Debian :: DVD Drive / Packet Writing / Squeeze
Jul 25, 2011
for the last three days, I have been trying to get my drive ( LiteOn iHas624 ) to work. Unfortunatly, it seems that I can only use the burner with Nero4Linux or Brasero, but not K3B.DVD-RAM/+RW packet writing seems neither to work out of the box, nor by the setup as suggested in /usr/share/doc/udftools/README.Debian or the media4linux howto(just to name the most promising, i definitly read more on the issue).
I tried to format the DVDs in various udf revisions, as well as ext2 just to check, but without success.As I am close to the point where I would rule out the possibility to obtain package writing capability, I dare to ask for help.I would be very grateful for any hint or reading recommendation on the issue.
Yours, Benjamin.

I've used packet writing on cd-rw discs for a few years now. It's always a bit of a pain to set up after each new install of Ubuntu but once working it works well. With the new install of 10.04 it continues to work well on previously formated discs already used for packet writing but I can't format a new blank disc. I'm getting "input/output error"I've exhausted all the hints and tips I've gather over the years and found nothing new searching the net.

I am running Debian squeeze on a Seagate Dockstar. It boots Debian from a USB flash drive, and has two 1 TB usb hard disks hooked to it. The machine is used for only rtorrent and nfs. The flash drive contains only the system software and rtorrent. All of the data that rtorrent moves around is on the usb hard disks, including downloaded data, watch folder, and session folder. About once a day I run rsync with the source being usb_1 and the target being usb_2: # time rsync --progress --stats -a --delete /media/usb_1/ /media/usb_2 Since this machine boots from a usb flash drive, I'm interested in keeping the number of writes to the flash drive to a minimum. The machine used to boot from an Adata flash drive, which has no LED. That drive wore out after about five months. Completely dead, as in gparted would fail with an I/O error on write when trying to write a new partition table to it. No big deal - I restored the software to a new flash drive using an image I had made in Clonezilla.
The new drive (a Sandisk Cruzer 4 GB) has an LED and I assume this is showing me when the drive is being accessed, read and write. When the system is at idle, the LED sort of "breathes" off and on slowly. When rtorrent is downloading or uploading, it flashes a few times and goes back to breathing.
I'm assuming that once everything has been loaded and the system has been running a while that when the LED flashes, that means that data is being written to the flash drive. (Is this a good assumption?) With just rtorrent running, there's not much flashing, maybe 10 - 20 times/minute. However when rsync is running, the LED just flashes on and off like crazy. The daily rsync run takes anywhere from three to 30 minutes, depending on how much new data was downloaded each day. But no matter how long it takes, the LED just flashes like crazy the whole time.
I'm assuming this means that all the new data from the source drive is being written temporarily to the flash drive or something like that, and this is wearing the flash drive out prematurely. Does this sound likely? If so, is there a way to get rsync not to do this and to do its thing in RAM only and not write to the boot flash drive?

Squeeze 6.0.2Kernel: 2.6.32-5-amd64While I was running Lenny, it worked. I don't see any device files for the DVD/CD-ROM. I used a usb stick for installation. I can see the usb stick listed in /etc/fstab file.I assumed DVD-ROM would work because the system is fresh installation. My laptop shows/dev/cdrom -> sr0/dev/cdrw -> sr0root cdrom 11, 0 Aug 8 19:22 /dev/sr0The desktop shows nothing. This machine has one SATA hard disk and DVD-ROM drive.
/dev/sda is the main hard disk.

