Ubuntu :: Increase Root Partition Installed Inside Vista?

Nov 17, 2010

I searched the forum but could not get the desired result.PROBLEM- I am using ubuntu 10.10 installed inside Windows Vista. Now with every start up ubuntu gives a low space warning. I alloted 10 GB inside windows while installing ubuntu using wubi. Now it says only 34 MB space is free. Is it possible to increase the root size inside windows. My both OS are on C drive and it has about 15 GB free. I would like to allocate & GB to ubuntu.

General :: Resizing Ubuntu Root Partition Installed In "Install Inside Win" Mode

Jul 5, 2010

I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop i386 using "Install inside Windows" option. In the installation i dedicated 3GB for the root parition. Now i have a Windows 7 and a Ubuntu.

Currently, I need more space for the Ubuntu root parition (just 50MB freespace remained!). I realized the it is a simple 3GB file in the Windows and root parition is virtually in that file.

So it should be possible to increase the size of the root parition. But i cannot find any way for this.

I do not want to reinstall the my Ubuntu or add another partition. Is there any painless way to just increase the size of root parition?

OpenSUSE Install :: How To Increase The Root Partition Size

Aug 24, 2010

I would like to increase the size of my root partition on OpenSuse 11.3. Currently, I have 11.3 installed on a dual boot laptop with Windows 7. My partitions look as follows:-

Code:

ash@linux-up5o:~> df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 5.7G 3.8G 1.7G 70% /
devtmpfs 1.4G 260K 1.4G 1% /dev

[code]....

As can be observed above, I have used almost 70% of the available partition space with only 1.7 GB remaining. I have plans to install Microsoft Office 2007 on Wine and I know that 1.7 GB is not enough for the installation. I don't mind reducing the size of my Windows partitions in order to increase the size of the root.

Ubuntu :: Current Root Partition Isn't Enough - Vista

Jan 26, 2010

I currently have a partition dedicated to Vista and a partition for Ubuntu, only I haven't used Vista in as long as I can remember and have no intention of doing so any time soon. I want to format vista, merging it into Ubuntu. However, I have also created a partition for Root and Home, 11gb and 76gb, thinking back I should have just put Ubuntu altogether on one partition, I intend on installing more software in the future an it appears my current root partition isn't enough. Other than starting from scratch and losing everything, I can't think of how I can tidy everything up, I don't want to be restricted in how much software I can install, but as long as Root is in a separate partition it looks like I'm stuck.

Software :: Best Tool To Resize NTFS Partition With XP Installed On Vista?

Jan 19, 2010

What's the best tool or method to resize an NTFS partition containing Windows XP Home but with some evidence of being installed using Windows Vista? (Possible answer: Windows 7...) I bought a Fizzbook Spin, UK version of Intel Classmate PC with touchscreen. Disk is about 55 GB; I want to resize system partition C to about 17 gigabytes and then maintain it using something like partimage on live CD/DVD/USB for complete backup of volume: 15 gigabytes roughly compresses to one DVD, 2 gigabytes for hibernation memory storage which I won't back up (and can't move off C), pagefile on the next volume (probably 4000 MB on FAT32, an affordable commitment of disk space to buy not worrying about the page file size). Plus, I will be able to store the backup of volume C on volume D.

The machine can boot Linux (Knoppix 6.2) from external DVD drive, from a USB flash memory key, and from SD[?HC] card. I don't have a separate Windows install CD or recovery partition, but there's an Intel tool to generate a recovery, um, stick. There's evidence that XP's partition was created by Vista, as follows: 1 MB unused before the system partition; an error message about "correcting errors in the uppercase file" which apparently means "Vista did something on this disk that XP thinks is wrong, but this is not serious" - and several attempts to resize the volume with GParted have left Windows unbootable, blue-screening for a split-second and then rebooting. Apparently that's a Vista experience, and it would've been really bad if I hadn't taken a backup already.

I'm pretty sure that in at least one attempt, I remembered and successfully turned OFF the default-on "Round to cylinder" option in GParted... or is that WRONG? Standard Vista/Parted/resize advice (before 2010) such as [URL] seems to be "Use GParted, then use the Windows Vista installation CD to make your ruined hard disk partition properly bootable again." Since I don't have a Vista installation CD to use or legally borrow for this computer - unless I buy Vista or Windows 7 (which I'm considering anyway, for speech recognition) - I appear to be stuck. I do have more than one other XP computer, in case I can use something from there to exorcise the Vista-ness. But I want to keep the extra software (and device drivers) supplied with this little computer.

General :: Running Ubuntu 10.04 Inside VMware Player - Windows Vista - Can't Connect To The Internet

Jun 10, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 inside VMware Player running under Windows Vista and I can't connect to the internet or the host computer from the Ubuntu.

I have set all the VMware services to manual (like VMware DHCP Service), but starting them manually doesn't help.

