[08:04] <yeehi1> Using text install in Precise: I have successfully created a single encrypted volume, on which I can now put a file system. But I wanted to shrink this, so that some can be swap and the rest the file system. How do I do this?
[08:04] <yeehi1> If I create 2 encrypted volumes, one for swap and one for the fs, I would have to enter a password twice at bootup.
[08:05] <yeehi1> in Quantum/Raring, we only need to enter a password once, if we use the automated method.
[17:34] <isiah_s_> by default how long do logs last in /var/log/sa?
[17:36] <geirha> /var/log/sa ?
[17:59] <isiah_s_> yeah, its something I found it is associated with the sar command
[18:06] <isiah_s_> looks like 9 days
[18:19] <geirha> you can find the config for the log rotation in /etc/logrotate.d/
[18:22] <geirha> (That is, if this sar thingy uses logrotate to rotate the logs. Some do it other ways)
[18:24] <isiah_s_> I am thinking that I should rig up something like cctv, have a dedicated 500 Gb hd that just has a rotating log saving stuff like this for months
[18:53] <rostam> Hello, where to set system wide proxy setting on 12.04 release? thanks
[18:55] <geirha> you mean set the http_proxy environment variable? /etc/environment
[18:56] <rostam> geirha: yes, do I have to reboot ? thanks
[18:56] <geirha> rostam: no, it's read when you log in
[19:00] <rostam> geirha: after editing the /etc/environment, how could I check if it has take place? I started a new xterm and I did not see it in printenv output? thanks
[19:05] <geirha> you have to log in again
[19:05] <geirha> opening an xterm is not a login
[19:06] <rostam> so for a vnc session I should restart the session again I assume?
[19:34] <geirha> you can test it in a terminal by running   su - "$USER"   but it will only affect that one terminal
