Nov 9, 2010I've installed the Xfce spin of Fedora 14 (64). The Panel (or main task bar) has several icons by default and as most people. I like to add/remove and move the different items and shortcuts. I can add and remove, however moving items I cannot. When I right-click and select 'Move', the Panel turns gray, in fact it's completely grayed out, like locked. For info, it was absolutely fine in F13.

Fedora :: Install KDE Spin On An Existing XFS Partition Without Formatting It
Aug 29, 2010I want to install Fedora KDE spin on an existing XFS partition without formatting it. (Since said partition is full of my data that I have nowhere else to put).

Jul 27, 2010I've been trying to get Security Spin up and running (after having tried unsuccessfully with knoppix STD). I need to be able to connect to my home network, or hell any wireless network.I've tried using iwconfig wlan0 as well as the options in the Network Configuration panel as well as other related panels. I'm able to change and set up profiles for the wireless card, but not to activate them. The button just isn't clickable.If it helps, I'm running Security Spin from a unetbootin usb drive. The wireless card is identified by the system as "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection" .

Dec 16, 2009I want to set up a web server on a PIII machine with about 800MHz processor and just under 500 megs of RAM. So how would I go about configuring Fedora 12 to do this? I've tried the small spins and I just don't know how to configure it so it will install properly. I was able to get the Gnome spin on it but when it booted I couldn't get through the log-on screen. I have an AGP NVIDIA Geoforce 6200 video card. I'm wondering it that's it. The only Linux distros I could get on the machine was Puppy and Debian. Puppy did not edit the boot record very well. Debian went on there with very minor issues, but edited the master boot record very well so that I can dual boot to WindowsXp HE. I also tried to put Centos on there but the Live CD is not installable. I have to make an installation CD from the DVD Package. Anyways, as far as Fedora is concerned, I just want a utility, light weight spin that has web-server, mail server, and eventually MySQL. Other wise I'll have to commit treason and use the horned Debian as my savior in this battle.

Ubuntu :: External Drive Won't Spin Up?
Jul 2, 2010I come here as a technical PC user and fan of the Ubuntu forums ^^..I am the current owner of a Western Digital Portable HDD - Blue - 320 GB (Advertised).Recently, I have discovered I had bad sectors (Which were remapped I guess according to Ubuntu's Disk Utility-message that popped up in the upper right)... How is something I don't know because I have already had it replaced due to an internal busted USB port, and have taken really good care of it.Well, I right-clicked in My Computer on the drive (Windows XP) and ran Windows Error Checking on it. It took over a day and finally came up with a failure message. During the test, the drive made funky (yes, funky) noises and now is inaccessible. (It will NOT spin up, or show up as a drive in XP ANYWHERE (Including Device Manager) [but it does go into sleep mode o.0])
I do not have my files backed up, and this is so because this IS my backup =. (Or.. 'Temporary File Storage' for the critics out there.)I have access to WinXP, Vista, Ubuntu, Mac OSX, and Win7, and the bottom line is that I don't know what to do.. I bought it at Walmart (about $100) and also a replacement plan.. but the thing is, I'm not sure if it is dead, and whether or not I can somehow recover my files without disassembly..I'm thinking that maybe the Sata / USB internal interface is dead, but wouldn't putting it into another enclosure void the warrantee?Help? (I'm sorry in advance if this has been posted in the past... I would just like to know what I should do)I know this involves Windows, but from reading what I have, I have determined that this forum has more intelligent people than any other.
CentOS 5 :: Spin Down Disks When Idle (5.4)?
May 9, 2010System Specs
3.2 GHz Dell GX280
Sans Digital TR5M-B in JBOD configuration (PCIe 1x)
CentOS 5.4 installed via QmailToaster instructions. Up to date via YUM.
No GUI (no KDE/Gnome), command line only.
My old server died and reinstalled based on above with no problems. All is running well. Box is used as mail/web/home disk network. I want to be able to spin down the drives in the Sans Digital box when idle as they are used mostly for bulk storage (video editing, etc...). The external enclosure on my old server automatically spun down idle drives so this has never been a concern. Google has not helped me so far (operator error?). I did see "hdparm" may work if the drives support it but I am not sure if this is the nest solution.
Ubuntu :: Spin Down Idle SATA Drives?
Dec 30, 2010I realize this has been asked many times before, but I'm fairly certain I've read through the majority of those threads and haven't found a working solution yet. I recently built up a Ubuntu Server 10.10 x64 box for backups, serving up files, and development activities. The server is running SATA drives in AHCI mode. Because this is a file server I have quite a few hard drives installed, which are currently a mix of WD 1TB Black and Green drives. I'm attempting to get my non-boot/data only drives to spin down after 10 minutes. I've tried the following:
1. Edit hdparm.conf with the following, replacing 'b' with the identifier for each disk:
Code:
/dev/sdb {
spindown_time = 120
}
This fails, and based on my research I'm pretty sure udev isn't properly running the hdparm configuration anyway.
2. I've also tried manually setting the spin down time with hdparm as follows (via command line and through rc.local):
Code:
hdparm -q -S 120 /dev/sdb
Which states that it successfully set the spin down timer to 10 minutes, but this also fails as the drive never spins down.
3. Finally, I just forced it to spin down immediately with:
Code:
hdparm -y /dev/sdb
This worked! Unfortunately, that approach isn't terribly useful. The drive stayed spun down for 20 minutes (thus far), so I haven't bothered to run iostat, etc to try and figure out if something is keeping the drives active. I don't believe there is because one of my drives isn't even mounted currently and it also won't spin down automatically.
Ubuntu :: HDDs In NAS To Spin Up At Network PC Startup?

