Re: Bakit ako gagamit ng linux? anu ba advantage nito at ano ba ang mapapal

Sorry nakalimutan ko:slap:

Centos 6.5 32bit gamit ko CLI or minimal install lang..

Ganito ung situation:

1 physical and 2 logical volume

Volume1 - 50gb
Volume2 - 100gb

Balak kong gawin na 100gb ung Volume1 and 50gb ung Volume2 so ni reduce ko ung size ng Volume2.

After that, gumamit ako ng resize2fs command sa Volume1 which is successful pero nung tinry ko mag resize2fs sa Volume2 is my error.

Ang sabi eh hindi tugma ung superblock size sa physical size. Nag try ako ng fixes sa net which is ung e2fsck pero no luck.


Anu ba ang filesystem na ginamit sa volume1 at volume2?
I suppose you used ext3 or ext4 filesystem kasi resize2fs is only for that family of filesystem.

e2fsck wont help as it is only for checking the filesystem, not resizing.
Gaano ba kalaki ung harddrive?
I suppose na more than 150gb kasi, ngawa mo I-expand ung partition 1 from 50 to 100gb. Meaning may space pa infront of partition 1.

regarding partition 2, may laman na ba ito? at anu filesystem nito?
Baka more than 50gb na laman nun keya ndi mo na maresize?

A better solution, download slacko, a variant of puppy Linux.
Install it in a usb drive.
Run it on your computer then run gparted.
Now, graphically manage your drives/filesytem with gparted.
Ang hirap kasi sa CLI, ndi ka man lang mkpgscreenshot.

Now, in case there are errors, kindly take screenshot, or copy the whole output (this should include the command you invoked that produced the error) from the command-line and post it in here.

mga idol sa linux wala po bang ibang drive kung saan pede mag save ng mga files tulad ng sa ibang OS??

First, why do you need this?
Second, for any other purpose you have, the quick answer is YES!

The only thing is that you should have a BASIC KNOWLEDGE of the LINUX FILESYSTEM
first.

What you should know?
1. Drives on windows are much more known as "partition" on linux. therefor,
when you say drive C on windows, it might also be called "partition C" on linux.

2. There are no drive letters on linux like those on windows. There is no such thing
as drive C, drive D, etc. So dont look for that on linux. Linux has its own way of
representing "partitions" w/c differs on windows.

3. On windows, drives or "partitions" are represented as "separate" entities. Also,
windows automatically loads drives or "partitions" once detected. For example,
if you have a virus-infested usb drive and you plugged it on your windows computer,
viruses will hapilly get inside your system because windows will automatically load it.

Linux is not like that. You can imagine the Linux filesystem as one big tree.
And as a tree, the main part where everything starts is called the "root filesystem".
Like a real tree, the "root" holds all parts of the filesystem to form one, big
tree of files and directories.

Now, in order for "partitions" to be accessed by the linux system, it needs to be
"mounted" first.

The "main partition" that contains the system is mounted at the root partition at a
specific "mount point" represented by "/" .


So, you may always see directories on linux written like this:

/home/myname/documents

The "/" at the beginning means the root filesystem, and from there you'll find the home directory
and so on. No Drive letters. Other "/" aside from the beginning are mrely file separators.

On linuxmint, for example, you plugged in a usb drive and opened dolphin file manager
to browse your usb drive drive (supposing it is a 2GB usb drive) .

You may locate your usb drive specified by something like:
"2.0 GB Hard Drive"

Clicking it, you may see on the adress bar:
/media/myname/{Oksi83o4i598fc3040}

Again, no drive letters.
Your usb drive is automatically assigned and mounted at:
/media/myname

Meaning, in a linux filesystem, any other partition aside from the
"main partition" , to be accessible, should become part of the "tree"
and to be part of the tree, the "partition" should be "mounted" at a
specific "mount point", which means, a certain part of the tree.

There are no drive letters on linux because drive letters denotes
separate "filesystem hierarchy". Which is the opposite.

The linux filesystem is one big tree and each branch, or directory may specify
another partition. Therefor, no need for drive letters.

This approach is highly considered to give better data security.

If your confused, the best way to learn is to use a certain "user-friendly"
linux distro like LinuxMint or Ubuntu. Its to learn something you cant see
nor interact with.

Now, how can you create a separate "partition/drive" on linux? Its simple.
create a partition using your distro's graphical partition manager (not CLI
or Command-Line Interface).

Now, if you want your partition to be automatically mounted at a specific directory
at boot-time, just edit your fstab file.

