Fedora :: Virtually Merging Two Partitions?
Apr 18, 2010
Soon after I installed F12 I realized that I mixed / and /home partitions during the installation, resulting having an enormous / and a relatively small /home.
Since I want to avoid resizing the partitions*, is there any way to make Fedora use a certain amount of disk space on / as part of /home. Is this possible? And if it is, are there any drawbacks?
*I actually tried using a live usb but gparted wouldn't let me do any modifications. The volumes were unmounted though...

I had two ext4 partitions; one had data and another didn't. I wanted to merge them using Gparted, but couldn't find the option. So, I deleted the second partition making it unallocated and used the 'resize' option to merge both the partition. Now, the partitions are merged but I LOST THE DATA..
I am seriously f**ked up.... What can I do to get those data back. I haven't done anything to the partitions after data: no adding data, no formatting.

I recently popped in the CD that came with one of my textbooks from school and figured I would be able to rip it pretty easily, but guess what? Too my surprise I find that each chapter of the textbook has it's own PDF file and that each one is encrypted. Is there anyway I can decrypt the PDFs and merge them all into one?

I just got me a mac pro 8 core a couple days ago ( Which took forever to save up for). I have parallels installed on the mac and I wanted to know if it is ok to run Ubuntu server virtually in parallels. I got it working perfectly fine but I want to know if its fine for production, as my main use for it is as a web server.
BTW since the mac pro has 12 gigs of ram I allow 4 gigs to ubuntu server and 4 cores on the cpu to ubuntu server. So do you guys think it is fine to run Ubuntu Server 10.04 virtually?

I recently bought a 12-cell (extended-life) battery for my HP dv8000 AMD Turion64 laptop. While the extra battery life is spectacular, the machine is virtually unusable when not plugged in. Either the hardware or the OS (I'm not sure which) seems to view each of the 12 cells as a separate battery, so whenever a cell nears depletion and the machine prepares to transition to the next cell, the computer slows to a standstill, as though it were shifting into an extreme version of Powersave mode. This can last for several minutes at a time, during which period all I can do is stare helplessly at my screen.
I have all but disabled Powersave features in the Power Management applet, setting the laptop to Performance mode on both AC and battery power, with Powersave only kicking in below 10%. So that isn't the source of the problem. I have also disabled Compositing and all desktop effects, except the mouse pointer application-icon animations that appear when I open an application, which I can't figure out how to disable. All this to no avail.
Plug the machine back in and it zips along at a merry Linux pace. I don't want to keep it plugged in all the time, though, because a) this is a laptop and therefore should be mobile; and b) keeping a charged battery plugged in drastically shortens its battery life. Besides, this is a brand-new battery; it should still be working fine.

I have no internet in Linux due to my only way to get internet is through my blackberry curve phone sharing ( I think some call this tethering) internet to the pc. It works fine in winblows of course with the provided winblows software, so I booted over to Linux, fired up VMware workstation 6.5, set up the internet in it, and I have internet in my guest os in vmware which is 32 bit xp media center. I right clicked the connection from "network connections" and went to share this connection. Now I'd like to share it to my host os, 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 in Raid 0. Do I need to be using NAT or Bridged. I've set up internet sharing before but not virtually.

I just bought a USB thumbdrive and I installed Ubuntu on it. I want Ubuntu to connect to the internet with virtually any computer that boots from the USB. Is there a single package that will install drivers for nearly every wireless card there is so that I can connect to the internet with out a hassle?
I noticed that the Linux Mint website lists support for more wireless cards as a feature and I am curious whether I can do this for the Ubuntu on my thumbdrive.

I'm attempting to install a small application called Asymptopia Flashcard System on Xubuntu x64. It's unsupported and virtually unknown, so I don't know many details about it aside from what I can gather from the source files. The first step in the installation directions is to type "make lib_install" as root at the command line. I get this output:
Making libasymptopia.so ... compiling Path.C ... Path.C: In member function �void Path::listdir(char*, std::deque<char*, std::allocator<char*> >*): followed by a bunch of errors like this: Path.C:38: error: �strcmp� was not declared in this scope
all for the file Path.C, all of them complaining about various header files not being declared. I have the latest version of gcc installed, so I'm very confused about what the problem is. This application is at least a few years old...maybe there's something out-of-date about the way it includes the header files?

I want to make a little script/program/something that can organize my TV show collection. I'm italian, so I store for each episode the .mkv file and the .srt file. To let VLC automatic recognize the .srt file, I use the same name for the .mkv and the .srt.
That solution is quite optimal, but we can do better: a program that watches a directory and it's subdirectories and automatically runs mkvmerge if it detects files with the same name in the same folder.
I'm a Java programmer, so I can easily make a program that finds files with the same name and runs mkvmerge.... My problem is the directory listener. I found incron, but the problem is that it don't add the listeners to the subfolders of a folder.

I'm totally new to Linux and this website. I was wondering if anyone had or could help me create a shell script that would merge two files from two different directories and then have that new merged file in a third differnt directory.The merged file would need to eliminate duplicates and sort the contents.

"Merging" may not be quite the right word but that is the desired end result.
Scenario: many Solaris 10 servers, each with various local users. We want to set up LDAP for all for all of them. LDAP server is set up, procedure for getting other servers to use it for user authentication is documented and tested. The question is how to handle users that are in LDAP who also exist as a local user on a given machine.
It appears that the usernames on both sides follow a convention and therefore match but obviously the userids will not match. Local user joe has userid 1234, LDAP user joe has userid 56789.
The way I see it we'll have to:
1. move local user joe's home directory to the path that LDAP user joe will want
2. change local user joe's userid to that of LDAP user joe
3. change joe's files' owner to his new userid
4. remove local user joe
5. finally configure LDAP
Is this a rational procedure? Is there a more effective method? I'm not looking forward to this as there are many servers and each of them have a different set of local users, each with different userids which will have to be handled manually and individually therefore not even scriptable much.

