comment How to browse the files on my Samsung Galaxy Discover?
If you look at this discussion: bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159184, installing kio-mtp should be enough. Don't have KDE installed at the moment (just plain Ubuntu 12.10 with Unity), and am still struggling with this, kio-mtp doesn't seem to be available in ubuntu 12.10...

comment Ubuntu 12.10 No Wifi after updates
what wifi card do you have? You can find out by typing the command lspci into the command line and then pressing enter. In the output, look for a line with "Network controller" and include that in your post. Had a very similar problem with my "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313" today...

comment sudo apt-get remove does not remove config files
I believe there is even some option of dpkg to list all the packages that were once installed but removed...? Ah yes, see here: ascending.wordpress.com/2007/04/10/…

comment Move ext4 partition
I have vaguely thought in the direction of LVM as well, but I know too little about it at the moment to make any use of it ;). But I guess sooner or later I'll look into it

comment Move ext4 partition
Although it actually sounds a bit paradoxical for linux - there is a graphical tool which does the job but none for the command line ;)

Sounds promising, I'll give it a try in the evening!

comment Move ext4 partition
Thanks! Any idea why gparted can do it but not the command-line based parted? They should be based on the same library (libparted) as far as I know, so why the different functionality?

comment Move ext4 partition
I have ssh access, but no X Server installed (and neither need nor wish to do so), but I guess I'd need one to be able to run ssh -X, right? I'll try to provide the exact commands & error messages, but it might take a while to recreate them, I didn't take notes since nothing really vital is on that disk at the moment (for the most part, "just" the backup of backups). Basically I'm doing this out of curiosity - it must be possible, right? But I'm feeling more and more confident that copying the contents, deleting, and recreating is the simplest solution...

comment How to resize / enlarge / grow a non-LVM ext4 partition
thought as much... so no luck at all if you don't have more free space than the partition's size? that seems awfully strange to me. didn't that work with ext2?

comment How to resize / enlarge / grow a non-LVM ext4 partition
is there any way to resize the ext4 partition in a way so that the start of the partition is moved? Because I have free space in front of the current ext4 partition, not at the back... fortunately I do have more space free than the partition is large, so I guess I could do the following: copy the whole partition to the front, remove the one at the back, and then resize the moved one to the whole size? but that seems like a terrible hack to me at the moment...
