Fedora :: DVD Burnt Fine But Never Showed Up On Desktop
Oct 4, 2009
Before creating a DVD of an old movie, I tried to free up some hard disk space by burning a batch of old cartoons (Betty Boop, from the '30s.) to a data DVD, and deleting the directory after making sure the burn was good. The burn went fine, and the disc ejected correctly. (This is an important point!) I immediately re-inserted it so that I could check the contents, as I've done many times before, but it never showed up on my desktop.
(F10 with Gnome) I opened Nautilus and found two copies of the DVD listed, and both context menus listed both Mount and Eject, as though Gnome wasn't sure if it was or wasn't mounted. Checking, neither shows up in /media, /mnt or /etc/mtab. At this point, I can no longer mount it or any other disc. I've tried logging out and logging in, with no change. I'd consider a reboot, but my uptime has quite literally reached Biblical proportions and I hate to waste it if I don't have to. How to tell Fedora to let go of a DVD that isn't in the drive any longer?

How to speed up the menu "fade" (or get rid of it all together) in desktop effects? I need a composite manager for docky but the slower response on menus annoys me as they have to fade in and out. Anyone know which key in apps -> compiz I should change? Is it one of the plugins or one of the general keys?

I really need to burn my 64 kbps uncompressed A-Law PCM file to Audio CD uncompressed as is and make this 8 hour file appear on CD Players. What app does it for me? It must fit on CD! Goldwave makes a-law / u-law wav files BTW. I can do this with linux or windows with any application. tell me how or where to download. I have the wav files already.

I followed the guideline 'How to use PreUpgrade' to upgrade F14 -> F15. What happened was that after reboot: 1. The screen was a mess ... no readable information 2. No reaction on pressing 'return' 3. The disk led showed no activity, so I reseted the computer after 5 minutes inactivity. The system came up but with F14. I repeated the 'preupgrade' and all messages are in [URL]... but still F14 comes up after reboot. Where have I missed ... eager to get F15

I downloaded the 10.10 desktop version. Everything seems to work fine except Firefox. Sure, I can get on, but getting out is something of a chore. Half the time the page freezes and won't allow me to try anything else.
I tried: Clicking on the red "X" = nothing
Right-clicking on the page and selecting "Back" = nothing
Right-clicking on the task bar and selecting "Close" = nothing
Restarting the computer = nothing
The only way to get out when that happens, is to hold down the "Power" button. I know it's not good for the computer, but being held hostage in Firefox is not good for my patience. Even that is a crap-shoot. Sometimes it boots back up fine, only to resume what happened before the power went out when I log back into Firefox. Sometimes it won't let me out until I scan back to the main page by using the arrows one page at a time. This kind of thing never happened when I had the 9.04.

I would like to know if there is a solution to this problem. The multimedia hotkeys (play/pause, stop, volume up/down, volume mute, ecc) stop working when i open any menu (for example mintmenu, that i use, or any menu of firefox like bookmarks) or if i start an application, such as openarena. The major problem is for volumes keys, that stop working in these cases.
Any ideas? I tried to change keyboard model, disable hotkeys mapped in prefereces->keyboard shortcut (with this they just stop working), but nothing changed.

I have a home server running Ubuntu Server 10.10, it is running Samba for file sharing with a mix of Windows and Linux boxes in my house. My main problem is that the server is only accessible by IP or by using hostname.local, but it is not possible to connect to it by just typing the hostname. Further more, it is not being automatically discovered and listed by Windows or Linux clients.
What's really odd is that I also have an Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 install on a separate computer, and that computer is accessible using just the hostname and is automatically being discovered and listed by other computers.
What is missing on the server? What is responsible for resolving just hostname, avahi seems to only deal with hostname.local and that is working fine. I also compared the samba config of the desktop and server Ubuntu installs but wasn't able to find any setting that would be influencing this. Is there some package I'm missing on the server?

I recently downloaded and installed Fedora 11 Alpha. I then installed the Nvidia drivers for my Graphics card (GeForce 7800 GTX). I discovered that Fedora 11 is using a Beta version of Xorg and an incompatible ABI. So, my drivers would not work with Fedora 11 without me dowgrading the Xorg server. I decided to reinstall Fedora 10 instead.
I started the install, and when the installation loaded the generic video drivers, my screen showed only a bunch of colored vertical lines. Fedora 10 doesn't allow me to install in text mode.

i installed the new beta 10.04 and it seemed right after the install and update that both nvidia hardware drivers were automatically install together. i deactivated both drivers. one driver showed the nvidia 173 driver and the other one showed "current" nvidia driver.
after a restart i then tried to activate the 173 driver. system required a restart. so i did. system booted to a black screen. i believe its at the desktop but i am unable to see it. i tried to hit esc at the boot screen to enter the grub menu but that didnt work.

