View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to have 64 bit ubuntu, but wanted to try 32 bit to see if I can make a driver work. So, I installed it in a new partition. I'm now happy with my 32 bit installation and I want to remove the 64 bit partition to make room. My partitions atm are:
sda1 (ext4, 64 bit)
sda2
sda6 (ext4, 32 bit)

I have 2 linux installations with the same username in each of them, which are on different disks.I would like to create another partiton to use it as home for both distros(the one to be at /home/debian/username and the other at /home/suse/username e.g)First, is this possible? If yes how can I do it, and how much space is enough for the other directories? More details: The first distro is on a 82GB partition, and the second on a 21GB partition on another disk. I'm planning to use all 82GB partition for the shared /home and move both distros to the other disk's partition(in fact the one, the other is already there).So, I'm thinking to resize the 82G partition, to make free space for the /home partition(which filesystem is better to use?). Then to move my user of both distros there in folders /home/debian/username - /home/suse/username. After to resize 21GB partition(how much space is enough for debian?), and on new free space to move the other distro. And finally to resize again the new /home partition to use all 82GB.
And last, this way will be easy if I want to install another distro later, to use the home partition with the same form(/home/other-distro/username? Can I define this at distro's installation procedure?
this is a tar.gz file and i've installed it lately . i wanna take it out now in my system. but dont know so how dyou re move a software installed using ./configure make make install?

- packman 1-click
- packman individual package installations
- rpm installation
and I keep getting these errors
- libawn1>=0.2.6 needed by avant-window-navigator-0.2.6-6.45.x86_64
- libpython2.5.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by libawn1-0.2.6-6.45.x86_64
and believe me I have tried to find these and have tried even similar looking things, no luck this is getting my opensuse experience down.

SuSe 11.4 install problem. I've installed 11.4 and have the following sequence of events
Power on - dell hardware boot options
Grub
Choice of
Standard suse boot
Safe mode
Windows 1
Windows 2
Choosing standard goes through a boot sequence but leaves me with a invalid screen setting with a scrambled display. Are there any options I can provide grub with that will enable me to boot and trouble shoot the system?
Grub has
vga = 0x348
The graphics are
NVidia geforce 6150se
Monitor
Dell 22 inch widescreen
SuSE 11.1 worked fine and the windows side works fine.
I am not familiar with LVM at all, although I have successfully got it up and running in Slackware. What I would like to know is, could I create one Volume Group in a Physical Volume consisting at the moment of just one disk, and install separate Linux releases into Logical Volumes in this solitary VG? So, for example:
/dev/sda1 = Physical Volume
volgroup = Volume Group
lv01-root = Slackware root

I've installed some Linux distributions over the past few weeks, and I've recently noticed that previous installations of Linux have left my hard drive cluttered with numerous 4 GB swap partitions. I've since deleted them, but is there any way to avoid this a priori in the future?

I had Python 2.6 installed and upgraded to 2.6.6, but still got the error. What could I be doing wrong or what repositories are short on my openSuse 11.0 to have the installation work. I downloaded the correct version of vodafone for my system.

I want to remove the 11.2 grub and make the 11.1 grub master again, but I do not know where to change this, the MBR points to the 11.2 grub and changing menu.lst probably does not have any effect.

I've been dabbling into linux by installing Wubi on my main computer, out of ease to install, but I use windows to do many things I'm not sure if I could do as easily in linux. Anyway, I had a macbook before I got my new main computer, and have been wondering if I can install linux on my macbook to test out other distros without potentially endangering my main computer (out of complete idiocy on my part, of course). Is this possible? Is there any specific "guide" out to do this?

View 14 Replies View RelatedFor some reason from a fresh installation on Debian (Squeeze), Apt is telling me I no longer need the 'make' package and I can remove it. I find this extremely odd & random given I just built this O.S. Why would Debian want to remove such a package and since this is a fresh installation, is there something I did wrong?

Is it possible to install a different windows manager? Currently I am using an HP Netbook 210. The windows manager I am using is "gnome-shell" that comes as default with Fedora 15. However, I am wondering if I could completely remove this and install a different windows manager, such as Xfce 4.8. I am not talking about completely removing Fedora 15 and then installing Fedora 15 xfce spin. Just the window manager. How easy would it be to remove the gnome-shell windows manager and then install xfce 4.8 windows manager? Any steps to do this?

I run a virtual server with a standard minimal openSUSE 11.4 installation (Strato image) and all recent updates installed.
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux servername 2.6.18-028stab089.1 #1 SMP Thu Apr 14 13:46:04 MSD 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
A few days into running the server I found that although /usr/sbin/cron was running it didn't execute the cron scripts. Instead, I find this:
Code:
$ tail -n 3 /var/log/messages
Jun 28 18:00:01 servername /usr/sbin/cron[28590]: pam_warn(crond:session): function=[pam_sm_open_session] service=[crond] terminal=[cron] user=[root] ruser=[<unknown>] rhost=[<unknown>]
Jun 28 18:00:01 servername /usr/sbin/cron[28590]: (root) PAM ERROR (Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session)
Jun 28 18:00:01 servername /usr/sbin/cron[28590]: (root) FAILED to open PAM security session (Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session) repeated every 20 minutes.
I have this:
Code:
$ cat /etc/pam.d/crond
# The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon
# No PAM authentication called, auth modules not needed
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
account sufficient pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/cron.allow onerr=succeed quiet
auth include common-auth
account include common-account
password include common-password
As per the standard installation and /etc/cron.allow doesn't exist (I tested if it made a difference if it existed with the single line root in it, but there was no effect). I need cron to execute because I want zypper to auto-update my server. On my home openSUSE 11.4 installation the problem doesn't exist. Is it perhaps related to the settings in the yast security center?
