Cron error mail not giving line number

yggen — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:47:38 -0500

After each run of cron'ed script i get:

cp: cannot stat <file>': No such file or directory cp: cannot statbackup.zip': No such file or directory

But it does not state what line the cp is issued from. This is not clear as there is allot of variables that is created to determine the files.....

Adobe Reader error in FF3.6.7 browser

ptrcao — Tue, 24 May 2011 09:02:03 -0400

Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.4.2. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application.

How to fix?

@who_knows:

peter@Peter-OldPC:~$ PATH=$PATH:/~/Adobe/Reader9/bin
peter@Peter-OldPC:~$ firefox
peter@Peter-OldPC:~$

Is the terminal code directly above what you meant for me to do?

Partitioning Troubles - Resize Operation Has Been Aborted

resuni — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 22:44:36 -0400

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and hate it. I'm having many problems with networking and a few other things. Instead of figuring out all the problems I'm having with Karmic, I decided to go back to Jaunty which actually worked for me. But I have no way of backing up all my data before reinstall. I realised I was only using ~30% of my hard drive so I decided to partition my hard drive in half and install Jaunty on the second partition. Then I could transfer all my data from the first partition to the second then erase the first and repartition again to get the Jaunty installation to fill up the entire drive. Here's where I'm having the problems:

I wrote an Ubuntu Jaunty image file to my flash drive and booted from it. So far so good. I select Install Ubuntu from that first menu that comes up. I go through the time zone and keyboard layout settings. All that works. Then I get to the screen entitled Prepare Disk Space. It tells me I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed and it asks me where I want to put Ubuntu 9.04. I select Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup and click Forward. I then get an error:

Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.

I click Ignore and a window comes up entitled Please wait... and it stays there for a while. Then I get another error that says:

An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices.

The resize operation has been aborted.

I click OK and it brings me to a screen where I can edit partition tables. I select the /dev/sda1 partition and click the Edit Partition button. A window comes up. When I change the New partition size field, will it keep the old Ubuntu 10.04 data in that partition and only resize it or will it format the partition as well? Also - why isn't the easier side-by-side technique working? Any help as to how I can do this is greatly appreciated.
