<0> i'm putting a new install on the back half of a disk (with XP in the front) and all partition labels in the extended partition are not being recognized. I booted into recovery and e2label wont even rename them. any ideas? the installer previously had some issues, so i just tried it again and the install was fine... but now this...
<1> wanna talk somebody
<2> hello
<3> sorry for the nick changes
<4> mblog.lib.umich.edu/~donofrio
<5> is there a gui tool that can help me setup my brand new HD?
<4> need fc5test2 help
<6> has anyone worked with the "yum-pull" script for repository mirroring?
<5> is there a gui tool that can help me setup my brand new HD to ext3?
<6> is it already set up as ext2?
<5> Nope, I just installed right now..brand new out of the box
<6> ah
<6> what device is it, in dmesg and /dev?
<5> /dev/hdb1
<6> and it's completely blank?
<5> out of the box :)
<6> hmm
<6> I could walk you through fdisk and newfs from the commandline, if you want
<5> please :)
<6> do you just want one big partition for all the data?
<5> yep :)
<5> thanks btw
<6> ah, easy like pie
<5> haha
<6> as root,
<6> # fdisk /dev/hdb
<6> > p
<6> (prints the partition table so you can make sure it's blank, and make sure it's the right disk)
<6> > m (if you want to see the menu of options)
<6> otherwise,
<6> > n (to create a new partition)
<6> p to select primary
<6> 1 to say partition 1
<6> then accept the default start and the default end
<6> then w to write and exit
<6> and that sets up the partition
<6> If it tells you to reboot, do so. Otherwise, # mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1
<5> awesome, you did right from the back of your head?
<6> yes
<5> great on the spot tutorial
<6> without seeing the interface
<5> Thanks Bery!
<6> not really :)
<6> can you handle the fstab stuff on your own?
<5> fstab, sounds familiar..in fact I remember using it..is it to auto mount or something?
<6> yeah
<6> in /etc/fstab ...
<5> oh yeah, like the back of my hand
<5> just one line
<6> yup, you can basically make ***umptions based on the other entries in there. it's easy.
<5> Thanks again.
<6> you're welcome
<5> phew, all is smooth. Any good nix games?
<6> I don't play games :)
<5> why do you live? kidding :)
<6> programming. :)
<5> same :)
<5> I do play some mindless games at times just to zone out
<6> quake3 is good for that
<6> dunno about quake4
<6> both are available for linux
<5> yeah, my nix box has 64mb geforce..I highly doubt any quake would work on ity
<5> it*
<6> q3 would work alright
<5> geforce 4 rather
<5> you sure? It was hopeless on win32
<6> really? Works fine on my Radeon. Worked mostly fine on my 16MB Banshee AGP too, if just a tad slow.
<6> (Radeon 7000)
<5> wow, wait a minute..it was Doom 3 which was choppy
<5> I don't recall playing around with Quake 3+
<6> yeah, my Radeon 7000 gets about 4fps in Doom3. And that's just the menu.
<5> hahaha
<5> is there downloadable rpms? or is it one of those you gotta compile yourself thingies which I have no idea how they work yet
<6> I think there are downloadeable RPMs, especially for the Quake3 Demo - look in to using "yum" to do that (built in to Fedora)
<5> yum, yep. I remember using it once. Thanks..I'll let you know how my search goes
<6> for the commercial version, I think there's an RPM but you have to purchase the game to get the level files
<6> (I think some versions of the game have the linux RPM on-disc)
<6> anyway, yum is a great way to keep your system up to date
<6> yum check-update to see what needs to be installed, and yum update to do the install. Easy.
<5> yep, last I used it..I ran this command: yum upgrade
<6> ah, that's similar to update, but ... uhm ... a little more invasive, i think the word would be. The man page describes it better :)
<6> but, like, yum install q3ademo and it would be installed (***uming that was the proper name for it)
<5> yep, I am seeing a lot of .run files
<5> sh file.run -a right?
<6> I do not know, sorry.
<5> yep, I'll mess with it
<5> Thanks again, this chan r0x
<7> how do i check for kernel version in terminal
<4> how do I list all partitions on all devices from ssh?
<8> donofrio1 : df -h
<2> display filesystem
<4> no I mean I have two ntfs partitions on devices but for get exactly what parions
<4> its not mounted
<7> how do i check for kernel version in terminal
<9> uname -a
<9> donofrio1, fdisk -l
<2> 2.6.15 #1 PREEMPT
<4> BINGO!
<4> DR-Evil: thanks
<4> DR-Evil: perfect
<4> why doesn't this work - mount -t auto /dev/hdf5 /mnt/windows?
<9> auto,is used for disk drives
<9> what for fs is the partition you want to mount ?
<4> like fd0?
<4> "/ dev "/ hdf2 * 6 14589 117145980 7 HPFS/NTFS
