OpenSUSE Install :: Will Disk Space Increasing Wihtout Shuting Down?
Mar 18, 2011I am running OpenSUSE 11.4, and have 2 partition in it, one is / (about 10GB), another one is /home (about 50GB). I usually put into sleep when I'm away from my computer. It had been few days I never shut down my computer, and today I got a warning message mention that my disk space (/home partition) is full. I check my disk space in Dolphin's properties menu for the /home directory, found out that it only used up 10GB disk space. I did a check on the "My Computer" on the desktop, the status is showing full usage (100%) in red color. I did df -h command, the partition for the /home is showing 100% used as well. I don't really know what is going on, and then I restart my PC. It back to normal after I come back to my Linux, which is 10GB disk space used. I don't know whether this is a bug in OpenSUSE or not.

Mar 22, 2011I had a dual boot system (Ubuntu 10.04 and XP) and had a problem with my XP and had to reinstall it. Unfortunately I forgot to backup the boot file. After the re-installation of XP, I can't load Ubuntu 10.04 anymore, so I booted up Ubuntu 10.10 using USB, during the install, it didn't give an option to do a repair, so I did an install along with other OS. After the install, the GRUB showed now 3 OS:
Ubuntu 10.10
Win XP
Ubuntu 10.04
How can I remove the newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 without damaging the other OS? I'd like to keep the 10.04 because it's all customized and have several apps already installed.

Aug 22, 2010Just installed Fedora 13. And just as i finished installing, recovering backup and configuring everything. I realized that i forgot to make an extra partition (for experimenting with other distros).
During the Fedora installation i chose to include all three hard drives in the file system. So now sda, sdb and sdc are all included in the lvm group.
Found this thread in the forum: [URL]
Can i follow these steps to shrink the partition on sdc without damaging my current fedora installation? Can i run the commands straight from the shell, or do i need to boot up from a livecd?

Ubuntu :: Can't Install Gnome
Jan 24, 2010It all started when ubuntu suddenly got blocked and i had to restart the computer manually. After restarting it, it said the filesystem has errors and forced fsck. it never ended successfully so i used the live cd to fsck from terminal. then it booted regularly.... and then there was no GNOME option in the login menu... i have LXDE and from there i looked in the synaptic and GNOME wasn't installed and when i tried to install it, it said that it is dependent on two conflicting packages :
gnome:
Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
Depends: epiphany-extensions but it is not going to be installed
and i can NOT install both of them they are conflicting packages therefore i can NOT install gnome.
