Swap file on colinux

[Gearsecond]

I post my problem with more explaination...
I have a server, and this is all program that i use to install it:
1. MSSQL 2000 and update to SP4
2. XAMPP-WIN32-1.6.4
3. Colinux 0.7.3 with Fedora
4. PWserver
5. PWclient
I don't know is it related or not with my problem.

My problem is I couldn't save my game progress i got This Failed
Attachment 73184
Attachment 73185
When i type df -kh in colinux, i got this:

I realize that my server is out of space,....

After i post it several days ago, kristkos told me that my error is swap file in my colinux...
Thanks to kristkos, he give me this Steps:

((( "Credit to: apachez

If colinux starts; shutdown

Command Prompt of Windows(make4GB): fsutil file createnew colinux_new.img 8589934592
>>>Done i create a File with 4Gb...,

Colinux conf edit: cobd2="c:\path\to\colinux_new.img"
>>>I dont fine this colinux conf? to be truth i confuse where to find it....Can anyone help me to find it?
I have suspect file is in my pw server.conf,... but i already try to edit it like apachez solusion
but it didn't work! and still show me that error.

And combine commands, i think u got low in swap space, and a little bit on .ext3
And dont forget to add those path in config file of pwserver (colinux\pwserver etc..)
a little rough but best u get or keep looking via search )))


~ No is not rough kristkos, i already search in this web
http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/ExpandingRoot,
and http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/HowtoCreateSwapFile
before i post in this forum... n i still could fix my server:crazy:
Thats why i post it in this forum asking for help

I'm a Newbie in this stuff... i don't have skill in programing,...
I post this again coz,... after i search all post in this forum... i realize that so many Newbie question haven't been answered until now.
Am i wrong enter this forum? or is there any forum that only for newbie???

if u need some pic,...I will give u all of my pic on my server component so u can give me direction,.....

This is Inside My colinux folder:
Attachment 73245
This is inside Pw folder inside Colinux Folder:
Attachment 73246

I love this game...But im lost now.

Thx,.. Hope that someone would help me, and this post can be usefull for anyone who have same problem with me.

make your pwserver.conf file look like this

# The default kernel
kernel=vmlinux

# File contains the root file system.
# Download and extract preconfigured file from SF "Images for 2.6".
cobd0="C:\coLinux\pwserver\PWServer.ext3"

# Swap device, should be an empty file with 128..512MB.
cobd1="C:\swapfilelocation\colinux_new.img"

# Tell kernel the name of root device (mostly /dev/cobd0,
# /dev/cobd/0 on Gentoo)
# This parameter will be forward to Linux kernel.
root=/dev/cobd0

# Additional kernel parameters (ro = rootfs mount read only)
ro

# Initrd installs modules into the root file system.
# Need only on first boot.
initrd=initrd.gz

# Maximal memory for linux guest
mem=256

# Network
eth0=slirp,,tcp:29000:29000
eth1=pcap-bridge,,00:FF:F9:54:7C:00

not sure about the Disk error though

[Gearsecond]

i've already try your suggestion, n this is what i've got

And i've tried to edited your suggestion,... but it seems,.. i still have the same problem.

Any Idea?

[InfectiousKO]

ok, so either you havent downloaded winpcap or you delted it

download this and install it then try and run it again
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/f...Pcap_4_0_2.exe

[Gearsecond]

Thx,.. For share that program... I dont get any error like before.

But when i run Colinux,... i still get some failed in:
"Enabling swap space: swapon: /dev/cobd1: No such device."

What is the next step?

[pagipagi]

i dont know about colinux. but i thought that, better edit the swap partition to the other hardisk.
so later you can back up your linux file with this command:
backup;
* sudo su
* cd /opt ( my opt directory is on my 2nd hardisk )
* tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/opt/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /

now you will get backup.tgz on /opt directory.

restoring:
* tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /
* mkdir proc
* mkdir lost+found
* mkdir mnt
* mkdir sys
etc...

its ubuntu version
i hope it help :)

[Gearsecond]

Thx for the input but i think you have more skill than me

Still can't solve my problem

Someone that can give me step by step plz give me a guide...Im realy-realy hoping someone can guide me step by step,... i'll give anything information u need about my Perfect World.

