory installs (64mb) don't work unless you configure swap by hand in between things, 64mb ram is a lot in my eyes. I mean, not to be rude but if I wanted all this I could've better installed Solaris.
That said it's stable and running fine. Since it's my home fileserver I tried to convert my previously created raid10 mirror on an adaptec 1200 card to a softraid 5 solution. This is wat I did:

Ubuntu :: Custom Minimal Install And Boot From USB
Mar 16, 2011I am new to ubuntu even if I work in IT since 1999 so I am pretty confident I can follow instructions as needed. I need to build a custom install of Ubuntu with minimal software installed (I actually only need VMware View Client and a few more + graphic environment) and I would like to put it all on a USB key and use it to boot any PC so I can fire up my application. Is there a way to do this? Any instructions? I found something about doing an install on USB but nothing about a minimal install (only full).

Debian Multimedia :: Xrdp Minimal X And Start App At Boot
Mar 9, 2016I'm running debian 8.3 (kernel 4.1) on a BeagleBone black and writing a program with C# (vs2015) along with mono on the beagle. So far everything is working out great. What I'm trying to figure out now is how to make this setup run like a kiosk with it booting into my program with a graphical environment but with no actual desktop (just a blank screen). There will be an LCD showing the program but at the same time I want the program available through a remote connection.
I've got the blank desktop working via VNC but I think I should change to xrdp (the target users all have windows with remote desktop connection installed by default but what vnc is or have the permissions to install a vnc client).
Anyway, I think getting xrdp started with my program at boot will be pretty simple (famous last words?). I simply start the xrdp instance in rc.local then use the session script to start my program.
What I cant wrap my head around is not having two copies of my program running - one showing on the LCD using HDMI and the other running on a second desktop through xrdp...
Fedora Installation :: Minimal Install Media - 'ext4 Cannot Be Used For Boot' Error
Jun 15, 2009I live in a country where 1Mbit broadband is a premium service for large businesses. I am paying a little over $40 a month for a 128k connection with monthly capping. I want to download Fedora but the download is just huge for my connection, especially as it is used for work 14 hours a day. I have attempted the LiveCD and got the 'ext4 cannot be used for boot' error. I also have several other specialised distros on this machine and it's going to be a pain inserting a new boot partition just for Fedora.
Like it is possible with Slackware, can I just download the first CD of the Fedora 11 set and get a minimal install from this or does Fedora need the whole set of disks? Is there a simple enough net install option that I could use instead? I can't understand why they can't just release something like Ubuntu's alternate install CD.
Fedora Installation :: Boot - Grub Drops Into Its Minimal Shell And Gives A Command Line
Jun 12, 2009I'd like to say I'm very impressed with Fedora 11. I'm a long time Linux user and I've tried many distros. But, I usually keep only the best on my laptop. For a long time that was Ubuntu but, I think Fedora 11 has made some key improvements over Ubuntu and I'm eager to switch. The problem is: I haven't been able to run Fedora as anything other than on the Live CD. Everything works perfectly and it installs but, when I reboot, Grub begins. Instead of booting, however, Grub drops into its minimal shell and gives me a command line.
I've tried installing it a number of ways now and have read much about the problems with Ext4 on Grub and took special care to see that Grub has its own, separate, /boot ext3 partition. Even then, no luck. My hardware should work fine. I've got an HP DV-5 with 4GB RAM, AMD Turion 64-bit dual-core @ 2 Ghz, and an IDE 250GB hard drive. I'm working with the 64-bit Fedora 11 Live disc with KDE as the Gui.

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot From USB Connected External Hard Take Long Time From Loading INITRD Image To Start Boot Process?
Jul 18, 2011I have installed "open-SUSE 11.4" on a "500GB Free Agent External Hard Drive". I didn't have any problem in booting since last week that I booted it from my laptop. Also I did it before several times from then when I try to boot it e.g. from an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz" PC the time between loading INITRD and starting boot sequence messages lasts nearly 30 minutes!(i didn't actually measure it but it take a long time in the same order). after starting boot sequence which is showed on monitor everything looks normal. e.g copy of files would be done by speeds between 2MB/s to 30 MB/s depending on the targets.I used to use the external hard derive to boot from different laptops and PC's from start but I didn't have such a problem anytime.

Jan 18, 2011My HDD crashed (it wasn't completely disastrous, though). I was able to get my Ubuntu 10.10 partition of the disk with dd_rescue. I can see all of the data in the partition and everything. dd_rescue reported that there were no errors.Now, I have a fresh HDD, and I copied the image that I created with Gparted, and turned the boot flag on. I turn my system on, and all I get is a flashing cursor in the corner of the screen.I get the feeling that this would be easy for a seasoned user, but I'm not sure where to go. I originally got some information about cloning partitions here: [URL] But, it doesn't tell you how to reload the image after you make it.

Ubuntu :: Make A Backup Image - But Dual Boot ?
Oct 1, 2010I have decided to remove Windows from my disk, but I want to keep my current install of Ubuntu.
One possibility that sprang to mind was to make an image out of my Ubuntu install.
Since I dual boot, the disk is numbered "SDA2" (extended) "SDA5" (root) and then there is Swap. (Windows is the first part of the disk)
One question sprang to mind:
If I make an image out of it, what happens to the numbers? Will there be any conflicts? Not to mention the question of which program would be best (and easiest to use, preferably with a GUI, since I want to save time, not learn code).
And if I would go for a binary dump to an external disk (to put it back when the destination disk is empty), would the same problems arise? Or would that bring even more problems, like the issue of the swap partition, which I would have to receate, since it wouldn't fit on the "dump disk"?
This is all because the whole thing sounds very similar to placing the ubuntu partition to the front of the disk, which, as I have been told, is not a good idea.
Ubuntu :: Computer Won't Boot After Restoring Clonezilla Image?
Jul 18, 2011I have long been using clonezilla as my backup/restore software and have never had a problem with it before, ever. Today I backed up my entire disk (windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10) and upgraded to 11.04 to try it out. I didn't like it, so I decided to restore the backup. Now I can't boot my computer. It gets to a black screen and nothing happens. No error message, nothing. I can still boot from a live USB (which is what I am using now), and I can also boot from a Windows Live CD. I tried using the MBR repair on Windows and reinstalling Grub through the Ubuntu Live USB. Neither of them have worked. Do you have any ideas what the problem might be?

