I've been having trouble writing to DVDs on one computer, and I am trying to figure out whetgher the problem is hardware or software related, or, perhaps, both. The brasero CD/DVD writer puts the md5 checksums of each of the original files in a hidden file on the DVD. I think it then calculates the sums of the copies and compares, but the last time I did it, it told me it had permission problems with the drive, and that failed. When I put the DVD in, udev finds it and mounts it in /media with me as its owner. Apparently, brasero mounted it some other way, and presumably that caused the problem.
Secondly, after I brought it up again, I went into the /media mount point and did md5sum on the files there. One of them a gzipped tar file, produced and input/output error. Yet if I use cmp to compare that file with the original it finds no difficulty. So what is going on? Finally, I have tried to write shell scripts which use cmp to compare the original files with the copies. The general form is
cd XXXX find $* >> /tmp/X for i in `cat /tmp/X` do cmp $i YYYY/$i done
where XXX is the mount point in /media and YYY is the original directory containing the relevant files. This works fine except that if the file names have spaces in them, the shell script treats each word as a new file name. So I need some way to arrange things so that `cat /tmp/X` returns the complete file name. Nothing I've tried works.
Trying to use the html editor 'Arachnophilia'... here are the instructions on their website. ".Open a command console (Linux: shell console), move to the Arachnophilia program directory, type "java -jar Arachnophilia.jar" For convenience, this command can be made part of a shell script, and those using X windows can easily make a desktop icon." hoping someone can explain how to run this program.. using a new install of fedora 12 (which has java)...i'm a newbie, trying to go open source on a low end laptop - LOVE Fedora .[URL]..
I recently downloaded a source file from [URL] and wanted to compile it for fedora. I found that the source was written for ubuntu as all the instruction in README file was for ubuntu machine. Can I compile the source for fedora?
I use the show-leaves yum plugin, and sometimes I use that info to remove some unnecessary packages. But that list can be long, so I write them on a text file.
1) Instead of removing packages one by one is there a way to remove all packages written in that text file?
2) Why isn't the output of the show-leaves plugin compatible with the output of "package-cleanup --leaves"?
I open an ODS file and edit it and save, fine. But sometimes and for no readily apparent reason it refuses to save the document with the error message:"Error saving the document <filename>: Write error. The file could not be written". I have upgraded my version of OpenOffice but the issue remains. Once it starts with that error the only way to save the file is to actually abandon my change and restart OOffice. Today I lost an hours stuff as the auto save was also failing but not giving me any warning it was failing. I'm not sure if this is an OpenOffice, file system, Fedora or permissions issue though I've not noticed anything similar with other applications. Have set permissions to 777 but still get the error.
Its annoying to unmount my flash drive twice.. its not a major problem actually but its kinda annoying , its whenever i plug-in my flash drive.. everything works well except when i need to un-mount it.. I usually unmount it twice using right-click of the mouse, then it mounts itself back, so i have to unmount it again.. Is there any way to control this? How do i setup the auto-mount option for USB flash drives?
I've been having a lot of problems solving my HDD mounting problems and renaming. It finally worked, but I had to delete everything from fstab. As crazy as it sounds, it worked, when I turn my computer on, they automatically mount. They are all working fine. I will attach screen shots too. As you can see my fstab is blank, I was just wondering, is this a problem? Or is it totally normal?
How do I run a program I've written in C++? I'm new found some tutorials to study from but didn't find anything on how to run it. I'm using text editor too write it and saved it as .cpp but everytime i open it it just shows what i wrote it doesn't run it.
I was attempting to get crontab to kick off a daily job, but the job wont start. I opened /var/log/messages and noticed all the logs were from 6 months ago. I cleared the log and then did a tail -f so I could watch it for activity. I then hit my box with anunsuccessful log in attempt. Nothing happened to the log. The uptime of my box is 22 days and the logs that were in it before I cleared it were from months ago.Is there a daemon I can check or another file I can mod to get logs writing again?
I wanted to develop a cross platform GUI application.So I thought I would research on Firefox.I havent been able to find out which GUI framework is FireFox using ?Is it GTK, QT, or what ?
