Today, someone who had problems with his usb flash drive showed it to me. I plugged it in my linux box.
Code:
cat /proc/partitions
only showed
Code:
sdb
and no partition name (sdb1, etc.). So I ran fdisk on it I deleted all the partitions (4 in all) and recreated a single partition taking up the whole drive and marked it as c (win32 vfat) I exited fdisk (w) and formatted the new partition

I removed an ntfs partition I had in my HD and then resized my home partition with gparted to occupy all the available space. The resulting partition is supposed to be 129GB, and gparted/partition magic see that size. But the system does not, and all tools report the old partition size and the same free space I had before resizing.

Here's what I'm confused about When I do 'cat /proc/meminfo' or 'free' or use the system monitor, it reports my swap size as 1262304 KB (i.e. 1.2GB). But if I do a 'fdisk -l', the partition size is reported as 746991 blocks (of 1024 bytes) and if I use the partition editor it says it's 729.48MB. XP disk mgmt shows it as app. 700MB too
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy MP3 Player (Zen:Vision:M) has roughly 60 GB of space and yet Ubuntu insists only 3.6 GB is available. I know this is not true because in Windows the correct amount of room is displayed and can be filled up. Because my music collection is stored in my Linux partition I need to solve this issue if I'm going to actually use my MP3 Player. What is also interesting is the fact that the device doesn't show up in Gparted, System Monitor or fdisk.
When I attempt to look at the Zen's contents through Nautilus I get this message:
Error initializing camera: -1: Unspecified error
And when I update through Banshee every song gives an error of:

I have an OCZ Mini-Kart USB stick which says 2GB on it, and it has been a 2GB stick for the last 3 years. However, I recently put it into a PC running XP (which had no viruses as far as I am aware) and all of the files in the single subdirectory became corrupted and unreadable. All files at the root of the USB stick were fine, and I could still boot from it (I had Puppy linux installed).
I looked to see if the corrupted files in the subdirectory were recoverable, but they were all inaccessible, (with freshly mangled file-names containing multiple copies of the characters '�' and '=' amongst others), and reporting file sizes of up to 1.9GB each. I examined the memory stick with fdisk and with Gparted, and saw that it was reporting two 2GB partitions, which was certainly not the case before, as I had recreated the partition table several times in the past.
I removed all partitions, created a new partition table and recreated a single partition, which is now 4GB in size. I have trashed it and recreated it three times, formatting it with ext3, ext2 and finally FAT32, all of which reported a partition size of 4GB. I currently have a 4GB FAT 32 partition, and have tested it by successfully copying a 3GB .iso file to it.
Although it's nice to have a 4GB memory stick, it does seem rather odd and I no longer trust it with my data.
I am using the Gnome desktop in Lenny 5.03The default Gedit paper size is "US Letter", which is almost right for my HP Laserjet 4L, except that about .5 inch at the top and .25 inch at the left margin are cut off.I have defined a "Custom Size" under File -> Page Setup -> Manage Custom Sizes... with margin settings that solve the problem, but this "Custom Size" only remains the default Paper Size for printing until Gedit is closed.Using what appears to be the same gnome dialog from epiphany and evolution, the Papersize settings stick, but not from Gedit. I cannot locate any configuration file to edit, and nothing in the gconf editor seems to apply.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running CPU tests on a radio controller to determine max simultanious calls. A tool using top was developed so that we could get a good look at what exactly was happening on the process level, however we are mainly interested in one object running on the box.The box has a single core Celeron processsor running the Wind River Linux platform. The CPU usage from my object is frequently spiking over 100%. Doing some research online so far has led me to the fact that a multicore processor can do this however I have found no mention of a single core processor displaying this behavior.

PS. Similar issue is described in [URL]..But mine is slightly different.
I need to install a package. For that I need root access. However the system says that I am not in sudoers file. When trying to edit one, it complains alike! How I am supposed to add myself to the sudoers file if I don't have the right to edit one? I have installed this system and only administrator. What can I do?
Edit: I have tried visudo already. It requires me to be in sudoers in the first place.

