The error message was: ' Error: Marking the upgrade (E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolver generated breaks, this may be caused by help packages.)'This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies</p></li>

</code></pre>
<p>Now,</p>
<p>I have a concern <code>wrt</code> the "location" where the new softwares will be installed. Generally softwares are installed via the terminal and by default a fixed path is used to where the post installation set up files can be found (I am talking in context of the drive).</p>
<p>This is like the typical case of Windows, where softwares by default are installed in the C: drive. These days people customize their installations to a drive which they find <code>apt</code> to serve their purpose (generally based on availability of hard disk space). I am trying to figure out how to customize the same for Ubuntu.</p>
<p>As we all know the most softwares are installed via commands given from the Terminal. My road block is how do I redirect the default path set on the terminal where files get installed to this new hard disk.</p>
<p>This if done will help me overcome space constraints I am currently facing <code>wrt</code> the partition on which my Ubuntu is initially installed. I would also by this, save time on not formatting my system and reinstalling Ubuntu and other softwares all over again.</p>
<p>Please help me with this, your suggestions are much appreciated.</p>
<hr>
<p>My current situation:</p>
<hr>
<p>Hi ,</p>
<p>This is just my current situation post the initial problem faced by me(as per the question posted) and how I actually tried to get around it...</p>
<p>Thank you for your answers and comments, I am sorry, I have already tried something else which seems to have zeroed down my chances of getting back Ubuntu up & running for me now on my PC.</p>
<p>Every time now I try booting Ubuntu, I guess due to lack of space it no more boots on my PC. All this happened after I made one change in the system mount file located at /etc/fstab.</p>
<p>I changed the default location where my new hard disk was originally mounted. Originally it was mounted in /media/ubuntulinuxstore, I changed it to /usr. In other words I mounted /usr on this new hard disk and I guess also ended up making it a mount point for the hard disk. </p>
<p>Very soon after, the entire behavoir of Ubuntu OS and various simple commands like sudo, vi etc. stopped functioning. Files could no longer be detected from how they were initially. I couldn't undo the changes I made to /etc/fstab as I was no more the su wasn't working any more and hence making me devoid of all write permissions wrt system files..</p>
<p>I thought in this position a reboot would be the only last resort kind of a rescue.</p>
<p>I was in a position of having only around 10 MB free on my Ubuntu system. I tried booting it, the booting didn't succeed , it seemed to be stuck. This could be now because the /dev/sda2 was now 100% full leaving no memory ( may be virtual in particular to boot the OS ).</p>
<p>I performed a memory test wrt Ubuntu OS, that was 100% successful for me, but of no avail. This test I could perform wrt an option I got in the GRUB when starting my PC.</p>
<p>I tried booting via Ubuntu recovery mode, which I always get through GRUB as an option while starting my PC, this initially took me to a kind of interface. I tried vi /etc/fstab... to edit the mount location of the new hard disk( /dev/sdb1 ) to what it was originally ( /dev/sdb1 37G 214M 35G 1% /media/ubuntulinuxstore - as shown in the question above). But the only command that worked for me at that point of time was cat /etc/fstab. Even pico /dev/sdb1 didn't work for me.</p>
<p>I also via GRUB typed 'e'( for edit ) and then tried to edit the kernel( again made use of 'e' ) with the intention to boot for a single user( I typed single next to the already existing lines written for a file that I obtained on typing 'e' wrt the kernel). Finally on pressing enter, I was at a step higher, at the parent directory where the option of kernel was originally present , from there I entered option b( to boot ). But this didn't help at all.</p>
<p>Now finally every time i try booting Ubuntu via the grub, I am put in a loop due to errors wrt hard disk and I end up back at the original GRUB option. All this atleast didn't have an impact on my Windows OS. But it seems that I have almost lost Ubuntu and have to format it now freshly.</p>
<p>I even tried out a whacky idea of disconnecting the new hard disk from the Cpu, but that went in vain and my problem still continues to persist..</p>
<p>Only seems like a miracle will save me now to retain Ubuntu.
Any feedback or tips which I can carry to avoid such blunders in the future? </p>
<p>I know this leaves me with almost no hope of getting back Ubuntu, but still I would gather some courage to ask one last time.. is there a way around this..??</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your patient reading and for any feedback obtained wrt my post..</p>

