Help and support for Ultimate Edition 2.5


Reinstall help...partition space 0mb Won't Boot - FIXED**

Postby kmw » Mon Jan 04, 2010 6:31 pm

I copied a ton of files from a usb drive and my 2nd primary partition filled up my Ultimate Edition 2.5 installation. It would boot into grub and then go all the way to the login screen. When I tried to login it would try and then tell me that the keymap caused some other program to error. Then it would bring me back to the login screen and I'd do it over and over and bring me back to the login screen.

I've gone in and moved the primary 4gig swap partition from the 3rd partition to the 4th partition and I extended the the 2nd partition with the Ultimate Edition 2.5 from 80gig (0.0gig free) to 110gig (30gig free).

Now when I boot up I select Ultimate Edition from grub and it get's stuck after a little while on the splash screen. Since I've only let it sit there for 15mins or so once, I'll remove the liveDVD that i booted with to get online and try to boot into the system a couple more times to see if it fixes itself or not.

Re: Reinstall system from liveCD ran out of partition space

Postby kmw » Mon Jan 04, 2010 6:46 pm

I'm using the i386 version of the UE2.5 which worked great until I over stuffed the partition and it errored out the keymap setting and not it just hangs on the splash 2.4 screen. The 64bit version of the older Ultimate Edition didn't boot on my computer, maybe because of the video card.
Can anyone confirm that the 64 bit Ultimate Edition 2.5 will work on my system?

But using the i386 is not my main issue I just want to get my current install booted, again.

kmw,
The 64 bit version of Ultimate Edition works like a charm! ;) I have used the 64 bit version since Ultimate Edition 1.7, I believe, with excelent results. If your system specs, as given in your 1st post, are correct then Ultimate Edition 2.5X64 should boot and work fine. I find it to be much faster that the 32 bit version on the same hardware (see my sig below for my specs).
FYI - you must be sure that the downloaded .ISO file for whichever version you decide to use has the correct MD5SUM. This verifies that the download has been 100% successful, and the downloaded file is not corrupted. You must also burn that file to DVD at the slowest speed possible on your burner - preferably at or below 4X.
These two steps are absolutely essential to insure a good download of the .ISO file, and the burn speed avoids any burn errors - burning at higher speeds is a sure way to make some "coasters" instead of a usable DVD.
As far as the ATI Radeon graphics card is concerned, I do not use ATI in Linux/Ubuntu/Ultimate Edition because there is better support for the nVidia cards. However, there are many users here who do use the ATI cards (including TheeMahn, the creator of Ultimate Edition). You can search these forums, the Ubuntu forums, or even Google for information on the ATI drivers for Linux.

my problem is that I've been running Ultimate Edition 2.5 on my laptop for weeks and it will not boot since i ran out of space on the root partition. So I'm looking for a way to rescue my current UE2.5 installation. I love Ultimate Edition...it it works great. I realize that i'm using the i386 but that's a whole other issue. The i386 installed without a hitch several weeks ago and even though my computer has an AMD 64 processor I've had problems getting 64bit versions of debian and suse OS to work. So since I've had a problem with booting the 64bit verions a couple versions ago I have not tried the 64bit of the UE2.5.

My problem, right this moment, is that my previously working UE2.5 will not boot. it stops at the splash screen after selecting it in grub. I need to know if there's a way (which I figure there is) to just re-install the system files like they do in mepis.

please see what happened that has caused my UE2.5 to not boot anymore by reading my initial post that created this thread.

my specifications are if you need something more than the following please let me know:
dual boot UE2.5 and Vista
toshiba Satelite A215-S5829
AMD/Athlon 64X2Dual-Core Processor TK-57
4gig Ram
500gig HD w/
1st Partition NTFS 60gig w/ vista

3rd Partition 320gig ext3 -storage
4th Partition 4gig swap

thanks for the info. I'll start a download of the 64bit version but I'd still like to know about getting my current system booted. Then i'll back make sure I have all my data and try booting with the 64bit version. When I see it boots then I'll be ready to re-install the 64bit version. I was told that there's something funky about the specific ATI Radeon card...something about it's an early version of the latest chipset with the best of some legacy features. I figure the newer version 2.5 of the software may work.

I have a ATI Radeon x1650 (actually 2 of them) 512MB each, my personal opinion of ATI is junk for what you pay when compared to a NVidia. You may have a hard time believing this I can from the live disk use compiz etc. Without even installing any driver. AMD (ATI) has 0 support for my video chipset in nix (another reason I do not care for ATI). While this may seem like all bad news for me, quite the contrary. Linux open source "R300" is my "ATI" driver makes everything a reality and do not have to look to ATI anymore; built in to Ultimate Edition 2.5. It will be a nice world when all cards are natively supported through open source.

I can not tell you how it will be for you. There are Nvidia based open source drivers, but currently has 0 3d support.

I wish you luck in your journey with Ultimate Edition ;)

Wow! thank you so much for telling me what's doin with you ATI card drive situation. Well my problem is fixed. As it turned out I was on the right path of creating more space on the UE2.5 partition since that's what stopped it from booting in the first place. But a friend of mine decided to move my swap partition from the 3rd partition to the 4th partition so it messed up the fstab partition path. So, as soon as I did a ls -l /etc/dev/by-uuid (i think it was) to locate the long uuid number so I could copy and paste it into the fstab and then the second time I booted it after that it came on up. I'm happy and it's just in time for a 10am meeting i have tomorrow.

thank you all for commenting on my problem...It's really good to know that you are their when I need help.

cheers! and long live the Ultimate Edition! who know's what to expect with what I hear about the way Ubuntu is going. I have never been able to use Ubuntu and those folks that load the kubuntu I just can't see what they like about it...maybe they are just kde folks. The first ubuntu i was able to use was the edubuntu I'm glad to see that they are back to their own dvd, now. When they went to a separate alternative edubuntu cd added onto the ubuntu main, I stopped using it. Next and I currently still use the ArtistX 0.7 LiveDVD and the CAELinux LiveDVD but the UE2.5 is my fav, for now. It just works. One thing that the UE2.5 does that none of the others even my mepis does is it get's my video right enough so now I can use projectors again. I love seeing it up on the big screen.
