Resize partition solution -and- problem.
First ... I'd like to say kudos to Larry (Dazed) and all the great guys
that give their time so generously at the monthly Installfests, providing
such excellent help.
Last Saturday, while trying to shrink a 40-gig partition on my xp laptop
so I could add Linux, we ran into a stumbling block with Gparted not
working.
Since then, I've been searching for other options. Knoppix CD had one
called QTParted that seemed to work better than Gparted ... but it also
did not work.
Finally, I found a really slick, free download GUI partition editing
bootable CD here: www.PartitionWizard.com/download.html ... with an iso
named: pwhe7.iso
When loading, it showed the name tinycore as its Linux platform, and
when loaded it had the slickest (by far) graphical interface of any
partition editor I've seen ... and it worked great and fast. I used
'chkdsk' and 'defrag' on the 40-gig hard disk and that seemed to show that
only about 20% of the disk was used with no indicted disk usage beyond the
50% point on the disk. So, I decided to just shrink the xp partition to
22 gig which I though would avoid damaging any of the xp files on the
disk.
That left 16 gig free to install Linux, so I used 3.6 gig for / 3.9 gig
for swap and the remaining 10 gig for /home
Installation of Kubuntu 12.04 went flawlessly and it works fine ...
however ... the GNU GRUB version 1.99-21-ubuntu3 boot that Kubuntu
installed shows 5 entries of which only the first four work:
- Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic-pae
- Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic-pae (recovery mode)
- Memory test (memtest86+)
- Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)
But xp does not boot.
Grub offers an option to edit each entry, and when I do that
to the M$ entry, this is what I see:
setparams 'Microsoft Windows XP Professional ()on /dev/sda1)
insmod part-msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 01CD5DCE2C361380
drivemap -s (hd0) ${root)
chainloader +1
*** So *** what can I do to fix grub so it will boot xp?
Or have I completely destroyed it?

Re: networking problem
Mike, First reinitialize the known_hosts file by the following from your ssh client box: cd ~/.ssh rm known_hosts ssh username@IP address of ssh host box - Ubuntu will ask you for confirmation of your request to setup a key on the server - Type yes or 'y' which ever it asks for type in password when prompted - you should now have prompt for username@ip address of ssh host box:$ This should rewrite the known_hosts file in your user directory on the client box At this point you should be able to ssh into your host by using the username@ip address of host box If you can't than perhaps you setup up public keys for authentication. If you have public keys setup than you should see 2 files named id_rsa and id_rsa.pub on your ssh client machine in a directory named /home/username/.ssh. id_rsa is your private key that needs to remain here. The id_rsa.pub is the public key that needs to be copied to your ssh server. If you see the id_rsa.pub file and you still know your passphrase that you setup (if you set one up) than it is a matter of appending id_rsa.pub into a file called authorized_keys located in ~/.ssh on the host computer. If you only have the single client connected to the host than you can rename the authorized_keys file on your host and append id_rsa.pub to a new version. NOTE if you do not see the id_rsa.pub file and only have the id_rsa file than you will need to generate a new set of public keys (see Method 2). Method 1 If you have been able to establish simple ssh between the 2 boxes, from the client computer (where id_rsa.pub is found) it might be as simple as typing the following: ssh username@host ip address cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or after establishing an ssh connection typing the following: cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub If ssh is not working you will need to get the id_rsa.pub onto the host computer and append it from there. Logon to host computer as user to be authenticated and copy the file using scp command and place it in the ~/.ssh directory. Method 2 (New keys) To generate new keys type the following from the client box (do not do this using sudo or as root but as your own username): ssh-keygen -t rsa - Ubuntu will prompt you for the location to place the key pairs just pick the default - You will be prompted for a passphrase - You will be asked for passphrase confirmation Then copy the id-rsa.pub file to the host computer by Method 1. -- James --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
OT: Software Licensing Fees
Hi All, I'm in a bit of a quandary about fees I'm receiving from a long time client and thought I'd tap the PLUG brain-trust to get some input. This situation is this: A few years ago I developed a PHP application that a client uses to run their business (its a typical LAMP platform). Without getting into tedious details, this software application is used to run their entire business. It is understood that the software ownship resides with me and they are paying for its use - licensing it, if you will. At the start of this project, we agreed upon a certain percentage of gross revenue that I would receive as payment for use of this software. In return, I would maintain the software, provide various updates or additions, and some light server admin work to keep the application running. This arrangement has been working quite well and the business relationship is excellent. However, I feel now that the percentage I receive is too low (it hasn't been changed since the start of this venture). I have broached the subject of having to update our arrangement, but was met with some resistance. I wanted to ask fellow consultants/contractor/software devs what is the going rate for such an arrangement. Namely, if you are licensing a software product to a client for their use, what is a reasonable percentage of gross revenue a business should expect to pay. Especially, a software product that is the core component of their business without which the business wouldn't exist. Any thoughts would be *very* appreciated.

