Ubuntu Networking :: Vista Prints Test Page But Nothing Else?
Oct 18, 2010I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old box to use as an office print/fax and file server. I tried the server edition but I had no chance with command line programming so I've just used normal Ubuntu.
Ubuntu itself is working fine and I've installed my HP Officejet printer and it's fully working on the Ubuntu box. SAMBA and CUPS are installed.
I've then added the printer onto my Vista machine and here's where the fun starts. The Vista box sees the printer on Ubuntu, adds it with no problem and happily prints test pages, but I can't get it printing anything else.
I can't for the life of me find any reason why it would print a test page, but not print from Word, adobe or even a browser.
Ubuntu Installation :: Os_prober Calls The Vista Partition The Windows Recovery Partition
Feb 20, 2011Two days ago I repartitioned my laptop HD and added the latest Ubuntu (2.6.35-25-generic) to the existing Vista and existing Ubuntu (2.6.32-28-generic via upgrades from 9.14(?)). Prior to this install it was using Grub with menu.lst from the old/upgrade Ubuntu. After the install the boot menu labels the partition with Vista as the Windows Recovery partition and the recovery partition item is no longer present.
At first I wondered how I could get Vista to boot. I found that SuperGrub cd would boot it OK. Then, it dawned on me that the boot menu item was not the recovery partition, but instead the Vista OS partition mislabelled . Vista loads just fine from it. The recovery partition is no longer listed as it was with Grub/menu.lst. SuperGrub will not boot the recovery partition, showing an error "missing BOOTMGR".
'os-prober' produces--
root@Toshiba:/home/deh# os-prober
/dev/sda2:Windows Recovery Environment (loader):Windows:chain
/dev/sda7:Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (10.04):Ubuntu:linux
[code]...
I edited boot/grub/grub.cfg so the boot menu item is labelled correctly, but suspect that it will revert back when there is an upgrade.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: How To Share Printer Between Kubuntu And Vista
Feb 2, 2010Is there someone out there that makes something simple that you can network and share a printer between Kubuntu and Vista? I have my office computer running Kubuntu, which also has the printer attached to it. My media machine downstairs is running Vista, which I'd like to be able to print and share files from. I've been doing some reading that you need to use Samba. So, I installed Samba through Synaptic, and it appears that nothing happened. So, I did some more googling, and found I had to install something about system-config-samba, so I did.
I now have a Samba icon under k-menu > System > Samba. However, when I click on this icon, nothing happens. It does nothing (just like clicking on the Network Manager icon, which does nothing as well). So, I am now utterly confused. Is there a way to change samba settings via gui? I'm not comfortable with typing unknown commands into the terminal, as usually there is no explanation as to what's going on. If there was a step by step explanation, that would be ok, but as of now, there is nothing. Is there a simple setup tool out there?

Server :: Unable To Access Samba Share On CentOS 5.4 From Windows XP Or Vista
Jan 23, 2010I can't be the first one with this problem. What am I missing?
I have setup Samba servers in the past, just none under SELinux. The last one I configured was a couple years ago, so I wouldn't doubt I'm a bit rusty.
---- Environment summary:
Clean server install of CentOS 5.4 includes SELinux
- lets call this 'server'
- updated samba to 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1
Client1 - Windows XP sp4 - WINS configuration uses 'server' noted above
Client2 - Windows Vista - WINS configuration uses 'server' noted above
---- What works / what doesn't ------
Clients can see the server (XP and vista) in network neighborhood.
The following does not work from windows (xp or vista)
net view
net view \server
net view \server-ip
net view \servershare
This does work on the server
smbclient -L \server
smbclient -L \server --user validuser
smbclient -L \client1 --user validuser
---- What I have configured and tried (config/output below) --------
firewall ports for samba are open
SELinux enforcing or permissive
file context is set on share
samba booleans are set
***firewall

Ubuntu :: Recover My Ubuntu Partition After Resizing My Vista Partition?
Nov 7, 2009I used to have a dual boot vista + ubuntu jaunty configuration. I installed ubuntu bootloader in the ubuntu partion not the MBR using advanced option during installation. Then i used Easy BCD to edit my Vista Boot Configuration and add an entry for Ubuntu.
Problem:
Everthing worked like a charm, until one day i decided to shrink my vista partition to get some free space using Microsoft Windows Disk Management Utility "diskmgmt.msc".
Now when i boot into linux i get grub prompt only.
When i do this (to find out my linux partition):
Then i booted with ubuntu live cd
Same thing : file not found
And i dont see my Ubuntu partition in My computer under Live DVD session.
Then i opened Gparted it doesn't show any ext2/ext3 partitions instead it shows my ubuntu partition as Upartitioned. Now is it that my ubuntu partition is dead, i can never recover it back.
Ubuntu :: Can't Boot Into Vista Partition
Jul 2, 2010I've got a dual boot system with Ubuntu 9.10 on one partition and Vista on the other.
After selecting the Vista option within GRUB, the boot seems to start as normal and after the Dell scrawl screen, the machine just seems to restart and I end up back at the GRUB menu.
Booting into Vista recovery mode doesn't resolve the issue.
The only other oddity I could mention is that I believe an update I did after installing 9.10 updated the linux kernel, because there are now two sets of linux kernel versions available within GRUB, while there was only one present when I first installed, and Vista was still working.
Ubuntu :: Print From Vista Partition But Not From 11.04?
Jul 18, 2011Bottom line: I was able to print to a network printer before. Now I can't. I can print from my Vista partition, but not from 11.04.
Level of Linux experience: Like listening to a conversation between a Brit and an American.
Details:
(1) HardwareDual boot on Dell Inspiron 530 (11.04 and Vista)iomega print server GPSU21hp Office Jet 5610 All-in-One(2) Test page: pdf file from a usb drive; other test pages produce same results
Installation of network printer:
I followed what I believe to be standard procedure: Using the Unity interface, I opened up the Printing application. I then clicked "Add". Then "Network Printer", then "Find Network Printer". I typed in the Host (192.168.1.6; static assignment made while in Vista via iomega's software). Then it searches. It fills in its own blanks thus: Under the heading "Devices" > "Network Printer" it says, "JetDirect (192.168.1.6) (192.168.1.6)". In the panel on the right it says, "Host: 192.168.1.6:631/ipp", then, "Queue: ipp". I click "Verify..." and an error message pops up that says, "Inaccessible The print share is not accessible"
If I proceed forward, I can install drivers, but nothing will ever print. Following procedure, I click to print a test page. The job is sent to the queue and then I get this Printer State message: "Stopped - Destination printer does not exist!"