How does coalescing of requests takes place during merging if the following scenario occurs.. say request for sector number 3 and 5 already exists...and a new request for sector 4 arrives, then if it front merges with 5, will it also back merge (i.e coalesce in this case) with 3 ? if it happens ..which functions are called? and how do we get to know whether a single merge or multiple merges have taken place?
references : blk-core.c, elevator.c, deadline_iosched.c all under /block.

I have multiple strings (eg. say two, firstLIST=(0 1 2) and secondLIST=(2 3)) and want to create a single string composed of their unique sorted elements. For the sample strings above, I'd like to build masterLIST=(0 1 2 3).I suppose I could write the elements of firstLIST and secondLIST to files
Code:
echo ${firstLIST[@]} > firstFILE
echo ${secondLIST[@]} > secondFILE
then use
Code:
sort firstFILE secondFILE | uniq > masterFILE
as this gives me a file populated with the elements I'm after, but I'm not sure how to read the elements back into masterLIST... and it doesn't seem "right" to create files to accomplish this. Is there a way to do this by manipulating the strings ${firstLIST[@]} and ${secondLIST[@]} directly? The closest I've come (not close at all) is
Code:
masterLIST=${firstLIST[@]}" "${secondLIST[@]}
but masterLIST built this way has only one element
Code:
$echo ${masterLIST[@]}
0 1 2 2 3
$echo ${#masterLIST[@]}
1
and I don't have access to the individual digits to then try to figure out how to remove duplicates.

I have a latex code file which links itself to many other latex files. The syntax is as follows:input{*path of file to be inputed*}The path is relative to the current working directory, so if my file is stored in /home/kevin/mybook.tex and I want to include a file in /home/kevin/latexstuff/copyleft.tex I simply write:input{latexstuff/copyleft.tex}
The latex compiler includes these files just as if they had been copied and pasted into the main latex file at the point specified. My problem is that I have a document which depends on quite a bit of these input commands,ut I am trying to use a latex preprocessor (ratexdb, adds database fields to your latex documentshich does not support input commands, leaving my file only half processed.So I was wondering: is there any easy way to parse through my main file, detect only the input commands, interpret the syntax and include the files specified (where specified)nd produce a second, populated file, which can then be processed by ratexdb?

During the past eight years I've used a number of computers with different operating systems and browsers. On each one I made a habit of using the bookmark utility of each browser and saving the bookmarks file. I never ensured the continuity of the bookmark file - with each new computer I started a new bookmark file. Even when I was reinstalling the operating system I didn't import the old bookmark file in the newly installed browser: I've always started a new bookmark file. As a result I have tens of bookmark files for Firefox (json format - some kind of xml?) and IE (html file format?) each one containing hundreds or thousands of saved links. I have also some files containing links in text format (created usually when I was using someone else computer).
I would like to be able to manage this bookmarks files by using some sort of "bookmark manager" software. The "bookmark manager" should be able to merge the bookmark files into a single collection/file. It should be able to identify and remove the duplicate entries (I have timely versions of the same bookmark file) and also it should be able to group the entries/links on categories (for example the bookmarked articles on codeproject.com should be grouped under the codeproject category). Not to mention that it should provide a search facility to quickly locate the interesting bookmarks. I couldn't find such software in ubuntu software center. Do you know something that even comes close to what I need?

I am very new to LVM, as well as not especially experienced at linux, and have some questions about how lvm works. A few months back I set up a server running FC10 and tried creating Logical Groups during the the initial setup. We've realized that we are not using all the available space on the physical drive, and I realized that for some reason (I'm thinking this might have been the default?), we initially created two Logical Groups (VolGroup00 and VolGroup01) and it appears two Logical volumes in each (LogVol00 and LogVol01). LogVol00 in VolGroup00 is mapped to /, and the other Group was actually unused. I figure that it would be simplest to just use all this space mapped to /, so I thought the thing to do would be to simply merge VolGroup01 to VolGroup00. I tried this:
[root@office mapper]# vgmerge VolGroup00 VolGroup01
Logical volumes in "VolGroup01" must be inactive
So after a bit of research, I tried this:
[root@office mapper]# vgchange -a n VolGroup01
Can't deactivate volume group "VolGroup01" with 1 open logical volume(s)
So apparently There's an open volume, but I don't know how to go about closing it. I removed the LogVol00 from that group, but LogVol01 won't budge.
[root@office mapper]# lvremove VolGroup01
Can't remove open logical volume "LogVol01"
So how do I go about closing this Volume? At one point, there was some output that told me LogVol01 was being used as swap space. How do I handle that?

What i am trying to do is i want to add numbers from 1 to 100. but that too using multiprocessing. So i made a c programme and using fork() command made two child processes. Now in one child process i am adding from 1 to 50. and in another i am adding 51 to 100. and then in the parent process adding the two results to get the final one. Now the result from the two function i am getting correctly. But after the wait() call the value returned is lost : See the programme below for reference
# include<stdio.h>
# include<unistd.h>
# include<sys/wait.h>
# include<stdlib.h>

I used Ubuntu before, without problems but since the 10.04 version it won't recognize my partitions. I formated my laptop and partitioned it, installed Windows 7 64bit, which I need for my work, and wanted now to install Ubuntu 10.04/10. I then used GParted to check my Harddisk and it is having troubles to recognize my partitions, too while Windows finds them. GParted is giving me an error message saying my partitions are oversized. I am still in the beginning of my Linux experiences and so I don't know what to do. I have two 250GB harddisks (how Windows recognizes them),
