General :: Checking ISO For Errors
Feb 26, 2010
I chose Mint 8 Fluxbox and have the iso. I cannot figure out how to check the iso for errors and the MD5 signature.I'm using Windohs XP so I tried to install MD5sum.exe. When I double click on it to run it all it does is flash and then nothing.When I type in the commands it says it can't find it or it can't read it or something.I may be typing the commands incorrectly. I'm just not understanding.I need to check the iso for errors but can't understand how to check it.

On my FC11 installation Palimpset Disk Utility icon in the top menu bar is reporting that I have a disk failure with the caption "one or more disks is failing".When I open up the details section in Pilimpset I can see that "2 sectors are failing",I have checked this with gparted checking facility and it reports that the disk is OK.What I would like to do is to check the disk using a command like tool or ofline tool, which would then tell me where those bad sectors are on that partition so that I can resize it (using gparted) and have the bad sectors in NON ALLOCATED DISK SPACE.

i am currently running palimpsest (system -> administration -> disk utility) and letting it "check" an unmounted filesystem.
i know its just running fsck.ext3 on this drive... the drive is formatted ext3, and is used on a hardware media player (WDTV Live Plus) in another room... i just moved it in here to avoid copying recorded HD shows over the LAN.
anyway, i was informed at boot with this drive connected that it needed to be checked, after booting it is mounted, but says it has errors and needs to be checked. it is checking, i would assume messages from fsck.ext3 would be logged to /var/log/fsck/checkfs, but i have never been interested in this type of thing before... usually when my drives start to get errors, its time to replace them... this one im sure is caused by being unmounted incorrectly by the stupid WDTV Live Plus...it locks up sometimes, lol...
i dunno, this is a big drive. just wish there was some "status update" other than a whirling indicator... im tailing the log file i mentioned above, but so far it just has "Nothing has been logged yet." (which i take as a really good thing at this point.
EDIT: at the very end of the filesystem check, i got a message about the filesystem being clean with no errors. id still like more of an indication than "whirling indicator thingy"...guess ill go back to CLI for checking filesystems. lol

I have been running 10.4 with no problems for some time now. Today when I booted up it started checking the drive for errors, and I just left it to do its thing. I came back to this warning screen: Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode.Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly.
I've tried all of these with no luck. When I select to run to low graphics mode, it says "Stand by one minute while the display restarts...OK".I select OK and then it gets stuck checking for battery state.I try to reconfigure the graphics, and nothing happens when I select any of the options on the next screen.

Sometimes at startup I get this message "Checking disk 1 of 1". Does that mean it's checking all partitions on the hd? After a bad shutdown there is no prompt for fsck to run and the system just boots up. In fstab I have both options set to "1" for the partition Ubuntu is on, all others set to "0". Any ideas on both?

Code:
But I don't see anything except "Test for IE". It is like the tests are being treated as comments? Do I need to turn something on in the server?

I run Ubuntu 9.04 and was recently told by my university that my computer is massively port scanning the network. I am interesting in learning more about figuring out what is happening to stop it, but I am lost at where to begin. What steps should I take (or files to look at) to figure out what is happening?

I'm writing and correcting API documentation in Sphinx using reStructuredText. Does anyone know of a good spellchecker that will handle this format, or a bunch of Unix/Linux tools that will allow me to use Aspell with it?

I am using Red hat on my laptop and normally playing in the console. As I only plug in the battery supply when the battery is down and going form console to GUI just to check the battery status is quite cumbersome , So was wondering if the status can be checked form the console itself.

Can I have parity checking without a raid? I would like to have parity checking but I want to maintain separate and independent drives so that if one day I decide I want to bring one of my drives to Bob's house I can do so. I Do understand that when I bring the drive to Bob's house it would at that point mess up the parity checking.

The free Windows application Speccy returns very useful information about the hardware + software installed on a computer. Before installing Linux as double-boot, I was wondering if there were an up-to-date Linux hardware database so that I could tell users to run Speccy, and then somehow check against that database to make sure their hardware is supported, so that I don't waste time trying to install Linux on unsupported hardware?

checking of services in Nagios. You all know the check_[service] command right? In the commands.cfg and windows.cfg. To check for the different types of services/ports, we just replace the [service] in check_[service] with the name of the port? I only know of check_http, check_ssh, check_ftp etc. Some ports like Finger, snmp etc, all these we also write it as 'check_finger', 'check_snmp'? 2) And, if that is the case, do we have to install additional plugins to monitor the ports defined earlier? 3) Lastly, if i want to monitor finger,snmp in windows server, would i need to download any software?

I need to know which files were added/modified/moved/deleted after compiling and installing an application from source code, ie. the command-line, Linux equivalent to the venerale InCtrl5.
Is there a utility that does this, or a set of commands that I could run and would show me the changes?
The following is sort of OK, although it includes the lines where changes occured
(eg. "@@ -2,6 +2,7 @@"), and "." and ".." that I don't need: Code: # ls -aR /tmp > b4.txt
# touch /tmp/test.txt
# ls -aR /tmp > after.txt
# diff -u b4.txt after.txt

I have one file called test.sh and in that file I have the below code. All this code is, is paths to three directories (as you can you can clearly see!).
Code:
#!/bin/bash
BACKUP="Documents /bin /sbin"
Now I have this other file which reads the directories (by using $BACKUP) and creates a tar file of everything in that folder. But what I am unsure of what to is create a bit of code that will simply look in test.sh, read all the directories and print a line saying either they all exist or some are missing. If possible it would be good to know which directories are missing too!
I have fiddled around with using -d but I can only get it to work for one directory or manually having to write out each directory.

I'm new to C language and some help finding places in the following code where a system call is made and error checking is not done. I found one but since I don't know C language at all I'm not exactly sure what else to look for. Link to my file: [URL]...
I found one and added error checking:
if (setoutpipe){
//Changes: Added error checking to the system call close()
//Orginal Code: close(pidefd[1]);
if(close(pipefd[1] != 0){
fprintf(stderr, "Could not close piple.
");
exit(255);
}

I have seen this message more then once and I cannot find information that is understandable to me and which is recent, so maybe the situation has changed with newer kernels/file systems. My question: is this normal behavior with linux and beside from increasing the number of start-ups after which this check runs, is there another way to avoid this? Isn't there a way to do a check after the os has been loaded?
