Unfortunately their publicity is powerful than their products, I
really hate cisco and those all noobs who claim about the cisco
training... in the real world, cisco is attached to a their
restrictive, not efficient and expensive platform, and that is the
truth.

I will save this mail when my boss will decide to buy any cisco crap :S.

Good luck Rafa!

You can also dd a single partition from A onto B, then run fdisk,
DELETE the partition and recreate it with bigger size, then run
resize2fs to extend the file system to fill the whole new partition.

(Of course resize2fs works only with ext2/ext3/ext4).

Not only dd, you could also simply use archive mode of rsync or cp.

I've done this before, and the system I'm using now is migrated from a 
250g to 500g.

At that time I used rsync and skipped directory /dev, /proc and /sys.
After a successful re-setup of grub, the system boots like a charm.

Re: [arch-general] how to migrate installs between hard drives?

2009-07-26 Thread Will Siddall
Thanks everyone for their suggestions.  I'm really tempted to give
each of these methods a try.  For the time being, I did get it
finished.  Without having to take all the hardware apart, I just made
a clean base install of arch onto the disk and use the livecd, mounted
the iso and copied everything over.
I'm up and running, but whenever this happens again, I'll be sure to
give your suggestions a try (and at least it's documented).

Thanks so much.

I agree. I use rsync to migrate between drives. Haven't had any problems yet. 
As Erwin wrote, you can use the -a switch and also the -v and --progress.

I do this booting with a LiveCD/USB image -> rsync to the temp server/system -

Once you rsync back to your laptop with the new drive. Boot with the 
LiveCD/USB image and check things like fstab or /boot/grub/menu.lst because 
the ID will have changed. Maybe you have to boot a couple of times with the 
LiveCD/USB image because you forgot to edit this or that file.

Okay:

A <- The disk that already has an installation but is smaller
B <- The disk that that you want to put the installation on

if you dd A onto B, B will get the partition structure from A and appear
smaller. However, you can edit the partition sizes using gparted like Dan
said, and make the partitions fill up the whole B disk.

Another option is using rsync to copy all files to the other disk. This can be 
done with a temporary server storage if necessary.  If you use the -a switch, 
it keeps permissions intact and works perfectly for Linux, not for Windows, 
but who uses that anyway? ;)

That's what I wanted to do, but since I'm working in a laptop, I can
only have one drive in at a time, which is making things really labour

1 question I do have is if I dd the entire disk (parition table and

What about a dd followed by using parted/gparted or whatever to resize

[arch-general] how to migrate installs between hard drives?

I know this isn't particularly an arch question, but I know Arch
people are better off to ask then most.

I'm in the process of upgrading my hard drive in my laptop but with
the amounts of customizations I've done to my setup, I don't want to
have to set it all up again.

I know about running dd to copy the partition information, but the
problem with that is that it also copies that partition information
over.  So, if I copy my root partition that started as a 40G partition
with 90% used and now I have a 60G parition, the used portion will be
kept at 90% so, it'll show something like 50G of data... which doesn't
make sense.

I've also just tried copying the partitions to an external, mount the
iso's in a livecd session then copy the data over, but for some reason
after I modified the menu.lst and fstab files to match my new setup
and then restart, the computer doesn't boot.

Is there something I'm missing in the second instance that I didn't
change a file that should be changed?  Is there a better way of
copying the partitions so I don't run into this problem?

Thanks,

Why are you using dev.archlinux.org instead of a mirror, BTW?

I've seen that there's a:

  says it can't find the file.


pcf2vnc /path/to/file.pcf

Seems easy. When it says it can't find the file, then you specified the 
wrong file. So what exactly is the problem?



- cisco-vpnclient: but it's out-dated


This software is the greatest piece of shit ever published from what I 
know. But what do you expect from Cisco? A company that solves security 
problems by preventing the details from being published can not be taken 
seriously. And a company that sells a VPN appliance that is insecure by 
design can't either.

[arch-general] Cisco VPN config

2009-07-26 Thread Rafa Griman
Hi :)

Got a Cisco VPN connection with my office, but can't manage to get it running. 
I've seen that there's a:

- vpnc package: installed it, but it doesn't import the .pcf file,
  says it can't find the file.

- cisco-vpnclient: but it's out-dated

I've been searching through the Wiki but haven't found any help on how to 
setup a Cisco VPN connection to my office. Anyone have a link or some tips 
they could share?

TIA

   Rafa

BTW Got the KMS + UXA running, seems I messed something up the other time I 
tried 0:) Thanks also for the kdmrc tip.

If you look at what is required in pacman you get

pacman-mirrorlist is just one file which you could include in pacman if 
you wanted. The bash dependency is just for makepkg.



libarchive:
depends=('zlib' 'bzip2' 'xz-utils' 'acl' 'openssl')


You can omit xz-utils. You can probably also omit bzip2, acl and 
openssl, check the configure options. I have no idea why libarchive 
would need openssl (and libdownload wouldn't).


zlib is just for gzip compression.
bzip2 is for bzip2 compression (which arch hasn't used so far) and 
xz-utils for lzma or xz compression, which we also don't use.
acl is needed for Access Control Lists, you probably want acl on any 
linux system anyway. If you are lucky, you can disable acl support in 
libarchive.



I still don't understand what you want to achieve. But whatever it is, 
resorting to an outdated version of pacman seems like the wrong solution.

As long as vim is not fixed this cannot move in, install the version from

The system doesn't have 
acl
attr
cracklib
gdbm
libarchive
libdownload
pacman
pacman-mirrorlist
pam
xz-utils
zlib

I will try building pacman,libarchive,libdownload and see how it will
go.

But really it is just libarchive and libdownload. The coreutils package

If you look at what is required in pacman you get

Pacman: depends=('bash' 'libarchive>=2.6.0' 'libdownload>=1.3'
'pacman-mirrorlist')
optdepends=('fakeroot: for makepkg usage as normal user'
'python: for rankmirrors script usage')
libarchive:
depends=('zlib' 'bzip2' 'xz-utils' 'acl' 'openssl')

libdownload:
depends=('glibc')

Ok: now second round dependencies.

'openssl':
depends=('zlib' 'perl')

'acl':
depends=('attr>=2.4.41')

'xz-utils' :
depends=('bash')

'bzip2':
depends=('glibc')

'zlib':
depends=('glibc')

Third round dependencies

perl:
depends=('gdbm' 'db>=4.7' 'coreutils' 'glibc' 'sh')

attr:
depends=('glibc') 

Fourth round dependencies:

gdbm:

db:

coreutils:


I think I'll stop now, I lost count

This pacmna build is for a non Arch system from 4 years back.

I think it's the same thing as

say there are 10 deps either.

Secure Connection Failed

dev.archlinux.org uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.

(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it
could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the
error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
