Ubuntu Multimedia :: Zune Won't Work - Can't Copy / Erase The Files?

Aug 22, 2010

There are many Zune threads - all stating that zune won't work with ubuntu - so I get that. But I am curious... Why can I mount the zune player and see the files on the zune - and then when I try to add to the zune or remove them get an error message. Ubuntu can see what is on the Zune, so why can't it copy/erase the files?

Fedora Installation :: Erase 1208 Packages?

Jul 25, 2010

Using FC12 as a basis vor Amahi and started to use it more and more from that point. Started to Linux some time ago and am using Debian and its variants mostly. Som experience with Yum is scarce at the moment.Ran into problems with old transactions not finished and did what was advised: <g> checking for problems. That solved it. Great. So I decided to look into Yum options a little more.

So I told YUM to ERASE it. Shock and horror after a long wait and a looong list of packages being set to be erased it offered to erase 1208 packages!! Of course I denied politely first. There are lot of base-packages in that list, am I about to run the complete current setup? Leaving me in an unbootable / unusable state?

Fedora :: Erase And Paste Keystroke Combination?

Sep 3, 2011

I've watched with envy as one of my friends is able to erase a URL in the address bar of a browser and paste in another one using a keystroke combination on his windows machine. How can I do that in Linux?

I think he uses CTRL-V in Windows. This combination pastes in Fedora Linux (FC 12 Gnome and previous versions), but it doesn't erase what's there first.

I have a Debian Squeeze installed on my old iBook G4 mid 2005. The computer has been giving me hard time and I want to sell it for parts. Before that however I'd like to erase the hard drive securely. Is there a software that this forum recommends for erasing hard drives completely and securely? Is there Linux equivalent for something like DBAN which can be installed on a CD and then boot the computer from it?

General :: Secure Erase Of CF Card Over USB?

Aug 9, 2011

I have a CF card I'd like to erase. My CF card reader is connected to my Linux machine via USB. How do I do a secure erase (i.e., the ATA Secure Erase functionality) of the CF card?

I have tried hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sdc, but I get an error: ERASE_PREPARE: Invalid exchange. In fact, any hdparm command gives me the same error:

# hdparm -I /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange

I read somewhere that hdparm can't do an ATA Secure Erase of a drive that is connected over USB. Is this true? I tried using sdparm, but sdparm doesn't seem to have the capability to send the ATA Secure Erase command to the CF card. So, what is the proper way to do this?

Ubuntu :: Erase Profile At Logoff

Aug 3, 2010

I work for a public school and we are implementing a number of Ubuntu NBR 9.1 netbooks. I wanted to use Likewise Active Directory for authentication, but have problems with the software so now I'm onto another solution for our problem.
We are going to have one login for all users (Students, is the name). The problem with this is that Website passwords can inadvertantly be stored, potentially compromising users personal data. Additionally, I don't want to have any files left in the Students profile in case people accidentally save personal information in their files.I'm thinking there are potentially two solutions:

1. The Students profile is deleted when the user logs off. This will erase web history and files

2. The Students account is always logged in with a temporary profile (or no profile, if that is possible) that deletes itself at logoff because it is temporary.

I'm having a hard time coming up with search terms for a solution like this, so I thought I would put the question to the experts.

Ubuntu :: How To Erase And Reinstall Grub

Oct 11, 2010

Several moths ago I installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat alfa3 in a newly created partition while I was using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. After I installed the 10.10 alfa3, I realized that it also installed its grub. Moreover that grub could not detect the kernel updates of 10.04. Thus, I recovered the grub of 10.04 via live CD. Interestingly after I returned the grub of 10.04 the boot time of 10.04 has considerably increased.

For example, the Ubuntu splash screen appears 20 seconds after selecting Ubuntu in Grub menu. I thought that a fresh installation for 10.10 final release would solve the problem but it seems that I'm still getting the same boot time until the splash screen is the same. It seems that I need a fresh installation of Grub. The methods that are introduced following url are just recovers Grub. I need to erase and reinstall the Grub. [URL]

General :: Erase Operating System

Nov 22, 2010

Assume I have a computer on which I want to use ubuntu for a while (single boot). Assume also that in about six months I want to give this computer to Mr. X, but I do not want Mr. X to know that I have been using ubuntu. I don't want to install anything over top of ubuntu, I just want the computer to be completely (or as nearly completely as possible) blank so that Mr. X cannot infer what I've been doing on it. The trick here is that I can't use operating system x_{1} to delete operating system x_{0}. I don't want Mr. X to know anything about which OS I have been using. Mr. X, by the way, is a sophisticated computer user but not particularly interested in tracking me down. Once he sees that the computer is blank Mr. X will just install his own operating system and everybody will be happy.

Is there a kernel option that I can give at boot time , or an other tool I can install from Debian/Ubuntu to achieve this ?

I know Adobe Acrobat can do this completely and well, but it isn't free. Does anybody know what else might be able to do this job? I need a utility that can erase everything, including deleted/cropped content.

Ubuntu :: Erase Vista And Integrate Partition

Mar 25, 2011

I am running a dual boot system under ubuntu and Vista on my laptop. Many months ago the Windows partition crashed completely so half of my computer is practically dead. I would like to erase Vista and integrate their partition in the Ubuntu one. The best case scenario would be if I could just merge the two partitions into one and just have one large Ubuntu partition. If this is not possible, could I create a second hard drive within the linux partition?

I would just erase everything and reformat the whole hard disk to run under Ubuntu, but unfortunately I need my computer on a daily basis for work and I have installed so many programs that it would be really painstaking to reinstall them all from scratch... I am not so skilled with informatics, and I'm really scared of losing data, so if anyone could spend some time for a step-by-step solution description I'd be really grateful! Or, of course, eventually write a link where the problem is treated. I am running under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
