So my question is: can I safely shrink my windows partition, then expand my Ubuntu partition, copy over files and repeat until I'm satisfied? (probably until I use Windows only for games that don't work on Ubuntu) Also, if I finally decide to get rid of Windows, can I just remove it and expand the Ubuntu partition so it takes up the whole hard drive? If so, what do I need to worry about?
You might even consider using a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) setup, at least for new space like your /home partition. The immediate advantage of LVM for you is that you can expand it without moving anything. For instance, suppose you end up doing three rounds of shrinking the Windows partition and moving the space to Ubuntu. With LVM, in each of these steps, you would:

My keybindings for resizing windows do not need to enter in a resizing mode. There are two pairs of keybindings: one for shrink/expand a window vertically and another for shrink/expand a window horizontally
Neat little review Lance. My triple pane windows in the master bedroom are dripping (interior RH 38% in family room). They are european tilt and turns. The worst part is actually the inside metal hinge that has a shit load of condensation dripping. The master is the only location, on the north east corner of the house, in full wind exposure, connected to an ensuite bath with "only" ERV exhaust, and 2 adults sleeping. Humidity might be higher in the master than elsewhere.
I have -20C the last few days and 30% humidity and also builder grade windows, and lots of shocks and dry skin.
No condensation so far but i would like to get some extra humidity and have thought about window film just to see what would happen for the future
Also i have had image posting troubles in my question as well, seems to a bug somewhere.
When I want to resize an individual note (which I double clicked in the app to open) to a small size, I find that there seems to be a limit to how small I can resize it. Is this a purposeful limit or is there a bug, known or unknown? I find this very frustrating when I want to tile windows so, for example, a Zoom window is taking up 4/5 of the screen and my note the other 1/5.
Yes, I could switch windows using a keyboard shortcut. However, the smallest width I can get on a 27" monitor is 530 px or approx. 5 3/8 ". I should be able to resize the width as small as I'd like and have the text wrap. That was the behavior prior to the 10.x versions.
I used to be able to size the Evernote note's window smaller than it allows now (on the same system) then some update several months back changed that... and I don't like that. I used to be able to fit it all on my screen, but the minimum width is too large to be able to see the Zoom window well enough. I like to take clips from Zoom and paste them into the Evernote note and/or type quick notes, so only need enough room in the note to do that and navigate to the next line, etc. It used to be perfect, now it sucks to have to overlap the windows or move the Evernote note offscreen so that I can just have part showing...
Printing a 297x172 mm document scaling with fit or shrink to an A4 paper on a HP Color Laserjet Enterprise M751 does nothing. Yes, it prints, but it does not scale. Latest firmware and driver for the printer is installed.
I just noticed from a recent post that most people dry shrink on all vehicles. I have tried it, and can do it but prefer the wet shrink method. I was just wondering if there is a benefit to dry shrinking on some cars? I was taught how to wet shrink everything and I haven't ran across a car that I can't get done by wet shrinking. I am wondering if I am making it harder on myself by wet shrinking instead of dry shrinking on some backglasses?
I find that some cars that have more of a curved glass, its faster to dry shrink it bc u can shrink bigger areas at a time. when I dry shrink, I basically divide the glass into 4 pieces like a cross. then heat each 1/4 at a time. some small glasses ex...malibu, ion, ect...are done quick as wet. I wouldnt say that you are making it harder on yourself doin it wet. up till a year ago when I started using global, I wet shrank 100% all back glass's. but thats not so easy with global. I can deff dry shrink any back glass with global than wet shrink the same back glass with any other film.
dude once you learn dry shrink you'll never turn back. I don't wet shrink anything except maybe some flat suv back glass that only pops a few fingers. I wet shrunk everything for the first year or so of learning the trade, after talking with danny desanto (FTI) about shrinking methods I began to dry shrink & never looked back. How do you wet shrink a 04 stratus 2dr I think I'd be there for atleast 30 minutes as opposed to 5 minutes.
