|---|---|---|
| stlsaint | johnsp: ?? | 03:29 |
| johnsp | hey how do i paste my df -k on to the chat | 03:29 |

| stlsaint | johnsp: well sda3 and 6 have alot of space. could always split off a separate /home and leave / where its at | 03:37 |
| johnsp | please suggest the instructions | 03:40 |
| johnsp | i am new to ubuntu | 03:40 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: well depends on what you want to do | 03:41 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: you also could move / to those huge drive spaces on sda3 or 6 | 03:41 |
| stlsaint | unless they are being used for something? | 03:41 |
| johnsp | well how do i change the path of new software installs | 03:43 |
| Fyodorovna | johnsp, from what to what? | 03:44 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: they are going to go into / | 03:44 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: unless you start specifiying at time of build and install which is just crazy to even think of for every package | 03:44 |
| johnsp | ok stlsaint | 03:45 |
| johnsp | anything i have to keep in mind before i move / to the unused disk | 03:46 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: uh, what do you plan on doing? | 03:46 |
| johnsp | stlsaint i plan to move / to sda3 | 03:49 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: using what guide? | 03:50 |
| johnsp | stlsaint how do i do this thats my next question | 03:52 |
| stlsaint | one sec | 03:53 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: hrm, what if you made a second partition on that sda3 for /home? | 03:57 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: that way you will keep your documents separate from rest of system | 03:57 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: /home is not only better documented but from my experince safer to move than / (not sure how, just bad works in past with it) | 03:58 |
| johnsp | stlsaint thats a good option..btw i dont think i have too many docs that are eating up the space | 03:59 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: docs, pics, vids, all count towards home. Unless you are just installing an insane amount of applications? | 04:01 |
| johnsp | stlsaint i have installed the default apps that comes with ubuntu 11.10 | 04:03 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: how big did you make your /? | 04:05 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: i gotta go here shortly if you are preoccupied with something else? | 04:06 |
| johnsp | stlsant: it is 6.2gb i guess | 04:07 |
| johnsp | stlsaint: thats the mistake | 04:07 |
| stlsaint | well that is problem | 04:07 |
| stlsaint | im not going to inquire as to why you made a 6GB / but your optinons include moving / altogether, or making new partition and marking it as root, if all you have done is install ubuntu i would go as far as to say do new partition scheme for longevity | 04:08 |
| stlsaint | fresh install. | 04:09 |
| johnsp | stlsaint if thats the only optioin.i will do that..thanks for your help | 04:10 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: no its not the only option but its a good one to consider | 04:11 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: setup a new scheme using some of that extra space as /home and some of the other as / | 04:12 |
| stlsaint | johnsp: i always make root anywhere from 10-15 (sometimes 20GB) | 04:12 |
| stlsaint | oh goodness | 04:12 |
| akhilblue | Guys i have a problem with font on ubuntu 12.04. few letter appear broken during login and sometimes in the user interface. any idea to what is wrong? | 07:30 |
| argoooooo | Hi. How can i upgrade from ubuntu-server 6.10 to 10.10? | 07:42 |
| Fyodorovna | argoooooo, both are end of life | 07:43 |
| argoooooo | can i upgrade to latest somehow? | 07:43 |
| Fyodorovna | argoooooo, not without a huge amount of time and effort, a fresh install is usually advised. | 07:44 |
| Fyodorovna | you have to go from 6.10 to 8.04 by each distro then 10.04 then 12.04 I believe | 07:45 |
| argoooooo | if i have the image for the latest version can i use that from my current version without uninstalling? | 07:45 |
| Fyodorovna | in a virtual yeah, when you say image is this a install image or cd? | 07:46 |
| argoooooo | cd | 07:46 |
| Fyodorovna | argoooooo, you could install alongside | 07:47 |
