Hi there,
my disk has three parts, but one of these can't be mounted. Is the main one, which used to be root. Quote:

Hi, znt,
would be nice to post 1. more details, like what OS / version is it (including kernel) 2. what [related] software is installed/used 3. the exact commands you executed. 4. did it work before? What did happen ? |
Pan64,
Ubuntu 13.04 is my current OS. I used to works on Debian 10, but it was crashed up. From an old LiveCd: 3.8.0-35-generic kernel right now. From Disks (settings->Disks) in Ubuntu I tried to mount the partition, receiving the message above. Once that, I ran Quote:
ps: Can't update my Ubuntu, the URL in sources.list is obselete I guess. Do you know the correct link, by the way? Thanks for replying. |
no, ubuntu 13.04 is not supported at all. It is discontinued long time ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu...aring_Ringtail)
Upgrading is probably possible, but you need to step one by one, 13.04 -> 14.04 -> ...... 22.04, more than 10 steps. I would rather try to reinstall the whole os in one (which is actually much faster). Just make a backup first. But probably you can just try a new live cd without installing anything. I think this problem is already solved long time ago, just you need to use a more recent kernel (and os). https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquesti...d_features_on/ |
Could you suggest a distro? i386
How is the right way to make a LiveUSB? The partition issue is related with kernel version? I tried to boot a ISO from grub, with loopback command. Quote:

To suggest a distribution you need to provide hardware details.
To make a bootable USB one of the best ways from Linux is to use the "dd" command. |
I've 3G RAM and two cores, in 2Ghz.
I tried dd command, but the copy doesn't is made right. Quote:

Your dd command looks okay. Keep in mind that you need sudo privileges and that the paths be correct.
As far as the hardware, based on the RAM, I recommend an XFCE desktop as it uses less RAM, with MX Linux being a good lightweight distribution, even though I think it is not suitable for beginners. Another one that is lightweight is Bodhi Linux. If it is a Core 2 Duo CPU you should be quite okay. For your original problem I am a bit lost. Did you actually try to mount a root partition through a different (or live USB) operating system? Otherwise I do not see why you should try and mount a root partition at /media. |

About the original problem: in fact, I'm trying to recover the partition, that was used to as root, but for now is just a chunk of umounted blocks. :) I thinks installing a OS using it, without formating it, could I review it someway, if all other methods were useless. Thanks for replying. |
A little more details as follows...
had established a system with the DebianEdu distribution, which crashed. My disk is divided into 3 parts, and one of them contains some files and materials that I don't want to lose. Through an ubuntu Live CD, I noticed that the partition in question was not mounted. I tried manually, without success. I installed ubuntu on the disk with the same orders (boot, root and swap in the relevant partitions) without formatting, but for whatever reason GRUB didn't load the kernel, leading me to the "GRUB rescue" prompt, in DOS apparently. I installed the system on a flash drive and now I can load it normally, but its use is compromised for obvious reasons. Actually, the intention was to set up the system to do the necessary searches to recover the partition that is not being mounted, but I can't load the web pages or install the packages. Ubuntu is old and it is not possible to update for some reason. I downloaded Kali because it was the only "channel" with which the connection could be established. I intend to install it on the disk (not on the pendrive), using the partition in question, without formatting it, in order to recover the files. How should I configure this installation?, please and, if it is not recommended, either for innocuity or any other reason, I wait for someone to say. In case there is (and of course there is) an "ideal" way to recover this partition and someone is willing to share the knowledge, I'm here for it. For reasons of practicality I thought of doing it in such a way. I use open-source: MuseScore to compose music, graphic software, IDEs... I develop applications, I know Apache and I program in PHP. I liked Debian I must say, he that introduce to MuseScore. Technically or apparently there was no reason for the system to crash. Once the material is recovered, I can format the disk and, free of the boot problem, install any other system. Please, I'm hoping for some advice or possibly support to resolve this issue. I don't use pentest or forensic programs, I just want to recover the files. Summarizing, i lay the issues .. To install kali, I need to boot it from USB (where my current OS is running) trhough the GRUB, with loopback command, or from another one, that's empty. I tried the first already, I might load the kernel and initrd right, but it breaks with the message Quote:
About the second, it's just a create a bootable disk question... Tried with 'dd' command, but the copy wasn't made wright. Can't find out the reason. There's a proper way to execute it? I tried more than one. Ubuntu offers a Sratup Disk Creator, a tiny GUI program to create the bootable, but this embbed a boot has noting to do with the iso file. Nevertheless, I hope for a way to recover the partition, which is manly reason. Below is the kernel log when i try to mount it out Quote:

I installed Ubuntu in the same disk, the only error came across was the mentined, that leads me to the grub rescue out. However, you throw a light.. How could I repair the partition? Quote:
Thanks. |
