View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Battery Backing CMOS Memory Dead - RTC Time Setup
Mar 9, 2011In my computer with Ubuntu 9.10 the battery backing CMOS memory is dead (and replacing it is not an option). This requires from me to set up RTC time in BIOS each time I turn on computer (default date is from couple years back). When I don't set time, Ubuntu don't want to startup and it shows me fallowing message :
/dev/sdb1 : Superblock last mount time (Tue .... 2011, now = Mon ...200 is in the future.
/dev/sdb1 : UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck Manually.
mountall: fsck / [842] terminated with status 4
mountall: Filesystem has errors: /
init: mount main process (840) terminated with status 3
Mount of filesystem failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
Is there any way to run Ubuntu without having RTC time set over, and over again in BIOS ? (It's acceptable for me not to have current time).

Ubuntu :: Edit To Change Boot Order And Various Boot Selections?
Jan 6, 2010I upgraded from XP to Windows 7 (I need this for legacy business) and decided to install Ubuntu permanently rather than using from CD. During an Ubuntu session I was prompted to upgrade, which I did, but when I boot up now, there seems to be 2 versions of Ubuntu which I can choose from the boot up menu, plus the usual mem test, safe mode etc, plus the option to boot Windows 7.
Firstly, is there in fact more than one Ubuntu image (and therefore precious disk space taken up), how do I find out, and if so what action should I take?If there is only one Ubuntu and one Windows 7 image, how do I edit (and where is the file) to change the boot order and the various boot selections?
Ubuntu Networking :: Setup OpenVPN In Order To Connect Back To Home Network While Traveling For Secure Browsing?
Apr 3, 2010I'm trying to setup OpenVPN in order to connect back to my home network while traveling for secure browsing and such. However, before I can even start trying to set that up I tried to see if I could open port check my computer through the net. And I'm having a hard time doing that.
As far as I can tell, here are my roadblocks:
1. Is ISP (Qwest) blocking my ports?
2. Is my modem doing the proper port forwarding and firewall?
3. Is my router doing the same?
4. Is my firewall on the computer allowing the request?
To minimize sources of error, I've turned off my local and router firewall and setup my router to forward ports. I'm not to familiar with my modem, but I'm pretty sure that the firewall is turned off by default and I think I've done port-forwarding correctly. But still no success when doing an open port check. At this point I don't know how to diagnose the problem.
Fedora Hardware :: Motherboard Configuration - Raid Setup Utility Shows Drives Out Of Order
Sep 19, 2010I just went out and bought stuff to build a new computer, and among the parts was a Gigabyte ga-890fxa-ud5 motherboard ([URL]). The board has 3 (well, 4, but we'll stick to the 3) main sata interfaces, with 2 slots per interface, allowing 6 sata drives. In slot_0 i put my blu-ray drive, in slot_1 i put my drive that will host the OS and its partitions, and that is in the sata connector pair on the left. The middle sata connector pair (slot_2 and slot_3) i have 2 2tb drives, and in the sata connector pair on the right (slot_4 and slot_5) i have 2 1.5tb drives.

wanting a dual-boot, 500GB hdd was formatted as above, Win Vista x64 Recovery CD was created, and antiX-M11 (as Swift Linux 0_1_1) installed. Now, at startup, machine boots to antiX and not Vista. User wants it the other way around. I think I should have reordered the partitions and not installed GRUB in MBR. EasyBCD is the preferred boot loader for User. This is a learning experience but due to time constraints and not being at my home where references are available, EasyBCD is on a USB stick -- should I boot to the Vista Recovery CD and then try to install EasyBCD to sda3 from it, uninstall antiX (but this will not fix the MBR problem, will it?), or edit fstab or what
Ubuntu :: How To Select Boot Order In HDD
Jan 8, 2010I'm getting a new HDD today. I have SATA 500GB, and I'm getting SATA II 500gb. This is what I wanted to ask. On my first HDD, I have Windows XP and ubuntu and on the new HDD, I will install Windows 7. What I wanted to ask, are such things like jumpers on my HDD (master/slave etc.) used to select boot order? Or will I have to go into BOOT settings and choose Win7 Hdd first in the boot order etc.?

