[Solved] Like to Safely Add a New Paritition

Hey guys.  I'd like to add a partition at the end of my disk because I like to try new distro's when the come out.  Currently I got Vista at the first part of the disk followed by my Arch partitions:
Model: ATA WDC WD3200AAJS-2 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 320GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 10.7GB 10.7GB primary fat32
2 10.7GB 94.6GB 83.9GB primary ntfs boot
3 94.6GB 320GB 225GB extended
5 94.6GB 148GB 53.7GB logical ext4
6 148GB 319GB 172GB logical ext4
Will gparted allow me to safely resize my /dev/sda6 to be able to add another partition?  I've looked at the gparted website and it does say it has the ability to shrink/grow ext4 but I wanted to get user input and see if there was anything I should know first.

The fat32 is probably his recovery partition, if you'll notice its partition 2 that is flagged boot, probably his Vista install is there. My laptop is configured that way, OEM.
And yes, I have done it with gparted. They have warnings concerning partitions over a 100 GB in size, but I didn't experience data loss (that said, I had a full backup of the system just prior to attempting this). Make sure your power will NOT cut off halfway, you could lose the entire extended partition.

  • How can I add a new submitbutton is like an oracle button?

    Hi everybody, I wanna add a new submitbutton to page(xxxxPG.xml). There are some oracle buttons in the page. But, when I add a new submitbutton to page, it is looking like a windows button. What should I do? Thanks...

    Hi there,
    Generally the attribute sets should work but not sure how you are attaching it dynamically. Please check the OA Fwk Guide page 134,135 and 171 to 175.
    It might be some precedence over writing your settings, just create a submit button and assign the attribute set don't set anything else. See if it is rendered
    properly as you want and then try to play around with it. Hope this helps.

  • I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface

    Hi,  I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface.
    I have recently installed the new camera profile 'Studio Portrait' which i download from here:
    http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/file/studio-portrait.html
    When I open up a RAW files in Camera RAW, go to 'Camera Calibration', click on the drop down list called
    'Camera Profile'  I only see  'Adobe Standard, Faithful etc etc'.
    My questions are, can i add the same camera profile i put in my camera, into a folder with in photoshop?
    Or is photoshop reading the raw file and only seeing the default camera profiles?
    If I could see the new camera profile listed it would help with work flow.
    Best
    JL-B
    Please help, ive not had a good time waiting on the phone and trying to explain this to a live chat, hours have been wasted. Once i know the answer I can get back to the commission.

    Are you following this
    Apply a camera profile
    To apply a camera profile, select it from the Camera Profile pop-up menu in the Camera Calibration tab of the Camera Raw dialog box. The Adobe Standard profile for a camera is named Adobe Standard. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix Camera in the profile name. The Camera Profile pop-up menu displays only profiles for your camera.
    If the only profile in the Camera Profilemenu is Embedded, it means that you have selected a TIFF or JPEG image. Adobe Standard and Camera Matching profiles work only with raw images.
    Note:  If you have selected a raw file and Adobe Standardand Camera Matching profiles do not appear in the Camera Profilepop-up menu, download the latest Camera Raw update.

    I would like to ask the following question. I am using mac os x 10.9 maverics me quicktime player version 10.3. Can I trim a video recording without having to press the pause or save it as a file? Or can I add a new recording to a video file? Thanks in advance

    Well,
    I tried the "Internet Recovery" option and finally saw Mac OS X Mountain Lion's install page but after waiting 7 hours when I just thought its going to start installing, I got another progress bar with 36 hours remining time to download "Additional Components" then after progressing 2-3 hours, it shows "Unable to write installation something..., Contact Apple Care"
    Then I accidently rebooted the machine and now it seems Internet Recovery don't work anymore, it shows "support.apple.com - 40 something!" error, and finally when I tried to reboot using Recovery HD, I found it's gone as-well!
    To be honest, I don't know what to do now, I am and dissapointed... also I do not have any Apple Store nearby, there is an authorized country reseller almost 650/km far away from my residents and they even charges too high (like $250) for doing such repairs (as per phone conversation)
    If anyone have any idea or anything to help me with, please do share- I'd be eternally grateful!

