Ubuntu :: Hibernate For A Brief Trip To Windows And Return?

Nov 22, 2010

First of all, I searched the forums but I couldn't find anything- I don't want to be the poster who posts something that's been solved 14 times already Anyway, primary question first and then "why" below- I was wondering if there was a quick way to hibernate Ubuntu to Swap -> boot to Windows 7 and work -> Hibernate Windows 7 -> boot to Ubuntu and work, repeat until Windows glitches

I have, new Acer Aspire:
i3 370M
4GB RAM
640GB HDD as follows, from inside to outside:
X GB 3 Primary Windows partitions, 125 GB unnallocated, 50GB /home, 6 GB .boot, 4 GB SWAP

Ok, why would I want to do that? I ask because while Ubuntu boots fast at just under 1 minute at the end of my hard drive (90Mbps, I had it install from "end" when I partitioned the boot file), Windows boots slowly at about 2.5 minutes on the inside of my drive (23sh Mbps). To be able to switch between them would be useful for iTunes, ProEngineer, Matlab, and other stuff that is Windows based. Windows boots much faster from hibernation. I love Ubuntu, the speed and simplicity and the actual FRIENDLY atmosphere (what a concept WINDOWS) But I find myself needing to do some quick editing in Windows, then I can go back to my business on Ubuntu. Is there some kind of selective boot managing like GRUB that I can bring up after telling one to hibernate? Because once on SWAP, it should hold relatively indefinitely until I return, right??

Any ideas??? It sounds like some clever Terminal coding could manage the Linux side of the booting, but Windows might have to be tricked into a selective boot..

I would like to disable the login screen when the computer returns from suspension and hibernation, so that it will automatically log me back in. I am using Ubuntu 9.10.When I come back from suspension, for some reason, my key board does not work in the login screen and I cannot type my password.

Ubuntu :: Installed After Windows7 - Can't Return To Windows 7

Oct 16, 2010

I have a Asus EEE PC 1005HA netbook, which I use with Windows 7. I've been abroad for the last 2 weeks, and when I came back I found out my younger brother has installed Ubuntu on it.

When I asked him he told me it's no problem, and he didn't overwrite Windows, just installed on another partition.

However, I'm trying to get back to my original operating system and I have no idea how. Obviously, he has none either as he is just an impulsive 15 year old.

I'd like to either uninstall ubuntu and return to my windows OS, or just choose at boot time which OS I want to access (I don't really mind having a linux onboard, I assume it has it's merits).

General :: Copy Remote Files On Nfs Without Round-trip?

Sep 20, 2011

I have a large amout of data (several GB) on a remote drive, that is transparently mounted via nfs. I'd like to copy these files into a subdirectory of where they are already residing, so everything stays on the same physical disk. For that reason, I would like to prevent an unnecessary round trip over the network.

It seems that cp files* subdir does the naive thing and reads all the data into memory and then writes it back. Is that true? Is there a special command that does the actual copying entirely on the server the disk is physically connected to?

Ubuntu Installation :: Hibernate In Windows 7 But Not In 10.10

Feb 26, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 in my pc and for the last week I've been trying to enable hibernation in Windows 7. I have read more than 100 threads (and followed their instructions) with no result.
My configuration is:

hda: Windows 7
hdc: Ubuntu 10.10 (GRUB)

The BIOS is set to boot from hdc. When I select windows from GRUB, windows start up, but when I choose "hibernate" they just pop up the log in screen. However, when I set BIOS to boot from hda windows start (without GRUB) and DO hibernate when I choose to. BUT, when I switch on the pc (immediately after a successful windows hibernation) I get "Resuming Windows" regardless what disk I choose to boot from (using BIOS)!

I do not get the GRUB screen but I don't get the chance to launch the BBS popup either (I see the message but there is no response when I press F8 ). It seems like the system always boots from hda after a successful windows hibernation and there is nothing I can do to change this! On the other hand, Ubuntu always hibernates normally... I'm willing to post any information needed answers are not like "Repair Windows" or "Reinstall Ubuntu" because I want to solve the problem but find out its cause as well.

Ubuntu :: Bash Script - Removing Windows Return Characters

Sep 1, 2010

I've got a basic script, which parses data from a text file and performs actions based on that data. Here is my code:

Code:
dsrc="/home/russellm/sites/"
ddst="/home/russellm/othersites/"
while read SiteID
do
if [[ ! -d "$ddst${SiteID:0:1}" ]]
then
mkdir "$ddst${SiteID:0:1}"
fi
mv "$dsrc${SiteID:0:1}/${SiteID%*}" "$ddst${SiteID:0:1}/" | tr -d '
' done < sites.txt

The text file came from a windows system, and contains those return characters (). I 'could' just run the whole thing through tr and then run the script on the new data file, but I'm looking for a more elegant solution. As the code above shows, I'm trying to pipe the mv command though tr in order to remove the return character - but it's not working. I can't get this to work with sed either, so I know I'm doing something wrong. I also tried to remove it using ${SiteID%} - but that also failed. The characters don't show up in an echo, just when executing a command.

Output example (emphasis mine):
Code:
mv: cannot stat `/home/russellm/sites/B/B23467324
': No such file or directory
I'm tempted to just convert the file once and call it a day, but you know what it's like. To be honest, I'm starting to suspect that there are no return characters, and that I'm going about this wrong.

