How to Install any Linux on a USB

There are so many reasons why having a Linux distribution on a USB drive can come in handy. From having a “rescue” OS on your keyring to being able to install a new distribution on your EeePC, a “thumb drive” Linux has many uses. But getting Linux onto a USB drive can’t be simple. Right? Wrong. There is a tool, UNetbootin, that makes installing Linux
on a USB drive simple.

UNetbootin can be used on either Linux or Windows. In this article, we’ll be illustrating it for Both.

Note: Not all USB installations will work on all machines. This can be an issue with your BIOS or your USB drive. If you install an OS that doesn’t work, try another. But after all that work, you might wind up with a machine that simply won’t boot from a USB drive. You have been warned.

Using UNetbootin with Linux

1. The first thing to do is download a copy of UNetbootin. For our purposes we’ll download the Linux universal install binary (named unetbootin-linux-299). Once that has finished you will need to issue the Following command in order to make the file executable.

chmod u+x unetbootin-linux29

2. Once the file is executable issue the following command (from the same directory unetbootin-linx-299 is stored) to see the application running.

su ./unetbootin-linux-299

3. But you’re not ready just yet. Depending upon your distribution, you might come across an error involving p7zip-full. This might be in your distribution’s repositories. If you use Mandriva you can install p7zip but you will not have the full package. If you use Ubuntu you can get p7zip-full with the following command

apt-get install p7zip-full

4. Before you run the application you will need to insert and mount your usb drive. Stick in your usb drive and then issue the following command to find out where your usb drive is located.

dmesg

5. Mount that and then issue the following command. When you issue the command you will see the UNetbootin window.

su ./unetbootin-linux-299

6. Once this window is up and running you are almost there. If you have very specific needs for your distribution you will most likely have an image file downloaded to use. If you do not you can select your distribution from the drop down list. First you select the distribution and then you select the version (or release). Note: Unless you have a very large USB drive you will most likely want to use a netinstall version of your distribution. If you do happen to have a large USB drive you can go ahead with a full distribution. If this usb drive is for rescue purposes, or just to have a version of Linux with you at all times, a distribution like PCLinuxOS Minime is a greate choice.

7. Once the process is done you will have two buttons to click, Reboot and Exit. Don’t bother with the Reboot button. Click the Exit button and UNetbootin will close. You can now unmount your drive and reboot your machine to see if the installation works.Note: When your machine boots you will need to make sure it first boots from the USB device.

Using UNebootin with Windows

1. Download UNetBootin for Windows.
2. Download your favorite Linux ISO (Don’t ask me from where just Google it).
3. Now Start the Unetbootin.
4. Click the Disk Image radio box and browse to select Linux ISO.
5. Now set your target USB drive and click OK to start the creation UNetbootin Live USB Creation from an ISO.
6. Once the UNetbootin installer has completed, click Reboot. Now UNetbootin installation is finished.
7. Set your system BIOS or boot menu to boot from the USB device and enjoy your favorite Live Linux on USB.

Increase Your Micro SD Memory Card (MMC) Space.

Micro SD

Your files in MMC are stored in multiple (disk) blocks. So if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K eventhough your file is just 1K. If you buy MMC, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore alot of space is wasted as most installed program files are usually less than 2K.

You will need a card reader to do this:-

1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the MMC to computer disk. (Make sure you set the show all/hidden/os files to "on")

2. Do a format of the MMC using command line "format" and use the /A=size option.

Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to format. Make sure you select FAT. For 256MB MMC, smallest block you can use is 4K, 128MB is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is 512B.

(Note: You cannot use the phone "format MMC" to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and does not change the block size)

3. Copy back all files to MMC.

Now you will find that you will have more space.
256mb MMC got back 30+ mbs

Top 7 Ways To Get Help And Solve Your Ubuntu Linux Problems !

If you are using windows, then you will surely find any urgent help you need but in Ubuntu or any other distribution of Linux, you will have to search a little but harder. I recommend you to use Ubuntu and if you might be a newbie, I am giving you some ways by which you can find help about your Linux installation. I am giving you 8 ways to get help to your problems and find an answer the easiest way you can. As usual, I will hope that you like the article and would love to share it to others :) enjoy !

Ubuntu Linux

1. Google
As any tech expert like me would say : “For every question of life, There is a Google page” ! Whenever I get any problem in my laptop, the first internet page I open is Google and there is no wonder about that as it is the easiest way to get a solution in no time. So whenever you find any problem, you should look into Google first.

