May 24, 2011had a lvm (non luks i suspect) home partition on my 11.04 install. I've since install opensue on the same laptop hoping that if i don't leave that partition alone during opensuse installation i would be able to mount and enter my key to access the data within...stupid me.... i formated my /boot and / partition, not my /home partition of 450gb. I'm now back on ubuntu 11.04 trying to get access to my data. i'v found the command "encryptfs-recover-private" but i only works on mounted partitons, i can't mount my encrypted partition because the system does not recongnize it. I've have to format it to mount it.

Jan 5, 2010What I am concerned about is if my files would still be accessible after a clean reformat and reinstall of Ubuntu on my system. Would Ubuntu(Karmic) recognise this fresh install as a new system and open a new account on Ubuntu One, rendering my previous files as lost?
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Restoring USB Wired Interface ?
Jun 18, 2010I've been working on a koala system, trying to set it up as a wireless AP with a pair of wired interfaces. The hardware itself is a small Nvidia ION platform with a built-in NIC and a bunch of USB ports, so I decided to set it up with a single wired USB NIC and a wireless USB NIC. For wired, I settled on a TrendNet TU2-ET100. Initially, this NIC worked perfectly on with no hackery required, plugged in and off it went, assigned as eth1 on the system.
For wireless, I've tried a couple of different units, both of which required use of the compat-wireless drivers to get recognized. I'm still having problems with that, but I'll deal with that later. In building and installing the compat-wireless drivers, it appears to have messed up the included drivers for my TrendNet USB NIC. Now when I boot the box, it comes up with the following error:
And from there, the NIC won't show up any longer - no eth1 visible in ifconfig -a. Clearly, some alternate driver (usbnet?) from compat-wireless has messed up the asix driver from being able to start up. Any ideas on how to get that restored?
Ubuntu Installation :: Restoring Old Evolution Files?
Jul 2, 2010In an attempt to restore my ubuntu 9.04 desktop to its original settings, I entered the following in Terminal: rm - rf .gconf. gconfd .gnome .gnome2 .terminacity
and then reset.
The new desktop is cleaner, but now Evolution Setup Assistant wants me to reinstall. I don't think I have an archive file, so should I use the Assistant to install? Will I lose my mail, calendar and tasks if I do?
What if I just install version 9.1? Will it install using my old evolution files?
Ubuntu Installation :: Restoring MBR After Windows 7 Install?
Jul 23, 2010I hope this is the right sub-forum for a question like this. It seemed like the best match from what I could find, but my issue stems from installing Windows 7 after I already had Ubuntu installed. I don't know what details are important, so I'll be as thorough as I can. I was running Ubuntu 9.10 on a machine with two SATA hard drives. I was only using one since Ubuntu kept complaining that the second drive was having some issues. The drive with Ubuntu had only two partitions, one tiny one for the swap and the rest of the hard drive was the second partition.
I needed to install Windows for my work, and since I was not very familiar with the whole partition thing (which is the reason why the hard drive was basically one huge partition) I decided to follow this guide: [URL]... I backed up my important data, I used a live CD to create a new partition for windows, I backed up my MBR using the command given, and installed Windows 7. Everything went pretty smoothly. Now, whenever I boot up I don't get a choice of what OS to boot, it just goes straight to Windows, as expected.
I used the same live CD to restore the MBR using the command given on the guide, but I get this error:
dd: opening `/media/sda/mbr.bin': No such file or directory

Ubuntu :: Restoring Login Screen To Default?
Jul 26, 2010Recently I tried to change my login screen with plymouth in the terminal, i got to the part that shows all of the different login screens you can have, so I clicked the one I wanted. When I tried to log back in, the theme was basically the same as the default, but it made me click log in, enter my username, click accept again, then enter the password. So I was wondering how I could make it the default login screen where it's all on one screen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Restoring Partition Mount Authorization?
Jul 27, 2010Normally when you have a partition that isn't mounted, when you try to mount it, it asks you for the root password.
I have two partitions. One that I wanted mounted at boot, one that I wanted you to have to know the root password to mount. In the process of trying to setup that one partition to automount at boot, I accidentally changed something (through Pysdm) that made it so the other partition no longer displays that root password verification screen. Now all it does is give me an error saying I have to be root. How can I restore that screen?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Restoring The Original Wireless?
Sep 11, 2010In an attempt to better my wireless signal, I decided to abandon the "out of the box" wireless set-up in favor of ndiswrapper and the windows drivers that came with my wmp54g card. Lo and behold, my signal didn't get better, but dropped another 15-20 percent. I'm lucky to see a connection of 55 now, compared to the 70-77 percent I got with the Ubuntu drivers. I thought... No problem. I'll just un-install the Windows driver. Upon doing so though there's no wireless option at all. Where did the old set-up go? Is there a way to get it back?

