| Slick666 | Hey all, I have a wierd install problem I can't seem to find on any of the forums | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| Slick666 | I just did an upgrade | 00:14 |
| Slick666 | and my blocks used and blocks available in df don't agree | 00:15 |
| cjwatson | that happens when you have deleted files that are still in use by running processes; it may well go away after a reboot | 00:15 |
| Slick666 | df shows that I'm not using all my 1k blobks but still I have 0 free | 00:15 |
| cjwatson | that said, this channel is more for initial installation ... | 00:15 |
| Slick666 | I've rebooted a coulpe times | 00:16 |
| Slick666 | I've also deleted files after using rm | 00:16 |
| Slick666 | the used blocks reduce but I never get any available | 00:16 |
| cjwatson | oh, there's 5% reserved for root | 00:16 |
| Slick666 | Ive also forced an fsck but I'm stuck it seems | 00:16 |
| Slick666 | ah | 00:16 |
| cjwatson | sorry, I thought you were talking about df and du disagreeing | 00:17 |
| Slick666 | yea, that what I keep comming up with on google | 00:17 |
| cjwatson | you can adjust the reserved percentage with tune2fs's -m option; see its manual page. I don't know offhand whether you can do that while the filesystem is mounted, and would be inclined to recommend using recovery mode to change it if you need to. | 00:18 |
| Slick666 | ah, yea your right | 00:18 |
| cjwatson | but bear in mind that if you reduce it too much then you'll have fragmentation problems | 00:18 |
| Slick666 | I don't remember that being set before | 00:18 |
| Slick666 | cool | 00:18 |
| Slick666 | I think thats what was causing so many things to go wrong | 00:19 |
| cjwatson | you probably just didn't notice - it's been set by default forever | 00:19 |
| Slick666 | probably | 00:19 |
| Slick666 | thanks for the heads up | 00:19 |
| RicardoPerez | Riddell: Hi! I recently noticed that an old Ubiquity issue has reappeared in the Kubuntu 9.04 installer (only in Kubuntu, not Ubuntu). It's bug #225876. May I need to reopen it, or to open a new one? | 10:34 |
| cjwatson | RicardoPerez: please file new bugs for recurrences rather than reopening the old one; it could well be a new underlying cause with similar symptoms and it gets pretty annoying when people reopen ancient bugs for that kind of thing | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | just refer to the older bug in the description | 13:02 |
| cjwatson | if it turns out to be the same bug, we can mark it as a duplicate, which is a lot easier than trying to split out stuff from an existing bug | 13:02 |
| * cjwatson goes to do weekend things | 13:02 | |
| RicardoPerez | cjwatson: ok, thank you very much! | 13:07 |
| ashen_sharuga | Hey I see this is a channel for the development of ubiquity - so maybe this isn't the place to ask questions about not being able to install ubuntu? if that's the case can you point me to a place that can help me. I've been able to install numerous distros on my computer. But just recently I tried to install and tryout Jaunty. I'm able to load the liveCD, it can 'see' all the partitions under the Places menu, however whe | 22:47 |