Having recently bought a new box (HP Pavilion) I discovered that it is using sata HD and CD/DVD. As there are no specific switches to use when installing to sata drives, I assume that Debian Squeeze is configured to work with sata drives "out of the box", which, in my case, it is failing to do. For the sake of completeness, these are the issues I am encountering, in no order of priority:
* DVD/CD-RW can read data CDs
* Can write to DVD and CD using K3B
* Can play DVDs that I've burnt
* Typing "eject" (no quotes) on the command line will open the drive
But:
* Cannot play audio CDs - Rhythmbox is the only application that can. Amarok does, but then doesn't update track lists when a new CD is inserted and I must quit Amarok and restart it for it to pick up the new track lists. KsCD can identify the tracks but does not play an audio CD (even when the config file is changed to point to the drive). Goobox claims "invalid device" even though when using it on the command line I set the "--device==/dev/sr0" (no quotes) to point to the device. When I press the eject button, Goobox seg faults. I have tried a number of other applications, including cdplay, workman, cdcd, and a couple of others the names of which I now forget, some GUI and some command line. None of these have been able to play the audio CD, and many have claimed drive does not exist at all, again, even when manually pointed to it.
* Cannot play pre-recorded (i.e. commercial) DVDs, irrespective of the application used. To make DVDs work, I must go into the folder and double click the correct VIDEO-TS file (*.vob)
These are the specs, taken from dmesg:
ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[ 2.025513] ata2.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-H653Z, 4403, max UDMA/33

[ 5.279572] sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
[ 5.279572] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 5
This is confirmed by hardinfo and uses a scsi1 controller. The kernel I am using is kernel 2.6.26-2-686 on an AMD Sempron Dual Core 2300 and I am running Squeeze with no other OS. Is this an issue with GNU/Linux generally or with Debian specifically? Interesting, but one Google search showed that Fedora didn't have such a problem but when the user switched to Debian he found a similar issue. I don't think that the drive itself is broken and nor do I think that changing the drive for something else will work, because I'd still have to use the sata connections.

Just installed 64 bit Squeeze on a new build system Athlon quad core 3 GHz and 4 GB of ddr3 in a Gygabyte GA-870A-UD3 rev 2.1 mobo and I can't mount the floppy disk. The onboard controller is an ITE IT8720 chip. The floppy is a generic internal drive - Sony I think.I know the hardware is ok as various versions of Puppy linux mount and unmount it ok and.When I saved I got the message "Unable to mount floppy dev/fd0 is not a valid block device" editing back and saving got "Unable to mount floppy0 dev/fd0 is not a valid block device".Can anyone point me in the right direction?

just installed squeeze today, all went well but when I put a cdrom or dvd disc in it will not auto mount.. have to manually mount them from terminal. I've looked a /ect/fstab and do not see any problems there. Anyone else run into this problem on a squeeze install and fixed it?

I've run into a problem when I tried to connect a 1TB Iomega USB harddrive (with two approx. 500MB partitions on it) to my Buffalo Linkstation Pro. I am running debian squeeze with a minimal installation on the LS-Pro and everything else seems fine (i.e. ftp-server,streaming with squezeboxserver, firewall...). But when I connect the Iomega drive it tries to connect several times and then aborts. tail -f /var/log/messages gives:

This weekend, I installed Debian Squeeze on my server. I've formatted all the hard disks to EXT4, and I'm using kernel version 2.6.32-686-bigmem.When I tried to install the program saidar, it surprised me why it does not show my hard drives under 'mountpoint' [URL] <-- Saidar screenshot) as I could when I ran with Debian Lenny with the same kernel, but where the hard drives were formatted in EXT3. My laptop which has Ubuntu 10.04 as OS and the hard drive is formatted in EXT4 can easily show the hard drive in saidar.
I also tried to install PHP SysInfo on the Debian computer, but it does not bother to show anything on the hard disks
I tried to check fstab file and I can see that Debian uses UUID to identify the hard drives, but I've tried to change it to something with /dev/sdx, but it did not help either.[URL] (fstab file)
I know that Debian squeeze is very new, but it would be nice if someone could give me a hint what might be wrong, because I am a little tired of all time to use 'du-hs' command To find out how much space is spent on the various drives, since the command is a little slow, since hard disks are well filled.

I was just wondering is 2.5mb a second normal to write to a usb2 pendrive with the 'dd' command?
I know dd maybe having an influence on writing time, but it still seems really low for usb2 transfer?
Is there a command to measure the time a file takes to transfer from HD to usb pen? (not using dd).

