<0> which of those is the best?
<1> hi, can i use parted to resize my partition?
<2> Bitz: don't know about partd specifically, but you generally need to resize the filesystem separately from the partition.
<2> If your filesystem is ever bigger than your partition, you're asking for trouble.
<3> Bitz: i think parted can change filesystem and partition for you in one command, provided the fs is supported
<1> ok, i want to resize the root partiton and i hope it doesn't destory my data, will it?
<2> Larger, or smaller?
<4> parted should be safe for the supported filesystems..
<1> what is best way to increase the size of my existing ext3 partition with losing any data?
<2> I think you're on the right track.
<2> Anyway, you have a backup, right?
<4> use parted to resize the partition. it should also be able to grow the fs, or just use resize2fs
<1> what about growfs?
<3> qtparted is the easiest GUI for resizing IMO
<4> Bitz: there isn't a growfs per se for ext2/3
<5> Installed Dapper and restored my firefox profile. I restored it from a Windows profile and it actually worked. Only problem is that when I try to play a flash game, it gets stuck in a loop and eventually closes ff, when I try to use a java applet, it just closes ff while loading.
<6> hey I have a domain name, and now i need to point to a valid NS how do I register my server as a name server?
<7> You will need to add a record to the register telling it that your IP is the primary nameserver.
<7> Who did you register with?
<6> goaddy
<7> ok, let me look at their site and see if I can find the instructions.
<6> koo
<7> http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=664&topic_id=163&&;
<7> May I ask why you would not want to use godaddy's name servers? I used to run my own DNS and it was not particularly fun.
<7> How do I make an ISO image from a CD?
<8> scholar01: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso
<8> :D
<7> thanks
<8> that's my way to do it at least
<7> Does that conform to the ISO standard?
<8> have no idea, it makes a raw image of the cd and it works with anything that handles .iso files
<7> Doesn't matter, only I will be using it.
<8> mounting, burning....
<7> darn, I got an IO error.
<7> how do I mount this image to the lo?
<9> what command should i use i f i want to compress a directory wi many files and subdirectoryes in it, tar -cjvfr ?
<9> with*
<10> tar cvf archive.tar dir/
<10> tar cvzf archive.tar.gz dir/
<9> enderst: thx
<10> np
<11> i have a root jail with sftp, is there any way to stop a user logging into sftp and stopping them from seing anything outside of their home directory (ie. they cant do an ls /)
<9> does anyone how do to configure the folder i wish to use on a proftpd server?
<12> hello, does anyone use sshfs to mount user directories?
<13> my pop mail got corrupt, but i have a month old backup, i still have all my mail on gmail - but it won't re-download into Mail - does anyone know of some way i can reset some flag on the last month of emails within gmail so that it will redownload into Mail?
<14> dark_x_y: gotta believe theres a config file in /etc somewhere
<9> yes it is , proftpd.conf
<14> uncreative: mark mail as new?
<9> but i realy do not find ,or i do not recognize the line that sets the home directory
<13> DrBair: it is new - i never opened it within gmail
<9> sry but it is the first time to use a ftp server on linux..
<15> Hello all
<15> Newbie question my admin is miising in action and i needed to putty into my server. I can get ito root dir but i want the directy above it so i can see all the other files but I cant seem to get cd to take me there
<15> amy i doing something wrong
<8> cd ..
<8> or cd / to go to the filesystem root
<15> cd with the spce?
<8> yes
<8> cd is the command, .. is the argument
<15> god thnak you
<8> no problem
<15> how do i run an .sh command
<8> sh yourcommand.sh
<15> ty
<16> is there a command that simply causes the terminal to beep?
<15> what command restarts a linux server
<16> brothergrim: on most linuxi, "reboot" seems to work
<15> yep
<15> lol
<16> brothergrim: but "shutdown -r now" will work on almost all unixi
<17> anyone recommend me some great links to learn Linux from start?
<16> bah... idlers
<18> hmmm, idling...
<16> it seems to me like a lot of people consider ubuntu to be for weenies... any thoughts?
<18> ubuntu is aimed to be user friendly
<18> wannabe kiddies consider themselves to be macho, just because they know how to type something in a terminal
<16> ananke: that's how I feel about it...