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Restoring Windows 7 Bootloader With WUBI?
Oct 14, 2010I have a netbook dual-booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu Netbook Edition via Wubi. Ubuntu crashed on me while I was recording a screencast and I rebooted to find the Windows bootloader no longer works. It simply gives me an error ("cannot load bootfont") for a split second and restarts immediately. I'm able to access the grub menu with a bootable USB drive and access the Wubi partition, but I can't boot Windows, including the Windows recovery partition. I can still boot Ubunutu.
My question is: is there a way to restore the Windows bootloader in Ubuntu? If not, how can I replace it with a grub bootloader and keep my Wubi boot options intact?
Ubuntu Installation :: Restoring W7 Boot Loader
Nov 17, 2010I've spent the better part of two days googling and trying out fixes. I've done quite a bit but still have the same issue.I want Ubuntu to be my secondary operating system. As such I'd like Ubuntu to be on the W7 bootloader, not W7 on Grub. This is, mainly, so that I can press power and not sit at the computer to manually select W7.I've tried EasyBCD, many times, but when I select both Grub (legacy) and Grub 2, add it, overwrite the MBR, and reboot, it wipes out the bootloader entirely, and Windows 7 boots up.

Ubuntu :: Restoring Default Monitor Settings
Feb 4, 2011I have a relative who made the mistake of changing the resolution of her display to something that her monitor does not support. The monitor no longer displays anything.If she connects another monitor to the computer, the monitor will work properly. If she boots off the live CD, her current monitor works properly. If she swaps out her graphics card with another with the current monitor, there is no display.Apparently, there is a remembered setting for the resolution of her particular monitor. Is there a way that it can be reset back to the default?

Mar 10, 2011Here is the scenario:
I have triple boot
Win 7 32 bit on hard drive 1
Win 7 64 bit on hard drive 2
Data partition accessible by 3 OSs
Ubuntu 10.10 on hard drive 2
[Code]...
Everything is working great. I'm using Windows Boot Loader (used easybcd to attach Ubuntu).
I want to expand /dev/sdb3 to have more space for Ubuntu. I am able to shrink the data partition /dev/sdb2, which leaves an unallocated space. I have backed up /dev/sdb3 using Paragon software.
My question is, what is the best way to expand the /sdb3 partition into the unallocated space and restore the ubuntu image backup so that it will use up all the space (unallocated and current /sdb3)? I don't want to screw up since everything is working properly, I just want some more space.
Ubuntu :: Restoring EEE PC After Install. F9 Doesn't Work?
Apr 1, 2011I have a 904HA that I am taking to Argentina for my mother to use and video chat with me. It occurred to me though that since I am a total linux newbie, it would be hell for me to setup a PPPOE account as they limit their DSL usage. Last time I was there they used proprietary windows only software. So having said that,need to restore my EEEPC to windows.Unfortunately in the process of installing linux I broke the restore?I didn't delete the restore partition but now when I hit f9 or f10 etc, it doesn't bring up the restore partition.I remember I had a similar problem before and I solved it but I don't remember how.
View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Restoring Minimized Programs From The Memenu?
Jun 8, 2011Most of the times I open a program (either Evolution or Liferea) from the MeMenu, it appears shifted below. By this I mean that, even if the window is maximized, it does not reach the panel, leaving a strip where one can see behind. But, when one tries to click on anything, it behaves like if the window was in place.So, in order to click on some area, I have to aim some 50px or so above it. Of course this is not very comfortable. Stangely enough, this does no happen if I get the focus of Evolution or Liferea by some other means, such as Alt+Tab or clicking on the sidebar.

Ubuntu :: Running Into Trouble Removing - Restoring MBR
