[SOLVED] Help, trying to set up LVM

I am using the Wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lvm#Partition_disks) on an existing install. Here are the drives and partitions currently:
40gb IDE
- 5gb = mysql database
- 35gb = mythrecordings
320gb SATA
- 10gb = /
- 15gb = /home
- 3gb = swap
- 280gb = mythrecordings
500gb SATA
- all one partition
1. This part at "Partition Disks" (link above) confuses me:
Next you need to create a partition for LVM. Its filesystem type should be 'Linux LVM', so use a partition id 0x8e (filesystem type: 8e).
I don't understand that part, looking in Gparted I don't see any option to format to a "8e" filesystem, same with cfdisk
2. It recommends to have boot on a partition outside of LVM, so would I leave one tiny partition on one of the disks and just put /boot in there?
Thanks very much for any help

Thanks Berticus!
I'm wondering too, it doesn't mention in the Wiki, but when I convert a partition with data on it to the LVM in cfdisk, will I lose the data (it formats)??
EDIT: Nevermind, saw that I must create new FS after I've partitionted to LVM

HT201320 Help trying to set up my wanadoo email account on my iPhone

Help! Not a clue how to set up my wanado email account on my iphone5

You have an email provider. This is not Thunderbird. You access the email account that you have with your provider on devices like phones and computers using an email client software. You setup the client software with the details for your provider like server names and ports. Your phone should have come with an email client software installed. Use that to check your email.
Thunderbird has nothing to do with checking your email on your phone.
You can always use your providers web mail account and log into that using a browser like Firefox or Chrome. Then there is no need for email client software.

This has nothing to do with iPhoto. When I have this type of problem I call tech support for my email service. They probably are the only source of the correct settings

Trying to set download apps...says it needs my credit card info...I put it in....but then it won't take it because it says I need to enter my zip code. I live in Canada and have a postal code, not a zip code. Help

I am trying to set up my new Iphone 4 and download apps. I made an Apple Id which is all good. But when I try and enter in my credit card info it keeps asking for my Zip code and state. I live in Canada not US. I changed the phone to Canadian but it still keeps asking for it and won't let me put in my right information which in turn won't let me download any apps. Can anyone help?

Postal & Zip codes are same. Just enter postal code without space. It will accept.

Not a solution yet, but received the following from one of the tech people I've been e-mailing back & forth with.
"I'm sorry that you have been unable to submit your podcast. The podcast submission form is currently offline. When trying to submit the podcast you will receive this message "We are Currently Experienced Technical Difficulties". Once the issue has been resolved, I would be glad to inform you.
Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
Who knows, maybe the problem isn't with my feed after all.

Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Have you already verified your "new" email address? If not then please check your inbox for a confirmation email (also the junk folder). If you do not have a confirmation email then please sign in at https://appleid.apple.com and press "verify" for confirming your email address.

In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified. To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link. Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

I've tried looking at my own itunes account but I cannot seem to find the allowance account, it says I currently have zero allowance accounts.
All I want to do is change the assigned email address.

Who is the email provider? Not all accounts can be set up as POP3

Hello tom,
I understand you are having issues activating an iPhone 3G. The following article addresses the exact error message you included:
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424
Resolution
- Restart the iPhone.
- Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
- Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
- Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
- Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.
