I Would Like To Dual Boot With Nitroid
OK have got my phone where I want it - have installed all the speed enhancers after updating to PR 1.3 and am overclocking at 1150Ghz. It fairly zips along now
I have read how to install using the Auto Installer but am a little confused. Could someone answer these questions please: -
1. Will using the Auto Installer itself, allow you to dual boot automatically or must you install a spearate dual boot prog of some sort first?
2. If the Auto Installer does allow dual boot with your existing Maemo 5 OS, will it automatically place it on the separate SD Card? (mine is a 16Gb one). I also assume it will completely reformat the SD Card, is that correct? I am reluctant to proceed if it wipes the existing OS first etc.
3. I am confused with the options for Overclocking. I understand you can continue to Overclock Maemo 5 but can you Overclock Nitroid, once installed? If sow how?
4. I gather that overclocking defaults back to 650 either on reboot or on receiving an incoming call - is that correct or has it been fixed? And do these limitations apply when in Nitroid?
I would appreciate someone who has successfully ported this OS to their N900 and is dual-booting, to explain the current procedures and answer my questions - pointing me to the relevant resources as appropriate. Any tips too would be appreciated, given we now have PR 1.3.
Thanks in anticipation of your help and advices

As you guessed, I used the 0.0.7 "Installer" because the version 0.0.8 refused to partition my SDHC Card - version 0.0.7 worked
However because it is an "Installer", I assumed it would install the most up to date version of Nitdroid on my phone. I am confused because I don't know which version I have.
At the moment Nitdroid is working ok, I have the correct multiboot and power boot kenels installed and can overclock in Mawmo as before - the multibooting giving me 3 options here to boot into Maemo without oc, to boot into Maemo with oc and to boot into Nitdroid.
HOWEVER I simply cannot connect to my WiFi - it authenticates then disconnects, it tries again several times before giving up and leaving me disconnected
I did have the Aipplane Mode problem but after tinkering around, I am free from this now and it is deactivated and the mobile network symbol shows up as "active". I have not set up an APN yet - not sure I have to as yet given that you cannot make (and receive?) voice calls but for the life of me, I have tried everything to connect my WiFi but am failing miserably
Ok this is the plan and maybe you can help please? : -
1. Find out what version of Nitdroid I have installed right now. I am aware that WiFi was activated from version 0.0.8 so if my Nitdroid is older than this then maybe this is my problem? Are the Installer versions and Nitdroid versions one and the same thing? FYI I can activate Bluetooth as these options are not greyed out - this tells me that perhaps I have the most recent version installed, unless this was activated from version 7?
2. Assuming that I have an older version of Nitdroid installed - I need step by step instructions as to how to UNINSTALL my current version of Nitdroid whilst leaving the Power and Multibooting options as they are and WITHOUT destroying the current SDHC Card's partitioning.
3. Finally I need to know exactly how to INSTALL the most recent version of Nitdroid
I am so near yet so far with Nitdroid and all the problems I have experienced have been sorted resulting in a massive learning curve and leaving me with the impression that my N900 is such a cool piece of kit.
Now if only I could go to the "Market".........
I have registered on the Nitdroid Forums but prefer to stay here for now as they are baffling me with science in terms of the lingo they speak lol! You guys make things sound straight forward
TIA

