General :: Checking ISO For Errors

Feb 26, 2010

I chose Mint 8 Fluxbox and have the iso. I cannot figure out how to check the iso for errors and the MD5 signature.I'm using Windohs XP so I tried to install MD5sum.exe. When I double click on it to run it all it does is flash and then nothing.When I type in the commands it says it can't find it or it can't read it or something.I may be typing the commands incorrectly. I'm just not understanding.I need to check the iso for errors but can't understand how to check it.

Fedora :: Checking Hard Disk For Errors

Aug 2, 2009

On my FC11 installation Palimpset Disk Utility icon in the top menu bar is reporting that I have a disk failure with the caption "one or more disks is failing".When I open up the details section in Pilimpset I can see that "2 sectors are failing",I have checked this with gparted checking facility and it reports that the disk is OK.What I would like to do is to check the disk using a command like tool or ofline tool, which would then tell me where those bad sectors are on that partition so that I can resize it (using gparted) and have the bad sectors in NON ALLOCATED DISK SPACE.

Programming :: Checking Amount Of System Memory?

Nov 8, 2010

I need to allocate a % of the total system memory for a buffer but what is the best method to determine how much memory is in the system? So far the only way I have found is to get the pages of memory:

Code:
long sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES)
Is that the only option?

Ubuntu :: Checking An External Hard Drive For Errors?

Nov 8, 2010

i am currently running palimpsest (system -> administration -> disk utility) and letting it "check" an unmounted filesystem.

i know its just running fsck.ext3 on this drive... the drive is formatted ext3, and is used on a hardware media player (WDTV Live Plus) in another room... i just moved it in here to avoid copying recorded HD shows over the LAN.

anyway, i was informed at boot with this drive connected that it needed to be checked, after booting it is mounted, but says it has errors and needs to be checked. it is checking, i would assume messages from fsck.ext3 would be logged to /var/log/fsck/checkfs, but i have never been interested in this type of thing before... usually when my drives start to get errors, its time to replace them... this one im sure is caused by being unmounted incorrectly by the stupid WDTV Live Plus...it locks up sometimes, lol...

i dunno, this is a big drive. just wish there was some "status update" other than a whirling indicator... im tailing the log file i mentioned above, but so far it just has "Nothing has been logged yet." (which i take as a really good thing at this point.

EDIT: at the very end of the filesystem check, i got a message about the filesystem being clean with no errors. id still like more of an indication than "whirling indicator thingy"...guess ill go back to CLI for checking filesystems. lol

Ubuntu :: Running In Low-graphics Mode After Checking Drive For Errors

Oct 12, 2010

I have been running 10.4 with no problems for some time now. Today when I booted up it started checking the drive for errors, and I just left it to do its thing. I came back to this warning screen: Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode.Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly.
I've tried all of these with no luck. When I select to run to low graphics mode, it says "Stand by one minute while the display restarts...OK".I select OK and then it gets stuck checking for battery state.I try to reconfigure the graphics, and nothing happens when I select any of the options on the next screen.

Programming :: Regarding Memory Errors In G++?

Jul 22, 2011

I have a general question regarding memory errors. I frequently ran into memory errors such as seg fault, double free, etc. Sometimes I got the following traces for example.

*** glibc detected *** /mnt/click: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7ed8450 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib/libc.so.6[0xb7dff905]
/lib/libc.so.6[0xb7e011a3]

[code]....

Then, I just run gdb, valgrind things and suddenly I started ask questions myself that what are those traces and how can I analyze?

Ubuntu :: USB Flash Memory Not Detected

Oct 3, 2010

I've just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge. Problem is that it generally doesn't detect the USB memories that I've been trying to use. On two occasions it did in fact detect the flash memory, but it couldn't open/read it for some reason (USB memories works on other computers), but all the other times the USB flash memory didn't even show up in Nautilus.

I am no techie so I'm not sure how to check what the problem is here. I've been googling it but either it refers to some specific stuff that doesn't cover my case or it simply is too technical for average users like me to understand.

