Ubuntu :: Unable To Execute From Windows Partition
Dec 12, 2010
I am dual booting XP and Kubuntu 10.10 from separate hard drives and I can't execute .exe files from my XP drive. I also have an internal data drive that I can execute .exe files from fine. When I try to go into the properties for the file to mark it executable I am unable to do so. I have ran "sudo nautilus" to mark the files executable and that doesn't work either. I even changed /dev/sdb1 to be owned by myself instead of root, and that doesn't help. When I used "sudo nautilus" I also got error messages in my terminal when I tried to do anything (which I copied and attached to this post).
i tried installing windows 7 on a partition on my laptop but i'm getting this message:"setup was unable to create a new partition or locate an existing system partition "i tried googling and found that it has something to do with the number of partitions:my hard disk layout right now:
I am unable to mount my Windows 7 partition. I receive the following error:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [mntent]: line 14 in /etc/fstab is bad [mntent]: line 16 in /etc/fstab is bad mount: can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Upon trying to boot Windows I got through the GRUB startup selections and then i get stuck at a black screen displaying "Starting Up. . ." That would be no problem, I just boot ubuntu instead and mount the partition to access the programs I'm looking for. Now I get an interesting error message:
"Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: ntfs_mst_post_read_fixup: magic: 0x00150000 size: 4096 usa_ofs: 0 usa_count: 1040: Invalid argument Actual VCN (0x15000011d92501) of index buffer is different from expected VCN (0x1). Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details."
I would run chkdsk in windows if I could, but that's my problem in the first place.
I have partioned my harddrive when I installed ubuntu 10.10 Desktop edition, 32-bit. But, after I installed it I can no longer access the Windows partition. I have never played with Linux OS before. I will provide a screen-shot of the partition. [URL]
I have windows machine and installed ubuntu in one of my partition, So i was able to select any of these OS's while booting the machine, But recently I've formatted Windows partition after this am unable to reach this ubuntu. i.e., While booting the machine no options are listing out it directly went to Windows OS.
I have a 6TB external eSata bay (Lacie BigQuadra). I made a GPT table with only one big ext4 partition. All was ok. I resized the ext4 partition and I created a 1TB NTFS partition. I can use it on Kubuntu but Windows 7 tell me the partition is not formated. When I go back to Kubuntu, parted tell me that the secondary GPT table is not at the end of the disk and tell me it's probably an other OS that thinks the disk is smaller that its real size. It seems Windows 7 thinks the disk size is 2 TB (and modify automaticaly the GPT table and create a secondary GPT table on the middle of the disk).
What can I do to make my NTFS partition visible in Windows 7? What can I do to prevent Windows 7 to move the secondary partition table on the middle of the disk and to modify the primary GPT table ?
Now however its not letting me resize the Windows partition, mounted or unmounted. It currently occupies the whole disk. I would rather not reinstall the whole thing over again, but I will if I have to. Isnt there an easy way to shrink a Windows partition? I swear Ive done this before and it wasnt this hard. Could it be a problem with the Mint installer that now asks me if I want to unmount my disks before it goes into install mode? On this PC I would like to have
Windows XP Mint Ubuntu-Studio Edubuntu One of the E17 OSs Puppy Linux (to create a remix)
I am probably going to put most of the linux partitions on the second laptop drive but I want to install files on a non WIndows NTFS partition.
I got tired of dual booting on my old computer so on the new computer I am planning to run XP on VMware Player. The problem is that on the new computer neither Ubuntu or XP can "see" the FAT32 partition. I intend to use the FAT32 partition for photo images and old Windows files and need access from both Ubintu and XP.
I am currently running a dual boot machine with Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows Vista.Is there any way I can delete the Linux partition and Grub boot loader without affecting the Windows partition at all?I would also like to be able to repartition all of the space that was previously occupied by Linux.
After several times install & reinstall,i got a stable dual boot vista / ubuntu 10.10.,but i can't access or even see my windows partition from ubuntu,i installed my dual boot with wubu this time,in previous installation when i didn't use wubi , i didn't have such a problem & windows partition with all my files in it (windows files,media ,etc,) was easily accessible from "places" on ubuntu . I already disabled windows firewall & other security options but nothing changed
recently i did a fresh install of 11.3 on an ext4 partition. My data disk is a ext3 and the new system mounts it during boot.I can write to it but i can not execute programs from this partition.in fstab i can not find something like "noexec"permissions of mount folder looks ok for me. e.g. execute compiled "hello world"
I have a triple boot system with Ubuntu 11.04, Windows 7 and Windows-XP on it. My disc configuration is something like this... ('cause I think it would be required for you to understand my problem) I have a 250GB hard disk which was originally partitioned with Windows-XP in six partitions C,D,E,F,G and H (All NTFS type) with 'C' drive having Windows-XP on it and 'D' drive having Windows-7 on it.
I installed Ubuntu on the 'H' drive by partitioning it into two halves of approximately 20GB each. One partition is named 'New Volume' as per Windows naming scheme. On the other partition I installed my Ubuntu-11.04 OS. As per my plan I would be using this 'New Volume' for all my Ubuntu related data and software only. I want to install 'Ant' build tool for Java to be usable on my Ubuntu. For this, as described on the Apache Ant user manual I downloaded the 'apache-ant-1.8.2-bin.tar.gz' and extracted it. All this I did in the 'New Volume' drive.
