I create liveusb using Ubuntu. The problem is Ubuntu always use my swap partition, but i want to make it use my swapfile which is located on the flashdisk. I know that after login, i can add swap. But that's not the point, i want Ubuntu use swap file in flashdisk since booting.
View 3 RepliesIs there any way when booting the LiveCD of Ubuntu 11.04 to force the use of classic mode, even if the computer meets the requirements to use Unity and would otherwise start Unity? Is there a kernel parameter that would do this? In searching, all I can find is the selection during login, but this seems to only show up after a full installation, I want to do this in the Live CD environment.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've done a good few ubuntu installations for friends and colleagues and now my Dad wants in on the action. His PC is more than capable of running ubuntu 32 bit BUT I've hit a brick wall I've never come across before. I've burnt a CD image of the 10.04 iso from [URL] on my ubuntu box and for some reason, his PC just won't boot from it. If I select the option to manually select the boot source, all I see is the hardware monitor telling me things like CPU temperature. As for the Live USB - nothing whatsoever. Is it possible that I've managed to corrupt the iso file somehow?
View 3 Replies View RelatedLive CD: I dowloaded the ISO, burned it to CD, booted from this CD. It starts to load and I can see the purple background with the loading icons. Everything seems normal. But instead of ending up with the login screen, it ends up with a screen that says 'Please remove all bootup media and hit ENTER' or something like this. So I hit enter and then it shuts off my computer. That's it.
Live Stick: So I tried another option and created a stick with 'usb-creator.exe' that is on the CD. Then I start from that stick, but all I end up is a line of 'Syslinux bla bla copyright 20xx-2011'. That's it. Then it does nothing anymore. The cursor is blinking, but no prompt or whatsoever and keyboard input doesn't do anything.
Now something weird: When I insert Live CD and Live Stick at the same time and then boot my computer, then it boots into Ubuntu. Obviously it loads the first parts from CD and then the rest from stick. Because when I'm then in Ubuntu and try to format the stick, it says it can't do so, because there's system files from that stick in use.
I can't seem to find this anywhere. I have burned Debian 5.06 for i386 and trying to login when running the live cd. What is the username and password to get in?
edit....
I found 'user' and 'live' but they don't work.
I need aufs support/patch for kernel 2.6.34.1 as i i need to create a live linux distro for my organization and linux live scripts (the scripts which I am using for creating live linux distro) require aufs and squashfs support. There is a directive for squashfs in kernel configuration file but nothing for aufs and the patch available at linux-live site seems not to work.

I've hired a dedicated Ubuntu10.10 Server on a remote colocation. I needed a GUI to be able to hook into my KVM guests, so I installed xubuntu-desktop.
My dedicated server provider provides me very useful free service. I can request a CTRL+ALT+DEL to my server through their web based server control panel, and I can boot into a live image from their network. This is vital for me to be able fix back configuration problems.
However after I have installed xubuntu-desktop (XFCE I believe), the CTRL+ALT+DEL no longer reboots the machine.
I've been struggling with this simple issue for quite a few days, I simply can't get it to work.
I've tried setting it through XCFE 4 Settings Manager. It does not work. From my understanding any keyboard shortcuts defined here are specific to user, so I think they'll not work when the server is in login screen (no user logged in).
I've tried to put control-alt-delete.conf files in /etc/init and /etc/init/d , neither seems to trigger reboot.
I use Ubuntu 10.10 on a Medion PC (E6220), and everything is fine and dandy ... except, the webcam does not work. Well actually I think it does work, and I also think, that Ubuntu would recognize it, if it was turned on. The problem however is, that in order to turn it on, I need to press fn+F9, and that key combo simply does not work ... neither does the fn+F7 combo, which toggles the wifi - but that is less important, since wifi is on and works. Logging into i.e. win7, toggling the webcam there, and then back into Ubuntu is not really an option at the moment. So right now I seem to be stuck in a situation, where a non-defined keyboard shortcut equals no webcam at all. The obvious question of course is: Is there a way to force the webcam on without the key-combo?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn Ubuntu Karmic conencting a USB device causes OS to automatically mount its partitions to /media/LABEL, automatically creating proper directories which are later automatically destroyed immediately after unmounting. But what if If I manually unmount a specific partition and I would like the OS to try doing automount another time, without reconnecting the whole device (it can have other partitions in active use)? I know I can mount manually, but then I have to create a directory for the mount point and I have to remember later to remove it manually.I'd like to be done as before, with the mount point directory being automatically destroyed after unmounting - can this be done in a terminal?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to re-install tomcat6 after removing it and all it's dependencies, but it got corrupt when trying to re-install. I'm on Ubuntu Sever Lucid 10.04 LTS with command line only.
I started with:
Code:
sudo apt-get auto-remove tomcat6
Then I deleted the /etc/tomcat6 directory manually since it contained file settings I didn't want. I assumed it would automatically install the missing files.
Then I tried re-installing tomcat6 as follows:
Code:
sudo apt-get install tomcat6
This yielded an error:

How are you supposed to completely remove a package and re-install it normally?