Ano po ba pinagkaiba-iba ng Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Gnome, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu??
Tska halimbawa na nag dualbot ako sa linux at windows tpos nag recover ako sa windows, mabubura ba yung LinuxOS ko nun kahit nsa ibang partition sya? (di kasama sa recovery yung linuxos)

Ubuntu desktop is the main Ubuntu Distro w/c is desktop-oriented w/c uses Unity as its Desktop Environment.
Ubuntu Server is for server uses.
Ubuntu Gnome is another Ubuntu-based distro that prefers Gnome Desktop Environment over Unity.
Kubuntu is another Ubuntu-based distro that prefers KDE Desktop Environment over Unity.
LUbuntu Gnome is another Ubuntu-based distro that prefers LXDE Desktop Environment over Unity.
XUbuntu Gnome is another Ubuntu-based distro that prefers XFCE Desktop Environment over Unity.
Ubuntu Kylin is only for chineese users, you wont need it.

Ou, its possible na mabura ang Linux Distro mo kapag nag-Windows recovery ka.
Bkit kasi kelangan mag Windows Recovery?
If you really need still to do that, I suggest you to use CloneZilla to copy your Linux Partition and reinstall it as if it nothing happened.
Dito na IT naming keya I-google mo na lang?

meron ako linux. Cylon Linux. Ano ba kagandahan nya sa ibang linux distro?

Nadinig ko na yan, kaso ndi ko pa natry. Sorry.

1. Filesystem type is ext4. Ginamit ko ung e2fsk command kasi yun po ung ni-recommend sa cli nung unsuccessful yung resize2fs command.

2. HDD size is 250+ gb

3. Walang laman yung isang partition, sure ako kasi bagong format lang yun last month. As in deleted lahat ng laman.

Anyways, nag format ako ulit and woking na yung system, kaso bumalik yung mga sizes dun sa dati which is yung unang problema ko.

Gusto ko lang malaman kung ano ung possible cause and fixes for future uses. Thanks!:thumbsup:
 
Re: Bakit ako gagamit ng linux? anu ba advantage nito at ano ba ang mapapal

:) try ko mag linux ulit pag ka meron na akong lappy.. mukhang mas ok kasi gumamit ng linux pag sa lappy eh.. pag desktop kc nasa bahay lang di ko madala dala sa ibang lugar para matest ung gustu kong itest.. like u know? haha

windows user ako pero natry ko na linuxmint via usb gusto ko mag dual boot kaso nakakatakot mag instal
na experience ko dati nasira windows os ko so nag try ako ng linux mint kasi wala ako installer ng windows nung iniistal ko na hindi nag instal tas finormat ko ule ung harddrive para mawala ung partition sa pgkakalikot ayun na block ung 700gb hard ko

ngaun gumagamit ako ng windows 7 ultimate local c 150gb (100gb free) local d 150gb (20gb free)
natatakot ako pag nagpartition baka mali n nmn magawa ko

salamats sa mga info mga ka sb
kaya gusto ko to itry e kahit may phobia :D

Re: Bakit ako gagamit ng linux? anu ba advantage nito at ano ba ang mapapal

Mga boss may tanong ako.

Sa trinatrabahu-an ko po, gusto nila mag linux kasi free daw at upgrade din kami ng Software. Pero may mga nagsasabing na hindi daw to pwede lalo na sa BIR. Alam niyo naman ngayon na ang NBI ay romoronda sa buong Pilipinas dahil sa mga PIRACY. Nagsearch na ako sa Licensing about Linux OS kung pwede ba to commercial use? Pero confused pa ako.

Salamat po sa mga sasagot :) I need more info before magreport sa boss namin :)
 
Boss tanong ko lang po. meron ka po bang tutorial kung paano ko magagamit yung mga installed themes sa linux mint 13 ko. at kung paano ko din magagamit yung mga dinownload kong themes, applet, at desklet ba un?? salamat po

Nagdownload po kasi ako ng themes dun sa mismong website ng cinnamon. sa Cinnamon setting>themes>Get new themes. Nadownload siya as .zip. Yun nga lang hindi ko alam kung paano ko siya magagamit. nagdownload din ako ng desktop cube, at iba pa. salamat po

Mostly, (or all) Linux distros are using GNU Licences.
Informing you straightforward,
GNU Licences does not restrict anyone from using SOftwares like Linux Operating Systems for any purposes.
There are no piracy issues on Linux. Read the Licenses, you may use, or even CHANGE and DISTRIBUTE
linux distros given you follow the terms, and that is simply indicate that you changed something.

