No one has any ideas or suggestions?
Hey all; it's me again--back with the same problem. Here's the story: About a month back, my updater tried to install a new, ext4 distro onto a partition that was formatted for ext3. Needless to...
Here is what hppened: I downloaded and extracted Boot Info Script onto a thumb drive. I then booted the computer with the live CD, and mounted both the thumb drive and the Linux partition. I then...
Unfortunately, I don't have a live CD, newer than v7. Since getting that one, all upgrades and updates have been handled by the package manager.
One possibility, could I have gotten a corrupted...
No, I have no 64-bit stuff. Only 32-bit i386. Could it be because I am using two different versions of Ubuntu? The live CD is an old v7.
Any suggestions?
Here is a copy of my terminal screen:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo -i
root@ubuntu:~# mount -t proc proc /media/disk/proc
root@ubuntu:~# mount -t sysfs sys /media/disk/sys
root@ubuntu:~# mount -o...
OK, I got the mount commands working. The Properties dialog box defined the mount point as simply "/media/disk"--no need for the long uuid.
However, when I got to the "chroot" command, I got...
OK, I booted up with an old live CD.
I got as far as typing "mount -t proc proc /*partition*/proc"
And, the response was "/*partition*/proc does not exist"
Hey All,
Yesterday, I tried to upgrade to v10.04 ("Lucid"). After nearly 15 hours of painfully slow downloading and installing, my computer froze, just as the upgrade was almost complete. ...
Hey All,
I am pulling my hair out over this one. I ordered a new Sapphire HD 3650 graphics card. The first one I got was completely dead (no signal to monitor). So, I RMA'd it, and got a...
Well, so much of choosing a monitor, particularly LCD, is subjective. I have gone over the specs, and read the reviews. But, I still can't tell if I would like any particular monitor. Best I could...
I am looking for some advice on a new, 19" LCD monitor for photo editing. No question, I need good color, good contrast, and a generous viewing angle, at a good price.
Unfortunately, none of the...
Just one other thing. I read that, on this mobo, a newer SATA drive (with NCQ) can sometimes conflict with the nVidia GeForce video card. That may also have been the problem. I could solve that by...
Hey, thanks for all your time and effort. But really, it looks like the drive is dead. No sense going through a lot of trouble to recover a few trivial things. Anything of importance has been...
No luck. The result was:
mke2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
Could not stat /dev/sda1 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
Well, the version on the live CD is rather old (7.04), and it did not have "partimage" in its Synaptic database. I tried updating the database. But, I got an error saying that the version was too...
OK, runing "fsck" produced:
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda1
The superblock could not be read or...
When using the live CD, the drive IS listed in the "Places" menu. But, when I click on it, I get an error saying that Linux cannot mount the drive. Yet, even then, it still remains listed in...
Yes, same as other command.
P.S. Yet, the BIOS always recognizes the HDD, without a problem.
Actually, the command:
find /boot/grub/stage1
yields: "no such file or directory".
It was when I tried the "Alternate/Install CD" procedure described in Section 6 of the recovery...
No luck. I tried doing the rescue routine. But, when it came time to read the partition, it said that it could not mount the drive. So, I next tried to get a read-out using the command above. The...
OK, runnig "blkid" under "sudo" worked; it is a root command. Here is the output:
/dev/sda1: UUID="5c8a8649-187a-415e-97f8-43ffdb617ff9" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda5:...
No further replies? Does that mean that it's toast?
