| Patyh | Hi.. | 10:12 |
|---|---|---|
| yeehi | How can I do all these 3 things, installing Quantal: Manually decide the partitions and file systems, (easy) and encrypt (easy) and also have LVM? (doing the last thing too is difficult for me.) | 15:55 |
| realm174_ | Installing Ubuntu on a new computer. Need to migrate everything from the old computer. Different versions: Old computer 11.04 32 bit, new computer 12.10 64 bit. Any step by step? | 19:29 |
| geirha | Depends what "everything" means | 19:30 |
| realm174_ | Ah yes... well, old ubuntu has web/ftp servers running. Also would like to migrate shared folders (/home, /share). I can figure out how to copy the files, but how about the server settings? Can I just copy the files from /etc and restart apache? | 19:31 |
| geirha | most likely, yes. | 19:32 |
| geirha | you may need to tweak some config files to account for the version gap, but in general, software is backward compatible | 19:33 |
| realm174_ | oh good! I guess same goes with the /etc/samba folder then... | 19:34 |
| realm174_ | Last question... What's the easiest way to find out what else I might have installed over the years on the old computer that is "still in use"? | 19:35 |
| geirha | take care though, don't copy all config files at once, do one service at a time, do some simple tests to ensure its up | 19:35 |
| geirha | if the old config fails to work on the new system, there's always dpkg-reconfigure or apt-get purge to start over | 19:35 |
| geirha | that's a tough one | 19:36 |
| geirha | you can run a command to get a list of packages currently installed. That'll give you a clue, but doesn't really tell you if they're in use or not | 19:38 |
| realm174_ | Well, I'll start with the ones I already know, I guess I'll find out if there's something missing as I go along :) thanks for the assistance, that was very helpful!! | 19:38 |
| realm174_ | alright, problem #1... I used wubi to install Ubuntu along with Win7. Wubi only grabbed 16G out of the 250Gb of freespace I had. Is there a way to allocate more to Ubuntu or do I need to re-install? | 19:57 |
| geirha | Yes, the easiest way is just creating a new virtual disk for it. | 19:59 |
| geirha | I believe the wubi page describes how | 20:00 |
| geirha | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_create_a_virtual_disk_in_Ubuntu.3F | 20:01 |
| geirha | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_resize_the_virtual_disks.3F | 20:01 |
| realm174_ | awesome, thanks! Lots of good info on that page, I'll be reading | 20:02 |
