May 18, 2011I have a fairly large home partition,and several directories with content in, that currently reside in my home account.I now have two slackware installs and would like the content to be available to both installs.Is it OK/advisable to make a directory in /home that has the content in, that both user accounts are mapped to for the content (music and video mainly)? I was thinking of setting the folder as readable/writable by all. This bit makes me wonder if I might encounter problems.There is no spare partition or alternative drive that I could use for this purpose and there is too much data for me to duplicate it in both user accounts.

Sep 1, 2010I have SATA Western Digital 120GB 5 yeras old hard drive. There are four primary partitions. In order FAT-32, JFS, EXT4 and the last SWAP. Yesterday I copied the third ext4 partition with Clonezilla. Everything was OK. But Clonezilla issued therey strange for me message (and upsetting): "Hidden data between MBR and first partition" It was about 32KB. Clonezilla copied this hidden part as well as MBR. Clonezilla sugested that these hidden data may be used for some technical reasons. Now my questions:
1. What does it mean hidden? I partitioned disk with GNU fdisk.
2. Where they may come from these hidden data?
3. Should I be aware of them? Is it possible this is a some kind of hardware virus?
4. How to clean disk?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Windows 7 Hidden Partition And GRUB
Feb 18, 2010I was installing Ubuntu on my new laptop (with plans to dual boot with Win 7) and, I'll admit, I did something stupid. You see, there was a 1 meg free space before the Windows 7 'hidden partition' and it was driving me nuts. So, what I did, was use gparted to move the hidden partition to the start of the drive (yes, a 1 meg move). Install of Ubuntu went off without a hitch, but after reboot things went a bit differently. The Recovery partition shows up as a possible boot partition in GRUB, in Windows 7 I can now see the recovery partition as a normal NTFS drive, and I can no longer use the features that the partition gives. I know this might be more of a 'ask on a Windows forum' question, but I was hoping someone else had done something like this and knew how to restore the hidden partition to being, well, hidden.

Apr 13, 2011I have got a Acer Aspire 9300 which came with one of Bill Gates unreliable operating systems and a recovery partition in case something goes wrong. I surely installed linux (now on opensuse 11.4) as quickly as possible. mounting this hidden recovery partition under linux? All I can see is this from "fdisk -l"printout:

I assume that the partition in question is between blocks 0 and 2047?