<p>There are some workarounds at <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes</a> to make them work.

is it actually possible to use desktop effect in this graphics card ? </p>

<p>I think i understand the difference between the likes of KDE and Gnome - They are collections of applications and other software that make up a given gui environment. However a quick read through any vaguely technical linux websites will reveal terms like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Murrine</li>
<li>Clearlooks</li>
<li>GTK</li>
<li>Beryl</li>
<li>Metacity</li>
<li>Window manager</li>

"body": "<p>I may confuse you further, but I'm going to add a few more words to that list. I've tried to highlight the buzzwords while I paint a picture of how things fit together.</p>\n<h2>Window managers</h2>\n<p>It might sounds silly but window managers manage your windows. They sit right next to the X Server (that controls what gets sent to hardware) and decrees how windows are painted to the desktop (itself a type of window).</p>\n<p>As well as managing where the window goes, how big it is, if it's above something else, it's also responsible for decorations. Most window managers defer to another application called a <strong>window decorator</strong>. These decide how your window borders look, as well as giving you some options (resizing, window buttons, etc).</p>\n<p><strong>Metacity</strong> (a window manager) has its own window decorator built-in but other window decorators you might see around include <code>gtk-window-decorator</code> (used by Compiz by default) and <strong>Emerald</strong>, spawned from Beryl which can do slightly fancier things at the cost of CPU cycles.</p>\n<p><strong>Beryl</strong>, <strong>Metacity</strong>, <strong>Compiz</strong> are all <strong>window managers</strong>. Beryl was a fork of the original Compiz. It advanced well ahead of Compiz and was eventually merged back to form a project called Compiz-Fusion. Compiz-Fusion has now (AFAIK) been renamed back to Compiz although both names still apply to the same, modern project.</p>\n<h2>Graphical Toolkits</h2>\n<p>GTK+ (aka GTK) is a graphical toolkit that developers use to create rich, graphical user interfaces. Using tools like Glade, they decide how an application should look by placing GTK+ controls (eg a button) on a window, using further arrangement technologies like Glade.</p>\n<p>GTK+ also contains several sub-projects like <strong>Cairo</strong> and <strong>Pango</strong>, two graphics libraries that programmers can use to draw things inside their applications. In turn these libraries can reach out to more libraries to help them render things (like using <strong>Freetype</strong> to render text).</p>\n<p>GTK+ development libraries are a bottomless pit. I could literally spend all day listing them out but it won't really help you. So I won't.</p>\n<p>Part how these controls are rendered to the screen involves a <strong>theme engine</strong>. Each engine has <em>n</em> themes available for it and the user picks one in their preferences. That theme uses its engine to let controls render themselves onto the screen. <strong>Clearlooks</strong> and <strong>Murrine</strong> are both engines and they both have themes named after them, as well as a ton of other themes knocking around the internet.</p>\n<p>The stack would look something like this, from bottom to top:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>GTK+ Control</li>\n<li>GTK+ Engine and its GTK+ Theme</li>\n<li>Application (X Server Client)</li>\n<li>Window Decorator</li>\n<li>Window Manager (aka compositor)</li>\n<li>X Window Server</li>\n<li>Hardware</li>\n</ul>\n<p>That's ultra-simplified (I've just explained a compositing system) and a lot of that stuff can happen in altered orders, often running parallel rather than on top or beneath another layer... But it should give you an idea of how things get from code to screen.</p>\n<p><strong>Qt</strong> is another graphical toolkit which is very common in KDE applications. It has its own theming engines, themes and controls that similar to GTK+. They're not interchangable and require heavy code overhauls to port from one toolkit to the other.</p>\n",