  • I would like to add a new card date field to my address Book Contacts. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeff

    Hi,
    I would like to add a new card date field to my Address Book Contacts. Is there any way to do this? I have a lot of contacts and it helps me remember who I talked to, if I had a new card date field in my contacts.
    Thank you,
    Jeff

    Hi,
    I found the applescript below from Michael Bach that works well.
    (* Find recently modified entries in the Address Book
    Input: a time interval (backwards from today) in the variable "daysBeforeToday"
    Output: a string on the clipboard, format: YYYY-MM-DD (tab) Name (return)
    ©2009, Michael Bach, <www.michaelbach.de> *)
    set daysBeforeToday to 7 -- <<<  change as desired or read from a dialog
    tell application "Address Book"
      copy (current date) - daysBeforeToday * 24 * minutes * 60 to referenceDate
      copy (every person whose (modification date > referenceDate)) to modifiedPersons
      set s to ""
      repeat with aPerson in modifiedPersons
        set d to ((modification date) of aPerson) -- now change to international format and forget the hours
        set dateString to (year of d as string) & "-" & (my twoDigits((month of d) as number)) & "-" & (my twoDigits(day of d) as string)
        set s to s & dateString & tab & (name of aPerson) & return
      end repeat
      set the clipboard to s --for pasting into other applications
      s -- to view immediately in the script editor
    end tell
    on twoDigits(aNumber) -- trivial utility for formatting
      if aNumber < 10 then return "0" & (aNumber as string)
      return (aNumber as string)
    end twoDigits
    I changed the modification date to creation date.
    Thanks for the replies.

  • Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U?

    I Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U?  If I click either yes or no, the same box just reopens.  As far as I know, I have not done anything with iTunes U.  The software is up to date and I have also reinstalled itunes.  Any ideas?

    Since this problem, I was able to reinstall again and reboot, and then 'stop' while the library was being opened (that was another window that I could not close, that would come up before the error message, this time I chose to stop it).  Now only music I have purchased appears, none of my other >1,000 albums I manually added via my CD collection.  About 10% are in different music folders (I don't know why they aren't in the same one), but the other 90% are missing.  Any ideas??

  • I cannot sign into iCloud on my iMac.  I have read all of the help information, but that isn't working.  I cannot do anything with my system preferences - like add a new printer - because it won't log me in, sign me out, forget password doesn't work, etc.

    I have been unable to log in to iCloud on my iMac.  None of the hints online have worked.  I can't sign in (with any password), sign out, the forget password doesn't work, the support button doesn't work.  It's locked.  I can't find anyway to fix this - I need to add a new printer ASAP - help!!!

    The "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" window popped up a couple of weeks ago and is asking for my Apple ID password, which it will not accept,  It won't sign me out (I am not logged in), the support or forgot password buttons won't work.  With this window stuck open, I cannot access anything on system preferences.  I can't find any way to make it go away.  I have tried both my current and old Apple ID passwords, tried using FaceTime to login with the newer password, etc.

  • Can the "ADD-A-NEW-TAB" button be reconfigured to be adjacent to existing tabs (like it used to be)? I am a left-handed tablet user who finds it's position on the far right side of screen very inconvenient.

    In previous version of Firefox, the "add-a-new-tab" button has been located to the right of any existing tabs. In the latest version it's been moved to the far right of the screen. In tablet mode, this is too far to reach conveniently for a left-hander. I cannot find any controls to re-configure it to the way it used to be and I can't "drag" it to where I want it. Is there a way to relocate it?

    Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

  • I Can Add a new user, But the new user cannot logg in how can I solve this?

    Hi there. When I add a new user every thing works great except when I try to logg this new user. The computer freezers at the logging window with the processing bar working indefinetly. To fix it I have to AppleCtrlpower swich to get out and restrat the computer. I can only logg in as the administrator... Can any one help me and point me to a right solution. Thank you!

    Javivi:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It is difficult to tell why your new user account is not working, but one has to start some place.
    First try Starting up in Safe Mode. Log in with the original user account, the restart the computer normally and log into the original user account. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Launch Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel and First Aid in the main panel. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU.
    Go to System Prefs > Accounts and recheck the new account, especially the login options. If everything seems OK quit System Preferences and restart. Try logging into the new accounts. If you have problems force shut down and Start up in Safe Mode again.
    It may be easiest to just delete the new account and start over, as you do not yet have any data in it. However, if you want to continue to trouble shoot we can try it for a while.
    Please post back with a report of your experience and any questions or comments you may have.
    Good luck.

