raubWasn't there an option during server install that allowed you to ssh into the machine?19:36
raubIs there any reason why ubuntu 12.04LTS server will not let me use partitions I created (fdisk and mkfs.ext4) using the ubuntu livecd without formatting them?20:41
tsimpsonmkfs does format them20:42
raubtsimpson: exactly but then when i go to install the server it says it cannot continue because "there are system files in those partitions" or something like that20:43
tsimpsonthere should be a manual partitioning option in the installer, and you should be able to select which partitions to use from there20:44
tsimpsonI haven't use the server install in a long time, but I have a vague recollection20:44
raublemme try again20:44
raubBy manual I take you mean using command line?20:45
raubBecause the one using the interface does not like me at all20:45
tsimpsonI'm not sure, I just remember begin able to choose partitions during the install20:46
tsimpsononce, a long time ago20:46
raubYeah20:47
raubduring the partiton disks menu you can click on "Manual"20:47
raubI need something a bit more, well, manual because that one is not working for me20:47
raubBy that I mean giving me error messages like The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 in Virtual disk 1, partition #2 (vda2) at / failed.20:47
tsimpsonhmm, that sounds like it didn't find a filesystem20:48
raubA filesystem it supposedly had created (using partman)20:49
tsimpsonare you sure it created the filesystem (formatted)?20:50
tsimpsonthere's what the partition is marked as, and then there's what's actually on it20:50
raubAt this point in time I cannot guarantee anything20:51
raubI do know that I have no problems creating said partitions and fylesystems using fdisk and mkfs in the livecd20:51
tsimpsonstrange indeed20:53
kike_Hi there21:16
kike_any idea about how to uncompress a lot of zip files (all in the same folder)  to a different folder each one?21:16
RickZillakik_ If they're separate zips, you should be able to uncompress them individually to a different location21:35
geirhayou want a shell one-liner?22:21
geirhaerr, I should turn join/part messages back on22:22