| Fyodorovna | dualboot it | 07:47 |
| argoooooo | I had problems installing latest version in vmware virtual server. I got error message from boot loader "install/vmlinuz file not found" you know what that mean? | 07:49 |
| argoooooo | i try to install alonside and dualboot | 07:49 |
| Fyodorovna | not sure have you checked the md5sum of the cd, and was it burned at the slowest speed. | 07:49 |
| argoooooo | using it as an iso file in vmware and don't need to burning it | 07:50 |
| Fyodorovna | did you check the sum? | 07:50 |
| Fyodorovna | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 07:51 |
| argoooooo | only thing i did was to check the "cd" from install menu and got the same message | 07:51 |
| argoooooo | ok i'l check that out | 07:52 |
| Fyodorovna | sounds like a bad download, if you got that from the cd check at boot. | 07:52 |
| argoooooo | ok maybe i should download a new file then | 07:53 |
| Fyodorovna | good luck. ;) | 07:54 |
| argoooooo | Thank you! | 07:55 |
| anan | Hi, just started an Ubuntu server that I wanted to try out php etc. Deal with my ISP is for a dynamic IP - and from some google searching I saw a static one was better for my purpose. Can I still manage with the dynamic IP? | 15:56 |
| yeehi | I need to run the following: for each in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/* do echo 0 > $each/accept_redirects echo 0 > $each/send_redirects done | 21:07 |
| yeehi | When I try, I get permission denied error | 21:07 |
| yeehi | What should I do? | 21:07 |
| geirha | probably only root can write to those files | 21:10 |
| geirha | echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/send_redirects | 21:11 |
| yeehi | thank you geirha - how to i change to root? | 21:12 |
| geirha | By using sudo, like I just showed | 21:13 |
| yeehi | I am sorry - i don't follow you | 21:14 |
| krytarik | I would rather run the script -itself- with 'sudo' prepended. | 21:14 |
| yeehi | I can't understand | 21:14 |
| === rastamouse is now known as nothingspecial | ||
| yeehi | how do i prepend sudo? i tried adding sudo before the command but it only did some of the command before prompting me for my password | 21:14 |
| krytarik | yeehi - sudo SCRIPTNAME | 21:15 |
| yeehi | is the command I entered a script? I haven't given it a name or saved it anywhere | 21:15 |
| krytarik | Then you should do that. | 21:16 |
| yeehi | i should save the command in a txt file as yeehiscript.sh ? | 21:16 |
| krytarik | Yup, and make it executable. | 21:17 |
| yeehi | after i save the file i right click on it and select properties... and somehow find executatble and click that | 21:17 |
| yeehi | ok how do i launch it? | 21:17 |
| krytarik | Then, if you are in the same directory as the script, you would run it like this: sudo ./SCRIPTNAME | 21:18 |
| yeehi | k | 21:18 |
| yeehi | l, | 21:18 |
| yeehi | ok thank you very much, krytarik | 21:19 |
| krytarik | From the Terminal, obviously. | 21:19 |
| krytarik | You're welcome. :) | 21:19 |
| argoooooo | Hi. I have problem installing one of the latest version of ubuntu server on my virtual server created in vmware. Tried two different iso files of version 12.04 and 10.10 and when i choose install from boot menu i got an error from boot loader "install/vmlinuz:file not found". | 21:26 |
| argoooooo | version 6.10 works fine to install. Any tips? | 21:26 |
| holstein | argoooooo: i would start confirming the iso | 21:29 |
| holstein | !md5 | 21:29 |
| ubot2 | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 21:29 |
| argoooooo | how common would it be that 3 iso files downloaded from ubuntu.com are corrupt? | 21:35 |
| holstein | argoooooo: over the same internet that you are using? likely... | 21:43 |
| argoooooo | holstein i got seven files that couldn't be found in the netboot directory with the md5 check | 21:45 |
| krytarik | argoooooo, use torrents for downloading the ISO files, e.g. for Precise 12.04, from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads | 21:49 |
| argoooooo | holstein should i download a new iso and hope that i got working one next time or how this work? | 21:49 |
| argoooooo | Ok i try a torrent | 21:49 |
| holstein | yeah.. that wont hurt... not sure about "fixing" them... ive never had to do it | 21:50 |
| argoooooo | Thanks | 21:50 |
| krytarik | You're welcome. :) | 21:51 |