  • How to add a new data element for existing table filed(Primary key field)

    Hi Experts,
    How to add a new data element for existing table field(Primary key field)
    For this filed ther is no foreign key relation ships and even check table.
    while activating table it is giving message like below.
    can you help any one to solve this and wil steps to add new dataelement for existing primary key filed of a table.
    Check table (NAMING SPACE/TABLE NAME(EX:/TC/VENDOR)) (username/19.02.10/03:29)           
    Primary key change not permitted for value table /TC/VENDOR
    Check on table  /TC/VENDOR resulted in errors              
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi,
    Easiest way is to download the table eg into an Excel table (if possible) or text table. Drop the table from the database. Build your table with the new key field. Build the database table again and fill it.
    You can do it also over the database into a new table. Drop the old one. Build the enhanced one and fill it. Afterwards drop your (temporary) table.
    Maybe there are other ways, but this works.
    Success,
    Rob

  • Can't add a new NOWS SBE 2.5 server to an existing eDir

    Hi!
    I have problem to add a new NOWS SBE 2.5 server to an existing tree.
    I'm using the WEB administration interface > add-remove > eDirectory install.
    At the end the message is:
    "There was a problem with the component installation.
    NDS Configuration failed. Please re-install and verify all IP Addresses, Server Contexts and Passwords. If the install involved a remote tree, also verify time synchronization between the servers."
    Please help
    TIA

    1. How it can influence the other components installations?
    2. Shall I continue and install the other components using the WEB administation like installing the iManager?
    3. I'm trying to install NCP. It was supposed to be installed automatically when installing eDir.

    Hi Nanu,
    I'm glad you got it working. This is what you have to remember about NOWS SBE...
    The install scripts install components in a certain way and add the ability to manage them from the Simba web interface. When the components don't install correctly and you open an SR, my experience has been that the Engineer tries to get the product installed and working rather than trying to fix the problem that caused the install to fail.
    When you say that he did a manual install, that can mean several things:
    If he manually ran the NOWS SBE install script it should be installed the way NOWS SBE expects it to be.
    If he installed the component the way he would normally do on an OES system, then the NOWS SBE specific components/configuration are likely missing.
    If option 2 was used, you may have issues trying to manage the component from the Simba GUI and may experience other issues as you try to install other components. I expect it will also affect the installation of patches. I now choose to manually install all components and not use the Simba GUI just to avoid these issues. If the Simba web interface doesn't show eDir as installed, it is likely you won't be able to install other components that depend on it.
    If you suspect the Engineer fixed eDir but broke NOES SBE, I would reopen the SR or open a new one and let Novell correct the problem. Another option might be to begin a new installation and manually install all the components.

  • Adding an Adjustment Preset which adds a new brick?

    I've created some new presets with good results but now I want to do something slightly different.
    After picking Auto Enhance, I'd like to back down the red in an image. I can go to the Levels brick and pick the red Channel and make an adjustment there but I want a way to create a 'Less Red' Preset that doesn't step on any prior values in that brick. Adjusting a brick in a Preset overwrites the prior values. Better, I'd like a Preset that adds a new Levels brick and tweaks only the red setting. (Yes, I know I can lower the Red saturation in a very detailed manner in a the Color brick.)
    How do I create a preset that creates a new instance of a brick?

    Yes, your suggested 'NeilsGlyphs' solution also solves the issue but my quest was for an ad hoc Red adjustment, not deciding up front that the image might need some Red bias later.
    So ... set the second Levels Brick to a null but enabled red adjustment.  Leave it untouched unless needed.
    In truth, the functionality you want is built into the Levels Brick, but is not displayed.  If you apply Auto-Levels, you will see the histogram change (assuming Auto-Levels makes changes).  You can then use the drop-down to change to "red".  Red, Green, and Blue are each _separate_ controls in the Levels Brick.  You can make changes to the red channel -- they do not in any way change the settings in the (combined) Luminance control.  You can see this by using the drop-down to return to "Luminance".
    Your "ad-hoc" red levels adjustment is always there, even after applying Auto-Levels.
    In essence, you want separate contols for Luminance and for individual color channels.  I do to.  I'd like to see the Levels Brick have an expanded view -- just like the Colors Brick is -- showing all four Levels controls: Combined Luminance, R, G, & B.  That it doesn't (afaict) baffles me: short experimentation with the Brick will show you that all four controls are separately contained in the Brick -- they're just not viewable all at once.
    NB: There is what I would classify as a bug in there as well.  The changes made to a color channel in the Levels Brick when they are made in addition to changes made to the (combined) Luminance channel are not picked up by the Lift & Stamp tool or when used in a Preset, even though the changes are applied to the Image.  The Levels Brick should be better implemented.