Ubuntu :: Hulu Desktop / Flash - Get Errors About How Video Not Available

Sep 26, 2010

I'm getting a strange error when I try to use Hulu desktop. When I start it, the following error pops up:

Quote:
Hulu Desktop requires Flash Player 10.0.22 or higher, but this version of Flash is 10.0.22.87. Please download and install the latest version, then restart Hulu Desktop I'm on a 64 bit machine, and have tried both the most up-to-date 64 bit version of flash, and the version installed using flashplugin-installer (which I understand is a wrapper around the 32 bit version). I've also tried using Hulu through my browser, but get errors about how the video is not available, regardless of the video.

Fedora Hardware :: Can't Write To Flash Memory. Automatically Set As Read-only

Jan 21, 2010

I used to be able to write to my SD memory card but just recently it is being automatically mounted as read-only. I checked the read-only tab and tried to set it to the lock position, and to the unlock position. Neither position makes a difference. It was working normally a few days ago. I also tried changing the permission using su

ls -lt gives the following result
drwxr-xr-x 4 col root 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 CANON_DC
chmod chgrp and chown in su mode don't change anything either.

I tried mounting a different 1GB SD card and it works perfectly. I noticed that when I mount this card I get a window asking me what I want to do, but I don't get this on the other card. It must some kind of setting related to the unwriteable card.

I am using F10 2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686

Ubuntu :: Unmounting USB-drive (flash Memory) - Get Data Back?

Jan 6, 2010

I stupidly unplugget my USB-cable, which was connected to my Nokia music phone, just as if I were in Windows. What do I do? I've lost my music on the phone, or, it seems it may be there (the correct mass of data), but my phone now tells me there is no music... Can I recover this? And - what is the correct way to unplug a USB unit in Ubuntu? To make it work, and find the phone/drive - I just typed "sudo lsusb" in the terminal, and it found and opened the memory automatically... How should you unmount the USB, and maybe even how do I get my data back?

Ubuntu :: File Copying Freezes - Flash Memory Card

Jul 3, 2010

Using 10.04 Netbook version. I am finding on my Asus EEE 901 that sometimes file copy just seems to freeze - seems to happen usually when copying from the built-in SSD memory to the plug-in SDHC memory card. I have tried reformatting the card and using a different card. It is not just this computer since I found the same thing on my last Asus which was the 900 model.

I am told that there are issues with Nautilus. Is there anything which can be done to improve this or is there anything else which I can install besides Nautilus? I am assuming that there is some issue related to Ubuntu's handling of SDHC memory cards.

It is becoming annoying because it seems to work sometimes and then not. When it happens only option seems to be to turn the netbook off and on again. Even if the file copy is cancelled the card seems to be unaccesible until rebooted.

Also after a certain point it seems that when I try and copy new files to the card, they appear to copy ok but obviously are corrupt in some way - when you try to play videos for instance they are faulty.

Ubuntu :: Checking Disk Mean Checking All Partitions On Hd?

Sometimes at startup I get this message "Checking disk 1 of 1". Does that mean it's checking all partitions on the hd? After a bad shutdown there is no prompt for fsck to run and the system just boots up. In fstab I have both options set to "1" for the partition Ubuntu is on, all others set to "0". Any ideas on both?

General :: Any Real Alternative To CPRM-protected SD Memory Cards Beside USB Flash Drives?

Apr 19, 2010

Before buying an SD memory card, I'd like to know something more about the CPRM protection, in particular:Does CPRM influence the way I am supposed to access my own data? That is, does CPRM encrypt it? Could CPRM prevent me from accessing my own data?Is it possible to disable or eliminate CPRM from either the memory card or the card reader?Are there manufacturers selling CPRM-free SD memory cards?Is there any real alternative to CPRM-protected SD memory cards beside USB flash drives?Is Linux support for SD cards good?

Debian Multimedia :: Spell Checking With Vim?

I can use spell check for English with vim, it works quite fine. But I don't succeed in doing it in another language. For example German spell checking: The command :mkspell ~/.vim/spell/de /usr/share/hunspell/de_DE.aff generates a de.utf-8.spl in the right folder, but vim marks every word as wrong when I activate it with

:setlocal spell spelllang=de
