Ok chaps, what do I need similar to Irfan View on T'other OS (hiss) to edit the Size of Photo's, friends tend to get miffed if I email 5MB Pic's. Loads of viewers etc on Ubuntu, like Playing Hopscotch in a Minefield, can give you a really Crap Day!
I have installed Fedora 15 on my laptop a couple of days ago, but now i want to install windows next to it.To do this i have to resize the lvm partition.But at the final step (vgreduce) i get this message:Physical volume "/dev/sda2" still in use.What now? Can someone help me reducing the size of my lvm partition?
I have an install of Fedora 12 and I would like to know how to reduce the size of the /var/log/messages file.You see that file is already 120MB large and about 4 days old.I would like to be able to either make a new file daily or adjust a maximum size
Alternate Heading: Unable to use opensuse partitioner to fully format a Seagate 1Tb drive OK. Swapped over a motherboard to increase the number of slots available for hard drives so that I could expand my raid array (4 X 1Tb drives). Discovered I had no thermal paste so all delayed for 24 hours while I bought some, miscalculated on rebuild and had to reinstall OpenSuse but in the end system is now up and running. Unfortunately when I formatted my new 1Tb drive (Seagate) it formats to 931.50 Gb while the other 4 drives formatted to 931.51 Gb (they are WD). I'm now in the position that when I try to add this new drive I get :
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 not large enough to join array
Is there any way I can resize the existing devices down to 931.50 Gb so that I can add in the new drive without having to restore the array?
I've spent hours trying to scan + shrink a multipage PDF documentlosing readability. This is the first time I've ever needed to do this! (I had to scan each page as ".jpg" in order to email and open on another computer, so I could not scan to PDF directly, which I think is why each page was so large; lower DPIs made the text too blurry.)I found this great tip on UbuntuGeek...but anyone can do this if GhostScript is installed:
I haven't ever had this working as I've never tried before today. Gwibber won't post to my ping.fm account. I'm certain the correct username and web-key have been entered (though Gwibber doesn't tell you one way or the other). It doesn't matter if I try to post via the Gwibber interface or the indicator-applet-session textbox... neither work. No error messages.
- I know Gwibber is working because it will post to twitter, facebook, identica, etc. - I know my ping.fm account is working because it will post direct from website and/or browser extension
Rather than get in hot (or even slightly-above-comfortable temperature) water for reviving a closed (ca. 2007) thread without moderator permission or acquaintance of the OP personally or by proxy, I'll post this alternate solution (approach?) along with one positive real-world example illustrating how mine is easier to write and is equally reliable, if not altogether better. The thread is here. Their solution:
Code: if [ "$myfilesize" eq "0" ];then echo "$file: the file size is zero"; else echo "$file: the file size is NOT zero"; fi (and this hangs on the output of a stat -c %s command). "Hangs" is probably a most appropriate word. The two outputs, using two different stat options, the same file, and three marginally-different command-line syntaxes I just tried gave me these: First, using their approach, I got this:
Code: tjsfa070929-094.jpg.error: the file size is NOT zero Even though stat gave me this Code: >> stat -c %s $file
[Code]...
From where I sit, getting the file type string instead of an integer, which can be equally (if not often more) accurate, makes for an easier time of setting the conditional and, maybe only in terms of a few ticks, a faster script from start to finish. I think my method is better, and proven so to the limits of my knowledge and ability here in this OP.
It seems strange to me that there are so few newsreader programs for Linux that are good for posting binaries, if they do it at all. For a community with such an ethos of sharing, there sure are a lot of "grab"-only newsreaders!
I have used newspost a lot in the past, but I encounter fatal errors when connecting through stunnel, as I now tend to do, and development seems to be dead with that program. Can anyone recommend any other program - console, X, whatever - that will post multipart binary files?
having problem dealing with gnome-do, before this, I never have problem while tweeting with the tweeter plugin in gnome-do.Now, when I want to tweet up with gnome-do, the gnome-do suddenly crash and I need to open it back via Application to make it use back again.
I have F8 system that I have installed a fair amount of software on. When I started to install F10 I discovered that the file system is LVM (F8 default) which takes the entire disk (80G). I want to keep the F8 install but add F10 so I can migrate things to F10. So I need to:
1. Back up the system to USB HD so I can restore if things go wrong. Prefer to backup to a non-LVM partition (if that's reasonable). I don't really have any critical data but want to preserve the software installs and configurations that I have spent a lot of time sorting out. 2. Reduce the LVM partition to 20 G to make room for F10 and leave some unallocated space - say 30G for F10 and 30G unalocated. 3. Install F10 (on non-LVM partition) and keep both bootable. I have heard this may involve editing some grub files.
I have used SystemRescueCD a little and want to be able to use it on the F10 partition.
I have a netbook and one of the suggested optimizations was to reduce the use of swap.I've noticed on my desktop and conventional laptop that it is quite usual for the swap file to be used even when memory usage is low (25% of available memory).I'm looking for some advise on the best way to set up a conventional desktop or laptop as my understanding is that the use of a swap file will slow the system responsiveness down. Can I use a version of the above to improve performance and reduce swap usage?
