Fedora :: Mounted ISO Is Smaller Than Actual ISO?
Jul 5, 2011
I have an ISO of a game I own that shows up as 5gb. When I mount the ISO like this:
mount -t iso9660 -loop game.iso /mnt/loop
and go to /mnt/loop and execute
du -hs
it returns 2.5gb. Examination of all the files and directories in /mnt/loop does indeed add up to 2.5gb. So my question is what happened to the rest of it? Does the 5gb ISO contain a bunch of empty space? Should I try to burn it to a DVD and see what happens or should I burn it to a dual layer disc? I don't want to waste a dual layer disc if I don't have to.

I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. I want to make my grub menu look good and have set a beautiful background image to it and set the resolution so it fits the screen. Is it any way to resize the actual menu to make it smaller without shrinking the background picture?

I am using 10.04 LTS Lucid, and I notice the free space of root is getting smaller and smaller.
Five months ago, there was about 3.9GB free space of root, but now it is only 1.6GB. I always run sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get autoclean every time the update is finished, and also use Bleachbit to clean the system, but both are useless.
I never faced such problem with older versions of Ubuntu, is there any measure to fix it?

1. There is not any .deb in the /var/cache/apt/archives.
2. The total content of /var/log is only 167.6 MB, that won't be a problem.

I'm running mythdora based on FC12. There is available at the reposities version 1.0.6 of vlc. How can I update vlc to the actual 1.1.10?
Code:
# yum --releasever=14 distro-sync
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mythdora.com/mirrorlist/14/release-i386 error was 14
That's okay - mythdora has not the FC14. Where can I change it and point the mirrorlist from mythdora to fedora?

I am looking for the log messages where I can find out what time my netbook hibernated?
I have checked in the /var/log. And all I could see was pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
Is there one which would tell me what time my computer hibernated?
The reason for this is when I go out I leave my netbook running on the battery. When the battery get to about 5% it will hibernate. I just what to see what time it did hibernate?

When we have Oracle 10g in RedHat, the free memory goes down soon after bootup of the system and never increases. I learnt from various forums that Linux does cache the disk files for the better performance. And when any application requires memory they get the memory and the caching does not block any memory. We want to capture the free memory available for one the harware planning activity.
1) When we use vmstat command, it gives very less free memory. since it caches large size files, the free memory is very low.
2) We tried free command, but how do we know how much actual free memory is available. i.e. excluding the cache usage

I am trying to split up partition between Windows and Linux...I'm trying out a few distros for my wife's laptop. I have Live CD's of the latest Fedora and Xubuntu. Started off with Xubuntu and the live CD detected everything very well so I installed it a split up the drive between it and vista using the install manager.
Windows is fine, but after logging into the default Kernel (generic etc..) it doesn't load the actual Xfce desktop, but just leaves me at the command promp ttyl I think. I tried to run "startxfce4" and got an error that no drivers were detected.
There's also a error when I first boot up that something couldn't be mounted. I'll re-post the error info in full when I get back, but where should I get started? How do I get into the actual desktop environment? I also can't get into root, as I don't know what the default password is, so I can't install anything.

I am trying to clean up a collection of music files, often in windows i receive errors on the collection because some of the files have a "?" question mark in the file name, in windows this is not a valid character for file names. How can i search/find files with a question mark in the name? Each time i try to search for "?" i receive a list of items that match a wildcard search where ? is a wildcard. I want to find file names that actually contain the character "?".

What are the benefits of a smaller specialized kernel? I know it will have a smaller memory footprint but will it actually affect performance in user-space at all?

I bought a mp3 player about a month ago. It works fine with fedora 12 except for one problem as of late. I'm guessing some updates have upset some thing. I use to be able to mount and unmount the device with no trouble from the drop down Places menu. Now when I unmount it disappears from the list and I have to unplug it and plug it back in to see it again when it mounts. I was wondering is there a way to keep it in the places list when connected but not mounted. Or maybe a way to scan the usb port to find it again.

I have mounted a windows network share using the gnome desktop environment, using Places -> Connect To server.The network share is OK, and I have the icon on my desktop and can see all the files.I want to be able to use this network as well in the console, so I need the mount point.What is the location on the filesystem were this networkdrive gets mounted? I find nothing in /mnt and nothing in /media also using mount to look at the registered mounts, there is no entry for the networkdrive.Nevertheless, I have this networkdrive now open in my desktop, and have an option to unmount it.I know that using the mount.cifs command you can specify the mounting point.

I am trying to get NFS mounts working properly using autofs, but I'm only getting partially results. I have an auto.master set up for indirect mounts and a list of map files for each entry. Forgot to mention that when I mount the directory using /etc/fstab or setup a direct mount in /etc/auto.master I can see files in the mounted directory...

I have a 500 G, where 80 are used for FC13. I added a new 80 G partiton, using Disk Utiliy, called it Backup, and I can access it when I am logged as root, When I log with any other user, even with all privileges (added almost in all groups), I get a dialog box requesting authentication.
I enter my user password, file manage just disappears as soon as dialog box disappears and I think it is a permission issue again.
In disk utility opposite to Device there is "dev/sdb", in mount point there is media/backup.
I opened fstab, I can not see an entry, here is the fstab :
Quote:
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Wed Jun 16 00:58:19 2010
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
[Code]....
So what is the route to follow to follow to allow my user to access normally read and write to it without anu persmission issues

Is there a git client that doesn't require git to be installed? Every client I've found so far requires the binary "git" to be installed on your system and is simply a wrapper to that. Does anyone know of an actual standalone git client?

I have a large number of folders that each contain quite a few files of varying sizes (from a few bytes to 400kb or so), mostly smaller ones. I need to get the actual (not the disk usage) size of these folders. Is there any way to do this with a command like 'du'?

I've been having some problems with my desktop. My windows and my sidebar work fine, it's just nothing updates on my actual desktop(like the wallpaper, files, etc.). For example, if I mouseover one of my files on my desktop, nothing happens. I can right click on it and it comes up with the right menu, but it doesn't select the file or anything. I just changed my wallpaper and nothing happened.

I'm well aware this is a common issue among Linux users, but have exausted every method I've researched.
On Xubuntu, I have a small set of USB speakers. Now, the system does detect the output. The mute and volume controls on the speakers work properly (I can see the sound bar move on the screen when doing so).
I've tried various applications such as pavucontrol, to try and fix the problem.
When I try playing audio, sound bars are moving in pavucontrol, but alas, no actual audio from the speakers.

Im trying to find a way in redhat to see if there is a command that could tell me the actual used memory by the system. For example when i do the free command, i want to see the Used minus cached value. Is there a way linux can report the true used memory and not the cached/buffer etc? if there is not specific command for that, can someone tell me a bash script that could calculate used-cached ?
