[Bruno]

Okay Colin . . I am missing a package "gimp-data-extras" . . .are you sure it is not there ? . . . ( Not that important though )Start installing: ( doublecheck if you have the correct ones )Name: gimp2_0Version: 2.0.0-2mdkSize: 26456 KBMedium: contribName: gimp2-freetypeVersion: 0.5-3mdkSize: 180 KBMedium: contribName: gimp-pandoraVersion: 0.3-2mdkSize: 14 KBMedium: contribIt will tell you you need some libgimp as well . . just say "YES" . . it will pick the matching package Bruno

[kamicota]

BrunoNo gimp data extrasColin

[Bruno]

Never mind . . that probably is a package you have to pay for ( be a memeber of the Club or buy the PowerPack )Just install the others I posted Bruno

[kamicota]

BrunoThey ARE Installed Colin

[Bruno]

Brilliant . . now close the MCC . . and then you will find FireFox in the internet menu and "The Gimp v2" as well as "The Gimp" in the multimedia menu :DB) Bruno

[kamicota]

Yeah BrunoThey are ALL thereI have been using the Epiphany Browser because of how SLOW Konqueror is and just want to experiment to see which is going to be my browser of choiceI see that "gimp pandora" is for making panorama's just what I NEEDWhat does data-extras doColin

[Bruno]

Glad you are happy Colin !! . The data extras are some extra plugins . . . .that you probably never will use anyway . . . . The ImageMagick . . all is well with that one ??Have some fun playing and tell me when you are ready for point 4 of the agenda of today . . . Bruno

[kamicota]

Yah BrunoWent looking in Gimp did NOT find pandora or panorama But its ERARLY DAYS yetImage magick works a treat And yes ready for #4 and I AGREE with what you posted before that one probably does not want them mounted all the timeThinking about just having ALL my graphics on windows for access though about 2G worth which would still leave 1.5G freeColin

[Bruno]

Colin . . I am preparing the how-to for mounting . . . but I need to know:

# ls /mnt

Bruno

[kamicota]

[kamicota@localhost kamicota]$ suPassword:[root@localhost kamicota]# ls /mntcdrom/ floppy/ hda7/ hda9/ win_c/[root@localhost kamicota]#Colin

[Bruno]

And now:

# mount

Bruno

[kamicota]

[root@localhost kamicota]# mount/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 on / type ext3 (rw)none on /proc type proc (rw)none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)none on /dev type devfs (rw)none on /sys type sysfs (rw)none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620)none on /mnt/floppy type supermount (rw,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850)/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on /mnt/win_c type vfat (rw,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850)[root@localhost kamicota]#A Colin

[Bruno]

Okay . . here we goFirst some prep work:

$ su<password ># rm -rf /mnt/hda7# rm -rf /mnt/hda9# mkdir /mnt/pclos# mkdir /mnt/mepis

Now here is the part to print out and stick on the monitor . . because you need it evey time you want to access the PCLos or Mepis partition . . . ( Note you have to be root to copy things from there to Mandrake )------------------------------- PRINT THIS ------------------------------------To mount the Mepis partition:

# mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/mepis# ls /mnt/mepis

Example you want to copy a file from /nome/kamicota in Mepis to /home/kamicota in Drake:

# cp -rp /mnt/mepis/home/kamicota/filename.txt  /home/kamicota

( With cp -rp you can also copy full directories over from one partition to another )VERY IMPORTANT: After you are ready . . umount the partition:

# umount /mnt/mepis

Same for PCLos:

# mount /dev/hda9 /mnt/pclos# ls /mnt/pclos

And for umounting:

# umount /mnt/pclos

----------------------------------/PRINT THIS ------------------------------------That should do the trick Colin !! . . . So do not forget to umount the partitions you mounted when you are ready with them !! Bruno

[kamicota]

[kamicota@localhost kamicota]$ suPassword:[root@localhost kamicota]# ls /mntcdrom/ floppy/ hda7/ hda9/ win_c/[root@localhost kamicota]# mount/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 on / type ext3 (rw)none on /proc type proc (rw)none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)none on /dev type devfs (rw)none on /sys type sysfs (rw)none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620)none on /mnt/floppy type supermount (rw,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850)/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on /mnt/win_c type vfat (rw,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850)[root@localhost kamicota]# rm -rf /mnt/hda7[root@localhost kamicota]# rm -rf /mnt/hda9[root@localhost kamicota]# mkdir /mnt/pclos[root@localhost kamicota]# mkdir /mnt/mepis[root@localhost kamicota]#Did the first "BOX" of commandsDo I ContinueColin

[Bruno]

That was the prep work Colin . . . all is in position now for the part you PRINT out, and only do whenever you need to access the other partition . . . . You can do a test now to see if it works, just do this part then:

# mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/mepis# ls /mnt/mepis# umount /mnt/mepis# mount /dev/hda9 /mnt/pclos# ls /mnt/pclos# umount /mnt/pclos

[Bruno]

See . . It works !!! :DNow let me explain why you do not want to keep those partitions mounted all the time: If ever, we hope not, something goes terribly wrong on the Mandrake partition . . it will not affect the PCLos and Mepis partitions . . . . so we always will have a distro that works. Because if all is mounted all the time, in a worst case scenario you could loose ALL your installs in one blow !! :DGood, I think we did the list for today . . any more wishes Colin ?? Bruno

[kamicota]

BrunoI don't know if you are the "Leprachaun or Merlin" with those WISHES No nothing more though and YES that was my concern bruno to have at least one Linux Distro running. So much so I think I am going to do most of my graphics in MDK and probably keep my Email separtate on PCLos. Mepis I haven't decided what to specialize with in there yetPrinting I will see what happens there But are these mepis and PCLos partions mounted or unmounted don't want to leave them mountedCos' it's time to copy/paste and print all this outcolin

[Bruno]

As for now PCLos and Mepis are NOT mounted Colin . . . We did umount them both after mounting them and looking around ;)So all you ever need to do . . . .To mount the Mepis partition:

# mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/mepis# ls /mnt/mepis

Example you want to copy a file from /nome/kamicota in Mepis to /home/kamicota in Drake:

# cp -rp /mnt/mepis/home/kamicota/filename.txt  /home/kamicota

( With cp -rp you can also copy full directories over from one partition to another )VERY IMPORTANT: After you are ready . . umount the partition:

# umount /mnt/mepis

Same for PCLos:

# mount /dev/hda9 /mnt/pclos# ls /mnt/pclos

And for umounting:

# umount /mnt/pclos

[kamicota]

Phew Thats a relief BrunoOnce the printing is done may even visit--->>>http://www.yolinux.com/And see what else is out there. Wonder where that site came from Cheers for Yearsand thanks again Colin

[Bruno]

Colin . . . set up the printers in the MCC . . there is a wizard for it . . and Mandrake will have support for both printers ;)And make me a list for the lessons for tomorrow . . . school is closed now B) ( Go and do your "homework" ) Bruno

[teacher]

Way to go. It looks like school was a success again today!Julia

[kamicota]

Both printers are set upI know I have printed with Epson c64 in MDK but have not tried the canon i560 (not supported) it is a raw printer generic driver so we will have to see about it later.The only last quickie where do I look to see how much free space I have on MDK 10 hda 5 as I have tried several places and no luck yet Colin

[kamicota]

Yeah Julia It sure was a "Happy Memories" school day and on a Monday too hu Colin is still and raring to go

[Bruno]

Colin:

# df -h

Zzzzzzzruno

[ross549]

Colin,

df -h

Will show you the percentage of space used on your partitions.

[Bruno]

LOL . . too late Adam !! :PB) Bruno
