Linux Tutorial

Things to Do Before install OS in Dual/ Multi Boot Mode With Windows 8/ 8.1/ 10

Dual/ Multi Boot Mode
Dual booting is the technique for installing multiple operating systems on a computer, and being able to choose which one to boot. If a computer with multiple operating systems per storage device is a dual-booting computer that stores both Windows and Linux on the same disk drive with the different type of partitions. In this case a multi-booting boot loader is necessary for booting any one OS when computer start. If a computer have two operating system in it's hardware that booting technique is called dual booting. when the operating system going to more than two that is multi booting. Dual-booting may require a custom boot loader.

Things to Do
You must do major two things before start installing new Operating System in dual/Multi Boot Mode
1. Shrink or leave some sapce as unallocated (Empty space without any File System) .
2. Create the any one bootable disk for your OS installation by using ISO image. The Bootable disk means CD/DVD, Pen Drives or other Removable Devices

Before start installing OS in Dual/Multi Boot Mode, you must have working Windows 8/8.1/10 installation, as it is always good practice to install any Linux after Windows installation. If you install linux after windows then the grub(Grand Unified Boot Loader) is used. Here we are going to use windows disk management to play with system partition. it is the default tool that are available in the all windows version. Please Do not use any other third party program for do this. as it is not the good practice it may cause some problems in your physical HDD/SSD .

Create Unallocated space in windows
1. Open Run Command in windows by pressing Windows key + R and then type following command

diskmgmt.msc

Press Enter and it will open a New Disk Management Window. wait few seconds/minutes for load all your system partitions.

Shrink Volume

In the Disk Management Windows select your system partition which you want to shrink memory and right click then click shrink volume

Enter Memory Size and Shrink volume in windows Disk Management

Enter how much amount of space you want shrink from partition in MB. ( 1GB = 1024 MB). After Filling the Amount in MB click Shrink Button it will create the unallocated space.

unallocated space in Windows Disk Management

see one column has Black color that says it is the unallocated space. The unallocated space is raw space which is not have any type of file system. Please do not make any new volume on unallocated space because if you make new volume in windows it will create a new NTFS(New Technology File System) partition but in linux we are using different type of file system such as EXT, FAT, XFS.

The NTFS is not support in linux platform so it became useless in linux.That's all for the first things to do. If you done the above step successfully then you can go for create Bootable media.

Create Bootable Media Form ISO

Creating Bootable media is the process to make physical device like CD/DVD, pen drives to bootable one. so we can use that media device at the booting time. By using this type of bootable device we can install the new os.

Vitual Machine is concept of creates a virtual computer system with virtual computer hardwares. That means that hardwares are not pysically present but it creates virtually. That virtual machine runs like a process with window on your base operating system. The OS which have the vmware workstation is called Base OS. You can install and run the new operating system in the virtual machine environment which simple called as Guest OS. The guest os run just as it would on a real,physical machine.

Why we want to create Virtual Machine
If you want to work with two or more different/same type of operating system simultaneously then you must have the more than one computers. In this case the virtual machine concept is used. you can create virtual system in your real system and work with different operating system. for example you can use windows, Mac OSX and Linux simultaneously. The software developers are develop the software for more than one operating system environment or they develop software for cross platform so they can easily test their software using virtual machine.

Virtual Machine Softwares

Brightness Problem in fedora/RHEL/Centos Linux :

Unfortunatelly all Linux Distributions are come with some issues or bugs. i found one problem in my laptop for the above Linux Os is Brightness Problem. When i press the Brightness Control key or Hot Key in fedora/RHEL/CentOS. The small brightness change window is appear and it get decrease or increase. But it does not give any effect my computer's actual brightness. It simply show brightness level get change and does not give any result. Many of people says after upgrading fedora 22 to 23 (or other version) my brightness controll does not work and some other people says Brightness Hot key doesn't give any effect from the begging of installtion. In google search i found the solution for the above problem thorugh the fedora project forums. I would Like to say thanks for those peoples.

Solutions :

Here i will give you 3 solutions to solve the Linux Brightness problem. i will give one hundred percentage assurance one of the 3 solution will work for you. ok lets start just login to your fedora/RHEL/CentOS linux and open the Terminal then type the following command.

First Solutions

You can perform the following command as the root user or the nomal by using the sudo. Make sure before using sudo command for normal user that user entry must added into the /etc/sudoers file. The file is accessable for root user only. If you are not the superuser please contact admin and add your entry into /etc/sudoers Files.

Create the directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ if it is not exist.

Root
# mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Normal User
$ sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Then run the following command as one command in your terminal. Just copy and paste into terminal. Use ctrl+shift+v key for paste text in terminal instead of ctrl +v

echo -e ' Section "Device"\n\tIdentifier  "Intel Graphics"\n\tDriver      "intel"\n\tBusID       "PCI:0:2:0"\n\tOption      "Backlight"       "intel_backlight"\n EndSection' | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Finally Restart the X Session or reboot and see if the problem is fixed. Better to restart your System

Root User
#reboot
Normal User
$sudo reboot

After reboot try to change brightness the problem is maximum fixec. If it is not work then try the second solution

Second Solution

Add some parameter to kernal via the grub file. You can do the to add some instruction to the appropriate file.

You can use your favorite text editor. Here i am using gedit (Graphic Editor) for text editing purpose.

Root user
# gedit /etc/default/grub
Nomal User
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

At the line which begins with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= carefully add the parameter 'acpi_backlight=vendor' , thus the line will become something like this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... rhgb quiet acpi_backlight=vendor"

Save and close your file and then update your grub by using following command.

Grub file location differ in Old Bios method booting system and Moderm UEFI method booting system. I will give you a different command for both methods. You can use the suitable one for your system

Make/Update grub2 config for Old BiOS Booting Method :

Root User
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Normal User
$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Make/Update grub2 config for Modern UEFI Booting Method :

Root User
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
Normal User
$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

Finally reboot your system.

Alternative Solution

If above technic is not working or If you’re using Linux kernel 3.13 or later, you can add the parameter into your /etc/default/grub instead:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... rhgb quiet video.use_native_backlight=1"

Third Solution

If Both first and second solution is not work then try this solution for optional.

Try some parameters on kernel, via grub. You can do that if you edit the appropriate file.

Root user
# gedit /etc/default/grub
Nomal User
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

at the line which begins like this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= carefully add the parameter acpi_osi= , thus the line will become something like this(do not change other parameters and leave a space between acpi_osi= and the next parameter)

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi= vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 $([ -x /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) rd.luks=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0"

proofread, save the document and update grub configuration with following command

Make/Update grub2 config for Old BiOS Booting Method :

Root User
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Normal User
$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Make/Update grub2 config for Modern UEFI Booting Method :

Root User
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
Normal User
$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

After you reboot the system, the problem might be fixed, but (usually) you will lose the indicator.