I have created a new partition on the Mac HD for Lion as I would like to dual boot. Do I need to install Snow Leopard on that partition before installing Lion? If so, can I use one of my Time Machine backups to do this?
zoominnana wrote:
Can I set up 2 different time capsule backups? one for the lion partition and one for the snow leopard partition?
No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD. Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things. See #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details. -
[SOLVED] Dual boot with ubuntu w/o installing GRUB? (YES)
Hi all -
This is my first shot at arch, tho I've installed a few other linux distros.
So far I really appreciate the excellent documentation, especially compared to other linuxes!
But I can't find a good answer to this question:
I already have ubuntu installed and would like to dual-boot with arch. (I also have Win7 but boot it from a separate disk selected via BIOS, and usually leave this disk disconnected anyway, so it's not an issue; grub doesn't know it exists).
Q: Before installing, can I make a new LOGICAL ext4 partition (say /dev/sda7),
- then install arch on that **w/o installing grub** and **without messing with the MBR**,
- then edit ubuntu's existing menu.lst to add arch to the boot options?
Current $ fdisk -l
/dev/sda1 ext4 primary/boot (/ for ubuntu)
/dev/sda2 extended
--/dev/sda6 linux-swap
--/dev/sda5 NTFS (data - mp3s, etc)
unallocated 480GB --> Create new ext4 partition /dev/sda7, (logical or primary? Prefer logical)
Current menu.lst entry that I normally boot:
title Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, kernel 3.2.0-24-generic REGULAR
uuid UUIDforSDA1 (file has actual UUID number...)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic root=UUID=UUIDforSDA1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic
and add something like this to menu.lst:
title Arch Linux
uuid UUIDforSDA7
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda7/ARCH ro (??? - from example in arch docs)
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
or
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=UUIDforSDA7 ro (??? - like the ubuntu entry)
I'd really like to NOT mess up booting ubuntu! (Another option might be install arch to a separate disk with the ubuntu disk disconnected, then copy the whole install over via a USB adapter...I've done worse!)
TIA for any help!
Edit: so I guess there's three questions:
1 - Can I install arch w/o installing grub & MBR messing-wth?
2 - What's the correct syntax for menu.lst to access and boot arch?
3 - Will this work?
Last edited by Flemur (2012-05-25 15:24:18)Well, it worked and booted up first time - no grub install.
The main hassle was merely creating a new ext4 partitions because "Partition Wizard" boot CD screwed up and I kept getting "Unable to update kernel until reboot" messages until I deleted and rebuilt all the partitions in the extended partition with puppy linux & gparted instead of Partition Wizard.
In case others stumble upon this trhread, here's some info:
The entry in the ubuntu (original) menu.lst was this:
title Arch Linux
uuid af7...etc...9f3c
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=af7...etc.f3c ro
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
I'm even posting this from arch/fluxbox/Firefox, although getting X set up with nvidia (PITA!) apparently required using a different pacman source:
File "mirrorlist" now points to
Server = http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
which wasn't in the original file.
Then
$ pacman -Su --> "/etc/mtab exists" --> delete it and something else broke,
so
$ pacman -Su --force --> worked fine (against official advice)
Also: needed to install nvidia-utils and xorg-xinit
Thanks again! -
I Mini with an i7 processor. I would like to use Boot Camp to install windows based CAD software on my MAC. Would it be better to use a plugin external hard drive to load my software on and if so what hard drive would you recommend?
Thank you for your quick response. I can then use a ZIP drive for data storage. I want to keep as much of my hard drive free of data as possible.

Before buying my IMAC G5 I used win xp and suse 9.2. My question is can I do this with my Imac g5. I was getting very comfortable with linux and would like to keep up with it as I have friends that use this particular os. I would install it on an external hard drive that is usb 2.0 60 gig
Suse Linux appears to have PowerPC G5 support. Whether dual-boot support is there, I don't know, but here is the page to learn more about the PPC release:

[SOLVED] RTC and dual booting with Windows 8/8.1
I am planning ahead of installing Arch on a windows 8.1 laptop, and need to understand whether or not the known Windows registry hack to get windows to use UTC for the RTC is still valid for Windows 8/8.1? I have been searching via google and the usual sources of information, but it is not clear to me if there are problems doing this, specifically if arch is dual booted with Windows 8/8.1 rather than older versions of the MS OS. Certainly I have used the technique without any problem in the past when dual booting Windows XP with Arch on several different machines.
Does anyone have personal experience with doing this on a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine and can report here on whether it works successfully or not?
Thanks for any advice.
Last edited by mcloaked (2014-02-11 21:16:21)Since there were no replies at this point I thought I would just go ahead and implement the registry hack on the Windows 8.1 O/S in the laptop and see if Windows behaves. It appears to be OK, with the displayed time being correct after reboot, and time synchronisation remaining fine with no problems seen in the displayed time, although I won't be able to read the RTC directly until I have completed the Arch install in the coming week or two. I now don't foresee any issues with the time synchronisation between booting Arch and Windows 8.1 so I will mark this as solved.
Since the RTC is now in UTC then normal clock config in Arch using chrony should perform normally once the install is done and the new system set up.

