I'm trying to install F17 on a new HP box with UEFI. My disk layout is
/boot/efi 256M EFI System Partition
2M BIOS Boot
/ 32G EXT4
/sl6 32G EXT4
/home 183G EXT4
On my first install the installer didn't demand a BIOS boot partition, after install it booted to a blank GRUB command line. On the next install it demanded a BIOS Boot partition.
I've tried xcompmgr -c & and other variables and none work, and as far as nitrogen, it uses files on the home partition. I have gpt partitioned disk sda1 grub-bios 2mb partition, sda2 15g root partition as ext4, sda3 5gb (ish) swap partition and sda4 300gb home partition as ext4. as far as i know, root and home mount on startup, i've never had any trouble accessing files
I have a 1TB SATA hard disk from my old desktop, and the entire thing is an ext4 /home partition (/, /boot, and swap were all on another hdd). It is now in a USB2 enclosure and I want to use it to back up my current laptop /home.
To do this I need to shrink the /home partition on the 1TB backup drive.
I had set my PC like this:
/boot - 250 MB ext3
/ 80 GB ext4, Kubuntu
Now I needed to install Ubuntu so I made a new 8 GB partition as / and formatted the previous /boot partition and set that same partition as new /boot for this new installation.
The thing is that now my Kubuntu partition is like just a /home partition and a few other system folders but without a /boot and grub sees only the
I recently switched from Windows to Lubuntu as my sole OS.
My filesystem now has a NTFS partition with all my data (which I now would like to convert to EXT4), a EXT4 partition with Lubuntu on it and a swap partition.
I have a full backup of the data, so wiping the NTFS partition is not the problem. But I want to be sure that, after wiping/converting it I can still boot Lubuntu just as before.
I am having little problem here.:( I partitioned my sdcard with cwm with 1gb ext4 partition and 256mb of swap partition. it said done succesfully.but when i crosschecked in minitool partition wizard it showd partition as ext3. now when link2sd asks me which partition it is then what should i do. i want to use as ext4 bcz i read that it is the best among ext2 3 4 (tell me if its not).
I went to upgrade to Fedora 17 just a few hours ago and went with the following partition setup:
SSD:
A small swap partition
A ext4 partition for root
IDE HDD:
An ext4 partition for /home
Installed worked fine, went to reboot, and the computer froze at the bios.
I have an existing Windows 7 GPT installation, which already has a EFI System partition.
I am now trying to install a Linux on a separate harddisk, which is also GPT formatted. I did not find any working way to get grub booting without EFI system partition, so my question is:
Is it possible for grub2 to use the same EFI System partition as windows?
The root partition of my 12.10 Kubuntu distro is full and I don't really understand why, since fileflight shows that 72% of the disk space usage of my root partition is being used by the "home/"My account name"" folder, wich should be in a different partition.
I have a Kubuntu distro 12.10 , installed along with Windows 7 dual boot.