2. Ububtu Guide
This user guide is actually a wikipedia page but it contains solutions to all the basic problems a newbie ubuntu user can face. It is a must read guide for a newbie user as it explains all the points from installing ubuntu to driver installation to installing your video and sound card as well.

3. IRC channels
If you have any quick question or you dont feel like registering on forum sites to ask your question, this service is for you. All you have to do is to install X-chat from ubuntu software center and then goto IRC channel which will connect you to Ubuntu servers and you can chat with the experts there. They will try their best to solve your problem in a quick session. Don’t forget to thank people who help you out there. They love it.

4. Ubuntu Forums
Ubuntu forums are also the quickest way to get help. Go through the topics already posted there and you may add your own question as well. But my advice will be to always follow Method No.1 as there might be chances that someone has already answered that question and you get it easily. You have to register to post your question as in every other forum site.

5. LGU – Linux User Groups
 A Linux user group is where people meet to discuss their views, solve problems and help people about various topics and problems. They have been a very active and important part of Linux support for a long time. You can find an LGU near you on Google. You might be having one in your university or your around your work place.

6. Wikipedia and Forums
 Again, this is also the part of topic No.1 which includes everything. If you don’t find any suitable answer than you should know how to use Google to get search results according to your need.

7. Get Help from the Developers
 For any software or application developed in the world anywhere, there will be some support available. The developer surely leave their email address anywhere by which you can contact them and get help. They would love it and will be ready to solve your problem because they know that their application is being used. Please don’t forget to say thanks to them and appreciate their work.

Nexus One will continue to remain available for developers, said Google

Nexus One

Google in a blog post has said that it will continue to make available the first Android phone Nexus One to developers for purchase at $529. Developers will be able to order the phone by signing in to their Android developer account followed by clicking on “Development phones” link. And, well, currently registering as an Android developer requires $25. However, it appears that only 900/1700/2100 MHz 3G models are available. Making available Nexus One to developers will not only help them to build android apps using either SDK or the NDK, but will also led them to experiment with the modified version of Android platform. Further, it is also important to note that phone will be shipped with it running over Android 2.1 along with upgrading itself automatically to Android 2.2 once the user turns it on. Earlier this month, Google ramped up offering Nexus one from its Google store.

It is also being reported that accessories of Google Nexus One are currently available over HTC’s European online store.

What is Public DNS ?

DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is an Internet service that translates domain names or host name into IP address. Our machine does not understand Host names, they identify websites using IP address. When u enter a website name in url bar of your browser the browser sends the request to a DNS server to resolve the website name and it returns a IP address.When IP address of website is received browser contacts the IP address and displays the Website. For eg: www.google.com might be translated to 209.85.231.104. Now you might have understood what are DNS so lets move a step ahead and discuss whats is DNS server. A DNS server is a dedicated machine or server or a service within a machine that provides name resolution in an IP network. It changes names of websites and other network resources to numeric IP addresses.

DNS

Now the question arises what is a public DNS server?

Most of the DNS servers are private i.e. they provide services to a company who owns and configures them.Example if you are using airtel or mtnl broadband connection they provide their private DNS servers. It means a Mtnl user cannot use airtel DNS servers. But there are some DNS server available on the net that provide DNS resolution to anyone who requests it to them. These are called public DNS servers. These servers are used by people for faster and safer browsing. You can use these servers as an alternative to your private DNS servers.

Some public DNS servers are:

1. Google

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

2. ScrubIt Public dns server address:

67.138.54.100
207.225.209.66

3. dnsadvantage free dns server list:

156.154.70.1
156.154.71.1

4. OpenDNS

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

5. vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net

Public Name server IP address:

4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5

Linux file system explained for beginners

For those of you coming from windows backgrounds, the way the linux filesystem is laid out may seem confusing at first glance…. but that is where this article comes in !

The first thing you should know when working with linux, is that everything is treated as either a file or directory. Yeap thats right, even hardware is considered a file by linux, and, speaking of hardware… all your hardware devices are located in the /dev directory, but more on that later.

