Cloning a hard drive using the Ubuntu live CD #4

Posted on January 31, 2011 by admin| 16 Comments

In this video I show you how to easily clone a hard drive. to do this you’ll need a live ubuntu CD and a second hard drive. This can be used to clone any hard drive with any OS installed in it. The command is: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 where sda is the hd you are copying from and sdb is the hd you’re copying to. so make sure you change those according to your setup. **You do this while booted into an Ubuntu live cd** **make sure to backup all important data before doing this as a precaution in case something goes wrong.**

I have a new kid at school and he uses PCLinuxOS. I told him that he should use ubuntu or linux mint etc… He is most definitly a noob to linux. I want to give him the right distro. He hasn’t installed any distro yet he just uses the live cd for PCLINUXOS. Should I give him Ubuntu or Linux mint. I think i should give him ubuntu because it has the software center. It is visually apealing and well its popular and user friendly. However I do know Linux Mint comes with all codecs pre installed. This person doesn’t even know what an exe file is until i explained it to him today. He is however all for Linux and thinks its cool. Also KDE or gnome?

Anyone with experience using a Linux distro with KDE 4?

Posted on July 28, 2010 by admin| 6 Comments

I’m looking to experiment with KDE, I’ve used Gnome distros up until this point. I’ve read multiple reviews and forum articles talking about KDE 4 still being unstable, but also have seen Pardus, Linux Mint 8 KDE, and Mandriva 2010 singled out as strong releases dealing with this issue. Any Linux users who could address the (supposed) KDE 4 instablitity issues/recommend a distro would be welcome. I’m looking to install this along side my main Mint 8 distro, not just play around with it as a Live CD experience, so any help narrowing the field without culling through 10-15 distros would be very helpful.

PS: My system is a modern one, with plenty of RAM and a 3.0 Ghz processor, so it’s more than enough to handle the resource demands of KDE 4.

How can I get to and edit xorg.conf and Sessions -> Startup Programs if Gnome won’t start in Debian Linux?

Posted on July 25, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I edited both to configure compiz, but I made a mistake…Now it says “no screens found” and that it’s “unable to connect to the X server” and goes to the kernel. I know what I did wrong, so how do I get to xorg.conf and Startup Programs from there to fix it? I’m using Debian Lenny…I have a Linux Mint Live CD if there’s any way to get to them from that.