I am using a new install of Kubuntu 10.04 LTS. My system is a 64-bit AMD desktop.
I use a small partition for my entire Kubuntu install, and use separate, larger partitions for my media and work files.
I opened up Dolphin (my KDE file manager) via GUI, navigated to my media partition, and attempted to create a new folder by
right-click->
Create New->
New Folder-> etc
The Create New in the menu is ghosted out, as if I have no permission to access it.
How can I write files to the drive?

restore a partition images on another machine to the unused space on my laptop. I'm using netcat and dd to restore the partition.
On laptop:
nc -l 192.168.192.254 9000 | dd bs=1024 conv=notrunc,noerror seek=<some block pos> of=/dev/sda
On W/S:
dd if=part.img bs=1024 | nc 192.168.192.254 9000
The problem is that fdisk -l displays start & end sectors of the partitions and I need to know blocks. How do I determine the block number after the last partition to start writing this image?
Quote:
cat /proc/partitions
Displays blocks per partition. I could add those numbers up but is sure would be nice to have a utility that just give you what you need.

I have a relatively common problem, but I don't seem to identify it's source. I have a SAMBA server on my LAN to which there are mapped a few shares as network drives in windows xp (as Y: ) and mounted as CIFS in linux [as /y]. The problem is that every time I save a file [either windows xp or linux] on the mapped drive / mounted folder, our IDEs alert us that the file changes right after the save. I am running SAMBA 3.3.2.

I have recently upgraded a computer from Wheezy to Jessie, and I'm having trouble getting an internet connection shared via Ethernet by another computer (the provider) to work on it.I have activated the interface of the Jessie computer and configured a static IP on it in the same subnetwork as the provider's ethernet interface with the following commands:
Code: Select all# ip addr add 192.168.123.201/24 dev eth0
# ip link set up dev eth0
I now would like to set the address of the provider as the default route with Code: Select all# ip route add default via 192.168.123.100 dev eth0, but I get the following error message: Code: Select allRTNETLINK answers: File exists.
Indeed, when I run Code: Select all# ip route, the following comes up:
Code: Select alldefault dev eth0Â scope link
I've tried to remove this default route to replace it with mine with Code: Select all# ip route flush table main and Code: Select all# ip route del default but these commands don't seem to work.

I have to do a .deb packet which will be placed in the repositories of the company.When this packet is installed, it only have to copy a plain text archive i've wrote before, to a path where it's being installed.The other requisite is that it have to watch if there's a program (vim) installed, if it's not installed, then the packet i have created shouldn't install.example:
# ls /home/loopin (as we see, this directory is empty)
# apt-get install mypacket

I always wanted to get into writing open source applications for debian. The only problem I ever saw was that I do not know C++ which seems to be the popular language to build applications. My expertise is Java and I think that java applications could run on debian just as good as C++ applications. What I do at work is write applications in java for unix systems so I think I porting my skills over to debian would not be a problem. I have not seen any applications in java on debian yet and thought people might have a problem with them. Is there any reason more java applications are not being written on debian? Also does anyone know of hand if there is any orphaned java application for debian. I had a look on this page but it is hard to know what language the application is written in. [URL]

I have tried to configure an Enemy Territory Server in an way that a common user could run it just executing a command line. The first thing I did was writing a script like that
/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/etded +set dedicated 1 +set net_port 27960 +set fs_game etpub +set fs_homepath /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/27960 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +set +exec server.cfg +set +exec punkbuster.cfg +set +exec bots.cfg
and then putting it in the /usr/local/bin directory. Ok, the things seem to be fine, but then I realized that the program tries to write some config and log files. I noticed that because some warnings appear in the command line, like that Couldn't write etconfig.cfg always that I run the command as a normal user. On the other hand, if I give writing permission to these files, all the warnings disapear.
But I don't think it is a good way, because someone could change these files by hand, what would not be good.
My last try was to set the suid of the script up, with the command chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/etded-server
But as I already knew that suid does not work well with shell script I wrote a C source like that:

