I didn't delete my old extension and recently mounted it so I could retrieve the data. I was wondering if there was any way I could make it the extension to my current native without deleting any of the data? Or if attaching it as an extension was at all possible at this point.
View 9 RepliesI am setting up a LAMP server for my home LAN. I want to move the data out of / into a new disk partition for ease of backup and especially away from any clean installation I might do. What
I have in mind:
Shut down MySQL and Apache
Make a new partition, format as ext4
Mount new partition on /mnt
Copy all of /srv to /mnt
Copy MySQL stuff from /var/lib/mysql to /mnt/mysql
Update /etc/my.conf to point to /srv/mysql
Unmount /mnt
Update /etc/fstab to mount new partition on /srv
mount /srv
Start mysql, apache
Will a fresh install or upgrade keep its fingers out of /srv, in the same way as /home? Or will those parts of apache installed in /srv/www be updated?
I am currently trying to get my RadRails working. There are certain tasks I cannot complete and I'm guessing that installing mongrel and some other items would get everything going. I run the update and it seems to fail horribly and I've been looking on google for the last 2 hours to the answer to this one. This is there errors I have gotten so far.
By the way I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 if that makes any difference. I have already downloaded and installed sqlite3 and sqlite dev.
Code:

View 3 Replies View Relatedadobe was kind enough to release new versions of flash to deal with the recent 0day exploit which is all fine and good except they didn't release a 64bit version. as a matter of fact the 64bit alpha is no longer available for download and their forum for the 64bit version has been set to read-only.
i'm using slackware64 13.1. i began the process of getting nspluginwrapper working with the 32bit plugin but decided that it wasn't worth the hassle. rather than just dump flash altogether, am i making my box "safe enough" by using the flashblock extension for firefox? obviously, sites still can sniff for the flash version, but nothing will be displayed unless i click on it. basically i'd only be using it for stuff like videos and a few other major sites that should be trustworthy.
I got a hard drive with an image of an older redhat OS that i need to do some work with. The hard drive isnt bootable but i need to get into it somehow. I am not even close to an expert on these kinds of things, but i will provide the information that ive got.
fdisk -ul
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 149838254 74919096 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 149838255 156296384 3229065 5 Extended
[Code]....
The simplest way the occurs to me to do this is to virtualize the OS on it. So i installed hypervisor from yast, but (i think) it requires an image of the OS to virtualize it, not some partitions on a hard drive. Is there an easy way around this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a computer, that has the bad luck to be equipped with buggy hard-drives. Actually, they need a firmware update. This firmware update will probably destroy the data on them. I also want to add one or two other hard-drives to the RAID. What I am looking for, is a tool, that makes a clone of the system as it is now. And then, when I will have upgraded the disk firmware and added the other hard-drives, I just clone the system back from the clone.

sda8 /SUSE 11.2I then made some changes with gparted (from PartedMagic 5.5) to create an ntfs partition to simulate a condition where someone may want to delete that partition and use the free space for linux. I then deleted that partition, sda2 then sda5 (swap) and taking some screenshots, went about resizing partitions to use that free space and then recreate swap. the intention being to create a basic guide on how to go about this.I have previously only had my swap at the end of the extended partition, deleting itand recreating it later had caused little trouble.I realize that a resize/move operation would have been a better choice.What I was not expecting was the partition number changes that occurred.

I hate OSX. I have however gotten very used to the multitouch trackpad on my aluminum MacbookPro. So, I would like to blow away OSX and install Ubuntu native. I was wondering if I will loose multitouch capability if I do this though. Mainly 2 finger tap for right click, and two finger scroll. My MacbookPro is rev 5,2.Are there any other issues I should think about before taking the plunge?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed Koala 9.10 with Wubi, and have liked it enough to give it a "native" installation on a partition. I've been looking around at forums, and it seems the most attractive way, with LVPM, hasn't been tested officially with 9.10, and I can't find a post of anyone that has.
So, my question is, does anyone know the best way to upgrade my install to its own partition? My drive currently has 2 primary partitions (main Windows Vista OS, and a recovery) and one extended with a logical drive. I don't know whether to try the LVPM method, or try to just uninstall Wubi and install 9.10 after from the Live CD. But, the reason I went the Wubi route in the first place was the install/Live CD would hang when I got to the screen with the options to check the install disk (I had previously checked the hash, and it was fine), proceed without changing disk, etc. I think that is a problem with the install getting confused with my multiple drives/card readers, and not being able to find the correct one. Wubi had a similar problem giving me something like "please insert disk into drive X:", and I would have to just click over and over, each time X changing from one drive letter/number to the next, until the install just continued when it found the right drive.
So I installed Jaunty Jackallope and Im really liking it. The thing is when I installed I just let the system do the dual boot partition and I think it assigned Ubuntu a very small amount of hard drive space. Now I want to download some updates and it says it doesnt have enough free space (it only needs like 500 megs so I must have a real small partition). Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to reinstall?? If so, how do I uninstall and do it right?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat exactly allows me to create a custom tailored *.img file to backup the contents of a partition?
This is my problem: My wife wants me to backup some Windows NTFS partitions on her working computer so she can use them on a different computer.
This is my solution attempt:Boot the Gentoo based System Rescue CD. dd the contents of the data partitions into *.img files on an external usb drive. dd the contents of the *.img files onto the new computer.
So far that worked, but there's one annoying problem: one partition on the work computer is 50GB big, but contains only 8GB of data. It would be really nice if I could just dd out those 8GB of "real data" instead of having a 50GB *.img file that is mostly empty. Likewise, it would be cool if there's an easy way to match the contents of the *.img file to the size of the new partition. The new data partition is 100GB big so it would be cool if my backup were automatically scaled to that size so I don't have an 8GB partition and an additional 92GB partition.
Since I have upgraded to KDE 4.5 I can't play games (native or wine) without disabling composite before start playing.When I start a game its window begins to shiver (to tremble or to shake... not sure) and so I have to disable composite first and then relaunch the game.I never had to do this in KDE 4.4.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI play MMOs and need to be able to communicate in ventrilo with the guild and groups that I am in. I have never had any problems making windows games work in WINE as long as the appDB says they are good to go, but I have had an ongoing problem with Mangler in a few distros.
I have had an on going problem with my system and Mangler. I use a creative usb fatality headset. When I am in Windows it works fine for ventrilo. If I boot into Linux and load up Mangler I can get it to work, but then after a while no one can hear me, but I can hear them and the Mangler icon in the system tray turns yellow instead of green.
I have the audio settings in Mangler set for my USB head set. My head set will consistintly work in Audacity. When I go into the pulse audio settings and set the drop box down to my head set it will show default audio every time I go back into the audio settings. If I reboot then plug in the headset and then reste the drop down to head set it will work. If I open a game or something it will close sometimes other times I think it just takes time. I have had the same propblem on Ubuntu 10.04, Kubuntu 10.10, and openSUSE 11.4.
I can't set up the native resolution for the LED monitor of a Dell Inspiron 1564 laptop with openSUSE 11.2.YaST2 lists correct the graphics adapter as: "Intel Arrandale Integrated Graphics Controller" and the monitor having the resolution: 1366x768 However in /etc/X11/xorg.conf lists only modes with a 1024x768 resolution, which are not really "sharp" on the monitor Besides that it lists the Device as "Vesa-BIOS Graphics". Starting sax2 does not provide me with any option to change these settings (at least not in the graphics mode).
