Is it normal for mkisofs to use only 5% cpu power? it seems to take an awful long time to create a .iso file. Is there a way to force it to use more?
View 4 RepliesI have a Samsung N135 notebook which boots well from USB. When I travel, I am afraid to damage the disk due to shocks. When I boot from USB and dismounts the build-in disk are the heads parked away from the platters? Is the disk not spinning at all? Is there a command to force power off of the disk!

This script can also be called from a panel launcher (with ./<scriptname> if it is in $HOME). It will not disable the power manager even though the process disappears from the system monitor. The "if" condition is necessary because SIGHUP will return an error if the process doesn't exist.
If you want a bash command, add this to $HOME/.bashrc:

Iam trying to alter a bootable Debian install CD based on the instructions [URL] this is the command to rebuild the iso image as specified at the above link.
Code:
$ mkisofs -o debian-503-amd64-CD-1-preseed.iso
-r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin
-c isolinux/boot.cat ./debian-503 2> /dev/null
I've read the man pages for all the options specified and made sure that all paths are relative. However, the output iso file is not being generated.
I have created an iso image from a RHEL5.4 disc using mkisofs.
mkisofs -A "Red Hat Linux 5.4" -V "Red Hat Linux 5.4" -v -U -J -R -T
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o /tmp/RHEL54-x86_64-dvd.iso .
It creates the iso image no problem, however when I go to boot a new server from the disc I get the boot prompt, hit enter, answer the language and keyboard questions and then it throws the following error:
"The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD and press OK to retry".
Perhaps I need to specify in my mkisofs command that its supposed to be iso9660? This is on a RHEV virtual machine.
Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

I had no problems doing my video editing with my home videos whether they are dv or the mpeg4.avc hd format. I was able to use KDEdvdauthorwizard easily to make a burnable playable iso from my mpegs that I made from avidemux2. I upgraded many packages and since then I cannot make an iso that I can play at all.
Also, dvdstyler and qdvdauthor crash. KDEdvdauthorwizard says there is a problem with my transcode so will not make an iso anymore. I have tried many versions of transcode and none are accepted. Just a few weeks ago KDEdvdauthorwizard worked great for making my iso.
I decided to experiment with tovid and it makes a dvd that will not play in either of my dvdplayers. It plays poorly on the computer. I tried to make an iso out of my mpeg with mkisofs and that .iso will not open or play. I used mediainfo on the iso and this is what I got:
mediainfo output.iso
General
Complete name : output.iso
Format : MPEG-PS

My system is: dual core opteron 185 2.6ghz, 1000 gigs of hard drive, 3 gigs ram memory, onboard video nvidia hdtv capable. I can play hd movies just fine on my system. Movie editing is fast, too.
Since the yum repository for FC 6 is no longer available, I'm looking for a place to find the latest package of mkisofs that can be used on FC6. I could not find a decent place to download it from.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and I purchased a new ALFA AWUS036H wireless card. I would like to know if this "1Watt" wireless card is configured for full power. iwlist wlan0 txpower results:
wlan0 unknown transmit-power information. Current Tx-Power=27 dBm (501 mW). It appears to me that I should be able to increase the power. "iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1" does not work. Do I need to patch the new default driver that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with the aircrack one following these directions:[URL]...? Monitor mode and a injection tests seem to work fine with the driver I have installed.
I'm looking for any power monitoring devices for Linux to allow monitoring power quality, voltage changes, and outages. This would be for North American three phase power system. I want to have this data fed live to my own program. It should be something much better than just jury-rigging a circuit to fee the power waveform into 2 or 3 audio cards.

Can I force-logout the other session from a new SSH session?

I do 'mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt'. Only an example. When I mount image, ls outputs john_smi.txt. So it has shorten to 8.3 and translated ' ' into '_'. This is in accordance with the manual, although it doesn't say the conversion will be done.
Quote:
-iso-level level
.........................
With all iso9660 levels from 1..3, all filenames are restricted to upper case letters, numbers and the underscore (_).

However, as it did not reject the file name, it should have converted it to all upper case, it seems to me. And -iso-level 2|3 does the same thing.

We have just installed VNC. It seems to work fine. If we connect to a remote system using VNC, on say DISPLAY 5, it works and we can run our applications. If another person wants to view this session, they can also connect to DISPLAY 5, and it is fine.
However, if you are just sitting at your own system, without using VNC, and someone connects to your system using VNC to DISPLAY 0, so you can show them what you are doing, they do not see your session, they see a plain startup session, not the session in which you are running your applications... How do you let VNC users see your normal non-VNC session? Have I configured something wrongly? We are new to VNC!
For personal reasons (I'm hearing impaired) I need my linux machine to produce mono downmixed sound. Downmixed, not just single channel.
Is there any possibility to force such behavior in ALSA / PulseAudio server? Hardware mixing (short-circuiting L and R channels with some resistors) is not possible at the moment. I'm looking for a software solution to mix two channels into one.
I know that some media players have this functionality, but I'd like the whole system (ie games, flash applications, etc) to produce downmixed audio.