I've been running Lenny for quite a while and have always been plagued by strange CD writing/erasing errors in K3B. I also tried erasing my CDRWs using wodim from the command prompt but had erratic results there also. I was researching these problems on Google recently and finally found a solution as well as an explanation of the cause of all the difficulties. Go here [URL], do some reading and then download/install cdrtools-3.00 from the link on the main page. The package did all the work for me including updating the default programs in K3B - now everything works as it should. I sincerely hope Debian will reconsider the trouble-prone fork of the original cdrecord (wodim) and make Jorg Schilling's excellent cdrecord the package of choice for future releases of Debian.

I am trying to get Debian 7.4 to burn 50Gb Blueray disks for backups using K3b. The GUI based program is important.
The reason I am using Linux Kernel 3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64 is that I am running an i7-4770K CPU and the motherboard a Supermicro c7-z87-oce (NO overclocking) and 32G RAM. I have had no other problems since using the backported kernel and turning off the onboard graphics and using an nvidia G210 graphics card.
The Pioneer BDR-209M CD/DVD/Blueray burner reads CDs and DVDs to the extent I am able to install Wheezy, and then use a backported kernel. However, it will not write CD's, DVD's and it won't recognize Blueray disks.
I have spent some time weeding through conflicting information and I wanted to verify there is not a work around. I have downloaded and installed the current version of cdrecord to no avail. I have completely removed everything CD/DVD/Blueray related and reinstalled, also to no avail.
Then I came across this statement from: [URL] ....
In all programs of the fork that send SCSI commands, you may be unable to access any of the CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drives at all if you are on Linux-2.6.8.1 or later. This is due to a missing workaround for the Linux kernel interface change that happened with Linux-2.6.8.1.

I mount a BD-RE in Debian Jessie to write about 20GB of data. But the writing speed is terrible slow. I get a Speed of 250kb/sec.
Are there any options to increase the speed of writing? I don't use packet writing and no wodim, no growisofs, nothing. I just mounted the disk and I use mc (Midnight commander) to copy the data.

I have inherited ownership of a Debian server process that logs its error message to stdout/stderr. Currently its initscript has lines like:
start-stop-daemon [options] --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_ARGS < /dev/null 2>&1 | logger $LOG_OPTIONS 2> /dev/null &
I have tried to abstract as much of that away as possible. The options specify a pid file, to make a pid file. A subsequent line tries to establish whether the process is up, though I think several conditions are not checked for. This script seems pretty ropey to me. I am trying to start again with the lsb-base one in /etc/init.d/skeleton though that is going to require a lot of modification. get the code change to use the syslog API however that is out of the question at least for now.
1.) Create a named pipe
2.) Start up a logger daemon that reads from the named pipe
3.) start up the server process that writes to the named pipe
It would be ideal for this if start-stop-daemon offered options to specify where the IO of the daemon process should be redirected to. However I am not about to offer to adopt that package (with ~400 bugs) so I doubt that will happen. Trying to specify the redirection on the command line does not work. In the case of the logger daemon start-stop-daemon seems to hang on the system call. In the case of the server process the pipe gets closed when start-stop-daemon exits, so the logger daemon exits. None of that seems surprising.So what I am doing now is to write simple wrapper scripts for the server and logger processes. Both wrapper scripts have this structure:
1.) sanity check the arguments
2.) exec program [suitable redirection of IO]
Then the start-stop-daemon can call the wrapper scripts as daemons. From my experiments so far this seems to work. However I feel a bit uncomfortable with this. It introduces several new wrapper scripts.I cannot think of any obvious security holes but I suppose race conditions are inevitable.

how to install Dropbox for Debian Squeeze from source.Please read everything before you begin. I prepared it as I installed Dropbox for my own system. Please Note: I use sudo, you may have to use root or 'su' from the command line. If you don't know the difference between sudo and su, then you shouldn't try this until you know. At the time I did this, the lastest dropbox version was 0.6.7.
