Prior to the update my internal hd worked flawless. Now its a read-only disk and i can't change it by gui.
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

I have Ubuntu installed and I need to reinstall Window$ so that I can set up a dual boot.I cannot get my Hardrive to format, I think there is a way to format the drive in recovery but I do not remember the commands for command prompt.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently reinstalled Ubuntu. As the last operating system developed a problem (Xubuntu) and I lost all my files I decided this time to partition the drive so that anything important could be backed up to the other partition.The problem I have now is I cannot work out how to see the other 40Gb of the drive in order to copy the files over. Ubuntu shows 120ish gig for its portion which is as I set it up.

I'm trying to mount a USB hardrive from the terminal.
Using the following I can mount the hdd:
Code:
sudo mount -o rw,users /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbhd However if I try and change to /mnt/usbhd :
Code:
-bash: cd: /mnt/usbhd: Permission denied
(if I change to root I can view the contents)
If I add umask=000 I can view the contents, but I can't do anything to them:
Code:
sudo mount -o rw,users,umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbhd
Code:
mkdir: cannot create directory `misc': Read-only file system
I have tried changed the privileges of /mnt/usbhd, and I have tried adding an entry into /etc/fstab (and restarted), and I have tried using "user" rather than "users" but I get exactly the same results.
I don't have autofs or usbmount installed, which I read somewhere causes issues.
Code:
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/usbhd type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
I've run these commands on another machine and it works perfectly, so it isn't the drive...?!

During my Ubuntu install I screwed up Leopard 10.5 and don't have original install disk. I have downloaded 10.5 via a torrent via Ubuntu on my external hardrive and it is too large, my G5 doesn't support dual layer to burn install DVD. I thought I found a Ubuntu link that would help me install this OSX.dmg from my external firewire drive but i can't find it again.Anyone recognize this that could provide a link?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a spare duel core pc with 500GB HDD and 2GB memory so decided last night to do a full format and a complete install of ubuntu 10.10. My mission is to turn it into a web server. I have installed xampp for Linux and everything seems to be running smooth.
1) I used sudo apt-get install openssh-server and edited the sshd_config to change the port to 28. I have also opened the ports in my router but when i try to connect from another network pc i get connection refused.
2) I have a domain name I would like to assign to my server pc but don't know how to do it since "ifconfig" states 192.168.1.3 and my external IP from "whatsmyip.com" keeps changing.
I am having issues with sharing an external hard drive with other users on a computer. For example if I reboot and login with user A and then logout and login with user B, I am not able to mount the external hard drive. If I reboot and login with user B first, I can then access the external hard drive with user B but not user A. Is there a way that both users can use the drive without having to reboot every time?
I am assuming this is some sort of security issue. If I login with the second user and go to /mnt/external harddrive I get a permission error."You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "External Drive"." If I login with the first user and try to set the permission it doesn't give me the ability?
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 two days ago and was using my 1tb passport external HDD with it to download and store files. However today whenever i try and copy/cut and past to the HDD i get this error message..

