Ubuntu :: Backup Desktop On A Flash Drive?

Oct 12, 2010

So I finally got my own flash drive(I know, I'm late) and I really don't know what to do with it except store my files and OS's.

I heard that it's possible to boot up my desktop of Ubuntu with a flash drive. If so, how?

General :: Partition - Or Dolphin - KDE - Won't Allow Writing To Drive - KDE

May 17, 2011

I am using a new install of Kubuntu 10.04 LTS. My system is a 64-bit AMD desktop.

I use a small partition for my entire Kubuntu install, and use separate, larger partitions for my media and work files.

I opened up Dolphin (my KDE file manager) via GUI, navigated to my media partition, and attempted to create a new folder by
right-click->
Create New->
New Folder-> etc

The Create New in the menu is ghosted out, as if I have no permission to access it.

How can I write files to the drive?

Ubuntu :: Writing To Flash Card?

Jan 24, 2011

I have a flash card that has been corrupted and have obtained a working .img file. I was told that I could not just drag and drop the .img to the card and that it needs to be written bit by bit to the new card. I am unfamiliar with the Linux terminal and would like to know what command or a how to get the .img file written to it. The .img file is now residing on the desktop.

Hardware :: 'dd' Command Writing To Usb Pen Drive At Only 2.5mb/s?

May 12, 2011

I was just wondering is 2.5mb a second normal to write to a usb2 pendrive with the 'dd' command?

I know dd maybe having an influence on writing time, but it still seems really low for usb2 transfer?

Is there a command to measure the time a file takes to transfer from HD to usb pen? (not using dd).

General :: Could Use Help Trying To Recover Files From Possibly Hosed Partition

Jun 25, 2010

I've been using Linux for a few years and have managed to find what I need searching (including this great site) until now. I have managed to mess up a substantial partition and don't want to possibly make a bad situation worse by bungling around an area I know next to nothing about. I'll try to explain it fully.I finally built a new PC (750GB internal HDD, 4GB RAM). I'm used to Kubuntu so I installed that (10.04 x86_64bit); partitioned sda1 1GB swap / sda2 OS 20GB ext4 / balance sda3 home ext4 for time being. Everything runs sweet. My old PC (very, PIII, but more recent 500GB internal HDD) partitioned sda1 486.31MB swap / sda2 OS 22.82GB ext4 / balance (442.46GB) sda3 home ext3 (ext3 because /home was inherited from an earlier install prior to Kubuntu going ext4). Old PC was having PSU prob. I don't have an external HDD or any other large HDD and not enough DVDRs for 280GB or so of data current in /home. So I backed up what I could risking the old PC working long enough. Got the critical stuff, business etc. There remained some 150GB or so, years of pictures, videos, info on car repairs etc (some but by no means all on semi annual DVDR backups). Free space current in new PC's /home partition ~500GB. So I took out the HDD from the old PC and put it in the new in order to copy the remainder then use it in the new PC; made sure BIOS of new PC indicated this 2nd drive did not have boot priority. The correct install booted.

To my surprise (maybe not yours?) during boot with zero indication, Kubuntu decided to use the 2nd HDD's /home partition for its new 442.46GB swap partition instead! I was horrified. I unmounted it immediately but... according to GParted the partition with all those files to copy is now:/dev/sbd3 File System: unknown 442.46GB Used: --- Unused: --- no flags

I was surprised by kubuntu changing its partitions without input and assuming a ext3 file system on a secondary HD for a 442.46GB swap partition. But, mistake's on me. Call it a lesson. Now I need to know more but don't want to experiment unduly on this drive and possibly make things worse: What should I do next?

General :: Filesystem Corruption Possibly Caused By Bad Blocks

Nov 5, 2010

I'm trying to RMA a month old SSD, and they're giving me a hassle about it. The drive currently seems to work just fine, but I'm 95% sure that a few blocks went bad and corrupted some data about a week ago. I was able to mostly recover the data and correct for the bad blocks, but I don't really trust the drive anymore.

