Ubuntu 11.10

  • Name: Rock for Rocky Butte
  • Admin: eepp

Tips

  • Use Alt left click to move the screen around to expose the offscreen buttons.
  • Use Ctl Alt T to open a terminal
    • xterm is under dash home - System
  • Important At login time - select the gear and choose 2D - This will clear up display problems. Otherwixe on 12.04 mouse clicks won't work and it with eventually die with a Compiz closed unexpectedly.

Install from Scratch

Mount /usr

Don't start the window manager. Instead <CTL> <ALT> <F1> to initiate a terminal

sudo is in /usr/bin. Can't use it when we break ties 

   sudo passwd root
   su -
 
   cp -rp /usr/* /media/2ff2af82-3efd-4ce8-a768-a7055c5035a7
 
   cp fstab fstab.org
   cp fstab fstab.new
   emacs fstab.new

add to the end 

  /dev/sdb1    /usr    ext4      defaults   0         1

  mv /usr /usrorg

should have umount /media/2f..., then mounted /dev/sdb1 at /usr just for saftety during reboot. Got some errors because I didn't 

   reboot

   df
  Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
   /dev/sda1        6537352 2574324   3607908  42% /
   udev              499508       4    499504   1% /dev
   tmpfs             203328     876    202452   1% /run
   none                5120       0      5120   0% /run/lock
   none              508316     200    508116   1% /run/shm
   /dev/sdb1       15073280 1853092  13203804  13% /usr

All is good. Now I feel safe to 

   df
   Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
   /dev/sda1        6537352  673724   5508508  11% /

   tmpfs             203328     876    202452   1% /run
   none                5120       0      5120   0% /run/lock
   none              508316     200    508116   1% /run/shm
   /dev/sdb1       15073280 1853092  13203804  13% /usr

My 8G SSD now has some breating room.