I am having a problem checking the MD5SUM of some CDs burnt from ISOs, and I'm not sure whether the problem is the burning or the checking. I get the same problems on several PCs, and it seems to be dependent on the ISO. I have for a couple of years used a script someone gave me to verify CDs against ISOs when I want to check the disc and it has always worked in the past. The core line in the script is:
Code:
devmd5=`readom dev=$cddev sectors=0-$count f=- | md5sum | awk '{print $1}'
count is the size of the ORIGINAL ISO as calculated by isosize
[code]....

I have burnt a data DVD (containing mp3 files) from k3b with the default settings (filesystem: Linux/Unix+Windows). No Windows machine, and no DVD players recognize it. My linux machine can read it back, and a Mac notebook could also read it. What can be the problem? Does anybody have an idea? I tried disabling the RockRidge extension - the same result. CDs (burnt with the same settings) work fine.

I decided to install Fedora today ( from Debian ) so I downloaded the 64 bit variation and then burnt it and booted from it. My partition table before looked like this ( the XXXs of values I do not know ) :
Code:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 10.5GB 10.5GB primary fat32 diag
2 10.5GB 110GB 100GB primary ntfs
3 110GB 111GB 98.7MB primary ext2 boot
4 111GB 320GB 209GB extended
5 111GB 315GB XXXXXX logical ext3 XXXX
6 315GB 320GB 5124MB logical linux-swap(v1)
I wanted to seperate my /home and / (root) partitions in my new system so that in the future, distro-hopping would be easier. I deleted everything in my fifth partition except for my home folder, from which I moved my home folder ( /home/whales ) to the top layer of the partition ( now /whales ).
I then did a yum install gparted so I could shrink partition 5 (now going to be /home) and add another 20gb one for / (root). Unfortunately Gparted spat out an error about the kernel not reading the partition table until reboot ( but first it succeeded in shrinking the FS to 286GB ). I panicked and tried to format p5 to ext3 ( it was ext3 ) but then realised this was dumb before it could 'create the ext3 filesystem' and I cancelled the operation.
I then rebooted, realising I should have done what the error said to in the first place.Nope. The partition was 'empty' apart from lost+found ( which is empty ). Nuts I thought to myself. The filesystem must have been overwritten . I tried a 'rescue' on parted on the command line, but that did not work. So I then removed the parition reference and then tried a rescue, but nothing happened. No output other than progress, and now I am stuck with this layout:

I have downloaded the opensuse 11.4 64 bit iso both as a direct download and as a torrent, and the md5sums for both iso images are fine.
I tried burning both, and for both of them they fail the checksum installation media test for the actual dvd.
(dvd title openSUSE-DVD-x86_640024)
I burnt them on a 32 bit Pentium 4 machine running suse 11.3, and am trying to install on an Athlon 64 3000+.
This may well be a stupid question, but do you have to burn a 64 bit iso image on a 64 bit machine, or should I be able to burn it on a P4 ok?
I should add that I had tried installing one the dvd's first, and got a lot of failed packages and ended up aborting the install.

So, I've been using Brasero to burn cds with no problems, but when I try to burn a DVD video, it starts converting the file mpeg-2 then just hangs about half way through. I tried it like 5 times and then moved on to Bombona, which I heard was great. When I start the burn process for a DVD video with Bombono, it just says "DVD-video building broken ffmpeg failure." its driving me nuts, this shouldnt be so complicated. I havent run into others with this problem, so Im assuming Ive just missed something obvoius.

I currently have installed 2 GiB RAM memory on a Dell laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 release. Today, as I was playing kmahjongg, suddenly my whole screen became black with a small " _ " symbol in the top left corner. My cursor showed up, however I wasn't able to use it. Inputing something with keyboard or trying to enter in tty didn't worked, so I restarted the machine with the power button. Now, when I check the gnome-system-monitor, it shows up that I have 1,8 GiB RAM memory available, instead of 1,9 GiB how it used to be.

recently performed an upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10. when I rebooted, my GRUB menu showed only the memtest86+ option, rather than the usual options for Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, and WinXP (which I haven't booted in a very long time, so I am almost 100% sure that it is not WinXP's fault. I was able to boot using a Live CD, and when I checked grub.cfg, all of my boot entries were still there. However, when GRUB itself actually loads, only memtest86+ is in the menu. I also checked that I can still boot by editing the memtest86+ option in grub so that it matched the entry for Ubuntu in grub.cfg, and it still booted correctly. However, I am curious as to why my GRUB is now forcing me to manually enter the boot entry on each boot. Here is my grub.cfg:
Code:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

New build to F12. Sound was fine in F11. Now, massive distortion. I have tried every possible permutation of settings. With the main volume control in the top taskbar, there are two positions of level setting where the audio drops to a normal level and sounds OK but any application changing the level or starting to use the Pulseaudio changes the level and its loud and massively distorted again.
In the Pulseaudio manager->sink->alsaoutput.pci-0000-00-11.5.analog-stereo -> properties-> show volume meter, the audio is always maxed out in level. I have tried everything, its unworkable right now. Its possible to start alsamixer from terminal and adjust settings for good audio but any future change reverts to distortion. All changes in Pulseaudio Dev mgr or vol control etc change the audio as they should but do not affect the problem.