[pagipagi]

cobain pake linux beneran atuh akang..

itu teh linux emulator yah? ( colinux ? )



i dont know, never try colinux.

[Gearsecond]

Aya naon atuh,... Wah akhirnya ketemu orang indo juga^^

Humph,.. habis pakai Windows ga bisa Linux^^


Finaly meet a person form my country^^
Thx...

[InfectiousKO]

that has nothing to do with it, the reason why your cobd1 isnt connecting is because your path is wrong...

do exactly what i say

~click start
~locate RUN
~open RUN
~type cmd
~type in: cd C:\coLinux
should change your directory to look like this:


~now type in: fsutil file createnew pwserver1 1073741824
should look like this:


~do this 3 more times, so you have pwserver1, pwserver2, pwserver3, and pwserver4
should look like this:


~now, download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?oifdddwdjhm
~place the file you just downloaded into the folder that has your pwserver.bat and pwserver.ext3

~start pwserver.bat

i made this noob friendly :)

[pagipagi]

@InfectiousKO nice share bro :)

@Gearsecond huehehuehuhuehuehuhuehe
where do you come from :P
i thought that real unix is same with emulator unix ^^

[Gearsecond]

@InfectiousKO,... Thx for share...
I've tried your steps and this is what i've got:

Thx,.. I realy need a guide like this...Plz help me if u have some solution...


@pagipagi,... Susah sekali mencari forum di Indo >.<
Me? im from surabaya. what about U?
Yeah but my whole computer in my office use windows, so i can't change my OS

[Romulan]

@Gearsecond
Just use your home computer XD

@pagipagi
yes some commands are same on linux and colinux... but not all

[InfectiousKO]

please post your computer specs here, so i can see what size swap file you need

[pagipagi]

@Gearsecond
Just use your home computer XD

@pagipagi
yes some commands are same on linux and colinux... but not all

hmmm....

i thought that colinux is just emulator like VMWare.
so it depend what type of linux which become the image for that emulator..
the various commands is different for each linux type. just a few command and concept. like fedora and ubuntu. i thought its not depend for the emulator ^^ just the type of linux which you burned :)

[Gearsecond]

Oww,.. Hi romulan^^
I can't either use my comp at home^^ coz i use it for my work... Im an Architect

Give me your input if u have opinion about my problem.

Thx.

@InfectiousKO
My home Comp:
Intel Pentium4 3,4Ghz
2GB of ram
Main HDD 120Gb
Secondary HDD 1Tb
This is what i tested all ur input.
But in my comp office is:
Core2Duo uncheck(will edited soon)
2Gb of Ram
320GB HDD

[Romulan]

@Gearsecond
Oh it's nice a job architect^^

I don't know... i just suggest you to use vmware or sun virtual box. I think it's more easy to install it and run it. Colinux is crappy.

@pagipagi
Yes it's true i like Debian and Ubuntu... ^^ easy linux distro ^^

[pagipagi]

@Gearsecond dont wanna try with the real unix? maybe i can help you :)
sorry i dont understand colinux problem :)
you can do dual bot later :)
1. win xp
2. ubuntu :)

[InfectiousKO]

do this

~open pwserver.conf in a notepad
~delete these two lines:
cobd3="C:\coLinux\PWServer3"
cobd4="C:\coLinux\PWServer4"

~after that test and see what happens

[Gearsecond]

This is in My colinux Folder:

This is inside my PWServer.conf:

This is what i'v got:


@pagipagi: Thanks for your offer but i won't do like that^^
I like wondows. n it can be said that i don't like Linux.
Thx.

[InfectiousKO]

try and delete cobd2 line
sometimes it'll say that if the swap is bigger than the ram on your pc

[Gearsecond]

I've already try delete cobd2 line, But still have that problem