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

I installed Fedora 15 twice last night because I thought I had screwed up the installation somehow when I ran a df -h and found that it reported all my LVM partitions twice (/, /home, and /var) and it also showed /var/tmp mounted on the same logical volume that /var was mounted on (lv02 = /var AND lv02=/var/tmp). I've never seen this before and it definitely didn't appear like this in Fedora 14. Is this something new to Fedora 15?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was struggling to find the information so I thought it would be easier to ask here. What does the load average as reported by top mean ? To me those are 3 mysterious values, which most likely refer to some average CPU usage and this is all I know about it (not sure if it's true).What is the maximum value for this parameter (I guess the minimum is 0.00) and what does it mean ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI inherited a centos 5.2 server at my work. I didn't know anything about it when I got it except that the fate of the organization rested on my ability to manage it. I've gotten along fine with it. I don't really like it, but it mostly works. I learned a lot in the process. Anyway, I went bought some more ram for the box because, hey, it's a server and it will serve faster with more RAM. So it had 3x512mb and I took out one of the 512mb and put in 2x1gb (it's only got four slots). I rebooted and and top reports 1585152k of ram. It should be 3gb. So I haul out a monitor and keyboard because I want to see if the BIOS sees more. Sure enough, on boot I arrive at a grub/centos boot screen and it says somewhere that I have 3gb, I boot and top still reports 1585152k.
How do I make this computer realize it has more RAM?
incoming connections are not being reported to my /var/log/secure. I can't see if people are trying to connect. I can't troubleshoot because I can't do anything.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've ran "powertop" on my computer and it showed horrible amount of wake-ups per second:
Code:

C0 (cpu running) (26.7%) 2.81 Ghz 100.0%

Wakeups-from-idle per second : 63944.8 interval: 5.0s

Top causes for wakeups:
45.1% ( 15.6) <interrupt> : pata_atiixp
26.0% ( 9.0) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start_range_ns (tick_sched_timer)

1.7% ( 0.6) Xorg : queue_delayed_work (delayed_work_timer_fn)
Suggestion: increase the VM dirty writeback time from 5.00 to 15 seconds with:
Echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
This wakes the disk up less frequently for background VM activity
Q - Quit R - Refresh W - Increase Writeback time
If I wait it decreases to 50000, but it is still huge!
Situation is duplicated after complete F12 re-install. All defaults are used and no changes performed after install. Just checked again and let computer run idle for a while. Powertop reports 79604 wake-up per second, even more than before. Again, the top cause is "pata_atiixp". Also, performing suggestions of powertop shown at the bottom of the program does not help either. That decreases wake-up by a few hundreds only. Wake-ups are still well over 50000.
I'm doing an distro upgrade from 11.2 to 11.3 and for the DVD drive, the repo URL comes up as dvd:/// in ast and zypper. However medium not read is being reported, forcing me to find out exactly what "dvd:///" is pointing to.
My DVD drive is certainly readable and mountable and sits at /dev/dvd (symlink for /dev/sr0). I usually mount it manually, but the problem here is I don't know how to find out what "dvd:///" represents.
Currently I am running Ubuntu on my laptop however my desktop is still XP pro. I want to move from XP to a Linux (Ubuntu) or Unix distro (BSD). My desktop is used as my ftp server, music/network storage, and for syncing my iPod with iTunes. The only thing that is keeping me from totally reinstalling the OS on that computer is iTunes. I know there are tons of applications out there that will sync your music to your iPod however I want to still be able to use itunesu and some other features in iTunes. My plan is to run a *nix os but have xp running in virtual box for iTunes. Has anyone else done this and if you have is it a huge pain? Is there a better way to go about what I'm trying to do? I have tried to get the newer iTunes installers to work with wine but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I get errors and the errors are reported bugs on winehq.

On my dell inspiron laptop if I use a live cd to boot into Ubuntu and then reboot into Windows the computer freezes up within 5 minutes. I uninstalled everything that I had put onto my computer since I purchased it (less than a week ago) in desperate measures because I was ready to take it back and play stupid to get a replacement. Once I went on an uninstalling frenzy my problem was fixed, but I had to know if it was from a program I installed or the live cd I used so I tried it again and sure enough, within 5 minutes my computer was unresponsive. I was using usb flash drives for my live cd and this was on a different flash drive than the first. Just thought it should be known, and I'm not doing it again once I fix my less than a week old computer from this again.
