Software :: Preparing System To Install Qouta?
Mar 24, 2010
I wanted to configure my server for users that can have access to php/mysql database but with the limited harddrive space i have
i cant do unlimited space per user. So i decided to install qouta, i got this guide from : [URL] But in this guide that tells me to configure my system partitions to use qouta its says i should edit fstabs. Quota support is enabled as the filesystems are mounted, and so it must be specified in the options section of your /etc/fstab file. Specifying the quota options is as simple as adding usrquota for per-user quota, or grpquota for per-group quotes in the options column. For example this first entry without quotas:
/dev/hda1 /home ext2 defaults 1 1
Would become the following with per-user quotas enabled:
/dev/hda1 /home ext2 defaults,usrquota 1 1
Once this has been added you can remount the partition by rebooting, and install the software. This will setup the partitions to be mounted with quota support enabled, however you haven't enabled them for the running system.
My current fstab:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
[code]....
As far as my knowledge goes my /home/ directory entry is located on /dev/hda2/ where the / parition is mounted.
1. What do i put in my fstab. Do i edit it use quota on /dev/hda2 (Where my root partaition is mounted). ?
2. How do i get to know on what partition (/dev//dev/hda2?, /dev/hda2?.) my home directories of the users are?
3. Can i reload fstab without having to reboot my machine? (I like keeping my uptime as high as possible )
4. Do i need to know any more stuff that u guys can give me involving risks of badly configuration or handling this matter?

I'm using a EeePC 1000H and wanted to upgrade 8.10 to 10.10.[URL].. I chose to do a new install.
The following partitions are present:
- WindowsXP, 2 NTFS partitions
- ext3 where 8.10 sits. It is of EasyPeasy-flavour (no other version available at that time)
- hidden partition where WinPE resides
I downloaded the ISO and put it on a USB stick (4GB). Booting works fine. Using it as a live-system works fine as well. Problem came when I want to install it. The process hangs at "Preparing to install Ubuntu-Netbook" after clicking "forward". Nothing happens afterwards. In the menubar a crash-report detected-notification appears, saying: Quote:
The problem cannot be reported: The program crashed on an assertion failure, but the message could not be retrieved. Apport does not support reporting these crashes Unfortunately no other information available.[URL].. but not the same hardware. The thread there seens bot to be of much use anyway, therefore this new post.

I had an old laptop which ran Slackware-current, but it died. As a replacement I got a great Toshiba Qosmio laptop with Win7 SP1.
Now 13.37 is nearing, and I would like to install it on a dual-boot setting with Win7.
My previous laptop was a 1.5 GHz Celeron M single core, 32-bit only. You might guess it wasn't exactly a speed demon.
However, this laptop has as a CPU a Centrino Intel Core 2 Duo T5450, which is 64-bit capable. Therefore, I would like to ask the following:
* Which one is better: 32 or 64 bit Slack?
* If the answer is 64 bit, what is the difference multilib makes?
* If I choose to install the 64-bit version of Slack, should I take some special precautions, or are there some things I must have in mind regarding its difference with 32-bit Slack?
Notes:
1. When I talk about 64-bit Slack, I'm meaning the official 64-bit Slackware Linux (i.e., not BlueWhite64 or similar).
2. When I am speaking about multilib, I'm meaning the multilib setup of AlienBob.

I have a pc that has 500GB of hard disk space, I want to install centos and use it has a dev box for java/web applications. Keeping in mind the end us of the box, what partition structure makes the most sense?
I was thinking:
/ -- 150 GB*
/var -- 10 GB
/data -- 340 GB**
*Since there will be a bunch of apps i.e. apache, mysql, vsftpd, postfix, trac, samba, alfresco, and icescrum or agilefant
**For all other files i.e. java/war/jar files, svn directory, backups, samba share

Now 13.37 is nearing, and I would like to install it on a dual-boot setting with Win7. In my other laptop, I dual-booted it with XP SP3, and I remember partitioning the HDD, then putting LILO on the first sector of the root partition (instead of putting it on the boot sector).Now, I have to dual boot it with Win7 and therefore I ask: What is the best strategy for dual-booting? Are there some caveats that I need to be aware of?

I have downloaded the Ubuntu 10.04-netbook iso file and now want to prepare a USB drive to boot from, so that I can run Ubuntu on my Acer netbook. I used WinRAR to extract the file to the desktop. When I try to locate the file through Universal USB Installer it doesn't show up in the window.

