| skinnymg1 | hello everyone | 02:55 |
|---|---|---|
| skinnymg1 | so, once this is done installing I should be able to reboot into the install? | 03:00 |
| docadams | I have a system with 4TB drive. If I install xubuntu 18.10, I can take the whole drive in remaining after swap space allocated. If I clean the drive, install win10 (need it for one thing) and then run live cd and using gparted 0.32.0 I can only get partition of less than 2GB. Installed with dual boot and still can not resize the /ext4 partition. Can I get the whole 3TB+ in one partition? | 03:57 |
| docadams | Sorry. That should be 2TB instead of 2GB for each of the two partitions I make up after the win10 partition. | 04:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | docadams: is it an older computer, 32bit ? | 04:05 |
| docadams | No. It is a 64bit Intel i5 with quad core. Have 8GB of main memory. | 04:06 |
| docadams | I can give you lshw listing (long!!). | 04:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | a bios setting is the only other thing I can think of for a file size limit | 04:07 |
| docadams | I would think the bios setting would come into play with the installation of xubuntu taking the whole drive. It does not as I can get one partition over 3.5TB. | 04:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 04:10 |
| docadams | Here is message I get if I install gparted and try to resize with the system installed. | 04:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | docadams: a quick web search says you need to use gpt | 04:12 |
| docadams | ====================== | 04:12 |
| docadams | libparted : 3.2 | 04:12 |
| docadams | ====================== | 04:12 |
| docadams | partition length of 4480573440 sectors exceeds the msdos-partition-table-imposed maximum of 4294967295 | 04:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | !partition | 04:16 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap | 04:16 |
| docadams | Thanks. I'll log out and use the steps in the URL. ciao. | 04:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | luck | 04:19 |

| mnan | hi | 08:28 |
| mnan | Hi. I have a quick question. While installing xubuntu from the usb installer onto a usb 3.1 stick, I can't select the stick a main installation directory pointer so that I could encrypt the USB 3.1 drive. Is there any other possibility to change the main installation onto the usb stick so that I can make use of the encryption other than taking the harddisk out of my laptop ? :) thanks | 08:37 |
| faithinstrangers | ok dumb question - i have 16gb of ram, do I need swap? | 18:44 |
| faithinstrangers | if so, how much? a guide on redhat is suggesting i use 8gb, but i'm not sure | 18:44 |
| brainwash | you would need it for what? | 18:46 |
| faithinstrangers | i'm not sure what you're asking | 18:47 |
| faithinstrangers | i thought it was common practice to have a swap partition, no? | 18:48 |
| brainwash | if you run out of memory, or if you want to use suspend-to-disk | 18:49 |
| brainwash | is this the case? | 18:49 |
| faithinstrangers | i'm intending of having the computer run 24/7 without suspending or sleeping | 18:49 |
| faithinstrangers | it's a desktop if that helps | 18:50 |
| brainwash | there you have it then | 18:51 |
| faithinstrangers | ok cool | 18:51 |
| faithinstrangers | thanks :) | 18:51 |
