Apr 19, 2010Before buying an SD memory card, I'd like to know something more about the CPRM protection, in particular:Does CPRM influence the way I am supposed to access my own data? That is, does CPRM encrypt it? Could CPRM prevent me from accessing my own data?Is it possible to disable or eliminate CPRM from either the memory card or the card reader?Are there manufacturers selling CPRM-free SD memory cards?Is there any real alternative to CPRM-protected SD memory cards beside USB flash drives?Is Linux support for SD cards good?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: How Is Localhost Tied To A Particular NIC
Aug 12, 2010I've been involved in the setup of a 3 node cluster that uses multicast to communicate between them. Each of these 3 boxes are pretty much identical, network-wise, with 4 ethernet interfaces. Before configuring the cluster we ran the multicast test utility that came with the application to validate communication. Part of the utility requires you to specify which IP address to go out on. We tested by specifying localhost, which worked for two of them, but a third wasn't able to communicate with either. This was rectified when I specified on the 3rd box that it should use the static IP associated with the active ethernet port. None of the other 3 ports are connected to anything. How does localhost tie to a particular interface? The network config is the same for all three boxes, except for the ip addresses, the route tables appear to be consistent (although I might not be specifying the right command-line arguments to see the necessary information).

Apr 13, 2010How do I access a flash drive? I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I would think plugging it in would auto detect but that does not happen. I have tried several different flash drives. I stick them into a USB slot and nothing. I went into Places.Computer and Places.Home Folder. It's not showing there either. I tried several different USB ports. It appears Ubuntu can't detect USB flash drives.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Virtualbox Usb Flash Drives Not Available?
Dec 28, 2010I have 64bit Maverick installed and am using VirtualBox 3.2.12 to run 32bit XP Home. In the devices menu, nearly all the USB devices are grayed out. The printer is the only exception. It is working fine. If I plug in a flash drive (memory stick or whatever one wants to call it), Ubuntu sees it and it appears in the menu but is grayed out. When I remove the device, it disappears from the menu. This tells me that VirtualBox sees them. How do I get to access these USB devices? What have I omitted to do?
View 7 Replies View RelatedDebian Hardware :: DVD And USB Flash Drives Not Detected
Oct 16, 2010For quite a while I didn't have any problems and everything worked just fine, until I had to upgrade to KDE 4 from 3.5. And that, as you understand, required a major upgrade of quite a lot of stuff (not only the GUI, but also some of the system including the kernel). After I spent a while fixing up the mess (it works ok now, mostly), I still have quite a problem with optical drive and external disk detection.
Problem 1. DVD drive.
Sometimes it works fine without any errors - the system detects the drive and can write and read the mounted DVD (that's exactly how it was before the upgrade). And sometimes (or should I say most of the time?) there is no drive detected.
Problem 2. Flash drives.
I connect a flash-disk. It gets get detected, mounts automatically - yahoo! But.If I start the system with the drive already connected, then the device is not even recognized (doesn't appear in /dev). So I have to replug it.Used to work fine before.Something tells me that the problems have a common cause. Correct me if I am wrong. Please help!
OpenSUSE Install :: CD And Two Different Flash Drives (using The Dd Command

