View 3 Replies View RelatedAlternate Heading: Unable to use opensuse partitioner to fully format a Seagate 1Tb drive OK. Swapped over a motherboard to increase the number of slots available for hard drives so that I could expand my raid array (4 X 1Tb drives). Discovered I had no thermal paste so all delayed for 24 hours while I bought some, miscalculated on rebuild and had to reinstall OpenSuse but in the end system is now up and running. Unfortunately when I formatted my new 1Tb drive (Seagate) it formats to 931.50 Gb while the other 4 drives formatted to 931.51 Gb (they are WD). I'm now in the position that when I try to add this new drive I get :
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 not large enough to join array
Is there any way I can resize the existing devices down to 931.50 Gb so that I can add in the new drive without having to restore the array?
I've spent hours trying to scan + shrink a multipage PDF documentlosing readability. This is the first time I've ever needed to do this! (I had to scan each page as ".jpg" in order to email and open on another computer, so I could not scan to PDF directly, which I think is why each page was so large; lower DPIs made the text too blurry.)I found this great tip on UbuntuGeek...but anyone can do this if GhostScript is installed:

2 sets of skype logs on work PC (Windows) - and I forgot to take a copy when I finished the assignment - and on my own Slackware PC. Would be very useful to be able to have only one set (and same for instant message logs) on my usb memory stick. Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have F8 system that I have installed a fair amount of software on. When I started to install F10 I discovered that the file system is LVM (F8 default) which takes the entire disk (80G). I want to keep the F8 install but add F10 so I can migrate things to F10. So I need to:
1. Back up the system to USB HD so I can restore if things go wrong. Prefer to backup to a non-LVM partition (if that's reasonable). I don't really have any critical data but want to preserve the software installs and configurations that I have spent a lot of time sorting out.
2. Reduce the LVM partition to 20 G to make room for F10 and leave some unallocated space - say 30G for F10 and 30G unalocated.
3. Install F10 (on non-LVM partition) and keep both bootable. I have heard this may involve editing some grub files.
I have used SystemRescueCD a little and want to be able to use it on the F10 partition.
When I try to login as me - it gets pretty far but then something happens and automatically logs out. This happens in Gnome, Kde too. Now - I have no problem logging in a Root. Is there a way I can try to stop the login process before it kicks me out, or is there a way to look at some files to tell me what's going on?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to increase the message_size_limit on my Debian 2.4.26 box with postfix 2.3.8. For example, I set message_size_limit and mailbox_size_limit to 104857600 (100m) and restart postfix. Running postconf -n confirms that it has changed. However when I send a test message it kicks it back saying the message size limit is 16777216 (16m, which is, incidentally, the default value of the berkeley_db_create_buffer_size parameter)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a netbook and one of the suggested optimizations was to reduce the use of swap.I've noticed on my desktop and conventional laptop that it is quite usual for the swap file to be used even when memory usage is low (25% of available memory).I'm looking for some advise on the best way to set up a conventional desktop or laptop as my understanding is that the use of a swap file will slow the system responsiveness down. Can I use a version of the above to improve performance and reduce swap usage?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Ubuntu 8.04, when I wanted to reduce the boot menu delay I had to do the following:
enter in terminal: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
I then looked for the line that begins with timeout and changed the value (shortened the delay)
Now with ubuntu 10.10, when I tried this I do get into the Gedit text editor as with 8.04 but it is completely blank, no entries at all? So nothing to change! So how do I change the boot menu delay in ubuntu 10.10?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI run Fedora FC13-x64. Recently I added a few TB's of RAID5 storage tto my server and moved most data from the root filesystem to that. Now my root volume is way too big. My basic install resulted in a 1TB LVM volume group entirely dedicated to a single lv_root.
Now I want to make room and eventually clone this disk to a much smaller root disk. I see many threads about reducing the size of an LVM logical volume. My first steps were succesful. I used lvreduce and resize2fs to reduce the size of the logical volume and filesystem. I also user pvreduce to reduce the size of the physical volume group.
But still gparted and fdisk report the physicalk volume (/dev/sde2) as 900GB. The embedded LVM stuff is as small as 60GB. Anyway LVM manager and GParted doe not allow me to shrink /dev/sdf2 to snuggly fit the LVM stuff in it.
I'm wondering if there is a way to shrink an ext3 LV mount as / .I tried to with resize2fs ... but seems that isn't possible if the partition is mounted.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Precision M6400 laptop with an Intel Core2 Duo 2.8 GHz processor.I have set Power Management to performance when on AC power and have also written a script that calls cpufreq-set to set the lower and upper limits to 2.80 GHz (cpufreq-info output below).However, sometimes when doing some heavy work the frequency suddenly gets reduced to 1.60 GHz on both cores and I cannot set them back to 2.80 GHz using the script (cpufreq-set says errors occurred). Performance is then totally gone and I have to reboot. The same script then works fine after a reboot.What is setting the lower limit back down to 1.60 GHz even though I set it to 2.80 GHz using my script? How can I stop/configure this or prevent it from happening?

I have a Canoscan LiDE 30 scanner which works fine in Linux. I haven't used it in months, and never since moving from Jaunty x86_64 to Fedora 11 x86_64. This evening I suddenly need to scan two pages to send to someone via e-mail, and the recipient is desperate to receive them. Naturally, Xsane has decided this is the moment to screw me.
The problem: I cannot figure out how to tell Xsane that the page size is 8.5 11. It insists on scanning only the left side, 3.99 x 11. I cannot find a page size anywhere in any of the buttons.
In Preview I once got it to scan the entire page, but could not figure out how to save the image to file. Subsequently I have not been able to figure out how I did it. In any event, scanning from the small main window always scans 3.99 x 11. Adjusting the scan area manually in the Preview window allows me to change the size area in the small main window to 8.5 x 11, but when I then scan from the small main window it reverts to 3.99 x 11.
I have scanned the document a hundred times at least, each time trying different buttons, but nothing has succeeded in getting the full page.

I ask this, because if you update your packages, and if a configuration file cannot be automatically merged, you will have two configuration files: /etc/config.rpmnew (or .rpmsav, I don't remember) and /etc/config.code...
I currently run kernel 2.6.34.7-66.fc13.i686 (sort of). When I select from the Gnome menu System -> Shutdown and select Shutdown from the dialog, my system only logs out, presenting me with the greeting screen. While this is a minor problem and I rarely shutdown my machine, it is mildly disconcerting.I have dropped back to 2.6.34.7-63.fc13.i686 and that shutdowns properly using this method. (Also, 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686 works properly). I can imagine that it might close some security issue in which an unauthorized user is able to halt the entire machine. Especially if this is something that will continue in future releases of the kernel.