<ol>
<li><strong>Proprietary:</strong> I tried many versions but neither works fast <strong>on desktop</strong>. This means <strong>30 FPS</strong> without heavy effects. Currently I am using version <code>270.18</code>. Even normal desktop use feels bad (moving windows) <strong>In games</strong> (and 3D benchmark) it is <strong>really good</strong>! (Unigine Heaven works good!)</li>
<li><strong>Open-source "nouveau"</strong>: Very fast on desktop with heavy effects (blur, ...). I have <strong>300 FPS</strong> and more, even in <em>Expo</em> mode. Games were good but not as good as prop. And driver causes xorg to crash even the latest (<code>ppa:xorg-edgers/nouveau</code>), so I switched back to proprietary.</li>
</ol>
<p>I also have computer with Ubuntu 10.04, GeForce 8600GT and drivers around <code>185.x</code> and Compiz works great there.</p>
<p>There is similar question <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/3672/nvidia-proprietary-driver-performance-in-10-10">Nvidia proprietary driver performance in 10.10</a></p>
<p>Which <strong>version of nvidia (prop) driver is fast in Compiz</strong> in Ubuntu 10.10? How do you install a specific version of nvidia driver? Is it the case that each newer driver works slower on compiz?</p>
<p><em>edit:</em> I tested 8600GT and GTS250 on Ubuntu 10.04 under 197.x.x drivers. Performance in Compiz and games are great! So Ubuntu 10.10 with 260.x.x or newer driver is not good for Compiz?</p>

The icon in the notification area (or indicator area) disappears, and it does not run any more. For instance this happens when there is really no ethernet network nor wireless one.</p>
<p>Nonetheless this is a problem, since I often plug in my ethernet cable long after having booted my computer. As a hack I therefore hit <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F2</kbd>, and type <code>nm-applet</code>. But I am not satisfied with this solution, because I think it is not intuitive enough.</p>
<p>Is there a way to keep Network-Manager always running?</p>

Ok i had a look and as Jet suggested the partition table is messed up, not sure how that happened. have a look at this below partition details:</p>
<pre><code>muzikayise@muzikayise-supercom:~$ sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sdc > PT.txt
muzikayise@muzikayise-supercom:~$ cat PT.txt
# partition table of /dev/sdc
unit: sectors

/dev/sdc3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/sdc4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
</code></pre>
<p>i'm gonna try fix this, not sure how yet but will google for solutions</p>

<p>I've searched here and not found the same suggestion (most are suggesting ntfs-3g which seems to cost money and isn't preinstalled on a Mac).</p>
<p>So my question is: how is this done right, and has anyone done this? Have you then filled up the drive and deleted some files to make space finding that everything works like a real r/w format even though it seems to have been primarily a write once format?</p>
<p>Call me crazy but I'd really like it if the UDF system would also automount and be writable by the logged in user. What I've tried so far (udftools formatting as mentioned by kicsyromy) doesn't address this wish.</p>

<p>I'm fairly new to programming using D-Bus.

<p><strong>How can I listen D-Bus events for any USB device plug and unplug?</strong></p>

27954 | 1 | 27955 | 2011-02-24T20:42:35.343 | 44 | 414250 | <p>Is there an easy way to check Internet connectivity from console? I am trying to play around in a shell script.
One idea I seem is to <code>wget --spider <a href="http://www.google.co.in/">http://www.google.co.in/</a></code> and check the HTTP response code to interpret if the Internet connection is working fine. But I think there must be easy way without the need of checking a site that never crash ;)</p>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong> Seems like there can be a lot of factors which can be individually examined, good thing. My intention at the moment is to check if my blog is down. I have setup cron to check it every minute.
For this, I am checking the HTTP response code of wget --spider to my blog. If its not 200, it notifies me (I believe this will be better than just pinging it, as the site may under be heavy load and may be timing out or respond very late). Now yesterday, there was some problem with my Internet. LAN was connected fine but just I couldn't access any site. So I keep on getting notifications as the script couldn't find 200 in the wget response. Now I want to make sure that it displays me notification when I do have internet connectivity.</p>
<p>So, checking for DNS and LAN connectivity is a bit overkill for me as I don't have that much specific need to figure out what problem it is. So what do you suggest how I do it?</p>
<p>Here is my script to keep checking downtime for my blog:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
# Sending the output of the wget in a variable and not what wget fetches
RESULT=`wget --spider http://blog.ashfame.com 2>&1`
FLAG=0
# Traverse the string considering it as an array of words
for x in $RESULT; do
if [ "$x" = '200' ]; then
FLAG=1 # This means all good
fi
done
if [ $FLAG -eq '0' ]; then
# A good point is to check if the internet is working or not
# Check if we have internet connectivity by some other site
RESULT=`wget --spider http://www.facebook.com 2>&1`
for x in $RESULT; do
if [ "$x" = '200' ]; then
FLAG=1 # This means we do have internet connectivity and the blog is actually down
fi
done
if [ $FLAG -eq '1' ]; then
DISPLAY=:0 notify-send -t 2000 -i /home/ashfame/Dropbox/Ubuntu/icons/network-idle.png "Downtime Alert!" "http://blog.ashfame.com/ is down."
fi
fi
exit
</code></pre>
<p>This way I need to check for internet connectivity only where there is an issue with my blog response code. Its a bit heavy (as I am not using ping) but should not give any false positives. Right? Also how can I randomize pinging to a different site everytime, like facebook, google, yahoo etc. Also (I was trying to avoid any I/O) I can write to a log file by which I can check the count of downtime checks and then skip further checks till the site is down or cause longer checks (10mins instead of every min). What do you think?</p>

