Fedora :: Get Kickstart To Start A Partition On A Specific Sector?
Feb 16, 2010I need a way to get Kickstart to start on a on a specific sector. For example you can do this using parted
parted /dev/sda
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) unit s
(parted) mkpart primary ext2 40 -1
This will start a partition on sector 40. How can I do this with a kickstart file?
Fedora Installation :: Partition Does Not Start On Physical Sector Boundary?
Aug 22, 2011fdisk -l: Disk /dev/sda: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes.
[Code]...
I've tried other installations, but I always get errors like this. /dev/sda 5, 7 and 8 are occupied by PCLinuxOs. /dev/sda 9, 10, 11 and 12 by Fedora. I made room for Linux installations by GParted (last version). Really, I made no errors. The installer of PCLOS is a bit strange: it changed the NTFS partition sda5 in sda 6! In a previous installation with Fedora and Kubuntu only the extend partition sda 4 complained about not starting on physical sector boundary. The hard disk is Western Digital with Advanced Format. Probably this is the cause of the problem. The systems are snappy and responsive. I do not encounter any problem. What to do? Ignoring the problem or reinstalling? May be it would be better to get rid of PCLOS and to dual boot Windows with Fedora?
General :: Bootable Partition Start From Sector 1 On Hard Disk?

Jun 30, 2010I tried my best on searching for the answer to this question. I couldn't find the right command to start another XServer. Maybe I just don't know how to look for it, or I'm using the wrong keywords. Anyway, what I want to happen is hit CTRL+ALT+F6 (F7 to return to my desktop) and start another XServer to run a full screen game. How do i do that? Is it possible to have multiple instances of X?
By the way, the error says that an instance of x server is already running on display 0 after I have issued this command: Code: startx In case you're wondering why this is my solution, it's because scripting is not my type for automatically making an xserver when I click a game, especially if you'd have to do it for all other games :/ So, let's stick to my idea D unless it's impossible, of course. EDIT: I was able to get a new xserver with xterm in it, but it seems there is no acceleration or some sort >.< OpenLieroX runs at a frame rate of 15 fps or so. Anyone have an idea on how to enable acceleration on openbox?

General :: Can't Find ./prog.sh Start - Unable To Kill Manually Using Command
Nov 3, 2010I'm trying to figure out how to operate a rather large Java program, 'prog'. If I go to its /bin/ dir and configure its setenv.sh and prog.sh to use local directories and my current user account. Then I try to run it via "./prog.sh start". Here are all the relevant bits of prog.sh:
[code]...
When I actually do ./prog.sh start, it starts. But I can't find it at all on the process list. Nor can I kill it manually, using the same command the shell script uses. But I can tell it's running, because if I do ./prog.sh stop, it stops (and some temporary files elsewhere clean themselves out).
[code]...
the process is running yet not in any way listed by the system. I can't find it in ps or /proc/, nor can I kill it. But the shell script can still stop it properly. So my question is, how can something like this happen? Is the process supremely hidden, actually unlisted, or am I just missing it in some fashion? I'm trying to figure out what makes this program tick.
Software :: Sfdisk Starts Partition From Sector 1 Instead Of 63?
May 1, 2011Slackware 13.1,using "sfdisk".I need to use this one as it can be used in a non-interactive mode,"parted"is not a solution for me.Inside my own script I make the partition like this:
Code:
# MAKING PATITION:
set `losetup -f`; dev=$1
`losetup $dev $out`
sfdisk $dev << EOF
,,$fsys
EOF
However after formatting this single partition in FAT16 I can see the drive in my emulated Windows311, but not use it. It says that the drive cannot be accessed. When I do the same thing interactively with fdisk it all works. When inspecting the partitions in both cases via "fdisk -ul" I see that whenever sfdisk is used to create the partition it is created starting from the 1 sector. Whenever fdisk is used it is created from 63 sector (which is correct of course). How can I make my sfdisk start the partition not from the 1st sector, but also from the 63 so that OS wouldn't have problem with that?
I tried like this:
Code:
sfdisk -uS $dev << EOF
63,,$fsys
EOF
But it then just says that the partition does not end on the boundary. Trying to see the content with fdisk -ul says that partition table is incorrect. So doing it this way doesn't work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Grow Boot Sector. Delete Swap Partition. Can't Boot Afterwards.
Mar 7, 2010I'm running 9.10 off of a 4 GiB CF card. I keep running into space issues with updates, so I purchased an 8 GiB replacement card. I've cloned the 4 GiB card to a .IMG file using DD.I've then copied the 4 GiB image back to the 8 GiB card using the Ubuntu startup disk creator program. Once done, I'm able to properly boot off of the new 8 GiB clone.Unfortunately, the clone ends up with 3.67 GiB of unallocated space at the end *see attached). I tried deleting the "extended" partition that the swap is located at after booting from a Live CD and the system was unable to boot after this. I was thinking that I would delete the swap entirely and create a swap file after I merged the existing partitions, but I was unable to do this.
best way to do this (e.g. get one large 8 GiB partition with my old image on it)? I still have the original untouched 4 GiB card and also have an external CF drive if I need to redo the cloning. I've also used Clonezilla before, so perhaps there's a way to do this that allow me to grow the image as it's being cloned.

Ubuntu :: Chmod - Can't Run Sudo Or Start Network Manager

What am I doing wrong?
