I have a basic question regarding how to clean up linux disk space. I use "df" to check my disk and found out usage is 100%. SO I use "du -b | sort -r -n > tmp.txt" and found out that /var/spoon/clientmqueue/ has taken the biggest disk space. I deleted the file in that directory using "rm". But after that, I run "df" again, still got 100% usage.

I present have my 35-odd GB HDD partitioned:
6GB for Ubuntu
28 for Data
and 1. or so for swap
evidently I underestimated my Ubuntu partition.
what can I do now?
I have run Computer Janitor (is that the application that results from Sudo apt-get clean? I did that but couldn't figure out how to "clean"?)
I have Gparted installed but I don't see how to use the Move/Resize option.
I have an old Hauppauge card of some kind that I use to pull in my Dish Network stream to my PC in my office. I use mplayer or sometimes VLC to view it, but with the World Cup coming up I anticipate the need to pause Live TV or replay certain situations. What's is the best lightweight solution to accomplish this? Do I need MythTV, Xine, Freevo?
View 3 Replies View RelatedLogical Memory Space of 4GB is divided in to 3GB User Space and 1GB Kernel Space. Always. Correct?
1. How can we change it? (just changing value of PAGE_OFFSET is okay?)
2. If system have only 256MB of memory (embedded system) and suppose Kernel Modules eat away all the memory during boot. User space will be left will no memory. Is this case possible?
I am completely new to OpenSuse and just installed it. However, I wanted things encrypted for work and chose LVM2 with password encryption upon installation.However, I didn't change any of the values.Now I see that my home partition is only about 30 Go and I cannot mount the oter 300GB that sit on another partition.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn a 32-bit system, max memory addressable is 4GB. Now Linux kernel does memory mapping division of 1GB for kernel address space and 3GB for user address space. That means 4GB of virtual address space is divided between kernel (1GB) and user (3GB).
Q1. All virtual mapping utilizes the available physical RAM without any division? I mean to say that if RAM is 512MB then a page in kernel space can lie any where RAM (leave aside old PCI dma accesses)? (How this fits to fact that kernel memory is non-pageble)
Q2. If a process is created in user space, it has visibility 4GB address space or 3GB address space?

how can you remove all the makefiles and whatnot and basically restore the source package to its original form after you've called "./configure" or even "make" ?
for instance you changed the source code then you ran ./configure then make then make install ....etc you checked the software and it functioned as you expected it does , now you want to remove all the makefiles and all that other jizz that you don't need or want anymore in the source (obviously in order to package it for distribution)
what is the "standard" method for doing so?
I run Linux Slackware 13.1. I have a hard drive with a ext2 filesystem, and I would like to mark the filesystem as Clean without running FSCK on it.