<16> I think it's silly that so many people think that just because I optimize by having icons on my desktop instead of openning a terminal for everything that something is wrong...
<18> you do whatever is right for you
<16> I was just wondering if there was something crippled about ubuntu that I wasn't aware of beyond it being easier to use...
<8> whatever floats your boats, yanks your chain or.. uh.. something..
<18> that's why the technology and choice is there. you can pick whatever suits your needs
<8> personally, the only desktop I've found that I really enjoyed is BeOS..
<16> I've always wanted to try that, but never had the chance... that runs on x86, right?
<18> twobitsprite : there's nothing crippled; however, ubuntu does use a rather non-standard approach among linux distros: by default use of sudo is favored over having a root account
<8> too bad it's barely developed
<8> twobitsprite: x86 and ppc for the "old" beos.. only x86 for ZetaOS which is the "new name"
<16> ananke: I always have setup my debian/slackware systems to be sudo only...
<18> as far as i know, it's not developed anymore. there's a 'fork' like os, zeta i think, which tries to pick up from one of the earlier versions of beos
<16> ananke, Zider: maybe I'll throw it on this 8gig I have sitting around...
<8> ananke: they bought all the code and continued development
<18> twobitsprite : good practice. i just now am getting to setting up proper sudo on my servers, with junior admins arriving
<16> I've heard it was pretty lightweight
<8> afaik
<16> ananke: I mostly set up sudo to protect me from myself :P... disable root, set up my personal user for basic stuff (vi, etc) and have a third user with full sudo privaleges...
<18> this week i'll be setting up a skeleton /etc/sudoers for use on our servers. another thing i need to do is some kind of versioning system for config files, most likely will use rcs for that
<8> zetaos has just come out with v1.2
<16> never thought of versioning my config files... I've always just stuck with backups, but rcs would probably be a lot better...
<16> anyways... time for bed...
<18> twobitsprite : well, in this case rcs will also be used for quick backups
<19> hey all
<20> I have a rather silly question, but how would I make a script (that's clickable) to execute two programs at once o.O?
<21> Bash scripting 101.
<21> #!/bin/bash
<21> command 1 &
<21> command 2 &
<20> i need to take bash scripting 101
<20> :P thanks
<21> google for that 'advanced bash guide' it is a MUST read/bookmark/read again and again.
<20> ok will do
<20> thanks :)
<21> the thing to note is the & at the end of the lines (well at least the first line)
<21> that makes the command "run in the background"
<21> so the 2nd command can then get ran
<20> oh, yes. Before I was doing command && command, that didnt work
<20> but this worked perfectly
<21> the && is a special case.. that i.. err cant rember what its used for. :P lol
<21> i think
<20> heh
<21> see - even I need to reread that guide.
<21> I got a copy of it in HTML form loaded onto my PlayStation Portable.
<20> I got it bookmarked now, I'll definitely read it
<20> will come in handy i'm sure
<20> :P
<22> dr_willis: did you put linux on the PSP?
<21> Nope just using its web browser.
<20> PSP's are pretty cool
<22> dr_willis: hooked up to a cell phone/
<20> my friend has one, lol.
<21> i updated my psp firmware - so i cant easially hack the thing. :(
<21> i normally just watch videos on it.
<22> dr_willis: how well does it do PDF?
<22> or does it at all?
<21> unix_infidel: Not at all. :P
<22> damn, see otherwise i wouldve totally bought one tomorrow.
<21> the ABS guide/html looks ok. once i learned how to make it access a local file.
<21> Yea. sony could of done Sooo much with the thing. but like apple. they want to be controll freaks
<21> that Nokia770 may be a better tool for you.
<22> oh hell no.
<22> that things not worth the money.
<21> If you say so. ive just been keeping an eye on them. cost is more then a PSP - but its Much more flexable for 'work'
<21> But i just want to be able to watch all kinds of videos i download and read html/docs/books and so forth.
<21> psp - is good at videos.. but annoying in ways
<22> dr_willis: hmmm. i like my laptop just fine :)
<22> terrible battery life though.
<22> relatively.
<22> (compared to like a PDA or PSP or internet tablet etc etc)
<21> PSP gets decent battery life i will admit. :P
<21> of course my old B/W palm has better.. but its also 4+ yrs old. :P and slow and cant do diddle.