Dual boot with Ubuntu 13.0 using bootable USB problem (Y410P)
Hi I recently bought Lenovo Y410P and have been since trying for hours to dual boot with Ubuntu but I was unsuccessful.
I formatted by USB drive in FAT format, and created a bootable usb using Pendrive. Then I changed the Boot Mode to Legacy Support and the boot order so it boots from the flash storage first.
Then it hung on a purple screen like this: http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png
and the keyboard doesn't work and I couldn't go any further from here.
So I tried to use a different program called Unetbootin, and the problem got worse and it just stopped working at the option screen where you select whether to just try Ubuntu or install it, etc.
I read it somewhere the recent version of Unetbootin doesn't work, so I got the 474 version of it, and finally I was able to select from the option menu and it didn't hang. However when I clicked on Install Ubuntu, it just stopped there for a while, and then the boot failed and moved onto Windows 8 again.
I looked at the USB drive, and I realized the folder and some config files are names isolinux instead of syslinux, so I changed them, and now I'm getting the "SYSLINUX 3.86 2010..." words on the black screen and it hangs there.
I saw a similar message before using Pendrive and it was like "SYSLINUX 4.10 2012...". That was because the flash drive wasn't formatted in FAT (it was FAT32). So I re-checked the drive, but it is indeed formatted in FAT so I'm not sure why now I'm getting a similar message.
It will be much appreciated if you could give me some suggestions as to how to solve this problem.
ThanksSomething else you could try. Not sure it will make any difference.
Skip the boot creation tools and just boot the thing in UEFI mode.
Use the latest (12.10 or later will work, IIRC) 64-bit Ubuntu ISO. Format your flash drive as a single FAT32 partition. Extract the contents of the ISO to the flash drive. Use 7zip for Windows, or your favorite Linux de-archiving tool. That's it.
[edit] I don't believe the partition needs to be set active, but haven't tested that.
Set BIOS boot mode to UEFI. Even secure boot mode should work withe a new enough Ubuntu - but isn't necessary.
Give that a try. If it still barfs at the same place, mess around with the start-up graphics options.

(Grub) Dual booting with XP on sdb
My goal is to be able to dual boot with two hard drives: Arch on sda and Windows XP on sdb. With help in the #archlinux IRC I've managed to get Windows XP to boot by getting the menu.lst correct but when I click "Start Windows Normally", or "Start in Safe Mode", etc. etc. the computer just reboots. A cellphone picture of that all well known Windows black Screen: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nrczq86vsi6o9 … 6%20AM.jpg
My fdisk -l and /boot/grub/menu.lst:
http://pastebin.com/sLUUsCcU
To see if my xp hard drive was still intact I did this:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media && ls /media/
and saw this:
boot.ini NTDETECT.COM pagefile.sys System Volume Information
Documents and Settings ntldr Program Files WINDOWS
nano /media/boot.ini
[Boot Loader]
Timeout=30
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
I've consulted all the wiki's and forum posts I could find but at this point, I'm just stuck. Somehow I think the final result is me reinstalling both OSs and starting again from scratch.
Any help or advice on getting a fully functional Windows XP on /dev/sdb would be greatly appreciatedPres,
Thanks for the post. If I click "Last Known Configuration" the computer just reboots and I'm back where I started. Yeah, my Arch is working fine. My thought process behind re-installing Arch was that maybe the installation process would deal with the Grub config of /dev/sda and /dev/sdb automatically somehow and make everything OK... -
Dual-booting with other Linuxes; shared data partition
I've got two entirely-blank 320GB hard drives on my computer, and I'd like to dual-boot Arch and Debian on it (and potentially others later). How should I set up GRUB (or GRUB2-- the wiki says that it's a better option when dual booting with other distros) for each OS in order to have both of them able to boot, as well as retaining the capability of adding other distros? (Assuming that Arch's GRUB(2), not Debian's, will be installed to the MBR.)
In addition, I'd like to keep my config files and data separate (with a shared data partition on HD 2).
- What is the best way to set this up separately from the /home partition, i.e. mount /data on startup and be able to access it quickly from a filemanager or the commandline? I venture a guess that I'd edit /etc/fstab and add a symlink to /data within /home/USERNAME...
- What is the right size for the /home partition in this setup?
A tentative partition scheme is as follows (note that I have 4GB RAM, since that factors into swap size):
HD 1
4GB shared swap partition
256MB ext3 Arch /boot partition
20GB ext4 Arch / partition
? ext4 Arch /home partition *see note above*
256MB ext3 Debian /boot partition
20GB ext4 Debian / partition
? ext4 Debian /home partition *see note above*
(free space)
HD 2
320GB shared ext4 data partition
Last edited by DrKillPatient (2012-06-20 18:38:01)Most of it is a matter of opinion I think, but since I have a similar setup I'll throw in my two cents.