Now as per the 'Ant' manual I needed to change a file's ('/media/New Volume/ubuntu files/software files/apache-ant-1.8.2/bin/ant') permission to executable, which is currently set to '-rw-------' and I want it to be '-rwx------'. I've tried various things such as 'chmod/sudo' and also tried changing the permission with the 'root' user, but so far I've not been able to change the permissions for this file. However, if I copy the 'apache-ant-1.8.2' folder to '/home' directory then I've been able to change the permission for the concerned file.
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850 running Ubuntu 10.04 Server with SSH and Samba. My problem is that I am unable to execute my adduser.sh script which reads from a text file and adds users to the box and Samba. I have ran chmod a+x to make it executable and placed it in /usr/local/bin.
When I run sudo adduser.sh I get "sudo: unable to execute /usr/local/bin/adduser.sh: No such file or directory".
When I run adduser.sh I get "-bash: /usr/local/bin/adduser.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory " I have been using Kubuntu as my home workstation for some time now but I have managed Windows servers but since I was given the freedom to setup this server I chose Linux.
The image below is pretty much self-explanatory. PArtition sizes are to scale. The pink swap partition is 2.5 GB for example. Exactly 10 times bigger area is 25 GB. Does anyone know of any possible culprits regarding such a setup? Additional questions:
1. Will such a placment of swap partition screw up boot manager or any part of the booting process on non-dualboot machine?
2. Is it possible to execute all the rearrangements as depicted using the procedure described here? [URL]
I used to execute the command setrcs /data/dev/projects in a solaris machine. And all the files in the given path were visible from the current directory (whichever directory i am in). So that i need not copy necessary files required for compilation from the path to the current directory.
Ex: Suppose I am writing a C code x.c in the directory /root/test/. I do #include <bdm.c> in the file x.c. While executing I need not have the bdm.c in the current directory. Because I have executed the command setrcs /data/dev/projects. The compiler automatically looks for the bdm.c file in the path /data/dev/projects. But i am not able to execute the command setrcs in linux. Is there any similar command with similar functions or if there is any different command in Linux which serves my purpose.
My question is I trying to install php5 and add mcrypt,, but it is unable to run "aclocal" command. It show this message.
I have check with the path of /etc/profile, I'm sure that I have added the path as below. Beside that, before "aclocal" command I able to run another command which is "phpize". It is able to run successfully, after I added the path as below...
I am trying to move our current system running on Mason, Apache 1.34 and Mod_perl1.0 to Apache2&mod_perl2.0. I am currently unable to execute the mason files, I tried a test.pl file which is executing. I have referred to the multiple forums, http://www.masonhq.com/?FAQ:Components & http://perl.apache.org. But so far the Mason files are displaying as text but not executing the embedded html. Kindly let me know if anyone had a similar issue and how did you go about resolving the same.
I installed wine and I installed one of my file ccnaexploration.exe using wine. After that I ran it from applications>wine>programs>exploration4.html. It opened with the browser google-chrome and I launched the "Launch course". It didn't work after that. I tried with firefox also. It didn't work with firefox also. I installed other .exe file using wine. That other .exe file is working. I only have problem with exploration4.html. I have posted the .html image also. you can check it out.
I am trying to execute a 4GE file using command something like this "/usr/bin/ksh path of the file with some arguments " ex: /usr/bin/ksh /home/abc.4ge S "./xyz" . I am able to execute the 4GE without this "/usr/bin/ksh" specifying in the command which basically runs in ksh shell itself. But when i try to run it exclusively using the path of the shell it gives me an error something like this "/usr/bin/ksh: /home/abc.4ge: cannot execute". I did check the permissions and all the file has execute permission.
I have problem starting clamd. It's unable to execute setgroups() /etc/group , /etc/password files are world readable Here is output after starting clamd: sudo clamd ERROR: setgroups() failed.
So I have an NTFS volume with many programs I (used to) use on a regular basis. Since upgrading to 10.10, I can't use them. Obviously, an execute bit cannot be added onto files on an NTFS volume. These are Windows programs that ran perfectly with WINE on 10.04. I have tried
Code: mount -o remount,exec /media/0A08B33E08B32819
It doesn't work. I do not have the luxury of installing PlayOnLinux to do the script workaround. The programs are too large to move to the EXT4 volume I have set up for Linux. I need a work around on this ASAP or I'm ditching Ubuntu for good. From the stupid "let's make the buttons on the left like Mac" (which I have switched back over, but it's still annoying) in Lucid to this glorious fail in Maverick, Debian is looking better and better. Besides, it's not like the packages installed in Ubuntu can't be installed in other distros.
I'm not so expert using Debian (3.2.68), especially when it comes to install stuff... I tried to execute for the first time a *.sh 451mb file, but it displayed that:
Code: Select allroot@Poulpe:/home/ambroise# sh gog_hatoful_boyfriend_2.0.0.2.sh Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing Hatoful Boyfriend (GOG.com) 100% Collecting info for this system... Operating system: linyx CPU Arch: x86_64 trying mojosetup in bin/linux/x86_64 USING
PANIC Initial setup failed. Cannot continue.
Error: Couldn't run mojosetup
It seems that mojosetup is an open software included for all recent GOG games, but maybe it can't run on Debian ? Or could it be more a directory issue ?
