Have downloaded ubuntu (because my linux lite died). Very pleased so far with ubuntu, but I can't figure out how to access files or photos from a memory card. Just can't seem to go to anything that even shows its existence.

how do i access the files on my blackberry's memory card? also is there a way to see ALL the files (like the system files and everything) on the phone?
View 3 Replies View Relatedrecently I stumbled upon the fact you can buy a Sony Ps2 to Ps3 memory adapter which is a USB device that plugs into your PS3. However what I was wanting to know is there a way to mount the PS2 Memory card under Ubuntu via the USB device. Do I need to install a PC/SC card driver as its flash memory or do I need to use CCID?? Is it usbmount or pmount? I am a little clueless how you would get Ubuntu to read & access a PS2 Flash Card. The memory cards are manufactured by MagicGate and they bear this legend on the back; This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules & regs and the Canadian ICES-003 operation is covered by the following conditions,
1> This device may not cause harmful interference.
2> This device must accept any interference received. Including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The way I look at it is as follows, if these memory cards are now defunct and no longer supported by Sony as such an 8mb memory card makes for a cheap storage method. Especially when people are throwing them away! The Venom adapter's are available on eBay. Let the hilarity ensue, mail your friend's some files on a 8-MB Ps2 Memory Card, then laugh with evil glee when they cant open it.

I came across this article, which I found to be very interesting and thought share it with you all.
Graphics CardMemory as swap space or RAM disk.

I recently bought 1GB video card of 'xfx radeon hd 5450'. It came with cd for drivers of windows.
I installed fglrx. Still in ubuntu 10.10 (lucid) I ran: lspci -v | grep -i prefetchable
which shows 256M which is video memory of my ASUS motherboard.
A process is trying one access to memory, for example through an array (ex.: vect[0]=123. What happens?
Here below what I guess but I'm not sure and accept any comment (please, distinguish between "the system" and "the CPU" in case).
Let's suppose swapping to disk disbled.
We have two scenarios: without and with cache.
If no cache is present in the system:
1. The CPU must discover the phys addr of vect[0] virtual addr. To do that, has to read from 3 (or 2 depending on the system?) pages tables, stored in memory as well.
2. The CPU writes to the final address.
These mean 4 memory accesses.
If cache is present:
1. Like above but, if the pages tables are in cache, we have 3 accesses to that.
2. If the req. page is not in cache, it's reads from ram and transferred to it. Afterwards, cache is written.
In the best case we have 4 cache accesses.
By default, when applications run, they are limited in the amount of RAM they are allowed to access right? Technically my VLC could not access memory addresses used by Chrome. But how is it possible for the operating system/compiler to mistakingly allow access to an address a code is not allowed. I know alot of 'exploits' and 'payloads' take advantage of this fact and create variables that take up too much space and 'overflow' into other addresses, but how does this actually happen?
Are some programs more prone to this than others? Does it matter in which language they are coded in? For example, I know C is allowed to play around with memory, while Java is not. Also, what are the advantages of this? What if someone wrote malicious code to access someplace in memory, what could they do? The only thing I can think of is passwords/keys stored in RAM.
PS I thought about putting this in Stack Overflow, but my question is much broader than just specifically related to a programming perspective. If I've placed it in the wrong place, I'm sorry.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I have a few 2gb CompactFlash memory cards that I bought to use with my FujiS7000 digital camera. Only problem is that that camera will only read/write to 1gb memory cards. I don't suppose there's any way to format these 2gb cards so that the camera sees them as 1gb cards?

I have a problem with recognising my mobile phone's memory card in Ubuntu 9.10. When I plug the phone in it starts the mass storage mode, but nothing happens in the PC. I suspect that I may have deleted phone's icon from the desktop, and I don't know how to bring it back. Also the memory card doesn't appear anywhere: nor in the Places tab, nor in Media folder.The phone is Samsung U900 Soul.