I'm running an up to date Debian Squeeze install with ext4 on this drive. My system started doing some bizarre things, to the point that it was unusable, so I rebooted it. As it was booting up, it complained about needing an fsck, which found dozens of non-trivial errors that it was mostly able to fix. It then proceeded to boot normally, except the drive mounted itself as read only (due to errors). Another fsck turned up a similar number of problems. This happened a couple of times before I ran fsck with '-c', which is supposed to scan for and work around bad blocks. That seemed to fix the problem, it hasn't given any more problems since then.

The manufacturer is refusing to RMA the drive unless it's completely unmountable right now this minute, saying that it was a one time problem that could have been caused by anything. Am I right in thinking that the problem has to have been with the drive if 'fsck -c' fixed it, or could something else be going on? If it was the drive, am I somehow being unreasonable in asking for a new one while the current one is "working"?

Debian :: Run Rsync Without Writing To The Boot Drive?

Mar 8, 2011

I am running Debian squeeze on a Seagate Dockstar. It boots Debian from a USB flash drive, and has two 1 TB usb hard disks hooked to it. The machine is used for only rtorrent and nfs. The flash drive contains only the system software and rtorrent. All of the data that rtorrent moves around is on the usb hard disks, including downloaded data, watch folder, and session folder. About once a day I run rsync with the source being usb_1 and the target being usb_2: # time rsync --progress --stats -a --delete /media/usb_1/ /media/usb_2 Since this machine boots from a usb flash drive, I'm interested in keeping the number of writes to the flash drive to a minimum. The machine used to boot from an Adata flash drive, which has no LED. That drive wore out after about five months. Completely dead, as in gparted would fail with an I/O error on write when trying to write a new partition table to it. No big deal - I restored the software to a new flash drive using an image I had made in Clonezilla.

The new drive (a Sandisk Cruzer 4 GB) has an LED and I assume this is showing me when the drive is being accessed, read and write. When the system is at idle, the LED sort of "breathes" off and on slowly. When rtorrent is downloading or uploading, it flashes a few times and goes back to breathing.

I'm assuming that once everything has been loaded and the system has been running a while that when the LED flashes, that means that data is being written to the flash drive. (Is this a good assumption?) With just rtorrent running, there's not much flashing, maybe 10 - 20 times/minute. However when rsync is running, the LED just flashes on and off like crazy. The daily rsync run takes anywhere from three to 30 minutes, depending on how much new data was downloaded each day. But no matter how long it takes, the LED just flashes like crazy the whole time.

I'm assuming this means that all the new data from the source drive is being written temporarily to the flash drive or something like that, and this is wearing the flash drive out prematurely. Does this sound likely? If so, is there a way to get rsync not to do this and to do its thing in RAM only and not write to the boot flash drive?

Debian :: DVD Drive / Packet Writing / Squeeze

Jul 25, 2011

for the last three days, I have been trying to get my drive ( LiteOn iHas624 ) to work. Unfortunatly, it seems that I can only use the burner with Nero4Linux or Brasero, but not K3B.DVD-RAM/+RW packet writing seems neither to work out of the box, nor by the setup as suggested in /usr/share/doc/udftools/README.Debian or the media4linux howto(just to name the most promising, i definitly read more on the issue).

I tried to format the DVDs in various udf revisions, as well as ext2 just to check, but without success.As I am close to the point where I would rule out the possibility to obtain package writing capability, I dare to ask for help.I would be very grateful for any hint or reading recommendation on the issue.
Yours, Benjamin.

General :: Boot From A USB Flash Drive With MBP?

Jun 25, 2010

I have been playing around with a Ubunto 10.04 live cd (32bit) on my mac. I want to be able to boot this OS (or similar) on my Mac, and on any other computer (PC or Mac). I also want it to remember changes and files. From looking around this is possible from a USB (with a Casper RW loop file I think). I have used the Live CD to create a bootable flash drive, which works on PC's but not my mac. Using these instructions: [URL] I was able to get my Mac to see the Linux at boot but once I clicked the Tux icon it would hang/ freeze. I let it sit for 10+ min and nothing happened. I started over (with a fresh formatting) and got the same results. I have reformatted the flash drive and am ready to try over. I think that I am goofing up in terminal steps as I am not use to doing that. After the last step in the terminal I get an error, something like invalid number or similar, it is not the one mentioned in the instructions.

