[03:33] <johnsp> url http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116769/
[03:37] <stlsaint> johnsp: well sda3 and 6 have alot of space. could always split off a separate /home and leave / where its at
[03:40] <johnsp> please suggest the instructions
[03:40] <johnsp> i am new to ubuntu
[03:41] <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?
[03:43] <johnsp> well how do i change the path of new software installs
[03:44] <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
[03:45] <johnsp> ok stlsaint
[03:46] <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?
[03:49] <johnsp> stlsaint i plan to move / to sda3
[03:50] <stlsaint> johnsp: using what guide?
[03:52] <johnsp> stlsaint how do i do this thats my next question
[03:53] <stlsaint> one sec
[03:57] <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
[03:58] <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)
[03:59] <johnsp> stlsaint thats a good option..btw i dont think i have too many docs that are eating up the space
[04:01] <stlsaint> johnsp: docs, pics, vids, all count towards home. Unless you are just installing an insane amount of applications?
[04:03] <johnsp> stlsaint i have installed the default apps that comes with ubuntu 11.10
[04:05] <stlsaint> johnsp: how big did you make your /?
[04:06] <stlsaint> johnsp: i gotta go here shortly if you are preoccupied with something else?
[04:07] <johnsp> stlsant: it is 6.2gb i guess
[04:07] <johnsp> stlsaint: thats the mistake
[04:07] <stlsaint> well that is problem
[04:08] <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
[04:09] <stlsaint> fresh install.
[04:10] <johnsp> stlsaint if thats the only optioin.i will do that..thanks for your help
[04:11] <stlsaint> johnsp: no its not the only option but its a good one to consider
[04:12] <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
[07:30] <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?
[07:42] <argoooooo> Hi. How can i upgrade from ubuntu-server 6.10 to 10.10?
[07:43] <Fyodorovna> argoooooo, both are end of life
[07:43] <argoooooo> can i upgrade to latest somehow?
[07:44] <Fyodorovna> argoooooo, not without a huge amount of time and effort, a fresh install is usually advised.
[07:45] <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?
[07:46] <Fyodorovna> in a virtual yeah, when you say image is this a install image or cd?
[07:46] <argoooooo> cd
[07:47] <Fyodorovna> argoooooo, you could install alongside
[07:47] <Fyodorovna> dualboot it
[07:49] <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.
[07:50] <argoooooo> using it as an iso file in vmware and don't need to burning it
[07:50] <Fyodorovna> did you check the sum?
[07:51] <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
[07:52] <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.
[07:53] <argoooooo> ok maybe i should download a new file then
[07:54] <Fyodorovna> good luck. ;)
[07:55] <argoooooo> Thank you!
[15:56] <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?
[21:07] <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?
[21:10] <geirha> probably only root can write to those files
[21:11] <geirha> echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/send_redirects
[21:12] <yeehi> thank you geirha - how to i change to root?
[21:13] <geirha> By using sudo, like I just showed
[21:14] <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] <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
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <krytarik> Then you should do that.
[21:16] <yeehi> i should save the command in a txt file as yeehiscript.sh ?
[21:17] <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?
[21:18] <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,
[21:19] <yeehi> ok thank you very much, krytarik
[21:19] <krytarik> From the Terminal, obviously.
[21:19] <krytarik> You're welcome. :)
[21:26] <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?
[21:29] <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
[21:35] <argoooooo> how common would it be that 3 iso files downloaded from ubuntu.com are corrupt?
[21:43] <holstein> argoooooo: over the same internet that you are using? likely...
[21:45] <argoooooo> holstein i got seven files that couldn't be found in the netboot directory with the md5 check
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <holstein> yeah.. that wont hurt... not sure about "fixing" them... ive never had to do it
[21:50] <argoooooo> Thanks
[21:51] <krytarik> You're welcome. :)
