Split LVM volume into two, Ubuntu Ibex 8.10

This worked for me, but use the "how to-guide" at your own risk!!!! I can not be held responsible for any data loss - take backup!!!

A standard Ubuntu installation with encrypted hard drive will give you a boot partition and a LVM partition with two logical volumes. If your computer name is “Ubuntu”, the volume group will typically be called Ubuntu, with two volumes: root and swap.

In order to make a logical volume for /home and for /, do the following:

Pytrainer in Ubuntu 8.10, Ibex Intrepid

I just use the Gutsy binary, which works fine in Ibex.

echo "deb http://www.e-oss.net/ubuntu/gutsy/ ./" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pytrainer
sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-extras

To get the Garmin kernel driver working in user space, make an udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules with this content

SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="666"

Pytrainer is made to use path like /dev/ttyUSBX to connect to the Garmin watch. I believe the right way is to use Garmin usb driver directly, hence usb: in the config. Therefore you have to open /usr/share/pytrainer/plugins/garmin-hr/main.py and change

if not os.path.exists(options.device):

to

if (not os.path.exists(options.device) and not options.device == "usb:"):

In Tools -> GPS Device Plugins -> Garmin* ->Preferences change device to [usb:] and status to [Enable].

Thats it, have fun :)
