Bruno Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hi NoonGo to the "PCC" ( PCLos Control Center ) --> "Mount Points" --> "Create, delete and resize hard disk partitions" . . . and have a look at the colored bar representing your HD . . . click on the partition you want info from and read in the "Details" panel all you want to know about that partition.

Noonmid27 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Hi NoonGo to the "PCC" ( PCLos Control Center ) --> "Mount Points" --> "Create, delete and resize hard disk partitions" . . . and have a look at the colored bar representing your HD . . . click on the partition you want info from and read in the "Details" panel all you want to know about that partition. BrunoQuestion. i went into control center and selected Mount Points -> configure local hardisk partitions. I then selected my /home partitions which is 80GB. I then selected toggle to expert mode. On the left hand side i selected use for loopback. A prompt then appears that shows my filesystem type and the size of the partition. I wanted to know if i can adjust the size of the partition by changing the size in the prompt that pops up?

Bruno Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 On the left hand side i selected use for loopback. For loopback ?? I don't think that is the right choice . . . . I think you should choose "Umount" and then "Resize" . . . . next you will get a slider that allows you to determine the new size of the partition.

BrunoWhen i select unmount i get a message saying error unmounting home, device or resource maybe busy. how do i get around that problem. Also i just downloaded the nVidia drivers for linux, this one specifically NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8774-pkg2.runi then type in sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8774-pkg2.run, in the run command field and nothing happened. Did that occur because PCLos is not a 64bit distro. I mean i noticed that they are different distros for specific CPU's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Well, if you are logged in as the normal user it will not work, because your user files are stored in /home. You will need to log out as user and log in as root to make the change.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi NoonIs this PCLos you want to install the Nvidia drivers ?? . . . . if so please do NOT use the package you downloaded from Nvidia . . . but simply go to synaptic and install the "dkms-nvidia" pacakge !( I hope I am not to late and you did not yet install the .run package . . because once it is installed you can not go back ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