<ul>
<li>Drive 1: 80 GB SSD Windows 7 </li>
<li>Drive 2: 320 GB HDD Ubuntu (installed through Wubi) </li>
<li>Drive 3: 1000 TB NTFS media drive</li>

Unfortunately, from comment 71 of the bug report, it sounds like Sentelic has also raised patent concerns, which seem to be blocking the current development of the open source driver.</p>\n\n<p>The ultimate goal, at least from <a href=\"http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-July/050726.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">what I've read on the mailing list</a>, is to hand off the control of scrolling (and multi-touch?) to the Synaptics driver. And to quote the bug report one more time, \"To fix this bug properly, Sentelic’s source for absolute positioning needs to be re-added to the driver.\"</p>\n\n<p>Right now, I don't know of anyone actively working on this, but I'm in the same boat as you, and I would love to have multi-touch (or at least usable edge-scrolling) working on my laptop. Maybe we should start bribing people. :)</p>\n",

<p>Obviously it's looking for gtk-config. However, <a href="http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314659">apparently</a> it doesn't exist in the repos anymore. Then <a href="http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=816983&page=2">this post</a> mentioned that gtkglarea solved their problem, as mentioned in <a href="http://w3.linux-magazine.com/issue/77/3D_File_Browsers.pdf">this file</a>.</p>
<p>Of course that poster neatly forgets to mention exactly what and how gtkglarea solved their problem, and Google is <a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=gtkglarea+ubuntu+10.10">mostly devoid</a> of information on the problem.</p>
<p>So I come here asking for help! I would like to install fsv, but it tells me gtk-config doesn't exist. How can I fix this problem in Ubuntu 10.10?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
<p>So with the help of Robert, this is what I had to do:</p>
<p>From the Dapper repositories I downloaded:</p>
<p><a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/i386/libgtk1.2-dev/1.2.10-18">libgtk1.2-dev_1.2.10-18_i386.deb</a><br />
<a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/i386/libgtk1.2/1.2.10-18">libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18_i386.deb</a><br />
<a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/i386/libgtk1.2-common/1.2.10-18">libgtk1.2-common_1.2.10-18_all.deb</a><br />
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/gtkglarea5-dev/download">gtkglarea5-dev_1.2.3-2ubuntu4_i386.deb</a><br />
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/gtkglarea5/download">gtkglarea5_1.2.3-2ubuntu4_i386.deb</a><br />
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/libglib1.2/download">libglib1.2_1.2.10-10.1build1_i386.deb</a><br />
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/libglib1.2-dev/download">libglib1.2-dev_1.2.10-10.1build1_i386.deb</a></p>
<p>then I had to install:</p>
<ol>
<li>libglib1.2</li>
<li>libglib1.2-dev</li>
<li>libgtk1.2-common</li>
<li>libgtk1.2</li>
<li>libgtk1.2-dev</li>
<li>gtkglarea5</li>
<li>gtkglarea5-dev</li>
</ol>
<p>I used <code>sudo gdebi <file>.deb</code> for most of them (it tells you dependencies better, if you missed one). In a few cases, gdebi does <em>not</em> do the right thing, and dies. When this happens, use <code>dpkg -i <file>.deb</code> and it should work.</p>