I use GRUB (legacy). Adding a distro in the grub menu is just a matter of finding the kernel and initram image of the distro and adding an entry. OS's generally either have a fixed location/name for the kernel and image or have a fixed link, so there are no problems on updates. I really don't like GRUB 2 and don't see the point of using it unless you are using something exotic that GRUB doesn't support.

I just mount the data partition in /mnt/data and make symlinks from my home partition. In my case the data partition is ntfs, since I also use windows. My home partition contains 1.2 GB, of which 600 MB source code. So if you only keep configs in them it probably won't reach 1 GB.

In my opinion a seperate boot partition is only useful for the OS of which the bootloader is installed to the MBR. -
Not quite sure where this should be posted, so I figured I'd post here. I came upon a rather large hard drive and I was thinking about dual booting with OS X. I meet the system requirements, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to integrate. I did some searching on the forums here, and on google, but I wasn't able to find much. I guess my main questions are:
1) Can GRUB load OS X from an external USB hard drive?
2) Is it possible to mount ext3 partitions from OS X?
3) Is there any common pitfalls I should be aware of before starting this?
Any help I can be given would be greatly appreciated!
David1: Probably. OSX refusing to boot from the drive without grub even being considered is more likely than grub not doing its job. It wouldn't boot on my sata, for instance, but doing it from an internal ide worked fine [including Grub2], and I've seen examples of it working on legacy grub.
2: Yes. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. … opic=34227
3: Not really, assuming you're using a real mac instead of a "hackintosh", but that doesn't seem to be so from your post [I would expect someone to say it the other way around, "I want want to dual boot -Arch-", if theyre using a mac machine]. I'm not sure what kinds of things about this topic would be shaky ground on the forums, so I'll try to keep from saying anything troublesome.. I will remove it if necessary, but I don't expect that to be the case. If you're using a "hackintosh", expect hardware problems (it can be a serious hassle and hack-job installing and getting everything to work) and highly probable legal issues (even if you own OSX). On a side note, I personally think OSX is the most boring, user-limiting OS in existence.. However, on the positive side, it pretty much does what it says it does if you're using the real deal, and does it well.

After upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1, on first run after every reboot, the following warning appears for every installed Add-on.
"Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on"
So, i have to "Enable" my installed Add-ons on each reboot.
Would you please help me !
P.S.: I found that these files (and some others) will be deleted on each reboot, and it happens on computer start up (not at shut down)!
extensions.ini
extensions.sqlite
extensions.sqlite-journal
And as i mentioned, i have the same anti virus on my laptop and desktop, but i have not any problem on laptop.Do you have security software that acts like a sandbox or uses virtualization to restore files on a next boot?
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available. -
How can I convert my music, and CDs to MP3, for use in my vehicle's AM/FM/ Stereo? I have a 16 GB SDHC Card, that I would like to load up with some of my music.
Thanks for any help you can furnish.
EdWell, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
Just go to iTunes Preferences. Click on the General icon. Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD. Click on Import Settings. Set Import to MP3 decoder. Make sure you're using Good Quality.
This should deal with your CD's.
With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version. -

