[19:36] <raub> Wasn't there an option during server install that allowed you to ssh into the machine?
[20:41] <raub> Is 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?
[20:42] <tsimpson> mkfs does format them
[20:43] <raub> tsimpson: 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 that
[20:44] <tsimpson> there should be a manual partitioning option in the installer, and you should be able to select which partitions to use from there
[20:44] <tsimpson> I haven't use the server install in a long time, but I have a vague recollection
[20:44] <raub> lemme try again
[20:45] <raub> By manual I take you mean using command line?
[20:45] <raub> Because the one using the interface does not like me at all
[20:46] <tsimpson> I'm not sure, I just remember begin able to choose partitions during the install
[20:46] <tsimpson> once, a long time ago
[20:47] <raub> Yeah
[20:47] <raub> during the partiton disks menu you can click on "Manual"
[20:47] <raub> I need something a bit more, well, manual because that one is not working for me
[20:47] <raub> By 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.
[20:48] <tsimpson> hmm, that sounds like it didn't find a filesystem
[20:49] <raub> A filesystem it supposedly had created (using partman)
[20:50] <tsimpson> are you sure it created the filesystem (formatted)?
[20:50] <tsimpson> there's what the partition is marked as, and then there's what's actually on it
[20:51] <raub> At this point in time I cannot guarantee anything
[20:51] <raub> I do know that I have no problems creating said partitions and fylesystems using fdisk and mkfs in the livecd
[20:53] <tsimpson> strange indeed
[21:16] <kike_> Hi there
[21:16] <kike_> any idea about how to uncompress a lot of zip files (all in the same folder)  to a different folder each one?
[21:35] <RickZilla> kik_ If they're separate zips, you should be able to uncompress them individually to a different location
[22:21] <geirha> you want a shell one-liner?
[22:22] <geirha> err, I should turn join/part messages back on
