General :: CD Reads On Win98 But Appears To Ber Empty On Fedora14
Apr 27, 2011
I got a CD with a book - doc files.When I look at it with nautilus or with wine notepad it tells me that the CD is empty. capacity 49.4 MB. It does show the name of the CD BOOK2XTRAS - so at least the name field in the first sector is where it is supposed to be.When I boot to my 2nd drive - an old win98 sys - it sees all the files on the CD. Same CD drive in each case. I go to another fedora computer I have and it does n.ot see the contents either.

My father has an HP PSC 1510 All in One Printer - Scanner - Copier. I have recently managed to convert him over to Linux, his current distro of choice is Fedora 12.Everything was going surprisingly well until recently: the message came up on his screen saying that the ink levels were low. After replacing the cartridges the message continued to appear. However the main nuisance is that it will not allow the printer to print at all now.
The cartridges are working as he still has vista on his system and logged in and printed out from there without hassle. Is there a way to reset the memory of the printer in Fedora? I am not much help to him here as I know nothing about printers.

I was analyzing the Disk read using hdparm utility. This is what i got as a result.
Code:
# hdparm -t /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 108 MB in 3.04 seconds = 35.51 MB/sec
Code:
# hdparm -T /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 3496 MB in 1.99 seconds = 1756.56 MB/sec I m not sure what does Cache read and buffered disk read mean.

multiple issues started happening on a partition of mine. (probably whole installation and i haven't noticed since most of my files are on that partition)the most important one is that a certain folder appears to be empty even though it isn't. (screenshot "issue1")
the second issue is that files that are no longer on on the root folder of the partition (for example, lynx5.jpg on the screenshot "issue2") appear to be there. on "issue2" screenshot, it's the lynx image and the Gr_trees folder. removing them by deleting them doesn't work. moving there somewhere else makes them temporary gone - they reappear on reboot though. (the screenshots seem to be automatically converted to jpg when uploaded, if there is a problem you can find them here as well:[URL]..
edit : even though it's not the normal way to solve a problem : if reinstallation is definitely going to solve the problem, i have nothing against it.

My iPod touch was working fine in 10.04 and since the upgrade to Maverick, I cannot see the songs in it in Rhythmbox or Banshee. In Rhythmbox it appears empty and crashes Rhythmbox when I try to right click it to see the properties. In Banshee the songs appear as 'other'. Trying to read it in GTKPod yields the following error: iPod Database failed: Error during parsing of file /home/user/.gvfs/user's iPod/iTunes_Control/iTunes.I tried re-installing the gstreamer plugins, and also libimobiledevice to no avail. Also tried re-installing the ipod plugin for Rhythmbox and nothing there either

I'm trying to install Xampp on my virtual Fedora 14 desktop. When I open the terminal, sign in as administrator, and yum install Xampp I repeatedly get the message, "Child returned status 2, setting up Install Process, no package Xampp available" I get the same message after I download from a different mirror.

I am going to be given an old "piece of junk" and would like to turn it into a speedy little "toy" to use for things, along with my os x and xp.The computer has windows 98 installed and only has 32MB RAM (could be 64, not sure until im given it) and a 1gig HDD. It also has a CD drive and a Floppy.I would like to speed it to the max, to make it perform (in comparison) as nearly as good as my mac. eg. when apps are opened, they only take a few seconds to pop up. I am looking at Linux distros but am struggling to find one suitable.
I was thinking of Puppy but DSL would probably be more suitable.I would like some recommendations to whether I should give windows a fresh install and try to delete whatever is unnecessary, or just clear it and download a linux and use WINE.

Can someone explain to me, or if it's even possible, for a Windoz computer to send a message to Linux (or vice versa) and have the receiver act on that message? For example. I have a DOS program running on a win computer that monitors some hardware connected to the parallel port, and heyu home automation running on the Linux. I would like heyu to turn on a light triggered by an event on win.
Can I send a message, via the OS, from win and run a script on Linux? Can I do that from Linux to Win? Once upon a time there was a messaging system called WinPop (circa Win3.1, and Win95) I assume the functionality still exists even if those archaic programs don't. Currently, I make Windoz create a file on Linux, then the Linux box checks for that file once a minute using cron. This works, but I would prefer a cleaner solution.

got a bit of a strange and probably difficult issue. I recently repaired a friends pc (WinXP) and felt inspired to tinker with my old 98 system. First I'm trying to find out how to dual boot Win98se with any distro of Ubuntu.
The system's sprecs are:
Gigabyte GA-7IX f4a motherboard
AMD slot A 900Mhz thunderbird
384MB ram (3x 128MB)
[Code]...
I was able to get xubuntu 6.06 to run and even installed, but can't figure out how to dual boot. I would prefer 8.04 or later since I am more familiar with those ones.

I recently removed Winblows Vista from my laptop and replaced it with Kubuntu 10.10 (I left the recovery partition on there, just in case). When I turn on the computer, the GRUB menu appears, I press enter, then a little flashing underscore appears on the screen in the top left hand corner. After a few seconds, the Kubuntu logo appears and I can log in.But yesterday I replace Kubuntu with Ubuntu 10.10. The Boot process is the same, but the little flashing underscore in the top left hand corner flashes for about 10 seconds longer then Kubuntu 10.10 did, and then a few paragraphs of text appears for a few seconds, then I am logged in automatically.Is this "unusual" boot process anything to worry about, or am I just being a noob.

Is there already a program that reads multiple pipes or file descriptors and writes to the standard output (not splitting lines).Like cat, but reading all files simultaneously and preserving lines.It is needed to avoid coding of select/epoll loops or using multithreading in simple programs. Like "select loop for bash".

I am trying to write a script (especially C-shell) to execute a fortran code that reads in parameters from keyboard typing. I will have to process this .F code for many times with the parameters the same for all my data files, therefore, I don't have to type in everytime I execute the .F code. But I don't know what is the command in c shell to read in a text files that contains all the parameters I want and can make the shell read in appropriately to feed the .F code.

I looked through google but can't find an answer for this..... say I have a directory called "files"; this directory contains several other directories..... what I wanna do is delete ALL the files within the subdirectories, but NOT delete the subdirectory. Can this be done easily without having to run a command for each subdirectory?

I have a large file that a process writes to. I would like to empty that file. If I delete it the process will stop writing to it. Just flush the content but keep the file.