It's trivial to match the hard disk stats (brand, size) with the dev path, but I want more. I want to know which drive is which inside my case. What's a good way to go about getting this info?</p>
<h3>Constraints</h3>
<ul>
<li>I am lazy. I don't want to tear apart my server to remove all the drives, then add back one by one.</li>
<li>Reboots are acceptable.</li>
<li>The drives are inconveniently scrunched together in the case. The label information is hidden.</li>
<li>The case can be opened. Most disks are SATA, so theoretically hot swappable. Unplugging cables is fair game.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bonus</h3>
<p>I'll award answer to the best/easiest gui or cli answer, and give a bounty to the next-best answer of the other kind. <em>I</em> prefer a cli answer, but understand that a lot of other folks will appreciate a good point-and-click method.</p>

<p>During installation I have three options:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install alongside the existing OS.</li>
<li>Remove everything and install Ubuntu.</li>
<li>Manual partitioning (advanced).</li>
</ol>
<p>The above list is not precise (I do not remember what exactly was written there and I just write options as I have understood them).</p>
<p>I know that option 2 is not mine. So, I need to choose either 1 or 3. I do not know which one I need to choose. I want to have a possibility to manually specify space assigned to Windows and Ubuntu (for example 40% for Windows and 60% for Ubuntu).</p>
<p>I chose the 1st option and I saw a window with the following information.</p>
<pre><code>Allocate drive space by dragging the drive bellow.
File (48.1 GB) Ubuntu
/dev/sda2 (ntfs) /dev/sda3 (ext4)
286.6 GB 241.7 GB
2 small partitions are hidden, use the advanced partitioning tool for more control.
[use entire partition] [use entire disk]
[Quit] [Back] [Install Now]
</code></pre>
<p>My problem is that I do not understand what I see. In particular I can press [use entire partition] or [use entire disk] and I do not know what is the difference.

<p>I have not found a way to do this for Firefox either, but maybe a solution for Firefox will lead to a solution for Chrome. </p>
<p>FYI: Epiphany is properly integrated into Gnome by default, and <em>does</em> use the default password vault. It would be great to at least have all passwords in a single, actually secure, place, instead of laying around in my home-dir.</p>
<p>Even better would be if somehow they could re-use eachothers passwords, but that depends on the implementation of this integration, i guess.</p>

<p>I have the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Media server at home, running Ubuntu, 10.10 with GUI *)</li>
<li>Laptop often at home, often on the road or at clients. Ubuntu 10.10 with GUI.</li>
</ul>
<p>What I'd like is my laptop connecting to the nfs (or any other mountable networked filesystem) so that Banshee sees all the music, new podcast-entries (and video) from that media-server.</p>
<p>I already have firefly (mt-daapd) running, which works, but is flakey on both server-side and client-side. But its biggest downside, is that I cannot easily fix metadata on files on the media-server this way. DAAP is read-only by design.</p>
<p>I can mount nfs manually, through a <code>sudo mount /media/nfsmultimedia/</code>. I am not looking for a manual, or howto on setting up a NFS client and server. Merely a way to have this more transparently working. </p>
<p>Obviously I'd like the NFS to be unmounted if the network is no longer available (i.e. when I open my laptop-lid on my clients buro).</p>
<p>It may be, that an NFS is not suited for this, in that case, I'd love to hear other options. :)</p>
<p>*) Actually: I also have a fileserver, backupserver and webserver to which I'd like to connect in a somewhat similar way. Right now I connect to these over SSH, using <strong>gvfs</strong>.</p>

28043 | 1 | 28181 | 2011-02-25T15:42:35.810 | 3 | 6581 | <p><strong>Direct Question</strong>: I want to enable Perl to send emails. What package(s) should I install to setup a simplistic email server: no need for incoming, <strong>only outgoing</strong>. I can forward through gmail's SMTP if that's best?</p>
<p><strong>Background</strong>: I am programmer with a nightly build script written in Perl. I would like to email myself the results of my nightly builds (especially if there's an error).</p>
<p>I've read about the perl package <code>Mail::Sendmail</code> briefly, but if something else is more appropriate, <em>please tell me!!</em></p>
<p>I tried the simple <code>aptget install sendmail</code>, but that doesn't seem to work. I get the following errors:</p>
<p>Server said: 421 4.3.0 collect: Cannot write ./dfp1PFXl7W020719 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=120): No such file or directory
message transmission error (421 4.3.0 collect: Cannot write ./dfp1PFXl7W020719 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=120): No such file or directory
)
Server said: 421 4.3.0 collect: Cannot write ./dfp1PFXl7W020719 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=120): No such file or directory</p>
<p>I've googled this problem a bit and tried a few things -- adding my username to /etc/mail/trusted-users and such, but to no avail.</p>
<p>In other words, I would be most grateful if you could provide simple instructions for setting up an outgoing mail server. I really don't understand the specifics, but as I understand, I need to forward the mail through an existing SMTP server -- so I can use my gmail account if need be (that's where I want to send the logs anyway). Any suggestions would be most greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I've tried the method of symlinking Netbook Edition interface so that it would start in the Gnome session mode but the panel was not customizable anyway. Seems that the panel is more locked in 10.10 than in 10.04.</p>
<p>I suppose that the panel still keeps its applet configuration somewhere, either in config files or in gnome-config. So I think that it's possible to add an applet by editing the config. Does anybody know of files, commands and configuration keys that should be changed to add an applet? Or can I launch an applet by just running the program that renders it?</p>