Though, these hold true for all non-proprietary Linux Distros. But opposite for enterprise ones like RHEL.
Sa pinakasimple, basta yung ginamit mong linux distro ay walang bayad, walang nakalagay na "ENTERPRISE"
pwede mo gamitin yan for any purpose, even for business w/out worrying about PIRACY issues.

To install themes on cinnamon:
1. Go to your home folder. If you dont know, its located at /home, usually /home/username.
You may open a terminal and type
echo $HOME
to see your home folder.

2. Find a folder named
.themes
Folders with names that start with a dot (like .themes) are hidden.
So you should configure nemo to "show hidden files".
3. Extract the contents of your zipped theme files on .themes folder.
4. Themes are now installed. Activate it on setting>theme.

To install applets on cinnamon:
1. Go to your home folder. If you dont know, its located at /home, usually /home/username.
You may open a terminal and type
echo $HOME
to see your home folder.

2. Find a folder named
.local
Folders with names that start with a dot (like .local) are hidden.
So you should configure nemo to "show hidden files".
3. Now go to /.local/share/cinnamon/applets folder.
Now, you should be at something like:
/home/username/.local/share/cinnamon/applets
4. Extract the contents of your zipped applet files here.


To install desklets on cinnamon:
1. Go to your home folder. If you dont know, its located at /home, usually /home/username.
You may open a terminal and type
echo $HOME
to see your home folder.

2. Find a folder named
.local
Folders with names that start with a dot (like .local) are hidden.
So you should configure nemo to "show hidden files".
3. Now go to /.local/share/cinnamon/desklets folder.
Now, you should be at something like:
/home/username/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets
4. Extract the contents of your zipped desklet files here.


If you want to use your themes, desklets and applets from linux mint 13 to linux mint 17 (both cinnamon edition, of course)
Simply copy/move the contents of these folders from mint 13 partition to mint 17 partition:

themes: ~/.themes
desklets: ~/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets
applets: ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets

NOTE: the "~" on linux, refering to directories, (like ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets) means home folder.
So for example, if your home folder is /home/KristyMaeChiu, then ~/.themes will expand to
/home/KristyMaeChiu/.themes

and ~/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets = /home/KristyMaeChiu/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets
and ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets = /home/KristyMaeChiu/.local/share/cinnamon/applets

Re: Bakit ako gagamit ng linux? anu ba advantage nito at ano ba ang mapapal

Whooa! Dami kong nalalaman sa Linux ah, lalo tuloy akong nacucurious.
May nabasa kasi akong forum mga last month lang na balak daw ng microsoft na i-phase out na din ang windows 7
at mas ipropromote nila ang windows 8.1.
Which is sabi ng prof. ko na may kakilala na nagtatrabaho sa microsoft eh pinagdedebatehan pa daw tong issue na to.
Kaya marami na rin nagsabi na instead of using windows, mag-switch na lang daw sa Linux,
gusto ko ng itry dati kaya nga lang di ko magawa kaso lang 3 kameng gumagamit ng pc na to, kaya di ko pa malayang
nagagawa yung mga gusto kong gawin, ako lang taga-maintain nito hahaha.
Sa mga nabasa ko naman sa thread na to, mukang madaming positive feedbacks yung mga Linux user.
Kaya parang gusto ko ng itry pero marami pa kong gustong malaman about sa linux kaya magbabasa basa muna ko
bago ko subukan to.
Salamat sa thread na to, tambay na lang muna ko dito hehehe

Kung madami kayo gumagamit ng pc, pwede ka naman magdual-boot then make windows the default OS sa grub boot loader.

If you want to learn linux, i recommend for you to learn first the
Linux File System Hierarchy.

Such questions like "asaan yung drive letter? or drive C sa linux?"
"Asaan yung home folder ko?"
"Ano yung root?"

And specific things on how to navigate files on linux should be learned in advance.
Though, hindi naman ganoon kahirap matutunan. Lalo na kpag kaharap mo na si linux.

Later, you should learn also basic symbols like ~ / * and other command-line codes.
goodluck.

ung best sa specs ng laptop ku...
 
boss nagawa ko na po yung sinabi nyo. at nakita ko na sya sa settings/themes. tanong ko lang po kung paano ba sya iactivate??? pag i click ko sya wala namang nagbabago. pag riht click, wala din. pasensya na po kung marami akong tanong..

pati po yung desktop cube,hindi ko din po sya makita sa settings/extensions...

taz kung pede din pong makahingi ng installer ng wine for linux. hindi po kasi magdownload gamit ang software manager. salamat po
