Escaping from Ubuntu

Good day everyone. As I cannot find a previous thread on this subject here goes.
I ran Ubuntu from a bootable disk and then found I could not get back into OS X.
I tried all the startup options and never got to see the startup disk option I.E. press 'option' on startup should show me all the bootable disks but it didn't, just a black screen with 'insert boot disk and press any key' I tried pressing D and X at startup but it made no difference.
I eventually started from the Apple instal disk 1 + C key
Anyone else had similar experience?
Bert

Further thoughts.
I have just tried to boot from my external HD, LaCie 250G, using 'option' and start. it booted up into onboard HD without giving me the choice of anything else. I can start from the LaCie by using the system prefs route. I am using the 'Apple/squiggle' key as 'option'. That is correct I hope?

  • What is the best client for ARD from ubuntu linux?

    I attempt to connect to my mac mini running osx 10.7 from ubuntu linux using the default vncviewer application and the tightvnc client and I get to the login display but am unable to click on any of the users nor log in.  I was successful from my windows7 laptop, but not from my windows xp HTPC--ultravnc gets to the login prompt, showed me the password field, but didn't allow me to change focus to that field, however, this isn't reproducable since I get a different behavior each time I try to remote in.

    Back up all data. Update all third-party software to the latest version and remove any you don't need. Download the Yosemite installer from the App Store. Run it.

    nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

    It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

  • Unable to mount ext4 filesystem (created from Ubuntu) in Solaris 11

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to mount an ext4 filesystem which I created from Ubuntu. But mount command fails saying:
    prakhar@Solaris:~$ sudo mount /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 /mnt
    Password:
    mount: /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 is not this fstype
    And I also tried this:
    prakhar@Solaris:~$ fstyp /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1
    unknown_fstyp (cannot open device)
    Can anybody tell me how can I mount a ext4 filesystem in Solaris 11?

    Thanks @Nik for your fast reply, but still its not solving my problem.
    I don't want any out of the box support.
    What I want is to access my ext4 filesystem.
    Any open source package will do.

  • OS X problems when restarting from Ubuntu

    Let's start first speaking about my configuration.
    I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 mid 2009 with 2 HDs: 1 is SSD (250gb), the other HD (1TB).
    SSD: 1 single partition with OSX Maverick.
    HD: 1 partition for data, 1 for ubuntu, 1 Linux swap, 1 bootcamp with Windows 8.
    In both there are the hidden partitions for EFI and Recovery.
    The problem:
    Some problems came out when I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS natively on my HD.
    I configured Refind (see Refit), resized the data partition on the HD, installed ubuntu and I've built an hybrid MBR through gdisk to bypass the limit of max. 4 partitions (considering that I already have bootcamp).
    When I want to switch from Ubuntu to Mavericks, I click restart and thanks to Refind I boot directly into OSX Mavericks.
    At this point 2 strange things are going to happen under OS X until I completely restart my macbook.
    Some of them are:
    - The system time is not correct. My timezone (UTC +2) goes to UTC.
    - The trackpad click (not the tap) sometimes does not work. If I connect/disconnect or disconnect/connect my magic mouse, the click starts working again for a small amount of time.
    - It happened one time that the login keychan got corrupted and I had to fully restore it.
    I decided to write here since I didn't found similar problems over the internet. Do you have any suggestions?

    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select  
    View ▹ Show Log List   from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • Blocking Access from Ubuntu 9.04 Virtual Machine

    Hi Everyone
    We have blocked access on Perimeter Routers for Some specific ports like telnet , SSH etc
    and as per access policy users are granted access within the organisation for Servers at Data Centre based on there IP addresses
    If some body installs Ubuntu 9.04 Virtual Machine and then invokes virtual XP some how  the user gets 10 series IP and still manages to access the servers
    How can i block the same
    While checking for IP Accounting on Router there are no traces on the Vitual IP but server login details shows the IP address from whcih accessed with source IP as 10.x.x.x

There is an opensource solution to connect without installing database on the client machine ?You certainly dont need a full database install on the ubuntu client, client components only are required.
    Because your target is a downrev oracle database version you might need to use client compoents like linux 9i to be successful :- [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/linuxsoft.html]. The more modern 'instantclient' [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html], [http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html] does not appear available at this verion. Its possilble this version might have issues when installing this version on ubuntu 9.04 ... i simply don't know and too hard for me to look up.
    I personally am unaware of any thin client driver technology that would help you here, that isnt to saythere isnt one.
    This si not an area i am now current in, i merely really wish to say you do not need a full database install.

  • Way to import ACPI settings from Ubuntu?

    Is there a configuration file i can just copy and paste from my Ubuntu install that has all the ACPI functions for such things as extra media keys?
    Last edited by TheLedFloyd (2007-09-21 04:47:14)

    I really don't know, but I'm petty sure the settings are in /etc/acpi/, so you might try just copying that folder from Ubuntu into your Arch install, then restart.

  • How do I migrate bookmarks and passwords from Ubuntu to OS X.

    My Ubuntu computer still boots but its hard disk may be dying. I want to migrate my profile settings from Ubuntu to OS X on my Mac. I copied my Ubuntu profile folder onto a thumb drive. Everything seemed to copy fine except for one symbolic link. I tried to copy the contents over the contents of the Apple Mac's profile folder, but it seems to have had no effect.

    When you run Firefox on your Mac, a Firefox profile folder is created with default data and settings. You have to remove the '''contents''' of the new Firefox profile folder on your Mac (e.g., the bookmarkbackups folder, places.sqlite , cookies.sqlite, etc.) and then copy over the '''contents''' of your old Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to the Mac profile folder. You should do this selectively, just copying important files (like places.sqlite for bookmarks and browsing history). [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] lists important files and explains how to transfer the data to the new profile on your Mac. [[Backing up your information]] explains where the old profile data is stored and how to save a copy.

  • Escape from "Recovery Mode"

    One more time - after nearly completing the upgrade to os 4.2, iTunes announces it can't finish and is leaving me in "Recovery Mode." I can't find any instructions on how to get out. It would be great to save the data, but I would settle for a "restore." I just don't know how to get there. Of course, Device Manager now shows "Apple Mobile Device (recovery mode)" and iTunes can't find it - again! Help please.

    thank you for thoses informations, but i can't switch on my phone. I only got the black screen and the itunes icon which means "please connect to itunes".
    So i tried to connect to Itunes and i got a message to explain me all my files will be deleted after the recovery. Do you know how to escape from recovery mode while phone's switched off? Thanks, Helo003, France

  • Extensions installed from Ubuntu vanish (shared profile with Windows)

    My system dual-boots between Ubuntu and Windows. I've set up a shared profile between the two operating systems. Everything works fine for normal browsing.
    When I add an extension from Windows, everything works fine -- the extension is visible from Windows and Ubuntu.
    The problem: When I add an extension from Ubuntu and restart Firefox the extension is not installed. The extension is not in the list of installed extensions.
    I presume there's something wrong with some value in the profile, any ideas what is incorrect?

    I just tried an experiment, and I can uninstall from Linux. I installed a new extension from Windows, and then successfully removed it from Linux.
