If I use the 8.4 installation cd will it make it be upgraded to 8.6 after apt-get upgrade?
jelly 2017-02-01 04:52:33
Pr0metheus: apt-get dist-upgrade may be needed to patch up everything
jelly 2017-02-01 04:52:39
but in general yes
Pr0metheus 2017-02-01 04:52:53
ok i'll try it thanks jelly:)
jelly 2017-02-01 04:52:59
Pr0metheus: and it will be 8.7 actually

what about TLS 1.3 support in Debian Stretch? full freeze is near and openssl 1.1.1 is not released yet :/
Christoph_vW 2017-02-01 05:13:14
but having to wait for Debian 10 to get TLS 1.3 is a no go

My root partition is too small, I'd like to shrink my home partition and extend the space on /sda1. I'm getting a warning message in gparted when I try to make this operation telling me this may cause my system to fail booting
Ooze 2017-02-01 05:33:19
What's the correct way to go about this w/o causing system damage?

Hello - I'm trying to examine a piece of software that requires /proc/scsi/scsi. I'm running Jessie.
greycat 2017-02-01 05:33:32
Depends on where the partitions *are*
Circuitsoft 2017-02-01 05:33:42
Is there a way to fake the existence of that file for this software?
rafalcpp 2017-02-01 05:34:25
Circuitsoft: well you can even make such a file, but it will of course fail as soon as the program tries to actually use that
greycat 2017-02-01 05:34:28
See, generally you don't shrink the *beginning* of a partition/file system. You shrink the *end* of it. So if your home is right after your root, then shrinking the end of home doesn't give you any space that you can attach to root.
Ooze 2017-02-01 05:34:58
Yeah, the unallocated space is now between swap and the /home partition
Ooze 2017-02-01 05:35:04
can't I then move the swap?
rafalcpp 2017-02-01 05:35:17
Circuitsoft: no wait, you can't create in /proc. Ok mabye some overlay / unionfs. or maybe ld preload some stuff to fake files
rafalcpp 2017-02-01 05:35:38
Ooze: btw for future do use LVM, this resolves such things much easier
greycat 2017-02-01 05:35:42
We'd have to know how your partitions are arranged. If you have root, swap, home and you remove that swap partition entirely, then you can expand root into that space. And then maybe shrink home and put a new swap at the end of home.

Ooze 2017-02-01 05:36:26
That's what I'd like to do
Circuitsoft 2017-02-01 05:36:46
rafalcpp: I've found that this program is calling execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "cat /proc/scsi/scsi | awk ....something..."])
Ooze 2017-02-01 05:36:53
It will allow me, I just want to be sure my system will still boot
Circuitsoft 2017-02-01 05:36:57
Maybe there's a way to capture that?
Ooze 2017-02-01 05:37:06
I'm performing this from a Live disk instance
greycat 2017-02-01 05:37:37
I'm very confused. In that image, root is *already* your biggest partition, bigger than all the others added together.
greycat 2017-02-01 05:37:47
Where are you thinking you can steal space from? There isn't any.

sry
Circuitsoft 2017-02-01 05:40:04
Ooze: First thing I'd do is, using fdisk, delete your extended partition, then add an "sda2" with the exact same start and length of your current sda6. Then, open gparted again, and adjust things a little from there.
Circuitsoft 2017-02-01 05:40:13
However, there's also the question as to why you have so much stuff on your rootfs.
Circuitsoft 2017-02-01 05:40:39
Well, I guess 20GB isn't /that/ big, but it's still pretty big.
Ooze 2017-02-01 05:41:01
yeah I'm not so sure since I just moved my www contents to a new drive
Ooze 2017-02-01 05:41:05
I have some stuff in /var still and /opt