Ubuntu :: Pulling Out Of Hibernate Boots Into Windows

Aug 4, 2010

I've recently swapped from Windows 7 to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and I haven't looked back - except for the fact that moving from Photoshop to GIMP is difficult. I digress.

Suspend works nicely (what a blessing ) but Hibernate doesn't.

Ubuntu 10.04 is installed on a 500GB Seagate External hard drive plugged into a USB port on my motherboard. My BIOS is set to boot off of it automatically (boot order). Windows 7 is installed on my 160GB () internal drive.

The problem is not when I put it into Hibernate, it's when I pull it out of hibernate. When I do my computer tries to unhibernate into Windows!

My hardware ($300 laptop from Walmart haha) - click here for more info on HP's site if you want

Model: Compaq Presario CQ60-419-wm
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8200M G
Processor: AMD Sempron () 2.1 GhZ
RAM: 3GB
OS it was shipped with: Vista Basic ()

Ubuntu :: No Bios Or Boot Selections After Windows Hibernate?

Apr 12, 2010

I had a dual boot umbutu 9.04 & xp Toshiba laptop satellite A15-S1292, (old bad battery). I use it mostly in linux but had been working in Windows, it may have hibernated and the next boot may have been to Linux. Now it boots straight into Ubuntu login screen that looks like it is may be returning from hibernate (don't use it normally). On boot don't see the normal BIOS announcement or screen allowing the selection of boot device. Doesn't boot Live CD from CD Rom or Suber Grub CD. When I examined the Windows mount receive warning that it could not be mounted as it was hibernated. I followed the suggested mount -t -ntfs -3g -o remove_hyberfile /dev/sda1 and can now access the windows partition. Boots still return to the same linux login screen. Don't seem to be able to boot from anything else.

Ubuntu Networking :: Unable To Turn Wifi On After Windows Hibernate

Sep 1, 2011

I own an Acer Aspire 5552g. I have installed 2 systems on it: Windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine except wifi. There is a lot of threads connected to this topic, but none has solved my problem yet. The problem occurs when I hibernate Windows and then load ubuntu - I get unable to turn wifi on. As rfkill says - it is hard blocked. It wouldn't be a problem if i had a hard switch for wifi. but I only have fn+F3 for that, which somehow fails to work in my situation.

Code:

igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:~$ rfkill list
1: phy1: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

If I reboot Windows and then start ubuntu - everything's fine and working. fn+F3 turns wifi on and off as expected. I will provide some more info: when wifi's working:

Code:

igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1$ cat state

1 when it doesn't:

Code:

igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1$ cat state

2 some additional info:

Code:

General :: Windows - Hibernate: Restart Instead Of Shutting Down

Jul 24, 2011

I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows and sometimes I just want to switch between the partitions without loosing the state of the OS I was currently working with. Currently to do that I just hibernate that OS and, when the computer turns off, I restart it and select the correct partition.

I do not really want to have to press the on button again every time I want to switch between partitions. I figure that there must be a way to make the hibernate action restart instead of shutting down.

How do I make the hibernate action restart instead of shutting down on:

Windows, or Ubuntu

P.S. It is more important to me that I can do this in Ubuntu than Windows (because of the way I use the partitions) therefore if one answer says the Ubuntu way and the other says the Windows way then I will mark the Ubuntu one as the answer and give the Windows one an upvote and a big thankyou.

Ubuntu :: Suspend Or Hibernate / Computer Refuses To Go Into Hibernate Or Suspend?

Mar 16, 2010

Just got Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm liking it a lot, but my computer refuses to go into hibernate or suspend. I have a Dell M1530 but I don't really think it's a dell hardware issue because it's not just when I close the screen, it's also when I click suspend or hibernate from the menu.

General :: "hibernate A Process" Under Windows?

May 25, 2011

Just like e.g. people can press Ctrl+P when running a VirtualBox guest, it can pause the guest, after pressing again Ctrl+P it will continue right there where it was stopped. Are there any command line commands on Windows/Linux where I can do the same with a process? (the process is e.g.: Firefox, etc.)

Ubuntu :: CTRL-ALT-F7 Fails To Return To X11?

Aug 13, 2010

This is a problem which has been plaguing me ever since the upgrade from Karmic to Lucid.

I used to be able to log into any one of the seven TTYs.

CTRL-ALT F1-six all work fine. Problem is if I log into one I can't get back to the GUI.

Immediately after the upgrade, I was told by some people that this was deprecated along with startx and I should use sudo gdm service start instead.

This doesn't work for me If I have to open a terminal when a nasty game freezes and I have to kill it from a terminal.

Ubuntu Installation :: Uninstall 11.04 & Return To 10.04?

I dual boot with XP, My upgrade to 11.04 has been two weeks of FUBAR. I want the 10.04 LTS again. With the 10.04 disk in, I get to the point of "Prepare Disk Space"; it shows XP-pro 81Gb and Ubuntu 11.04 75Gb. There I must choose side-by-side, Use Entire Disk, or Specify partitions Manually. My Question/Problem> The new 11.04 kernel seems so incompatible with my system that I wonder if I need to delete or reformat. Am I likely to have success if I just tell it to do side-by-side.
