[04:47] <sethu> Hi i have problems adjusting brightness can anyone help me ?
[04:47] <rww> sethu: This isn't a support channel. Please ask in #ubuntu.
[16:24] <mistere> hi, will the following command: "dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/temp conv=notrunc,noerror" be safe to run?
[16:25] <mistere> I believe I am writing a partition to an image in the same partition
[16:25] <tsimpson> no
[16:25] <tsimpson> you'll end up reading what you've just written and writing it again
[16:25] <tsimpson> forever
[16:25] <tsimpson> well, until you run out of space
[16:26] <mistere> do you think you can help me make a data backup of my hda2 partition?
[16:26] <mistere> Im not sure what the command is or where to putput the resulting image
[16:27] <tsimpson> unless you have a USB drive or a large net storage device, you'll just have to backup files and directories manually
[16:27] <tsimpson> for details, you should ask in #ubuntu as this is not a support channel
[16:27] <mistere> so you mean I should tar them and ssh them over instead?
[16:28] <mistere> oh ok sorry
[16:28] <tsimpson> something like that
[16:28] <mistere> thanks