In a few days I'll be getting Windows 7 and a new hard drive, hoping to dual boot W7 and 10.10. I'm really just looking for confirmation before I go ahead and install anything and mess things up. I have three hard drives. Windows will go on a 1TB HD, Ubuntu will take up part of a separate 500gb drive, and the other 500GB is NTFS storage. Installing both OS from scratch, so I'll format those disks with gparted before installing Windows and then Ubuntu. How should I format the Windows disk? A single primary NTFS partition?
And for Ubuntu, does this look right?:
15gb primary ext4 for root
XXGB ext4 for /home
4gb swap (to match RAM)
Am I missing anything?

Just bought a new computer that I will use as server:
Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H motherboard
AMD Phenon II 1090T
16 Gb RAM
4 x Seagate 2Tb hard disks
I tried to install Ubuntu server 10.04 and 10.10, both 64 bit, having similar results. Also I have tried enabling and disabling the RAID card. On 10.04 installer hangs preparing disk partitioning phase at 43%, on 10.10 hangs at the same stage 45%. Must I download something and apply before that phase?

I'm trying to mount an external DVD +RW Drive so I can burn a directory from my Linux Server to disk. I think I've figured out how to mount the drive, but it only works when there's a disk with data in the drive. When I enter mount /dev/scd1 /mnt I'm able to read from the drive, no problem. When I try to do the same thing, however, with a blank disk I get the following message: "mount: you must specify a filesystem type" So I'm assuming I need to prepare the disk somehow. I've verified that the dvd+rw-tools package is installed on the RH server but I'm not sure what the next step is.

My problem is that I need to move a moderately complex system from an old system to a new system. The old system is a core 2 duo running on an asus p5k-se (p35 chipset) M/B, Nvidia 8500 gt, 3 x sata II hard disks, 1 x sata dvd, 1 x ide hd, 4GB ram. It runs opensuse 11.1 kde 4 as a desktop system + samba server, apache server, database server + other non-opensuse software. In addition some of the opensuse software is not the default 11.1 versions as later versions were required. The nvidia driver is from the nvidia repo. There are several file systems, some under LVM.
The new system will be a core5 760, asus p7p55d-e M/b (p55 chipset), nvidia 240, 3 x sata II HD, 1 x sata dvd, 4GB ram and possibly 1 x ide HD. This M/B also includes USB 3 & sata III. I have no USB 3 devices but this may eventually change. I have no plans for sata III and believe that it may be better to attach any sata III SSD to the sata II bus.
What I would like to do is to move the hard disks from old system to the new system. What I would like to know is, if the system is left at 11.1, is the system likely to work with the new hardware. If the answer is no, if the system was upgraded to 11.3, would the transfer of the hard disks then work? In order to upgrade from 11.1 to 11.3 using the DVD i believe I should get rid of all non-default repos. I assume that I should also get rid of anything that was installed from them, e.g. the nvidia driver and any software versions installed manually outside RPM. Also is there any default 11.1 software that should be removed either before or after the upgrade to 11.3

I have a Wubi installation of Ubuntu 9.10 and am trying to upgrade to 10.04. The download of everything went fine, but it has stuck on the "installing the upgrades" part, about halfway through it keeps saying "Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic". It keep repeating this constantly. The status bar says "Preparing memtest86+" with about 14 minutes remaining.

I tried to update one of my home machines with a fresh install. This is far from new to me so I did not expect any problem. But I was proven wrong. First: did install the system as usual. First anomaly: system blocked during the install process but did restart it flawlessly one I tried to eject the DVD from the player. It needed actually that intervention to retake working. It then went to install and froze during the first system start. I rebooted with failsafe settings, it then correctly configured. I reached a beautiful desktop. I performed the updates from the update repository and I joined the nvidia proprietary driver repository (which updated to the G02 driver).
I then rebooted the machine and now I am in trouble. In normal mode the system (dual boot Opensuse, XP) does not boot at all and freezes immediately after hitting enter as before. In safe mode it goes further but does not reach X anymore. It blocks with the following line statement: "system console stolen at line 266". I then tried "startx". But the system goes into a scrolling loop that does not allow me to read the output. how to get at least the error message of the loop? I read some line passing by that the system might have an X11 authorization problem.