View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Can't Boot A Restored Image?
May 6, 2011I'm trying to create test system on which I can load saved images of a number of different distributions / versions from saved images. I'm using Acronis in Windows to manage the partitions and the images. This works fine for a while but every now and then I do something (typically install a new distro / version) and subsequent restores of the previously working images fail. After restoring the image I get a "grub rescue" prompt and thereafter I'm stuck. Typical advice in this situation seems to revolve around repairing the installation using a bootable dvd, but that's not really relevant in my case - I'm trying to find a way to reliably load these images. My configuration is
HD 1
Partition 1 -> Windows 15GB used to manage the system with Acronis.
Partition 2 -> 20GB partition, used to mount linux ext3/4 image (or other operating systems)
Partition 3 -> 20GB partition, used to mount linux swap partition
remainder unformatted
HD2 1 big partition to hold saved images
When ever I install an image I mount "/" and swap on partition 1 and 2. Whenever I save an image I save the MBR of HD1 and partitions 2 and 3 and of course the reverse to recover. So yesterday I recovered my Ubuntu 10.10 image and booted (selecting the OS in Acronis OS selector (boot manager)) which then shows me GRUB and then boots Linux. I then performed an Ubuntu upgrade to 11.4 and saved the image as usual. I then restored the 10.10 image and where I would normally see the grub menu I get "grub rescue>". So clearly the upgrade has messed with something grub related, but my question is where? It can't be in the MBR of HD1 or either of the partitions 2 / 3 as these get restored. Can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong, or at least explain where these grub files actually are? I have always assumed that anything grub related is in my active partition (with the MBR "pointing to" this), clearly this is not correct.
General :: Creating An Image For PXE Boot
Jul 14, 2010Right direction regarding the creation of a bootable Linux Image for PXE booting. I've already consulted google and the other obvious sources I could think of, but it seems that PXE is mostly used to install stuff, which isn't quite what I need.
The goal here is to have a pool of computers that boot from a central source so maintenance is less of a hassle. Installation of the individual PCs is not desired and I'm supposed to provide a functional Linux via PXE booting.
What I need is basically a way to turn a working Linux into an image that can be booted via network. Or to recreate that Linux as an image that I can boot.
Ubuntu :: Updated To New Image And Forgot To Update Menu - Lst Can't Boot?
Jan 10, 2010i know i have been having a lot of problems, but i keep having more this time, i ran update manager, and noticed that i was getting a new image, but i quickly forgot this. then, while installling the updates, it asked me if i wanted to keep my old menu.lst. i told it to keep my old one, since it worked fine. it then told me that i needed to restart, so i did. it got to where it would normally start loading grub, but my computer wouldn't go any farther. (would not load grub) i would think that it would still load my old image. i am writing this while running a liveUSB.
i ran the boot info script, and attached its output. i know this should be posted under installation&upgrades, but general help seems to be much more active. because of this, my father doesn't want me updating any more.
Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Boot Lucid Netinstall Image On Xserve G5?
May 25, 2010I'm an admin for a large (768-node) cluster of Apple Xserve G5s. We've been running Fedora, but we'd like to switch to an LTS release of Ubuntu for various reasons. I can boot the Lucid netinstall kernel (32- or 64-bit) with yaboot, which appears to correctly transfer the kernel and initrd, but when the kernel tries to unzip the initrd, it fails with "EOF while reading compressed data". I'm using the same yaboot binary we've been using for Fedora; the Fedora netboot image works a little differently but the file sizes are comparable.
I attempted the Karmic image to compare, and it boots, loads the initrd, and goes happily on its way, modulo an unrelated mistake of mine. The relevant yaboot stanzas look like this:
Code:
image=ubuntu/vmlinux-64.karmic
label=ubuntu-karmic-node
initrd=ubuntu/initrd-karmic-64.gz
initrd-size=18914
root=/dev/ram
[Code]...
Apart from our site changes (we're using the Kickstart support in d-i to smooth the transition), this is copied from the sample files on ports.ubuntu.com. Has anyone else seen similar problems?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Boot Disk Image For Install On AMD RAID PC?
Sep 3, 2010I tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 WS on my PC but it did not see any disks to install on. I believe this is because my drives are all configured as RAID. My mobo is an Asus M3A78-EMH HDMI AM2+ socket with an Athlon 2X 5000+ CPU. The chipset is AMD 780G. I have the BIOS configured for RAID drives and I already run Win XP x32 and Win 7 x64 on it. My boot drive is configured as 'RAID READY' and I have 2 RAID 1 disks consisting of pairs of SATA drives.
From what I have researched it seems that with some tuning it should be possible to install Ubuntu 10.04 but I have little Linux experience and don't want to mess up my existing drives. I have installed Linux before a few times and run it but never with RAID. Is anyone aware of an existing disk image that I will be able to install from on my system or would it be possible for someone to create one for me to use?
