I have a dual booted system - windoze and f12 (64bit). I try to have all partitions mounted in fedora so have edited my fstab. This has been successful for my ntfs partitions but on boot fat32 is not a recognized filing system? Fortunately I don't need the partition but would be good to know how to label it?

I believe I have messed this install up to the point of no return and think I should go ahead and start over.

Its a stock alienware that I bought 3 years ago. The only change I have made is updating the ram, which I bought directly from dell to make sure it was compatible. The alienware is an intel core 2 duo, 4 gigs of ram, 160gb HD, dual sli nvidia graphics cards. not sure about the mother board, could figure it out if its necessary. Is there any reason the hardware wouldn't be supported?
I'm not that new in Linux I've been using for years since 2010 mostly, and formatted a number of flash drives with allegedly fat32 fs however, this time I need to be sure I'm formatting it as fat32 for experimental reasons and I can't seen to find a mkfs.fat32, both vfat and fat are fat16 and I don't know what msdos does...
View 4 Replies View Relatedi needed to change my external hard drive's file system from ext3 to fat32, to use it in windows, which i did the simple way: i shrunk the ext3 partition, made a fat32 partition, copied the files over, removed the ext3 and made the fat32 bigger. unfortunately, while gparted was making the partition larger, my computer shut down. i lost all my files and the partition messed up immediately. i made a new fat32 partition, after deleting the old one, but noticed that gparted was showing 100 gigs already in use (???). so now i have a 300 gb hard drive with only 200 gb i can use; i ran df to make sure gparted wasn't messing up, but indeed it shows the partition as being only 200 gigs in size. i haven't tried making any other kind of partition yet, such as ext3, for fear of losing my files again, and because it wouldn't be permanent anyway, because i need those files in windows and stupid microsoft won't make their OS ext3 compatible.

Also, I'm having trouble when I try to unmount the volume of a SD card, there's 0.8 GB being used that I expect to be cleared when I choose to 'empty trash', everytime I select 'unmount volume' the SD card window just shuts down instead of clearing that space.

Since a couple of days i noticed that some keystrokes get not recognized by the system, which is really annoying if i type something. It also happens sometimes that a random key gets pressed. For example if i want to type "Hello world", I get "Helllllllllllllo, world", the system would print the "l" character, for example, as long as i don't press any other key. I have a similar problem with my mouse, sometimes it would just get stuck and would not recognise any movement or key presses for a couple of seconds.

View 7 Replies View RelatedUsually I try to fix things on my own, which btw always ends up failing So the other day I got an update of some packages, I installed them and restarted the pc. When I was back in ubuntu, the speaker icon on my panel was gone, and so was the audio settings for pulse too. When I went to system > pref > sound I got an error.So now I decided to ditch pulse. Pulse have always given me problems btw. I installed alsa, but couldn't get the shortcuts for up, down and mute to work. This is important to me because idk where the audio button on my laptop is (ASUS). So I tweaked around for awhile and decided to go for OSS since it's the only option that will allow me to record both out and ingoing audio, which is an option I use a lot. So I tweaked around and all that stuff, and now I'm very frustrated.
I have come to the conclusion that my audio card is unrecognized now. I think I have every single ALSA / OSS driver, plugin and codec installed. Ok here's the audio card info I got from the command lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Cougar Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be9 (rev a1) So the card is some how recognized by the system but not according to gstreamer-properties.
I've got a problem on my Debian, I've tried installing all the correct alsa packages and all packages that have the word sound or audio description. The problem that is happening here is that when I go into settings and click on sound in Gnome, it appears to have a dummy output and in fact, a few weeks ago, the sound was working properly. Now, I believe, that after an update, the sound card was not recognized. Used the lspci command in root mode, and showed my sound card which is onboard. I'll leave the model below it, because I've tried everything and could not solve anything.

I just installed Ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 17R (in part to determine whether it's windows that's causing my system to freeze daily or whether it's a hardware snafu, and in part because I like Ubuntu), but it appears that Ubuntu is not recognizing my wireless router--it says no networking devices detected. I was thinking that it might have been a problem with the install, but is there any way to fix it manually?

I have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. The drive was formatted when I installed so it's 100% Ubuntu. The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter the usual mild annoyances inseparable from a Fedora release (installation from the LiveCD worked OK, but generated a requirement for 162MB of day-one updates, followed by something like 150MB of downloads to install OpenOffice - which comes as standard with Ubuntu/Mint/Mandriva and, no doubt, many other distros) I have been able to get the system working reasonably well. If there are major performance gains from the use of ext4, I have been unable to detect them. However, the only really frustrating issue from my perspective has been the difficulty in getting my two printers (both of which worked straight out of the box in the other distros mentioned above) to actually print. The devices in question are a Brother 2140 laser printer and an HP 2280 multi-function inkjet.
Both of these devices were properly recognised by the system, but neither would actually print (there were some initial signs that action was imminent, but no result - the printing processes were finally shown as having been stopped). I removed both printers, and started from scratch. The laser printer could not be persuaded to work, either with the recommended 2170 driver or the old faithful 2060-gutenprint driver. However, when I tried to add the HP, the printer utility advised that I needed to install "hpijs" before proceeding. This I duly did, and the HP 2280 then worked fine. On the basis that my only aim was to get the printers working, I decided to ignore the recommended drivers for the Brother 2140, and select the "2060-hpijs" version. This worked fine, and others may like to try this workaround.
I've just completed an upgrade from Fedora 8 to 10 to 11. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R/S2 MB with the intel G33/G31 graphics chipset. I've never been able to get a valid xorg.conf file with this card. The monitor is being recognized correctly, but when I go into system-config-display and select intel nothing happens. And when I manually edit xorg.conf, X won't start.

I have installed the KDE spin and am liking it so far. Except for the fact that I cannot get onto the internet. I rely on this ZTE USB wireless modem for internet and that just would not get recognized in Fedora. Plus, my Windows installation is down and I would love to keep it that way if at all possible.
I have followed a few instructions on this particular problem. I have modified the menu.lst file to account for the usbmodserial and product. The usb_modeswitch program has also been installed and the usb_modeswitch.conf file has been edited with the values I got from the 'lsusb' command's output.
But the curious thing is that when I actually execute the usb_modeswitch command, I get a message saying that there are no drivers for the ZTE device. Which means that I cannot go onto the wvdialconf part of it at all. Basically at this point I dont have a modem, according to Fedora. But it does get recognized as a ZTE device. That tells me that there is something right about what I have done so far and may only need to do a few tweaks here and there.
PS - I am based out of India and this is a Tata Indicom Photon (NOT Photon Plus) connection for which I have a USB device which acts as a modem.
When I boot my computer, I can see dvd-rw drive detected correctly, though 9 times out of 10 it does not get detected by OS - drive's icon is not present in nautilus hence I cannot access any cd or dvd.