Ubuntu :: Current Root Partition Isn't Enough - Vista
Jan 26, 2010I currently have a partition dedicated to Vista and a partition for Ubuntu, only I haven't used Vista in as long as I can remember and have no intention of doing so any time soon. I want to format vista, merging it into Ubuntu. However, I have also created a partition for Root and Home, 11gb and 76gb, thinking back I should have just put Ubuntu altogether on one partition, I intend on installing more software in the future an it appears my current root partition isn't enough. Other than starting from scratch and losing everything, I can't think of how I can tidy everything up, I don't want to be restricted in how much software I can install, but as long as Root is in a separate partition it looks like I'm stuck.

Ubuntu :: Erase Vista And Integrate Partition
Mar 25, 2011I am running a dual boot system under ubuntu and Vista on my laptop. Many months ago the Windows partition crashed completely so half of my computer is practically dead. I would like to erase Vista and integrate their partition in the Ubuntu one. The best case scenario would be if I could just merge the two partitions into one and just have one large Ubuntu partition. If this is not possible, could I create a second hard drive within the linux partition?
I would just erase everything and reformat the whole hard disk to run under Ubuntu, but unfortunately I need my computer on a daily basis for work and I have installed so many programs that it would be really painstaking to reinstall them all from scratch... I am not so skilled with informatics, and I'm really scared of losing data, so if anyone could spend some time for a step-by-step solution description I'd be really grateful! Or, of course, eventually write a link where the problem is treated. I am running under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
Ubuntu :: Vista Will Not Recognize NTSF Partition After Install
Jan 19, 2010I have two hard drives, a 320GB and a 1.5TB. The first hard drive has two windows partitions. The first one is the main vista partition and the second one is one for factory restore (its an HP pavilion).
So wanted to install both ubuntu and ubuntu studio on the second hard drive, so I allocated about 1TB as an ntfs partition that I wanted to be accessible by both vista and ubuntu. So I have 400GB left for both distros. I have partitioned off two 40GB partitions for the two roots and I'm sharing one large home parititon and I put a swap partition at the end of the disk.
After I got through the second installation (ubuntu studio) vista no longer recognised the ntfs partition on the second disk. I thought maybe the install botched the boot sector, so I used testdisk to try to fix it, but it hasn't done any good. I do not want to format the second drive again because I have data on there I transferred over from an old hard drive before I installed ubuntu.
I tried to 'initialise' the disk in vista, but that just wiped the partition table so I had to fix that with testdisk on a live cd
Does anyone have any idea how i could possibly fix this problem or what winblows is thinking? I want to be able to read the partition in windows.

Ubuntu :: Using U9.04 - Can't Change Vista Partition With Gparted / Solve This?
Apr 13, 2010I'm trying to install jaunty at the moment, running off of live CD, and for some odd reason, the excellent sliding partitioner in hardy has been removed and I have to prepare my partitions beforehand. Unfortunatley the reason I am installing ubuntu on this particular computer is because (surprise) windows failed. Basically this means, although I'd be happy to install 'buntu to my whole HDD, I, or more specifically, some relatives, have important data on the windows partition making this unacceptable. I tried changing the vista partition size via GParted, but all the options are greyed out and I can't even give myself a not so generous 100GB of space. (180GB~ free space on HDD). Any help would be greatly appreciated, but if I loose this data (and through extension, the gov't looses their precious income taxes).

Jan 6, 2011Trying to boot alongside windows (just in case!). I downloaded the ISO from Ubuntu website before I saw the windows installer. After which I downloaded the windows installer! Now each time I try to load either one it tries to download the iso again. I'm only on a PAYG connection ATM so downloading again is not really viable this month!
I've tried to make a new partition using:
my computer/ management/ shrink
But the size that windows allows is 140MB which obviously is not enough, I tried burning the ISO to a CDROM and booting this way but windows did not bother booting the disc. I entered F2 BIOS and changed the boot order to my CDRW drive 1st but still UBUNTU did not boot. Windows recovery manager or something booted.