Former system installed and running flawlessly: 11.1

Ive an IBM Thinkpad T41 that im hoping to isntall Ubuntu on. I installed it with dual boot as windows xp was already on it and all went fine. Now Ive downloaded the lastest Ubuntu release and burnt it to disk. I have several spare hard drives that will slot internally into my Thinkpad Most if not all are formated to NTFS My question is, and believe me i have search for days about this. From what I have searched, -I dont need to format this drive to ext3 to install ubuntu? -However any drives Ive tried all NTFS and tried booting from the CD just cause my installation to hang, just boots to a black screen -The same CD will allow me to install a dual boot so I know its not the Disk. Do i need to format my drive first? I dont want a dual boot system I just want a fresh install

I'm new to openSUSE, this is the first time i try to install openSUSE version 11.4. on my IBM Thinkpad T43 (on which SUSE Linux version 8.0 has been running before without problems). I have downloaded the ISO images and successfully burned the ISO images on a blank DVD. Having placed my openSUSE DVD in the drive and rebooted my laptop I can see the boot screen.
I then select installation with arrow up/down and press enter. Choosing language and keyboard layout works fine, as well as accepting the license agreement. However, when it comes to 'System Probing' the installation stops at 'Search for system files'. The cursor shows a little turning disk but the rest of the screen is blocked.

we have a server running with Suse linux many years. Meanwhile we changed server hardware about 4 times, mostly also updating to newest Suse version. We used to copy group, passwd and shadow to a backup medium, installed the new system and restored those files onto the new system and all was running fine. Now, some weeks ago we installed 11. on new hardware and after restoring those 3 files after rebooting the system hangs when starting GUI. I can boot into runlevel 3 and login with no problem, but when I boot into runlevel 5 mouse and keyboard are frozen. Also when starting GUI from runlevel 3 with startx mouse and keyboard immediately freeze. If I restore the files group, passwd and shadow as they came from fresh new installation I can reboot and login in runlevel 5 without problems.
OK, if I compare the userlist, as it is generated bei installation,there are some usernames I formerly not had in older Suse versions. I don�t know if this can make problems? I tried to edit the files, to combine the system users from 11.2 with the list of local user names from the old system but without success, again the mouse and keyboard freeze.So some questions arise:1) Why now mouse and keyboard freeze in xsystem, when there are changes in the user list (but only in runlevel 5)2) What is the correct way to save and restore users and groups from old to new system. I googled several hours but did not find a smart way. Maybee someon can point me to a link or a howto where I find the solution

Trying to get Fedora 12 installed normally on a laptop, but it's hanging at the aforementioned point during installation. The mouse cursor is movable and the system appears to be fully working. The progress bar isn't moving and there is nowhere to either shut down the PC or access the terminal?? I cannot check any progress or see any log of what the installation program is trying to do.
It's a P4 laptop with ~700mb of ram. This is a fresh install from the i386 DVD distro. Why is it so hard to get a running system in linux when Windows or Mac is ready to go in about an hour? I've spent a good 3 hours trying to find my way around this latest problem and I am SO close to giving up. What a waste of my time linux has been so far.

I need to somehow do a yum installation (or equivalent of) on a system that is offline with no access to the internet. (I do have access to another Linux system that has internet access, but the Linux installations on both systems have different packages installed and enabled.)
Let's say the command to enter is 'yum install pkg1 pkg2 pkg3' (the documentation for some applications I need indicate the installation instructions this way, and not as the actual RPMs I need). Is there a way for me to run that on my offline system?
e.g. one way I can think of is to run that command on the online system, somehow if possible take note of what RPMs get installed, then transfer them to the offline system via USB and install all the RPMs via rpm command.
The problem with my above idea is that the two systems have different packages enabled, so even if yum on the online system shows a few dependencies being downloaded, I could run download and install all these RPMs and their dependencies on the offline system only to find several more missing dependencies, and dependencies of those dependencies.

how to update my system online (for example my firefox 3.0 to 3.5) but i can't figure out how this possibly works. I tried the "online update" using Yast2 but apparently (according to Yast) there is nothing at all to be patched on my system. I tried to click on the Firefox-3.5.5 rpm in the repository web-interface and open it using "install software" but the process aborts because of unresolved dependencies. Is there an easy way to update software without having to download/install every dependency manually?