I am using the latest Firefox (28.0) on Windows XP in a shared computer environment. Although I do not have Administrator access, I installed Firefox myself and can change whatever Firefox config settings I want (including about:config and mucking with the files in the installation directory).
I want to disable the tab that appears on Firefox startup, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on". This tab usually appears once per day (the first time I startup Firefox each day). I want the tab not to appear at all, from now on.
The "another program" in question is some program that is used in the facility where I'm using the computer, so I can't just uninstall that program. Although this is a shared computer environment, they don't "wipe" the machine every day, just reboot. So the Firefox I installed is still there with all my config settings intact. As far as I know, I'm the only person who uses Firefox on this computer.
Solutions that don't work:
"Just click Continue" -- but then I still see the "Another program" tab every day, and don't want to see it.
"Click Remove in the Add-ons list" -- I removed the Add-on in question but the tab still appears every day.
I would like a solution that either eliminates the Add-on request for that particular application, or eliminates all such requests ("Another program...") regardless of what application requested it. The ideal solution would be if the request itself had a checkbox for "never ask this again" but, alas, no such luck.Gosh... I spent about an hour preparing a response, then accidentally did control-something or alt-something which took me back a page and I lost everything I typed (even after I clicked Forward to try to get back to where I was). If anyone knows of a config setting like "don't ever trash an entire page of user input unless the user explicitly confirms it", or, "keep form input data even if the user goes Back or Forward", I think that would be a great feature.
OK, back to the original question...
I appreciate the responses thus far, but I think there have been some misunderstandings. Maybe a multiple-choice version would help:
Question: Is there a way to suppress the appearance of the notification tab that says, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" (meaning, any request from another program to install an add-on is to be silently ignored and discarded)?
Answer:
(A) Yes, you can suppress that notification (please state how).
(B) No, but you can request that feature (please state where).
(C) No, you can't do that or request that feature.
That's basically my question in a nutshell. If the answer is (B), I might envision a boolean about:config setting like "extensions.allowProgrammaticAddonRequests" that defaults to "true" and can be set to "false" manually. I think that would be the most direct solution (if it were possible).
I will respond to some comments from above:
"I don't understand why you are using a mozilla.cfg file to lock those preferences when you can modify the preferences for your current Firefox profile via about:config" -- This is because the "other program" in question (iCafe Manager) was setting certain config options (browser.startup.homepage, and browser.newtab.url) on every reboot (which happens every morning at that facility). I got tired of manually changing the settings back every day. Using the above-mentioned files, I successfully defeated iCafe Manager's daily interference with those config settings. The other things (like stuff related to Socks tunnelling) I probably could have just set once in about:config but doing a lockPref seemed to do no harm. The settings for "enabledScopes" and "xpinstall" were to see if they'd help with the problem I originally asked about, but they did not.
"I would look in about:config to make sure those preference modifications are in effect" -- yes, I confirmed that the settings are in effect and locked. That much works as expected.
"A) removing the iCafe Toolbar extension from the Firefox Addons -> Extensions panel results in the "Another program" tab at startup" -- true, but I think it would be more accurate to say: while the toolbar extension is not installed (due to either having been removed, or, never having been installed at all), the "Another program" tab appears on at least the first startup of Firefox after every reboot.
"B) when you allow the installation it shows up as "(disabled)" in the Extensions list but the unwanted toolbar still shows up (correct?)" -- yes, correct.
"You could explain the problem to the system administrator of your facility" -- unfortunately, there's no administrator on site, only a person who makes sure the lights are on. They'll call a tech if there's a catastrophic problem (like the net connection goes dead). Since I installed Firefox myself, and since iCafe Manager is a program they installed, I don't think they'll go out of their way to help me with Firefox (especially if I'm trying to defeat iCafe Manager's attempts to interfere with Firefox). From their point of view, their systems are working just fine.
"allow the installation and then see if you can go to the Firefox Customize menu and HIDE the toolbar as a workaround" -- since I'm not in that facility now (and probably won't be again until this summer or so), I can't experiment with those systems now. But I do recall clicking just about everything I could, including "View - Toolbars" (which seems to be the same menu as when I right-click on a toolbar line). That menu allows hiding toolbars, but from my recollection, the offending toolbar was not displayed in the list, so I could not hide it that way. Also, the Customize menu ("View - Toolbars - Customize") seems to allow only modifications to a toolbar, and not a way to hide an entire toolbar.
"it might help if you could post a new troubleshooting information list after you allow the iCafe Toolbar installation" -- ok, that troubleshooting report is included below.
Thanks again for your help.

I cannot get extensions to run or enable, nor does the browser remember my preference.
For example, after I install or Enable an extension, when I restart Firefox I get a tab for every extension that forces me to check "Allow this installation" after the prompt "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on".
Moreover, when I click 'Options' on an installed extension, Firefox freezes permanently.
Note that I DO NOT have any extensions.* files in my Profile folder, nor do they appear.
I am trying to get MozRepl running. I am able to install it, but the menu option does not get added in the 'Tools' menu. Moreover none of the installed extensions are able to add to the menu.
I've tried every solution in the following links

I have made the Profiles\ folder and all subfolders Read-only, including the files.
I have tried the "Reset Firefox to its default state".
I have tried uninstalling (including removing all profiles/data) and re-installing Firefox, and I get the same issues.
My operating system is Windows 7 and I have McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus and McAfee VirusScan Enterprise + AntiSpyware Enterprise.Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