View 5 Replies View RelatedDebian Hardware :: External Hard Drive Does Not Spin Down?
Apr 12, 2014I have a WD20EZRX (Green) 3.5" hard drive installed in an external USB3 case (Icy Box IB-351StU3S-B), which is detected as an AS2105 device in Debian 7 (Linux 3.13 from back ports). My computer is a TP X200s. The problem is that the hard drive does not spin down even with hdparm -S timeout set and the file system unmounted. It does spin down with the hdparm -y command, though, and stays that way until accessed. The case also seems to prevent the TP entering standby mode, or at least the indication light is left blinking when the lid is closed. Other than this, the drive works fine. It does have a GPT partition scheme and ext3 file system.
Note that the TP does have only USB2 ports.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: All Disks Spin Up Every 10 Hours / How Do I Find Culprit?
Jul 10, 2011I'm running 10.10 with about 10 SATA disks attached. If I spin them down with hdparm -Y, every disk that has a filesystem on it (but -not- disks that are partitioned but have no filesystem) spin up, simultaneously, about every 10 hours. How do I find the culprit? The machine is sitting effectively idle---I know it's not something I'm doing that's causing the spinups.Is there some way to monitor -anything- that touches a particular block device?
My suspicion is that this might be the gnome low-disk-space warning daemon statting everything. (This -used- to be gnome-volume-manager, but I'm not sure where that code went when GVM was dropped in 10.10---how do I find that code? What package is it in?)
And if it -is- the disk-space monitor, how do I kill it dead? Not just "don't tell me about disks", but "don't even bother looking". I would -really- like these drives to spin down and -stay- down, possibly for days or weeks, until needed---not spin up every 10 hours until I either manually spin them down or until whatever I've set in hdparm spins them back down.

Apr 13, 2010I have a security cam watched by a computer with Motion. on that computer i use hdparm -S 240 /dev/hdb to stop the harddrive where the pictures go from running when not used (witch is usually 2 days in a row). Now when motion is detected, the first 3 or 4 pictures are saved, and then there is a pauze for about 5 sec. before the next picture. This has to do with the hard-disk spinning up (I tried without), but I don't understand why not more pictures are held in memory until the disk is ready. how to solve this without having the disk running all days?, or what i should start reading

General :: Hard Drive Won't Spin Down Automatically Or Stay Spun Down When Requested
Sep 28, 2010GNOME has an option "Spin down hard disks when possible"; is it ever possible? I'm using a netbook so I only have one drive and the operating system is on it. Is the operating system ever idle for more than a few seconds? If I spin down my SATA drive with sdparm it spins back up immediately. It's a 320GB 7200RPM drive; just wondering if I could save some battery life.

Apr 2, 2010I have a Samsung N130 with a Realtek 8192 wifi card (possibly 8192e, I'm not sure) and I am trying to run Fedora 12 on it. I used to run Ubuntu until trying their latest beta and realizing it's not very good, so I looked for something else. Ubuntu was at least easy to get the wifi working with just a few quick commands that were written out, word for word, in order, on the Ubuntu forums. I tried openSUSE on here and it didn't have wifi working out of the box either but people on their forums refused to give me actual instructions and just kept bumping me from thread to thread with people giving vague advice or else just telling me I was looking in the wrong place. I'm hoping that someone can give me clear and detailed instructions on how to get this wifi card working. Keep in mind that I am coming from Ubuntu and so I'm not super comfortable in CLI, if I need to do some CL stuff I will need clear and detailed instructions on how to do that.