I've a problem with the welcome message. As you can see the welcome message with landscape-sysinfo is written twice. The second welcome message is the older one which is something like frozen:

I need to filter the log from a massive wget. I want to remove the progress lines and only leave the last one. Now each progress line starts with a newline '
I don know how this happened, but my system only recognizes an disk when the disk is blank. If thereÅ› anything on it it won mount it. Why is this happening?
I have written a cd with photos and dvd in Linux and then I tried opening in windows xp but it didn't. It says that it is unable to read it.what can I do?
I'm trying to edit mobi files. To do so, I looked for a mobi2html program, which I found here:URL...I followed all the instructions mentioned in the READ_ME file that comes with the zipped source. I strongly believe, as no error messages appeared during the installation, everything went according to plan.My question is simple: having completed all the installation procedures, what should I do next? My general procedure is to look up for the new program name in the "applications" tab, but I know that won't always do the trick.
I went and fdisk'd a USB disk and put the Fat32 filesystem onto it. Then I thought I ran dosfsck over it which I thort formatted the disk - apparently not. Then I copied a bunch of files and directories to it. Now I am unable to recover the files and data. In the rare instances when I perform a sloppy mount I see directories named 001, 002, 003 and 004. These directories variously contain files named 001, 002, 004 (no 003) etc.
Fdisk gives me:
I don't know enough to use dd, kpartx, parted, partmon, partprobe, partx et al
After installing Windows 7, the GRUB got re-written by the windows bootloader. Now after booting into the live cd and mounting /boot partition (sda2), I tried to reinstall the GRUB with this command grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda as told by this [URL]
But I got the an error which says, Are you sure /dev is mounted? then i tried the same command on the / partition (sda5) which said, cannot find boot directory, Are you sure /dev is mounted?
And installation failed, now after restarting its just a black screen with grub> prompt.
I have a small ubuntu server setup and I would like to create a directory that can be written to by a select number of users. I have a backup directory setup and I want to enable my account as well as three others to be able to read/write to that directory. So far I haven't had any luck.
The owner of the backups folder, a directory on a separate disk mounted under /srv/storage, was owned by root and under the root group. I added the group backups and then changed the backups directory group to backups. I then used chown to change the backups directory to 775 to enable group members to write to it. I then tried to touch a file in the backups folder but no such luck. I did notice that when I run groups, my user account isn't shown as belonging to backups but is shown under the /etc/group file. I even made sure the GID of backups is in fact below 1000.
Anyone have an idea on how to create a shared directory that everyone can create, modify and delete any file? I believe my problem is related to the fact that root is the owner of the backups directory.
For example, I want to install a texteditor called Editra, i done it like the following
First, I install the Editra sudo apt-get install Editra - success ,its version is 0.5.30
Second, I run it in Terminal Editra - it can work,but with the error infos "(python:1682): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_add_accelerator: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed"
Third, I used command line "dpkg -L Editra", and found that the Editra is installed under /usr/share/pyshared/Editra,so i created the .desktop like this sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Editra.desktop
It showed, and I clicked it for running, but it told me error infos Could not launch 'Editra' Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/pyshared/Editra" (Permission denied) Not just Editra, so many software that written in python have the same question, such as tortoisehg...
i am write in the forum because i am a bit of resignated. i tried almost all distries and just suse i can install on my notebook without any problems. actually the install works on all other linux deviantes too but the boot records arent written - except for opensuse - but i dont like opensuse. ubuntu is the system which i have choosen and makes a very handsome impression to me. but back to the main problem my notebook is a sony vaio with 4x64 GB SSD cards. 2 ssd's - raid 1 with windows 7 and the other 2 ssd's (volume1) should be ubuntu. the devs are in /dev/mapper/isw_bic_fifbgib_Volume12 till volume 17
i tried to install the boot files to mbr, on volume1, volume2 to the /boot, to a sd card, to a memory stick but ubuntu wont boot from SSD. i just can boot with cd but its not a option for me.