04 stratus and all the other bitch back windows. including the intrepids, vettes, bugs,ect...... ..all were dont wet. yea I took a lil longer, but it got done. thats all I knew back then. now that I do dry, I dont know if I could wet shrink a back glass anymore. its so damn easy and requires so less concentration and time. its just the smarter thing to do.
wet shrinking puts more stress on smaller areas. Dry shrinking lets you shrink more area and puts less stress. Less puckers and places popping back up when dry. I also have found that the bit of water that is on the film will pull heat away from wherever there are drops.....makes the film get heated up uneven.....
dryshrink method allows for great time savings it just shrinks so darn quick and flawlessly. Its really hard to screw things up with a good dryshrink on most normal flat back glass's.. they just shrink so smooth and quickly.
are you smoothing the film as you shrink it dry? You should be able to shrink it down with a dry shrink and not have to touch the film. You just have to see the film moving to know when it is laying down and move on.
I would double check your page file settings...did you set to Windows managed or force to c:\ only ? All it tales is 1kb of page file in the end sector and it creates the limit to shrinking....page files does not need to be in system disk (by default is is all over the partitions, usually at the ends).
From VMWare tools, I tried to "shrink disk". When I click on " Prepare to Shrink", it beavers away for several minutes and the progress bar indicates progress. Prior to completion, however, I get a couple of low disk space warnings (ridiculous as I have 45GB of physical disk space and 10 or 90GB of VM disk space. Eventually I get a windows error popup with the following text:
Are your virtual disk files monolithic or 2GB-split ones? If monolithic, then to perform a shrink or defrag operation, you must have at least as much free disk space on your host as the maximum defined size of the virtual disk drive (100 GB for your 2nd drive, specifically in your case). As you say you have only 45 GB of physical space free, then this operation WILL fail due to lack of disk space. If, on the other hand, you have your virtual disk files as 2GB-Split format, then you only need a bit more than 2 GB of free space, as each split file gets created one at a time during the shrink or defrag process.
Have you a reference for the "must have available physical drive space at least as large as the virtual drive that you are trying to shrink" statement? As I mentioned, no options were selected for the virtual drives so... they are not configured to be allocated in 2GB chunks. Also the failure occurred when I was trying to shrink the C drive which is a 15GB virtual drive of which about 7GB is actually used. So, if what you state is actually true, it doesn't appear to apply in this case.
Nonetheless, I am have run once more the "shrink" from vmware tools with only the C drive selected this time and we'll see what happens. (previously I had both C and D selected though the failure occurred while preparing the C drive (never got to the D drive).
Reading these forums, talking with product managers, etc. Also empirical evidence. When you shrink or defrag a virtual disk, the process makes a COPY of the vmdk file being worked on. So, if you have a single disk defined with a max. size of 15 GB, you can watch yourself and see a temp vmdk file created in the VM's folder while the action is being performed!
Again, it made it through the preparation seemingly OK, but when I clicked on "yes" to the "go ahead and shrink" popup, I get the error pop-up (this time a MAC OS popup which sits atop the Fusion VM window that had automatically exited full screen when the error occurred) "Failed to shrink "/Virtual Machins.localized/Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm/Data.vmdk"; There is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation."
Now, I had deselected the D (Data) drive and only the C drive was selected when I "prepared to shrink". So, why is Fusion complaining about a drive that was not even selected for shrinking? Data.vmdk is indeed about 60GB in size. "Windows XP Professional.vmdk" (the C drive?) is about 15GB is size.
Unfortunately, I believe you are seeing an issue which many of us Workstation users have seen before. It does not appear to matter that you only selected one drive via the Windows' VMware Tools Control Panel applet... the VMware Tools still tries to shrink ALL of the virtual disks.
You can try to get around this by first shutting your guest VM down, then using the vmware-vdiskmanger command-line utility to shrink only the first virtual disk file. I do not know if that function has been implemented in the Mac version of the diskmanager utility, though.
I found the command where you said it would be. Now I am trying to determine how to use it. Apparently I need to mount the disk first prior to preparing for shrink. I cannot find a disk mount utility for MAc (found the one for windows and the user guide). I found a VMDKmounter app in the same dir as the vmdiskmanager but can't seem to make it do anything (assuming that it is even the right app to use).
