I have a Ubuntu plug server which I have been using with Samba and Mediatomb and two External USB drives.
I had it working about a year ago and then moved house and set it up again recently.
I had it working till yesterday when one of my children cut the power to one of the hard drives.
Since this I cannot get the system to recognise the drive that was unplugged. I have rebooted, powered down but cannot find the second rive.
When I setup my system again recently the system didn't work so I had to make some changes, I made two directories /dev/media2 and /dev/media3 where I mounted the two drives (sdb1 and sdb2). The system seemed to work fine with both mediatomb and samba.
After the forced powerdown;
/dev/media2 and 3 now seem to have disappeared and the 'working' hard disk is now recognised as sda1 and mounted on /media/external which is how it was before recent changes.
It seems something is taking the system back to previous state.
I have an HP motherboard w/P4 with 40 GB disk another Maxtor 500GB Hard disk on the usb. Problem: On start up with device selection for booting, my pen drive always gets listed as USB HDD0 and USB HDD1 and Iam able to boot thru' them. However my Maxtor HDD in the first partition of which I have installed FC 13 after much pain,so as to not disturb my existing installation FC 11 in internal drive. This device itself is not visible, nothing to have to say about its partitions in bios list of devices to select. Whether this is a drive related problem or bios related. How may I make it visible in bios list.
Further note: Fedora core 13 installation didn't worry about the windows XP and Fedora 11 installation in main drive. It allowed for installation of the individual boot loader in the installation drive itself.
Bios not recognising this drive precluded access at boot from grub.conf of the exising FC 11 installation too.
I have an Acer Aspire One "netbook" that has 2 SD slots. If I insert and try to mount an SD card post bootup it can't detect the card (not listed in fdisk -l, and no messages generated to dmesg). Almost as if the slot isn't functioning.
The weird thing is, if I boot the computer up with the SD card IN the slot, it picks it up no problem, shown in fdisk as /dev/mmcblk0p1, and I am able to mount it no problem. I am also able to unmount and remove the card and the SD slot continues to function normally. Although I can boot up the computer with the SD card in the slot with no issues, I'd like to be able to have that "slot" active on boot even if I don't have a card in it.
A few more details, Im running slackware 13 with fluxbox wm.
Just fitted my netbook (Acer Aspire One) with 10.04 and now trying to connect to DSL Internet with Ethernet cable through Siemens 4200 modem.The "Ethernet" light on the modem does not come on as it does when i'm in Windows on the netbook nor as it does when I connect my desktop (with an earlier version of 10.04 with no wireless capability).
I just upgraded on system from RedHat 4.0 to 4.8 and I'm having issues recognizing flash drives on the system. After a little bit of googling and attempting what some people recommend I am still having issues. I've tried the lsusb command but it doesn't seem to be recognized. I've searched the media and dev directories but found nothing showing any system recognition of USB devices. The ports do work as I've hopped the mouse and keyboard around to all of them and they work just fine.
I installed Ubuntu on a machine of our laboratory. Since we are at the university connections may pass through a proxy (whose url we ignore). All things concerning system update are nearly unusable. Several posts say to add in apt strings like $ export http_proxy="http:" $ export ftp_proxy="http:" but I don't know the url proxy at all.Firefox is set to "Direct internet connection" and all work well. In Windows all connection properties were set to "automatic" and updates were ok.Is there a way to have an automatic recognition by apt?
In this case I have a video capture device but when plugged in (usb) the os doesn't recognise it. Is there software (device manager) where you can a least identyfy it?
One of my friends seems to have been won over to the idea of me installing Linux onto his pc but he relies heavily on Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition which unfortunately isn't available for Linux.
I did a fresh install of Jessie 32-bit on an older PC and my WD My Passport Ultra is no longer recognized . It shows up on lsusb. I also IDed it as being sdf but... when I now try to mount it
Code: Select all/usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sdf /media/ manually I get:
Mount failed: Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.
My unit does not have internal DVD capability so I installed an external Sony that XP recognizes but ubuntu does not. I am 910 is that makes a difference.