In VMware, the network seems to work (there is a green dot beside the network icon) and I have tried both Bridged and NAT settings.

ifconfig doesn't show the eth1 interface, unless I give it as a parameter (or use -a). I think this means that Ubuntu thinks that the network isn't connected at all.

Software :: Convert Primary Partition To Logical (ie Move It Inside The Extended Partition)?

Nov 29, 2010

Around 2008 i seem to remember PartEd on the command-line was able to rescue deleted partitions and gave a choice of whether to recover the partition as a Primary or Logical Partition. I have tried testdisk but didn't really grok what i was doing. I successfully moved a "Windows Recovery" partition to the end of my hard-drive, immediately after the drive's Extended Partition.

Ubuntu Installation :: Os_prober Calls The Vista Partition The Windows Recovery Partition

Feb 20, 2011

Two days ago I repartitioned my laptop HD and added the latest Ubuntu (2.6.35-25-generic) to the existing Vista and existing Ubuntu (2.6.32-28-generic via upgrades from 9.14(?)). Prior to this install it was using Grub with menu.lst from the old/upgrade Ubuntu. After the install the boot menu labels the partition with Vista as the Windows Recovery partition and the recovery partition item is no longer present.

At first I wondered how I could get Vista to boot. I found that SuperGrub cd would boot it OK. Then, it dawned on me that the boot menu item was not the recovery partition, but instead the Vista OS partition mislabelled . Vista loads just fine from it. The recovery partition is no longer listed as it was with Grub/menu.lst. SuperGrub will not boot the recovery partition, showing an error "missing BOOTMGR".

'os-prober' produces--
root@Toshiba:/home/deh# os-prober
/dev/sda2:Windows Recovery Environment (loader):Windows:chain
/dev/sda7:Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (10.04):Ubuntu:linux

[code]...

I edited boot/grub/grub.cfg so the boot menu item is labelled correctly, but suspect that it will revert back when there is an upgrade.

Ubuntu :: Possible To Run XP Partition From Inside 10.10?

Apr 3, 2011

I have my HDD in 3 partitions. 1 has Ubuntu 10.10, the 2nd has XP Pro, and the 3rd is a generic FAT 32 for all my music, photos, docs, etc. I was wondering if it was possible to run my XP Pro partition from within my Ubuntu partition so I am not constantly booting to and from XP to perform JUST a quick simple task. I installed Virtual Box OSE from the software center but it looks like it only runs .ISO images.

Ubuntu :: Can't Increase Partition Size

Oct 11, 2010

I have 4 primary partitions on my hard drive. One of these partitions has been divided into 3 logical partitions with some free space left over. The order is this: "swap", "/", "/home", and about 80GB of unallocated space. I want to incorporate that unallocated space into the home partition. I tried this by booting a live CD and starting GParted but it didn't give me the option to increase the size of my home partition or the primary partition as a whole. The only thing it would let me do is decrease the size of my home partition.

General :: Run Command As Root Inside Script?

Sep 4, 2009

I am running a shell script using a non root user. Somewhere down in the script, I'll have to call some script to be executed as su (or a user with more privileges than the one running the original script). So if i put a line in the script as:

Code:

su - root -c /root/roleScripts/assignRoles.sh

Then when running the command, it will prompt me for root password(because the current user has lower privileges than the user requested. Suppose I want to pass this password as an argument to the original script, so that it doesn't prompt me for password later on, what is the way? Can I switch user passing the password and run a command?

Tried installing using update-manager -d and received notification that my root does not have adequate space. Removed most of what I can and I am still short 560 mb or so.

Ubuntu :: Gparted Won't Increase Partition Size

Aug 2, 2011

I have booted up in a Gparted system disk. I'm trying to use Gparted to resize my current linux partition. It sits on a one HDD with another Windows partition.I have delete the windows partition (626GB) and now want to resize my linux partition to use all this unallocated space. When trying to resize the linux partition (293GB) I am not able to do so. No space is shown to be available to use. I can only make the partition smaller. Can anyone think of why I won't be able to increase my linux partition to use this now unallocated space?

Ubuntu Servers :: Increase Partition Size On 11.04?

Sep 1, 2011

I have a server setup running VirtualBox and several Windows guests. I'm running the box headless and start the windows machines using

Code:

sudo vboxheadless -s "WinXP Pro SP3"&

via SSH session from my MacBookPro in terminal. I then connect to the Virtual Machines running MS Remote Desktop from the MacBookPro. All of this works perfectly except that I've run out of space on my partition for Virtual Machines and need to create a few more. I have plenty of room on the HDD but when first installing Ubuntu Server I only partitioned and formated about 1/4 of the drive. Is it possible to run a command in my SSH session at the command line to partition the unused portion of the HDD, format it, and expand my current partition into that space? Or, do I have to use something like gpartedlive, boot from the CD and do the partitioning?