Ubuntu :: Multiple Flash Drives For Storage?
Jan 4, 2010I am running Karmic on a stripped laptop, and running it off a usb thumbdrive.Its purpose is mainly as a slide show/video show inset in a tableI did not really want to go out and buy a HDD, since it does not need to store that much. Then I went to aldi and they had 8gb flash drives for $5, so I got 6. The ultimate question comes down to the best way to make use of them. I ordered a 7 slot USB hum off ebay for cheap, and I was going to go from there. would it be easier/better to just plug them in and make links to them from the normal folders and just operate directly from there, or is there a better option. I guess a usb raid array could be neat
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Tested Flash Drives With The 2.6.33 Kernel?
Apr 19, 2010I've read that that Linux 2.6.33 kernel supports TRIM, vital to maintaining performance of a flash hard drive). Has anyone tried it? I'm wondering whether the 2.6.33 TRIM support works as intended, keeping a solid state drive from slowing down over time as they will do without TRIM. I've considered adding a SSD to my system, as it's about the only thing I can do to make it faster, short of a complete rebuild. But, I don't want to waste the $ if it's only going to work under Windows 7. Articles about SSDs typically only address performance in Windows 7, unfortunately.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Swapfiles On Hard Drives Vs USB Flash
May 22, 2011So once more am I attempting a shot with Swapboost.
I inserted my practically free 2GB USB flash drive unmounted my two swap partitions and mounted the USB as swap with the Swapboost script.
It is working well. However as I already was running two swap partitions on two separate IDE channels I'm not sure if I'm actually gaining something with this.
Logic says that least I should have increased I/O performance from my drives since I am sparing them from swapping, right?
I will make some experiments later today to see how this affects file transfer speed over my IDE channels and my USB ports (I have in the past noticed a decrease in USB performance with this enabled).
But for now, Swapboost is working nicely.
Code:
FilenameTypeSizeUsedPriority
/dev/sda5 partition9768920-2
/dev/sdb1 partition18555000-3
/media/DOOM_2GB/swap file1946964176432-1
Yes I know it's more swap than I need Buuut.. if I made the swap areas smaller and it would use all of them would it then lead to performance boost?
I am running on small amounts of RAM and some applications I use are very RAM hungry. Mobo only supports 1GB which I'm running on and because of this I put in a video card with 1GB worth of VRAM to save the RAM as much as possible.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Suddenly Flash Drives Think They Belong To Root
May 5, 2011One day recently, when I plug in a flash drive, Xubuntu won't let me write to it unless I open my file manager as root (gksudo thunar). This happened a few weeks ago, back under 10.10; I didn't say anything because I thought the upgrade to 11.04 might fix it. But the behavior continues.If I stick a zip disk in the drive, I can write to it as normal...but a flash drive gives me read-only permission unless I open Thunar as root. I don't recall doing anything special with my system, except maybe installing MountManager (I've since removed it, but I'm still getting read-only access).
View 5 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Unable To Label USB Flash Drives (Cannot Initialize)
Apr 10, 2010Using Debian Lenny. I'm trying to label my usb flash drives. I checked on the Internet and found a page, but I can't get it to work: [URL]. I umounted the usb drive. I checked it with
Debian:~# blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="B1CC-3C4F" TYPE="vfat"
But when I try to make a label I get this message:
Debian:~# mlabel -i /dev/sda1 ::VFAT_DOC
Can't open /dev/sda1: No such file or directory
Cannot initialize '::'
mlabel: Cannot initialize drive
If I try mlabel -i /dev/sda1 ::VFAT_DOC when the drive is mounted
I get this output:
Debian:~# mlabel -i /dev/sda1 ::VFAT_DOC
Total number of sectors (7855032) not a multiple of sectors per track (62)!
Add mtools_skip_check=1 to your .mtoolsrc file to skip this test but no label is attached to the drive.
I added this to /etc/mtools.conf:
drive p: file=/dev/sdb1
and ran this command:
mlabel p:VFAT_DOC
and still can't get it to work
Can't open /dev/sda1: No such file or directory

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Flash Drives Auto Mount To Wrong Filesystem
Jun 10, 2011Sometimes when I plug in a USB flash drive, it is mounted to /dev/usb0 instead of /dev/drivename. This poses a problem for me because I have applications that depend on files I keep on flash drives, and having to frequently change the file paths is difficult. I haven't been able to find anything on this topic with a cursory search on Google or through the Debian reference. Heck, I don't even know what /dev/usb0 is (though I would like to learn, in the interest of being less of a noob). This is happening on a Squeeze system running Gnome, so I believe nautilus is what's responsible for auto-mounting my flash drives.
Beyond that, I don't know what other information I should provide; if you need to know something else, ask me (and perhaps tell me how to access that information). Someone on IRC suggested that I didn't have my drives set to mount in /dev/, but I have no idea how I would go about fixing that. If there's a configuration file that deals with this sort of thing, chances are I haven't touched it since installing this system. Debian installer sees usb drive as cd drive, so it adds it in fstab, but with wrong file system options (udf,iso9660) which is not the one your flash drive uses.
OpenSUSE Hardware :: USB Flash Drives Not Mounted With Correct Permissions

now how as root can not have enough permission? i've been up and down the forums and google to no avail. poked around in the fstab and even mtab as there are two files, one a lock, that seems to come from mtab.
Ubuntu :: 3 U3 Flash Drives Won't Mount Or Freeze System, Or Won't Unmount?
May 15, 2011I have 3 u3 type flash drives, 1 Memorex and 2 Sandisk Cruzers, and one non-U3 (JDSecure).The purpose is file storage.All four work perfectly on Ubuntu 10.04 and XP.I have continual problems with the U3 devices on 11.04. Problems vary from not being able to open the flash drives causing screen to freeze until I remove the device from the hub, or I am unable to unmount the device causing the desktop to freeze until devices are removed.Sometimes I am able to access files in the flash, before the freeze.The non-U3 device works perfectly on 11.04, 10.04, and XP.Sounds like a system problem to me. I have google searched this to death, but can't find a solution.