Ubuntu Installation :: Install As A Hidden System Partition With Truecrypt
Oct 7, 2010Right now I only have Windows 7 64bit installed. I'd like to keep it installed and have a hidden Truecrypt system partition that holds Ubuntu. I've installed Ubuntu once before, but it was a while ago so I don't remember the details. Also, I'm not entirely sure how to work Truecrypt as I've never used it before. Do I install Ubuntu first and then run Truecrypt, if so, how do I deal with the fact that installing Ubuntu involves many partitions. Does Truecrypt recognize this automatically or do I have to somehow encrypt them all?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Dual Boot - Acer Laptop Hidden Recovery Partition
Aug 17, 2010I just got a new acer laptop that came loaded with Win 7, and I want to dual boot with Ubuntu. Naturally the laptop didn't come with a Win 7 disc, but instead has the stupid recovery partition. I've made the recovery DVDs from the eRecovery program but....
From what I read the acer recovery setup is extremely picky and will refuse to work after the partitions have been messed with. Apparently the ALT+F10 to start the recovery process on boot won't even work if acer's MBR is overwritten. What's worse, even the recovery DVDs won't work without the MBR! (At least from what I've been reading... I guess if you install a different HD you are SOL) So how does one get around this? I couldn't care less about acer's stupid recovery partition, but if I ever need to send the computer in for service I think they actually charge extra to restore their crap.
Ubuntu :: Hidden Folders In The Home Folder That Aren't Hidden?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Black Hats - 105GB FAT16 Hidden Partition On Hard Drive
Mar 31, 2010Since August of 2009 I have been under attack by corporate Black Hats. I found a 105GB FAT16 Hidden partition on my hard drive. Seventy four percent full (78GB). What led me to this was the fact that I couldn't help but notice that my Internet connection was a revolving door that never stopped spinning. So I went looking for why.
I removed the hidden flag, and patched the partition, but couldn't open that thing no matter what I did. I tried for a month. The attacks started as soon as I stopped these guys from accessing that data. At this point we are 9 months into 24/7 attacks. I have interviewed with the FBI, and local law enforcement, but they are intent on making me out to be a conspiracy nut. I am not at all. All they wanted to do is quiz me on my computer skills. If I managed to draw the attention of a corporate security group they killed it.
I am a US Navy trained Electronics Technician. 58 years old with ECM experience. I have been doing both bench, and field service on all manner of electronics for 40 years. My last job was supporting field engineers, and technicians for Samsung Electronics of America. The attacks have spread to my mother, and best friend. My phones are bugged internally at the phone company, and my modem has had its firmware altered to call them. They run around inside my ISP like they own the place.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Hard Drive Shrunk - "hidden" Partition Might Be Recovered?
Mar 10, 2011I decided to swap my existing small hard drive for a bigger one which went well. Then I formatted the old drive using a windows vista machine before putting it on my spares shelf. To my amazement after formatting my 20GB hard drive had become an 8GB hard drive. I fear the worst but remember that Ubuntu put a large swap file on the drive and wonder if Vista has just ignored the system partition. I tried attaching it to my Ubuntu laptop which reports a healthy 8GB hard drive even after formatting again. I don't know enough about Ubuntu to try repartitioning it in that so I tried DSKCHK in windows which reported a healthy 8 GB hard drive. Is all hope lost or is it a "hidden" partition which might be recovered under Ubuntu? If so, how?

Jul 24, 2011I installed 64 bit Fedora 15 today on my desktop pc after briefly trying it a while back on my netbook. Although I'm much more comfortable with its modern look and function than I have been with other Linuxes I've tried since 2008 I'm a bit stumped with a couple of things.
1. I've followed two guides for installing flashplayer and I still don't have flash video in Firefox. Can I safely remove flash-related packages and start again? I use Mobile Broadband with a 3gb/month limit and don't want ot have to reinstall Fedora and the Updates again if I get in a mess.
2. I'm familiar with logging into Nautilus as root - in Ubuntu - to alter the Clearlooks theme a little bit. I take the blue off the scrollbar for example, and add a bit of space round the menu items entries (the blue highlighted area). Although many Fedora 15 programs are using Adwaita, Abiword for example is still using Clearlooks, yet my changes aren't visible - the scrollbar's still blue. What's missing here? I installed beesu and opened /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks...etc using it and I've checked to make sure my alterations are present.
3. Where is a safe site providing libdvdcss2 for Fedora?
4. Is it possible to get the Fedora logo next to Activities in the top right area? I thought I'd seen a custom theme for this and I like the idea of not all Gnome 3 distros being generic and identical.

Jul 10, 2011I have a dual head setup on Fedora 15 with nvidia drivers: two separate X screens (no xinerama, no twin view). Screen 1 is at right of Screen 0. My Wacom tablet is recognized by the xorg server and the whole tablet area is mapped to the whole area of Screen 0 which is exactly what i want. However when the stylus goes beyond the right edge of the screen, the tablet area gets mapped to Screen 1 and there is no way to come back to Screen 0. What i would like is to restrict the tablet to Screen 0 all the time. I used to do this in Fedora 13 by adding a file named
Code:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf
in which there was a line
Code:
Option "ScreenNo" "0"
It doesn't work anymore. The option seems to be ignored by xorg since it doesn't appear anymore in
Code:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
How can i restrict the tablet area to Screen 0?

Fedora :: Maximize A Hidden Window By PID?
Jun 14, 2011I'm running Gnome on F13 and have either removed or never had a window switcher that allows me to see what windows are running. Thus, when I minimize a window it "disappears."
