Hi Dave!
Now I understand, you left 15 GB free space - to later on test another distribution.
I only have one question: what's about swap? The forum and my own experience are showing, that there might be a bug. So, I'm asking:
The System Monitor/ Resources shows, if swap is active; could you please have a look at it and see:
x bytes ..% of 2 GiB
or
0 bytes (0.0 %) of 0 bytes
?

I don't think I've ever had an issue with swap. I have 1GB of RAM, and I have yet to use it all. I only run two or three things at a time. (Firefox, Rythmbox and maybe Thunderbird ocassionally).
I'm going to mark this solved, as it appears everything went well.
I appreciate everyone's help (not to mention the concern for my well-being
).
Take Care, and I'll See Ya'll Around,
Dave

Hi Dave!
Glad to hear that!
You could do me a favour:
Please have a look on System Monitor/ Resources, as I wrote on Jan 08, 3:36 pm.
In spite of
as it appears everything went well.
it could be that your swap partition is not recognized.
If you want a proof, you could compare the UUID of swap partition sda2 printed in
and
You see a difference? (Or
fstab shows a wrong partition?)
It could be useful for other users asking for help.

I'll take a look at this tonight, once I get back to the house. I'll post some outputs for your review.
Code: Select all
/dev/sda1: UUID="055a493a-02a2-4d5e-b433-4343e8b14436" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda2: UUID="1dea663f-aae3-40e6-ac88-d6311142d980" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda3: UUID="afb957f7-09e1-4c49-9498-5980547e6170" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda4: UUID="692df053-a143-4139-80d9-486c77e5eac9" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="data" UUID="5576326261BF62B0" TYPE="ntfs"
Code: Select all
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#

# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation

# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0

Edit 1/11/11-1917: Added outputs per request.
Thanks,

Hi Dave!
It seams to me that your swap partition is not recognized; you could proof it -> see my post Jan 08, 3:36 pm.
Your 2 last outputs do not match.