I've been doing this for 3 major releases now so I figure I'm starting to slip behind the current "standard".</p>
<p>I would like to re-base my kernels off the new Natty <code>.config</code> file. Is this available somewhere online or do I have to download the whole kernel package and extract it?</p>
<p>Edit: I've manually pulled in the config from the latest Natty kernel package and I can confirm that I propbably should have done this sooner. A lot of differences between my old "evolved" config and the Natty default. Now if I could just do this without 20 minutes of hunting and downloading the package so I can re-base in the future.</p>

<p>Networking is configured as follows</p>
<pre><code>auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hostname ca
</code></pre>
<p>the command <code>cat /etc/hostname</code> returns <code>ca</code>.</p>
<p>But when I use the command <code>host 10.49.156.196</code> (its current IP address) from another machine on the network, it returns as follows:</p>
<pre><code>196.156.49.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer owner-pc.xxxxx.xxx
</code></pre>
<p>I can access the machine via SSH and browser using IP address, but not by name <code>ca</code></p>
<p>Any suggestions? I tried installing samba/nmbd as suggested in <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/2631/access-ubuntu-server-by-host-name">another post</a>, but to no avail.</p>

<p>I am running Ubuntu 10.10, I switched to Nvidia drivers and this has messed up my boot splash screen. It looks like the resolution is off, it looks to be around 800x600 on boot (during the console stuff) and when switching to a virtual console (using <kbd>Alt</kbd>-<kbd>F*</kbd>).</p>
<p>Any ideas how to fix this? Is this a issue with frame buffer resolution?</p>

28097 | 1 | 28098 | 2011-02-25T22:19:18.403 | 5 | 141 | <p>UDS-O is being held at Budapest, Hungary and the sponsorships are open which closes on 28th of March.</p>
<p>My question is when will the final list be announced? Will there be more than one month period for people to apply for Visa?</p>
<p>e.g. I live in India and when we apply for <code>Schengen Visa</code> for the first time, it takes around 2 weeks for the visa interview(period depends on the rush). Then another week for interview and Visa to be stamped. AFAIK the application, interview and collection has to be done in person. This is all what I have heard.</p>
<p>So will Canonical give one month time minimum for people in Eastern part of the world or countries where Schengen countries have tougher rules for visa?</p>
<p>It would be great if they could finalize the names a bit faster and announce the list by first week of April.</p>
<p>I am hoping Jorge or Jono might come and answer this.</p>

28103 | 1 | 28202 | 2011-02-25T22:57:38.120 | 4 | 5004 | <p>I'm running Ubuntu from USB media, which has a drive capacity of 250 GB, all existing as one FAT32 partition. </p>
<p>However, when I created the bootable Ubuntu drive, only 4.79 GB were allocated for usage.</p>
<p>Rather than put files directly into the /cdrom where the drive is mounted, I want to expand what is listed here in <code>aufs</code> to be at least 200 GB. I'm hopeful that I can do this live.</p>
<p>Output of <code>df</code> :</p>
<pre><code>Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

<p>Output of <code>fdisk -l</code> :</p>
<pre><code>Disk /dev/sdb: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders

<p>So basically what I want to do is get <code>/dev/sdb1</code> to be entirely, or almost entirely read as <code>aufs</code>. </p>
<p>I'm confused over how to do this, as the file systems are all part of <code>/dev/sdb1</code> on one big partition, rather than separate partitions for separate file systems.</p>