In Ubuntu 8.04, when I wanted to reduce the boot menu delay I had to do the following: enter in terminal: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst I then looked for the line that begins with timeout and changed the value (shortened the delay) Now with ubuntu 10.10, when I tried this I do get into the Gedit text editor as with 8.04 but it is completely blank, no entries at all? So nothing to change! So how do I change the boot menu delay in ubuntu 10.10?
There is one directory in /oracle partition in test server which i use to delete that dir after copying in the same location with diff file/dir name. Like this i did so many times.evrytime i m deleting but the /oracle partition space is reducing by 1.5 or 2gb after deleting dirs of 80gb.Directory size is 80GB and partition size 400GB.plz let me knw with steps, is it requires to do De-fragmentation?
I run Fedora FC13-x64. Recently I added a few TB's of RAID5 storage tto my server and moved most data from the root filesystem to that. Now my root volume is way too big. My basic install resulted in a 1TB LVM volume group entirely dedicated to a single lv_root.
Now I want to make room and eventually clone this disk to a much smaller root disk. I see many threads about reducing the size of an LVM logical volume. My first steps were succesful. I used lvreduce and resize2fs to reduce the size of the logical volume and filesystem. I also user pvreduce to reduce the size of the physical volume group.
But still gparted and fdisk report the physicalk volume (/dev/sde2) as 900GB. The embedded LVM stuff is as small as 60GB. Anyway LVM manager and GParted doe not allow me to shrink /dev/sdf2 to snuggly fit the LVM stuff in it.
I'm wondering if there is a way to shrink an ext3 LV mount as / .I tried to with resize2fs ... but seems that isn't possible if the partition is mounted.
I have a Dell Precision M6400 laptop with an Intel Core2 Duo 2.8 GHz processor.I have set Power Management to performance when on AC power and have also written a script that calls cpufreq-set to set the lower and upper limits to 2.80 GHz (cpufreq-info output below).However, sometimes when doing some heavy work the frequency suddenly gets reduced to 1.60 GHz on both cores and I cannot set them back to 2.80 GHz using the script (cpufreq-set says errors occurred). Performance is then totally gone and I have to reboot. The same script then works fine after a reboot.What is setting the lower limit back down to 1.60 GHz even though I set it to 2.80 GHz using my script? How can I stop/configure this or prevent it from happening?
I have Centos 5. I enabled the EL repos so I could upgrade the php to the latest, and now there are upgrades that yum is not letting me get. I have a Virtualmin VPN plugin that needs Virtualmin to be updated to 5.10, but it seems when I updated PHP with the EL repos Yum is now reducing my available packages. Here are some outputs. with some things removed for length.
# # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # .....
Every time update-grub run all these are put back. Editing grub.cfg does not help.
I just installed oS11.3 on a new Aspire Revo R3610 which has the Intel Atom 330 chip and Nvidia ION graphics.
I noticed that the CPU is always running at 1600Mhz and doesn't throttle down when there is no load. Do the Atom cpus not throttle down or is there a setting in 11.3 that I can change?
a client brought in an 160GB external HDD and wanted to get the files off it, there appeared to be no partitions on the disk but i thought it may have been formatted to use the whole disk. I tried to mount it as the various FS types the client thought it may have been to no avail.
I ran testdisk on it which told me that it previously had a mac partition table and a 210GB partition on it (which is larger than the disk) could anyone enlighten me as to whether or not this is even possible, and if so how could i retrieve the data?
Ubuntu 10.04, xsane 0.996, Brother MFC 240c scanner.I just finished writing a long dissertation on my problem with this scanning environment (which I will spare you). In a nutshell the resulting image, when printed, is smaller than the original document. In writing my dissertation for this post I determined that the cause of the issue is that xsane believes I am scanning an 8.5 x 14 inch document when I am in fact scanning an 8.5 x 11 letter. So the question is... can I change the size to 8.5 x 11? and if so, how? I have not found anything in the xsane Preferences.
today I upgraded via official testing repository Gnome to version 3.18. After this, icons on desktop and nautilus are bigger, than before. Next thing, gaps between icons are smaller than before. I tried change theme to default (Adwaita), then run gtk-update-icon-cache, but without result.
Normal view - icons are big for this view. URL....
Small view - icons are still big for this view. URL...
How can I change icons size and gaps size? Or is it bug for this version?
is lvresize with --resizefs options re-size the Logical Volume and then re-size the file system? i mean we don't need to use resize2fs?I looked at man pages but it doesn't explain this option.
Have just installed Lexmark s605 printer on wireless network, printer works ok but when i print a document even though it is showing the correct size on 'print preview', the printed output is on the page is tiny and and 90deg rotated, I've tried various drivers from the Lexmark website, and also messing about in printer settings but nothing seems to make any difference.