But xp does not boot.
The Windows bootloader stores information about how big the partitions on
the hard drive are. If you change a partition size, Windows checks the new
partition size at the very next reboot (using either chkdsk in XP or a new
utility in Vista/Windows 7). It then writes that info to its bootloader
configuration file. If you start mucking around with other partitions
before it has a chance to record the changes and reset itself accordingly,
the Windows bootloader will not be able to read the partition table
properly (and will then refuse to boot entirely).
Since Grub boots Windows merely by chainloading the Windows bootloader, if
the Windows bootloader doesn't work (i.e. doesn't recognize its own changed
partition), then you are sunk.
If you ignore these warnings, I almost guarantee you will fry your Windows
partitioning scheme and be unable to boot up Windows.
Reference:

Windows partitions
It is easiest if your Windows partition is the first one installed. This is
because the Windows bootloader looks for Windows in the first partition.
Also, Windows installers are unpredictable and can overwrite anything that
is already installed on the hard drive.
If you have a brand new computer with no OS pre-installed, partitioning and
OS installation is much easier. Create all your partitions before
installing Windows. Make the first partition NTFS (or the less secure
FAT32, if you wish), intending it for the Windows installation. Then divide
the remainder of the hard drive (using
GPartedhttp://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:All#GParted_Partition_Manager)
using the partitioning scheme outlined
abovehttp://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation#Partition_design.
Generally, a retail boxed version of Windows (instead of an OEM or
backup copy) installs quite happily to the first pre-configured,
pre-sized partition. Go ahead and install it there, then skip on ahead
to installing
the Linux
OSshttp://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation#Install_your_first_Linux_OS.
Windows XP (or earlier)
You *can* use
GPartedhttp://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:All#GParted_Partition_Managerto
resize a Windows XP partition directly (without needing
re-installation), but it is still best to reboot Windows XP twice after
resizing its partition (before taking any other steps with GParted).
Review this
tutorialhttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/working-around-windows-vistas-shrink-volume-inadequacy-problems/'s
section Making Shrink Volume Work. Although Windows XP does not have a
shrink volume utility, to resize the partition using GParted, these steps
must be taken anyway. Specifically:
- Use the Disk Cleanup Wizard to remove unnecessary files.
- Uninstall deadwood programs and unneeded/unwanted Windows Components

Re: networking problem
Mike, By default the sshd_config file in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (If that is what you are using Debian and Mint should work the same) in /etc/ssh should have the following defaults set under # Authentication: StrictMode yes RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes You should not have to change any of these settings. With these 3 settings set to yes RSA, and public keys are automacally activated for use. Ubuntu will first search for an authorize_key in the ~/.ssh directory if it finds it it will try and resolve the id_rsa key pairs. If these keys no longer match then you will get a failed to connect error in the terminal. Only IF it doesn't find an authorize_key will it default to the known_host file. So If you are still having issues connecting and you see that you have an authorize_key file in ~/.ssh then try renaming it as well as removing the known_hosts and restarting ssh either by: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart or sudo service ssh reload Then try a basic ssh into the host from the client to reestablish the known_host file. If you are able to log on then proceed to generate new keys per Method 2 and copy them to the host machine by Method 1.

Re: networking problem
One other quick item, in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file check to see of the following line is comment out or not: AuthorizedKeyFile%h/.ssh/authorized_keys (default is commented out) If it isn't commented out and you still can't access simple ssh then comment it out and restart ssh. Once you have simple known_host resolution and want to reestablish keys than remove the # write and save the sshd_config and restart ssh -- James --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: Resize partition solution -and- problem.
Joe, I do not know that partitioning tool so I do not know for sure it can
be trusted to safely shrink the ntfs partition on which your XP was
running. What should have happened if it did the right things is that when
you next booted XP, the XP bootloader would note the change in the
partition size and run chkdsk to check it out and then XP would load.
So here are a couple of questions:
1 - Did you reboot XP after resizing the partition but before installing
kubuntu (not requiredm but tell us so we know)
2 - When you say the 5th GRUB menu item (XP) does not work, what do you
mean. In other words, what does and does not happen. Is there any output
such as error messages. or ...?

Installation of Kubuntu 12.04 went flawlessly and it works fine ...
however ... the GNU GRUB version 1.99-21-ubuntu3 boot that Kubuntu
installed shows 5 entries of which only the first four work:
- Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic-pae
- Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic-pae (recovery mode)
- Memory test (memtest86+)
- Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)
But xp does not boot.
Grub offers an option to edit each entry, and when I do that
to the M$ entry, this is what I see:
setparams 'Microsoft Windows XP Professional ()on /dev/sda1)
insmod part-msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 01CD5DCE2C361380
drivemap -s (hd0) ${root)
chainloader +1
*** So *** what can I do to fix grub so it will boot xp?
Or have I completely destroyed it?