Ubuntu :: Changing Boot Order
Oct 23, 2010Just installed Ubuntu 10.4 on a computer that normally runs XP Pro. I used a separate drive and unplugged the windows drive while installing Ubuntu (error number one right?). Ubuntu installed perfectly, plugged in windows drive, Windows boots perfectly. My only problem is that I don't have the boot list option unless I go into the BIOS and change default boot drive every time I want to switch OS.After a bit of research I configured GRUB to allow me to dual boot (Windows did not appear at first), but it boots directly into Ubuntu (fine for me, but my mother uses XP for work) instead of Windows. Unfortunately I have some sort of keyboard issue that makes the arrow keys inoperable until the machine has once booted into an OS.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5 :: CMOS Password Reset Possible From Within It?
Oct 7, 2010I have a lost password on an Intel DG33TL motherboard which I guess is only resetable by shorting the right jumpers on the board. I have two questions regarding that:
1- Is there any way I can reset the CMOS password through the CentOS? Or is that a thing of old motherboards where one could reset them through the OS?
2- Currently I have two hard drives installed in Raid1 (mirroring each other) through the motherboard RAID (not the through any RAID card or through CentOS). RAID was made prior to installing CentOS. So, would resetting the jumper mess up the whole RAID? I don't want trouble and I can leave without the password but it's good to know if need arises.

Ubuntu :: Change Order Of Boot Options?
Jul 5, 2010I am using Ubuntu 10.04 x64 in a three-boot configuration; the first boot choice screen (the one I would like to change) gives the options of booting to Ubuntu, 3 options I don't understand, and booting to Windows 7. Unfortunately, at least for me, Ubuntu is at the top and is the default. [The third choice is Win XP x32 - but it appears on a separate screen]
My question: How can I make the boot to Windows 7 the default choice?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Get To Bios In Order To Boot From TUSB
Sep 15, 2010I've bought a low-spec mini-netbook (the ALLFINE PC703) and I want to install Debian W/O a GUI on it. The trouble is I cannot get to the bios in order to boot from the USB and it says on the box (in very small print) that users cannot install other OSes then the pre-installed Windows CE. Windows CE wont run the Wubi so I can't install ubuntu on it either. How can I bypass these incoviences and get Debian up and running.

Nov 29, 2010i am trying to change the boot order on the GRUB menu so that the countdown automatically starts on an older kernel. From what i can see all the solutions on the web want me to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. The problem is that i don't have one. Someone also mentioned that if i don't have a menu.lst file then i should look for the grub.conf file. I don't have on of those either. The closest thing in /boot/grub is grub.cfg but that looks nothing like the descriptions i have heard of /boot/grub/menu.lst file
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Hard Drives Not Bootable - BIOS CMOS?
Jan 20, 2010I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my desktop a month ago before I left my apartment for winter break. It worked beautifully for the week I used it, but now the computer won't boot. I'm using the ubuntu live cd right now to type this. I can't install it over my last hdd because apparently both of my hdds aren't bootable. I unplugged the computer for the month I was gone and the BIOS date reset to 2004. I'm not sure if that affected anything, whether I need to replace the CMOS battery? The computer was built in 2004 so I'm thinking the battery might be old. Basically the computer functions on the live cd, just won't boot from either hdd.

Feb 12, 2011I am having a problem getting my Slackware 13.0 to accept a timezone cmos setting change. My cmos was set to local time and my Slackware was displaying the correct time as EST. Cmos was set localtime to be compatible with dual booting Windows I have now removed Windows and replace it with Ubuntu. Now, Ubuntu wants the hardware clock to be UTC, which is the norm for unicis. SO, lets make Slackware treat the hardware clock as UTC.
I go to /etc/hardwareclock make these changes.
utc
#localtime
I reboot setting cmos to UTC, but now when I come up Slackware displays UTC and calls it EST. I go to the date/time app under the system xfce menu, but all it says it is set to UTC (EST) and change from the list below. The list below only has UTC listed. So, now how do I get it subtract the necessary five hours?