I know that this for advanced users, I am not yet but working that way. I an a (retired) power windows user, moderate Mac user and a new Linux user. I want to learn which is why I am asking. I am not in a spot to install Linux directly on my Mac, so I I am seeking help to do it on a flash drive. I want the ability to run off any computer and I see this as I way to get there.

General :: Inserting A USB Flash Drive?

Jun 5, 2011

What command is executed when you plug in a USB Flash drive manually in the PC's USB port?I am pluggin in the device and it is automatically getting mounted in /media/ed7a753f-df88-4984-b65a-5d3a8cc2714a. After I unmount the device using umount /media/ed7a753f-df88-4984-b65a-5d3a8cc2714a, how do I remount it from the terminal so that the weird directory gets created automatically and the Flash Drive gets mounted there?Another question, where does the system get this ed7a753f-df88-4984-b65a-5d3a8cc2714a. Is it some kind of identification of the disk?

General :: USB Flash Drive Boot?

Jul 19, 2010

I have a 2GB usb flash drive and I wanted to boot a linux distro from it. My dilemma is that I'm having a hard time balancing size with quality.I've been going the virtual route so far in my linux studies but the variety with hardware is so limited. If I had a bigger flash drive it wouldn't be a concern but I need to make do with what I have.So what's a good learning distro that has good features but can be installed onto a 2GB flash drive? I'm sure there is more than one but I'd like to get some different input from more seasoned users.

General :: Ubuntu - Wipe A Flash Drive From?

Jul 24, 2010

I recently used a flash drive to try MeeGo on my netbook. Unfortunately, the application I used to write MeeGo to the flash drive created a new partition in a rather unusual format. The Ubuntu disk utility can't delete the partition, and GParted can't even see it. How can I completely wipe the flash drive from Ubuntu? I'd prefer not to install any additional software.

General :: Getting More R/w Speed From A Flash Drive Install?

Aug 19, 2010

System: Linux flashvoyager 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 07:54:58 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04 Installed onto 64gig Flash Voyager GTR plugged into Tosh satpro laptop dual core 4 gig memory. This is not a casper r/w persistent install version. This is installed directly onto the flash pen and running as if the flash drive was a solid state disc.

I have obtained a 64gig which can read at 34mb/s and write at 28mb/s. The reason I wanted this was so I could install linux ubuntu and run the OS straight of the flash as if it was a Solid state disc. I have tried using the pendrivelinux method where the persistent data is stored inside a virtual file system but I found it did not allow grub or kernel updates without the need to rebuild the entire datapen plus I did not know how to get rid of the live boot menu where it asks for language and the like.

I boot the pen straight into linux ubuntu 10.04 via the bios boot menu and select the usb pen drive. Once into grub I select the most recent kernel and then load up ubuntu. When I first started using the distro from the pen the speed of the web browsing was so slow. I have since configured the browser to store the cache inside tmpfs /media/ramdisk and browsing seems fine now however there is underlying speed issue with using the method of install. Uncompressing installs takes an age. I have configured fstab like so:

#System
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sdb1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

[code]....

PS: I am not allowed to use the HDD on the laptop since it is company laptop. My previous company laptop had Kubuntu 8.04 with XP as VM. Also having the install on the flash drive would give me the convenience of booting the pen from any hardware.

General :: Removing Grub From MBR Of Flash Drive

Nov 29, 2009

I have a flash drive that I used on my old netbook to temporally hold a copy of ubuntu as the netbooks internal drive was dead. I have since got a new netbook and wanted to return the flash drive to simple removable storage. I've re-partitioned it back to 14gb fat32 2gb ext2 and everything is working fine. Except that if I try to boot with the key inserted grub loads then errors imminently (sort of obvious if grub is still in the MBR but there is no menu.lst file anymore...) Googling for removal of GRUB just gives me loads of hits for how to restore windows mbrs when you dont want to keep linux anymore. None of these methods seem to have any targeting. I need to remove grub from sdb while keeping it intact in sda. sdb shouldn't even be bootable, so that when boot from usb is higher in the bios than boot from hdd the usb key is ignored and the hdd is booted as normal.