Just installed Ubuntu K-K 9.10 4 months ago, still a newbie. Got my HP PSC 1410 all-in-one hooked up and the HP Device Manager installed OK and xsane. Printer works good and scanner handles pics great but I don't have any luck scanning a menu to doc format. The menu does have fancy scroll-work around the edges and main headings are a script font and Course names are underlined. All other items are clear font. I figured this all added to the problem of very unreadable scan results till I tried a page with all clear block font and it's still totally unreadable. I mean totally! I've searched till I'm out of ideas. There has to be a way to tweak the recognition of text.
I have currently gotten my onboard sound working after some tousling and trial (Intel ICH5), but my beloved Audigy remains without breath. I've been around on the KDE forums thinking that it had to do with Phonon after it permanently forgot my sound cards (a feature which enables permanent sound removal too easily, in my opinion), and the admin pointed me toward my distro's forums.
Here's some info:
[code]...
with some meaningful output, but, after a reboot, still no sound with speakers plugged into the Audigy.
2nd NOTE: I have just found this:
[code]....
The driver in use is NOT the emu10k1 driver, which I believe should be the one according to the alsa soundcard matrix. How do I load the proper driver upon boot?
Whenever I try to perform a gesture with easystroke, black blocks take up a large area of the screen, making it so that I cant see anything underneath them until I stop performing the gesture. It didn't used to be like this, before the gesture would perform mostly flawlessly. I don't know what I did to cause it to start malfunctioning, but I would really like it to stop.
I saw that in Google's Summer of Code that they were working on Facial Recognition for Digikam. Has it made it into the mainline yet? If so, where is it located in the program? If not, when will it be available? I'm ready to dump Picasa right now for it.
Allow me to preface this post with fact I am 80 and the PC challenges seem to be greater and comprehension a major focus. I just finished a 12 hour recovery on due to this new Toshiba Satellite not recognizing the partition I created with gparted.
The out of the box configuration is unallocated 100 Mib, sda1 NTFS System Boot, sda 2 NTFS WOG with 286'59 GiB, sda3 NTFS Recovery. IIts scary for me to attempt it again but I will try given some clear directions. An option would be my 149 GB external formatted with EXT 3 file system
I could not decide on a forum section, so I choose this one. About a year ago, I set up a wiimote white board for windows xp and ubuntu, and i played around with it. I install a program where you could custimize "gestures" or "flicks" that would do certain things, like if I drew a large F on the screen, firefox would open, or a s would save the file.
Now that I have a tablet pc, I can not remember for the life of me the name of this program. I reformatted my old computer a while ago and I google searched with no results. I remember is was open sourced and really awesome.
I have installed Fedora 11 recently on a new system. Sphinx speech recognition was working fine on my old system. When i run the same project on my new system, the system does not respond as it is waiting for microphone voice input.Then I checked the microphone and have set it properly and its working now. The details how i made my microphone working is at the following link:

Using my usb mobile broadband dongle I am able to access the internet about 25% of the time. I am able to make a connection to the '3' wireless network 100% of the time, but often Mozilla and all other applications that rely on an internet connection do not recognise that this connection has been successfully established, and give me error messages claiming there is no internet connection.
I can't discern any pattern as to whether the connection will be recognised or not. When it isn't recognised, the only solution is to disconnect and reconnect to the network. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes restarting the computer fixes the problem, and sometimes it doesn't. I also have access to a wireless network at uni. I have no problems using this network whatsoever. Housemates using the same dongle on Windows have no problems. I'm using an Acer Aspire one, the dongle is a Huawei e220, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I have only recently reinstalled the operating system and have not needed to mess around with any network settings to get the usb dongle to 'work' the way it is currently.
I'm finding increasingly difficult to type because of neurological problems. I've just had a meeting with someone from university who said they could get me some speech recognition software to write assignments. I was wondering if anyone knows of any which will run on Ubuntu rather than just Windows. (I don't have Windows on either of my computers)
I have two motherboards, MSI-6702 (64 bit single channel) and MSI-7511 (64 bit dual channel), I have two identical D-Link wireless cards and am running Kubuntu 10.10 on both systems. 7511 recognizes both wireless cards and connects to the Internet.The 6702 shows wireless grayed out on the connections page. The built-in Ethernet card has given out on both. I think I disabled it on the first system to have an Ethernet problem and wonder if I need to do it on the second. I would have tried it already but can' t remember how.
Is it possible to run OCR on new .pdf- and image-files in a spesifc folder on the server? Today the schools in the region was presented a tool that do exactly this, but of course this only runs on windows.
