jribgluttony: hi09:40
gluttonyyo09:40
jribok, you took a quick look at your fstab?09:40
jribyou get the basic idea?09:40
gluttonynot really.09:40
jrib<file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>09:40
gluttonyo ok09:40
jribyou only have to realize what the first two columns are09:40
jribso what you want to do is have a new line where it says:09:41
gluttonyok09:41
jribmy_other_partition    /home    blah blah blah09:41
jribso, first thing to do is figure out what the other partition is.  Do you know that?09:41
gluttonyyeah, sd109:42
jribsd1?09:42
jribyou sure?09:42
jribsdb1 maybe?09:42
gluttonysda1, sorry09:43
jriband what is your / now?09:44
gluttonymy what?09:44
gluttonyhda309:44
gluttony/dev/hda3 to be exact09:44
jribok so here is how to move your home:09:44
jrib1. reboot in recovery mode09:45
jrib2. mount /dev/sdb1 somewhere09:45
gluttonyyouve lost me already09:45
jrib3. mv /home/* /place/you/mounted/sdb109:45
jribok I'll go over each one you have questions on at the end09:45
jrib4. edit fstab to mount sdb1 as /home09:46
jrib5. reboot09:46
jribgluttony: ok what's the first thing you are unsure of?09:46
gluttonypretty much each step, cept 509:47
jrib:)09:47
gluttonylike, i dont even have a sdb109:47
jribok, 1. recovery mode is a choice from the grub menu when you boot09:47
jribsorry, sda109:47
jribgluttony: so 1 should make sense now?09:48
gluttonythe grub menu, thats that list ok stuff at boot to pick from, right?09:48
jribright09:48
gluttonyis it suppoed to have a bunch of entries?09:49
jribyes09:49
gluttonyok. because when i first installed ubuntu, it didnt have so many choices09:49
jrib"recovery mode" should definitely be there09:49
gluttonyok09:50
jribalright, so 2. now09:50
gluttonyjust to clairfy, this is the list that has windows on it too,right?09:50
jribyep09:50
gluttonyok09:51
jribgluttony: what happens to sda1 now?  does it get automatically mounted somewhere?09:51
gluttonyhell if i know09:51
=== n2diy [n=darryl@66.212.43.40] has joined #ubuntu-classroom
gluttonyi guess it does09:52
jribgluttony: pastebin your /etc/fstab09:52
gluttonypastbin? not certain of that terminology09:53
jrib!pastebin09:53
ubotupastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)09:53
gluttonyhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21602/09:55
gluttonyubotu: thanks09:55
ubotuYou're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)09:55
jribgluttony: hmm sda1 seems to be being used as /usr already09:56
gluttonyreally?09:56
jribyep09:57
gluttonyim cnfused about how all of this works. what is kept in /usr?09:58
jribgluttony: most of the stuff you install ends up somewhere in /usr09:58
jrib!fhs09:58
ubotuThe files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux09:58
gluttonyok09:59
gluttonyso, where is my home? is home usr or what?09:59
jribhome is /home and usr is /usr10:00
jribyour /usr is on a seperate partition10:00
jribeveryting else is /hda310:00
=== emonkey-f [n=emonkey@static-pro-212-101-27-121.adsl.solnet.ch] has joined #ubuntu-classroom
jribthen you have a seap at hda2 and some windows partition on hda110:00
jribs/seap/swap10:01
=== _neversfelde [n=neversfe@nrbg-4db444b1.pool.einsundeins.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom
gluttonyive tried creating folders in usr, but it didt work10:01
jribyou usually do not want to modify anything outside your home10:02
gluttonyso i dont want to save stuff to usr?10:02
jribno10:03
gluttonydamn, then i made my /usr too big10:03
jribpastebin:  df -h10:03
gluttonyand /home too small10:03
gluttonyhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21604/10:05
jribgluttony: what sda2 for?10:06
gluttonywindows10:08
jribwell I guess you could move /usr back to hda3 and then move home there10:08
jrib"there" being sda110:08
gluttonybut sda2 is in use10:09
jribsda110:09
gluttonythey both are in use10:09
jribright but sda1 is being used as /usr, so just move /usr to hda310:09
gluttonywill it fit?10:10
jribyeah10:10
jribit's only using 3GB10:10
gluttonyok, how do i do that10:11
jriband you have 10GB free on /10:11
gluttonyok, so what do i do to move home to sda1, and usr to hda3?10:12
gluttonyand what goes in usr?10:14
jrib /usr has most of the stuff you install10:14
gluttonywell, will those 10 gigs be able to hold any app installs?10:15
jribgluttony: it's probably a good idea to copy /usr over to / first10:15
jribgluttony: definitely10:15
gluttonyok10:15
jribsudo cp -a /usr /usr.backup10:16
jribthat's a command10:16
gluttonycan i put home and user on the same drive?10:16
jribif you create two partitions I guess10:17
gluttonyso i can resize an existing partion in Gparted? without deleting it10:17
jrib20gb is plenty for stuff other than /home.  Remember that you are moving your /home out so you'll get more space10:17
gluttonyok10:18
gluttonyok, i gave the command. if theres any future command, i need sudo to use them, fyi.10:18
jribis it still going?10:19
gluttonyit hasnt even started. the cursor is just blinking10:20
jribyeah it will take a while10:20
gluttonyok10:20
gluttonyafter that, what do i do?10:20
jribedit your fstab10:20
jribI guess we can do that now10:20
gluttonycan you step by step help me?10:21
jribgluttony: do you still have your fstab open?10:22
gluttonyno10:22
jribgluttony: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab10:22
gluttonywhats the gk mean?10:23
jrib!gksudo10:24
ubotuIf you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application> 10:24
gluttonyok10:24
gluttonyi have fstab open now10:24
jribput a  #  in front of a line 1010:25
gluttonyok, whats that do?10:25
jribit comments that line so it doesn't get read10:25
gluttonysudo cp .... is done by the way10:26
jribk10:26
jribno errrors right?10:26
gluttonyim just curious why that line needs to not be read10:26
gluttonyright, no errors10:26
jribgluttony: ok done with fstab?10:27
gluttonyyeah, i put in the comment10:27
gluttonywhat did sudo cp do?10:27
jribit copied your /usr on sda1 to /usr/backup on hda310:28
gluttonyok10:28
jribok, now I think the next step will probably fail, but we'll try...10:28
jribsudo umount /dev/sda110:28
gluttonycommand not found10:29
jribwhat is the full error output?10:29
gluttonysudo: unmount: command not found10:29
jrib"umount" not "unmount"10:29
gluttonyumount: /dev/sda1: not mounted10:30
jribhmm10:31
jribtype "mount"10:31
jribor did you use the command twice?10:31
gluttonynope10:31
gluttonyok, i ran mount10:32
jribgluttony: do:  sudo umount /usr10:32
gluttonyumount: /usr: device is busy10:32
gluttonyumount: /usr: device is busy10:32
jribyeah okay10:32
jribyou'll have to reboot in recovery mode10:32
gluttonyok, i can still use xchat right?10:33
