<0> well on slackware i can type alsaconfig
<1> am using FC 4
<2> My keyboard came!
<2> I can _type_!
<0> i dont how to config sound in ur distro which ever it is
<0> so
<0> i cant say anything
<0> bout oit
<0> brb
<1> k
<3> there s no "recylce bin" equivalent in linux right? i keep deleting things but df continually says there is no free space
<2> fearphage: The kde and gnome desktop have a recycle bin.
<2> run "df". Tell me which filesystem is full.
<2> Or paste all of df output at http://pastebin.ca (don't paste here)
<3> tmpfs sysfs and /dev/hda1 are all full
<2> Yeah. I'll need to see the output after you paste it to pastebin.ca
<3> give me a second to put it on the network then
<3> well openssl has a version mismatch so i cant run sshd so i can't easily get the info
<3> no space to reinstall openssl
<3> let me try something else
<2> hand copy it to me in private message.
<2> I'm most interested in the "/dev/hda1" line.
<2> I don't know where you mounted it
<3> http://pastebin.ca/126510
<4> Bye.
<5> fearphage: even after you rebooted ?
<3> yup
<5> oh. is that a slax cd? with an installation done from the dvd ?
<5> because everything is 3.2 Gb
<3> yes, i installed from a cd
<5> and everything has the sme ammount of inodes
<3> a slax live cd
<5> this is installed to harddisk, right ?
<3> yes
<5> and the disk is 3.2 Gb ?
<3> the disk is larger but thats just what i used
<5> because the filesystem you use is basically an overlay filesystem iirc.
<5> anyway, can you do a du -sh * in the root directory ?
<5> (as root)
<5> that will shw the size of the directories
<3> ok
<3> thats what i have been looking for
<3> i want to see where all the space has gone
<3> whats the recommended size for the swap partition?
<3> the ratio
<5> it used to be 1.5xmemory
<5> unless memory > 512Mb iirc, then its 1xmemory up to 1 Gb. after that it doesnt matter anymore
<3> ok
<6> hi every body
<5> fearphage: but im affraid that with that size of diskspace you will always have some issues with space
<6> i am going to apply for a master program
<5> especially when you install a lot of big software (acrobat, kde, that sort of thing)
<5> lifeengineer: good for you :)
<3> can i change the size of the swap partition while the disk is live?
<5> jblack: i hope you dont mind me buting in like that :D
<3> safely*
<6> and i am asked to provide a Self declaration or certificate of knowledge of English language in software format
<6> Enchanter_tim: lol thanks a million
<5> fearphage: well, yeah. sort of. you unmount the swap, create a bigger one, then mkswap the newly created swap, and then mount it again
<5> or you can create an additional swap partition
<6> Enchanter_tim: please what they mean by that
<5> lifeengineer: no idea. i think you have to prove that you can speak and write english. but i have no clue how to prove that.
<5> the uni or school where you will be doing your masters should be able to fill you in on that
<6> Enchanter_tim: may be writing a small letter to prove that?
<6> Enchanter_tim: because they said self certification
<6> Enchanter_tim: may be to write a small letter to prove my ability in english
<5> lifeengineer: you would be better off asking them..
<5> i never had to do anything like that. but ive never done a masters program either
<6> Enchanter_tim: thanks a million
<6> Enchanter_tim: by the way wich distro do u use?
<5> lifeengineer: np, even if i wasnt able to help you
<5> lifeengineer: umm.. ive used over a dozen, but currently i use gentoo, ubuntu and suse
<2> Nah. go for it. I'm playing a game
<6> np, thank you, the most important that u tried to do it
<6> wich one do u prefer? and why?
<5> lifeengineer: btw, check this out: http://www.sprachenportfolio.ch/esp_e/esp15plus/u_downloads.htm
<5> lifeengineer: gentoo because of the control, and suse for the ease of use.
<5> i like ubuntu because its easy to maintain :)
<3> well i repartition the space from the swap partition
<3> what do i need to do before i reboot
<3> i didnt touch the boot drive /dev/hda1
<5> if you change the partition name, modify /etc/fstab.
<5> and you dont have to reboot
<5> just use either mount -a (to mount every partition that should be mounted) or swapon -a yourswapdevice
<5> oh. just do a swapon -a
<5> that should be enough
<6> Enchanter_tim: please wich one is the most requested by the companies?
<5> -a All devices marked as ``swap'' swap devices in /etc/fstab are made available,
<5> except for those with the ``noauto'' option. Devices that are already running as
<5> swap are silently skipped.
<5> lifeengineer: in europe, redhat and suse.
<5> for the rest i have no idea. although any linux experience should help
<3> thanks
<5> fearphage: then check with swapon -s and see if everything is working as expected
<5> you should see something like this:
<5> lunax / # swapon -s
<5> Filename Type Size Used Priority
<5> /dev/hda2 partition 514072 544 -1
<5> size is in Kb iirc
<6> Enchanter_tim: isn't Debian a good choice?
<5> lifeengineer: well, yeah, it is. but ive seen more requests for either redhat or suse
<3> i just made the swap smaller and added a drive after it
<3> i see it in fdisk as /dev/hda3
<3> mount -a says cant find device hda3
<5> yeah, you havent yet put it in /etc/fstab
<3> no i did
<5> and have you formatted /dev/hda3 ?
<3> teehee
<5> :)
<5> mkfs /dev/hda3 or mkreiserfs or whatever fs you use
<3> could not /stat /dev/hda3
<3> could not stat /dev/hda3
<3> from mke2fs
<3> and mkfs
<5> oh, then maybe you *do* need to reboot
<6> Enchanter_tim: but i can't get neither RHES or Suse Server which are used in companies
<5> and in fdisk, is the partition type set to 82?
<3> it is
<5> which is the Linux format
<3> hda1 = 82, hda2 = 83, hda3 = 81
<3> i mean 82 for the last one
<5> then you probably need to reboot to let the bios (i think) know that you have another partition
<3> i have rebooted a few times
<3> hmmm
<5> afte the repartitioning ?
<3> yes
<5> hmm.. lets see...
<3> trying again
<3> i powered off this time
<5> can you paste the output from fdisk?
<5> ah, maybe that helps
<3> ok
<3> i need to update some swap settings
<3> it says /dev/hda2 is an invalid argument
<3> yay
<3> i just did mkswap /dev/hda2 and it seems to be fine
<3> http://pastebin.ca/126552
<5> that looks ok
<5> now, what happens if you do a "mkfs hda3"
<7> i'm off home guys and gals :)
<7> i'll catch ya's later :)
<5> well, yeah. see you
<7> :)
<7> h/f :)
<3> http://pastebin.ca/126556
<5> hrm.. ls -alh /dev/hda3 ?
<5> what you can also try is to delete the partition in fdisk again and then just recreate it.
<6> Enchanter_tim: sorry for my stupid questions, are open Suse and Fedora core very different of RHES or Suse Server used into companies?
<5> lifeengineer: no. they are quite the same in a lot of ways
<5> switching from opensuse to SLES should take you a very short time, and the same holds true for RHEL