I bought a micro sd card for my BB 9000 and having a lot of trouble with it. windows as it just doesn't work or maybe it is that the card i bought is faulty? Probably too late to get my money back from paypal now :0(. I did this

while the BB was connected. And you will see byt the attached pic that the sd card is not mounting. I can't see where the card is now. The file manager did list it but can't remember where. With all the other drives(i have 2 hard drives) but now i can't see it. There is some confusion as to wether the music that the BB software i used via windows put the music on the BB device or the card. Different things say different things. The filemanager on the BB suggests the files are on the card but when i go to add more files i get an error saying the device is full. The device can only hold 1gb of files including installed apps. I probably haven't mentioned everything here as this is doing my head in. I have been battling for weeks with it and i wish i had of known earlier that the card might be faulty so i could have got my money back.
I have my home partition installed on a SD memory card, this memory card was damaged beyond recovery, already bought a new card but i dont want to install the OS all over again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing 10.04 Netbook version. I am finding on my Asus EEE 901 that sometimes file copy just seems to freeze - seems to happen usually when copying from the built-in SSD memory to the plug-in SDHC memory card. I have tried reformatting the card and using a different card. It is not just this computer since I found the same thing on my last Asus which was the 900 model.
I am told that there are issues with Nautilus. Is there anything which can be done to improve this or is there anything else which I can install besides Nautilus? I am assuming that there is some issue related to Ubuntu's handling of SDHC memory cards.
It is becoming annoying because it seems to work sometimes and then not. When it happens only option seems to be to turn the netbook off and on again. Even if the file copy is cancelled the card seems to be unaccesible until rebooted.
Also after a certain point it seems that when I try and copy new files to the card, they appear to copy ok but obviously are corrupt in some way - when you try to play videos for instance they are faulty.
im new in all this, i already found a lot of drivers for my pc but this is annoying me xD fedora does not recognize sd memory/card
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an HP laptop with a recently installed copy of Mint 8 KDE Community Edition. I created the initial admin user account ("joseph") when I installed.
I had an existing home directory under a different name from another installation, so I added a user with that name ("joe") and imported a copy of the original home directory. The user "joe" didn't have the same admin privileges as the initial "joseph" account, so I added "joe" to the sudoers file and the same groups as the initial admin user.
Everything works perfectly under this arrangement, for the most part. Now here's the problem:
I have a T-Mobile G1 phone that uses Android. I've rooted and ROM-modded the G1, and have the microSD card in the phone set up with two partitions. The vfat partition stores all the photos, music and other stuff the phone needs. The ROM mod allows me to store apps on the SD card, so that second partition uses ext3 for its file system.
When I'm logged in as the admin "joseph" account and I insert the SD card in the laptop's card slot (or plug the phone into the USB port), the SD card can be mounted, and I have full access to both card partitions. I can see all folders. I do this to backup the contents of the card to an external drive (especially the apps in the ext3 partition, since that's been trashed on me once before on the phone).
However, when I log in as "joe", I cannot view the contents of the ext3 partition at all. I can see the vfat drive fine, and the ext3 partition mounts, but with user/group "joseph/joseph." When I open Dolphin to view the mounted ext3 partition, I get the error "could not enter folder /media/disk-1" at the bottom of the view window in Dolphin.
Here are the relative entries returned when I run "mount" to view the mounted drives:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1001,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
Note that the uid listed on the vfat mount is 1001, which is the gid for the "joe" account.
I know there must be a configuration setting somewhere that will allow the ext3 partition to automount under the "joe" user account. I suppose that using the admin account to change the permissions would be the easy way to do this, but there must be something that would do it automagically. I've ripped through all the config files I can find, but can't seem to find anything that would help.
All I'm looking for here is enough access to be able to copy the directories on that mount to my external drive.
I would like to install fedora onto a memory card 16Gb kingstone SDHC that I use in a ACER aspire one
I followed the instruction on the website and I found the following problem:
The wireless and Ethernet hardware where either not found or, if they were found, they did't work and there were no possibilities to make it work.
The strange thing is that almost every time after I attempted to boot form the memory when booting window as usual, the Ethernet hardware was not found anymore also under window!
My SD card is recognised by OS 11.3 if it is inserted at boot up. If I remove it and reinsert it, the devise monitor states 'no devices plugged in'. This is a problem that I have also had (and reported in these forums) with 11.0, 11.1, 11.2.Now I notice that there is a section for 'removable devices' in the system configuration. But even if I click the box 'enable automatic mounting of removable media' and the sub-box 'automatically mount removable media when attached' the SD card is not remounted, there remain 'no devices plugged in'.

I have a single board computer previously running DOS. I recently made Linux running on it. Now that the system is running Linux, I have to translate the code that was supported by DOS. The code has segments that allow direct access of memory mapped registers through the macro _MK_FP and do read/write. I have read that where DOS allows this kind of direct memory access, Linux does not. Is there a way to do this in Linux?