Linux

Another thing that confuses windows users, is the fact that linux dosen’t use drive letters to distinguish between different partitions and devices. that is to say in linux, the “root” of your filesystem is / whereas in windows it would most probably be C:\ . Drives in linux are “mounted” to directories where their data can then be accessed, so for instance, if you needed to use your thumbdrive, you would plug it into your computer, and then mount it using the “mount” command, which specifies the path to the device ( something like /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc ) and the directory to mount it to (usually /mnt or /media), then you can happily access your drive from the /mnt or /media folder.

Sounds strange right? well yes it does if you come from a windows environment, where the entire operating system is consolidated onto a single drive. However, with linux and the ability to mount devices as directories, it gives the end user much greater flexibility in splitting up their operating system over several drives or partitions.

to understand what I mean when I say that this approach in mounting drives grants flexibility, I must first explain the different folders in linux and what they store

Diagram showing Linux filesystem hierarchy

The graphic above shows the linux filesystem hierarchy, now will explain in a bit more detail what each folder contains.

/ this is the root folder, all other folders come under root.. think of it as C:\ in a Windows context.
/bin this folder contains all the user-essential binaries (programs) that are needed to administer and run your linux system… delete this folder and your system is broken.

/boot as the name suggests, this folder contains configuration files and other necessary files that are needed by the bootloader

/dev this folder contains device files (remember, these files represent physical devices, so be careful when working with them)

/etc this folder contains all the configuration files used by the system, you can also start and stop services (daemons ) from here

/home this folder contains the home folders of all the normal (non – root ) users on the system .. think of it as my documents in windows

/lib this folder contains software libraries

/media this is a mount point for removable devices… this is where you would usually mount your thumbdrives … etc

/mnt this is a temporary mount point

/opt this folder contains add on software (extra software)

/sbin this folder contains binaries that can only be run as the root user (“superuser”)

/tmp this folder contains temporary files that are erased upon reboot

/usr this folder and its subfolders contains user installed programs and utilities and libraries

/var this folder contains files that change alot (“Variable files”)

/root this folder contians the root user’s files

/proc this is a psuedo folder, that contains information about the linux kernel and hardware that is updated in realtime.

Now back to how mounting grants flexibility…

you see how the different folders all contain parts of the operating system? well we can actually mount a seperate hard drive for each of this folders. for example, your /home folder can be put on another harddrive than your / which means that you can easily recover your personal files if the harddrive on / fails because the harddrive mounted to your /home folder is seperate from the one that is mounted to your /

So there you have it, you now know a little bit more about the nuts and bolts of linux based operating systems.'

Hacking Internet Cafe To Get Unlimited Time

I had some troubles with my computer, so it's been a while since my last post on this blog. I spent some time in internet cafe, playing LAN games with my friends. We used to pay only few bucks and then play for hours for free, without getting noticed, using a little trick. You don't need any software or hacking skills to do this trick. It's very simple and anyone with a bit computer knowledge can do it. Lets start.

How to disable the timer on the computers in Internet Cafe and play with your friends as long as you want.

1. First of all create a new Text Document. Then write CMD in it, and then save it as anything.bat. (Make sure you're file is .bat)

2. Now find your batch (.bat) file and run it. If you've done it correctly, you'll see that CMD (Command Prompt) will open.

3. Now, write in the CMD: cd\windows (This will change the directory to WINDOWS). Then type regedit and regedit editor should open.
4. Now navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>AppEvents>Software>Classes>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Internet Settings>Policies>System

5. Then on the right pane where it says Disable Taskmanager, right click on it and scroll down to modify, then change the value of it to 0. Then open Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE or CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE) and disable the Internet Cafe's timer.

If you did this right, you're done. Happy Hacking ;)

Know The Date Of Installation Of Your Windows

Sometime you may need the OS installation date. You may want to know how old is your OS or any other information related to your system. Windows does not provide direct information about the installation date of installation of your OS.

However you can view the date of OS installation from command prompt by giving some syntax to it.

With following command you can view whole detail about the manufacturer and about your OS. In this tutorial I am focusing to installation date of Windows.

systeminfo

• Open command prompt window by going to Run and type “cmd” (without quotes).
• Input “systeminfo” command to it.

SystemInfo

• It will look up for system information and load the result below the input.

System Info Looks Like

 

Search for the OS installation date. There you’ll find exact date for installation of OS. Not only this, you can view the BIOS version of your system, Computer model name, Product code, Time and date of system startup etc.

Hope this tutorial was informative.