i installed ubuntu using wubi and so far i have been impressed. I quickly filled up the small size i allocated for the ubuntu installation in wubi and now find myself in quite a predicament. I was thinking of performing a clean install of ubuntu and removing the existing windows installation. Rather than dual booting, i was using virtual box to run a windows xp machine so that i could use common windows applications. However, i was having some problems running some applications in the virtual box.
it was possible to install ubuntu and windows on the same hardrive with the ability to boot into either/or, but also be able to run the same windows installation inside a virtualization program in ubuntu? The majority of the windows programs worked fine in the virtual box, but some of the applications didnt. Is there any software out there that can do this?
I have a laptop with Win XP and Ubuntu installed as dual boot. Well something happened with the Ubuntu install and I need to reinstall but can't figure out how to do it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to increase the size of the Hard drive to 200GB when installing Ubuntu on top of Windows. The Reason I ask it that I have a Laptop with a 500GB Hard drive, which has windows installed on it Obviously I cannot create a new Partition on this drive to do a separate install. 30GB is just to small for what I want to do on Ubuntu, I know I can access the hard drive using /host/* but that is hassle that I do not want.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 with the GUI on a spare box I had. This is my first experience with Ubuntu. I have never used Linux before this. The system works great and logging on is no problem. However I installed 2 applications, gparted and samba. When I go to open either application I enter my logon password and I am told that the password is not correct. I am the only user on this machine and went to the accounts setting and changed my account type from custom to administrator to no avail.
I formatted my drive and reinstalled the whole thing again and got all available updates also. I reinstalled gparted and samba a second time on the new install and I still am told that the password is incorrect again when opening thes apps. Is there a simple, easy to understand way for this first time Ubuntu 10.10 user to correct this. There must be a minor flaw in this OS that is denying me use of my apps.
When I update my system by KpackageKit I have the ability to read what was fixed by that package update by clicking on package's name. How to read this info in command line by yum?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to be careful in case my system crashes, and although highly unlikely my first question is if there is a way to first compress my Linux Partitions. After running the diskutil command in OSX's Terminal, I basically end up with this poartition scheme:
Quote:
Macintosh HD = 130GB
disk0s3 = 1MB
disk0s4 = 30GB
Linux Swap = 1.3 GB
I am sure there is a way in the Terminal to first compress disk0s3, disk0s4, and Linux Swap, and then output the compressed partitions into my external Harddrive. I have already read some of the suggestions that only /HOME, /etc/fstab/, list of installed packages, /opt, and /var/cache/apt/archives/-where all installed packages are stored, is what I should backup. But, please correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't it take quite a while to install all those packages again in case of a system failure. Or would it just be easier to untar all of them in their directories once Linux has been reinstalled. The closest command I have found so far in being able to achieve this is:
Quote:
sudo tar cvf - files | (cd target_directory ; tar xpf -) The above code is very suitable for what I am looking for because it enables you to copy files into another location by using the tar command where you would create In my case the new location would be my external harddrive. My external harddrive already has its own Linux partition which I am able to mount in Linux and that Linux sees as free space.
I just recently moved somewhere and the internet is wirelessly provided by the whole condo building. It is just a free and open network but I am trying to find a way to hook up my Xbox 360 to the internet. I do not have a wireless adaptor or a spare router, what I do have is my ubuntu laptop. Is there a way I can hook my xbox up to my laptop and bridge the connections so that I can finally connect to xbox live via my laptop?
View 2 Replies View Relatedbeen trying to get a spare computer up and running with 10.10 server 64bit no dice so far, after hours of memchecks, disk checksums, re-burns and whatnot..install stops at 73% and does f. all.. tail log shows that it stops at updating sources, alt+f2 and ps aux shows apt-get update process running. if I kill this process, I can continue with the installation, but for this I need to repeat same process - killing all the apt instances that show up - so that it can complete the install. Unacceptable imho. computer is a AMD cpu based, athlon 2 435 on an ASUS M4A89TD PRO mainboard. ddr3 4gb crucial ram sticks. drives are functional S-ATA. No external GPU, so using IGP.
Tried installing without eth-cable plugged in, with it plugged in, with a usb install (that sorry excuse for an install was even worse, "please insert cd" midway) I know I can get the install going with desktop version.. But why would I want an xserver running on a headless computer. Kind of pissed atm, spent so many hours at this, figuring it just might be a faulty HW item. It isn't. using 10.10 desktop on my laptop and production pc - and been using 8.04 as main server, until now...

I would like to know if I can use spare partition to install new versions of Ubuntu ("use" as the CD drive, or USB stick; not as the destination of the installation).I have Ubuntu on my computer, and unused partitions on the hard disk. I would like to upgrade to ubuntu, but without needing to burn another cd or an (sufficiently) empty usb stick to do it.
I imagine that this is possible, as the partitions may be booted from, and the contents of the iso image are understandable by the installed Ubuntu. But I don't know how to do it - put the iso contents on a partition and boot from it to install a new Ubuntu.
I have a dell with win7 installed on two disks as raid0. I added a 3rd HD and installed 11.04 on to it. This boots ok but only Linux shows in the grub menu. Win7 is not there and I have no way to boot it as the installer put grub on disk0 of the raid overwriting the windows boot prog.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently installed ubuntu on an old dell. I have the OS installed on an 80GB HD and I have a 500GB drive in the computer as a storage drive. I can see the drive and read and write to it just fine. But before I can I have to mount it and provide my password. Is there a way to set it so that it's already mounted and ready when I start up the computer? The drive is formatted to FAT32 I'm using Ubuntu 9.10
