General :: Unable To Use HDD - How To Fix It
Feb 3, 2010
My hard disk had a failure. This is ubuntu 9.10 system encrypted at install with alternate CD (debian installer).
Quote:
ubuntu@ubuntu:/var/log$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 400.1 GB, 400088457216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders

There are bad blocks on drive now

I boot up with Live CD and tried to mount this corrupted volume to rescue some data. I can unlock it:
Quote:
root@pajonk:~# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 crypt1
Enter LUKS passphrase:
key slot 0 unlocked.
Command successful.
and this creates "/dev/mapper/pajonk-root" device, but i cannot mount it due to read failures:
Quote:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/pajonk-root /volume
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Feb 3 14:48:04 ubuntu kernel: [ 4617.229317] ata1.01: BMDMA stat 0x65

Is there any chance to read data from this device. There are only 110 badblocks so most of my data should be fine.

I couldn't connect my Micromax 300G modem in Debian Linux. From internet (in Windows Vista), I came across the information of USB_ModeSwitch and then I downloaded it. While going to install it, I came across the problem that TCL-interpreter is not available in Debian Linux. Then again I restarted my laptop in Windows Vista and connected my Micromax modem and from internet downloaded TCL8.5.10-src.tar.gz. But while going to install it, I came across the problem that " configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH " . Also as presently, I am unable to connect my modem therefore I am unable to issue the code:" apt-get update ".

I am trying to use gcc. I need to compile a C prog. But I am unable to do. I have done this:
Code:
sujit@sujit-desktop:~$ gcc -Wall test.c
gcc: test.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
sujit@sujit-desktop:~$
But I think I am making some mistakes in specifying path.

I've just installed Arch linux over my old distro and I've just discovered that Flash has been discontinued for my x64 machine. Is anyone managing to live reasonably without it? I'm only really wanting it to play media of ....., bbc iplayer, and assorted other video sites. Arch recommended installing FlashBlock for my chromium browser so I can download flash content, but all these sites detect that I don't have flash and take me to a warning page.

I am trying to build a rpm that basically changes the root password on a system. Here is what my spec file looks like:
Summary: Update the root password
Name: update_passwd
Version: 1.0
Release: 1
[code]....
However, when I run a "rpmbuild -ba specfile", I only get a *src.rpm under /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS, but no rpm file. I have never created a rpm and was wondering if there is something I am missing in my spec file?

This is on a customized Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD. I have a directory which the default user "ubuntu" owns, and the permissions on the directory is 777. I'm unable to cd into the directory as ubuntu user. However as root user I'm able to access it. What could be the reason? I'm able to view the directory in nautilus.Note: I originally copied the folder over from an NTFS disk.

I keep getting an error when trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on Windows 7. I insert the cd and then restart the computer. Everything looks like its loading great, but it gets stuck on the loading screen. So I pressed Esc, and it shows the following errors:
(process: 314): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_(r): failed due to unknown user id (0)
/init: line 7: can't open /dev/sdb: No medium found
/init: line 7: can't open /dev/sdb: No medium found
/init: line 7: can't open /dev/sdb: No medium found

I have also tried the check disc for defects options, but that also gets stuck on the loading screen. What am I missing?

I have Ubuntu installed on my laptop. cfdisk shows 150GB hard disk which is correct. Baobab shows 56GB only. Also, wherever I try to download something using Transmission torrent client it complains that disk space is not sufficient. There is nothing on my disk except a few movies. Where is all the space?

I wanted to install adobe reader on my ubuntu 10.10(Maverick Meerkat).I have downloaded the file and copied it on my desktop.I had then browsed to the desktop directory through command line terminal.
I had tried all the possible combinations of the commands but still i get a "file or directory does not exist error"
roger@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ chmod a+x AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin
roger@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo ./AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin
sudo: unable to execute ./AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin: No such file or directory

roger@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ./AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin

The file is present in the desktop.

Basically this morning, I decided to format my Win7 as it was getting really slow and I did so with no problems. I also have a Linux Mint OS on dual boot. Since I was springcleaning my windows partition, I decided it was a good idea to do the same to my linux partition.
I downloaded the latest version of Linux Mint (Julia) and burned the LiveCD. Now here is where the problem lies, when I restarted Windows and chose to boot from the LiveCD, it didn't work. No joke. There was just a little underscore blinking for a long time before it went back to GRUB which prompted me to select an OS to boot.
However, when I went into my old Linux Mint OS and restarted the machine, the LiveCD worked... to a certain extent. It would load and look as though it was ready to install Linux Mint 10 but the moment it got to the option screen, the whole screen turned into a checkered and jumbled mess.
At this point I thought it was the LiveCD or the .iso file. I had an Ubuntu LiveUSB for recovery purposes and I tried that. The exact same thing happened. Can't boot the LiveUSB if I restarted from Windows, but works when I reboot from Linux. BUT still the same checkered screen that doesnt respond.
Did a bit of googling and reckoned it might be something wrong with my GRUB. Did some updating and didnt make a difference.
Then I tried the Super Grub Disk and STUPIDLY uninstalled GRUB. (Note that booting to SGD had the exact same problem - can't be done if I rebooted from Windows). Now I can't access my Linux Mint 9 cos the the bootup screen (mbr) only has Windows 7 as an option.
Remember me mentioning that I can't boot from any CD/USB/recovery CD when I reboot from Windows? And now that I can't access Linux, there's no way for me to do any form of recovery!
I've tried using the command prompt utility at startup recovery but to no avail.

I need to extract a tarball but unfortunately this error occurred when I tried it
# tar zxvf toolchain.tar.gz
tar: Skipping to next header
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1

Is there a way that I can recover or extract the tarball? I tried to gunzip first but to no avail as well.

My first post and only my second day using Linux (Ubuntu 10.10), so please be gentle with me. lol. Bit of back ground to my problem. I have a Netgear Stora that has just died, but realy need the info off the drive inside. Support have told me that the drive can be read on Linux, so here I am. Right. Places-Computer shows drive as "array". System-Administrator-Disk utility gives me everything blank apart from State : not running, not enough componets to start. Now there is a button under this "Start Array". Can I simply just click this or is there more to it than that as I don't want to lose anything on the drive.

I work for a food manufacturing company in Sheffield and we have a machine called a duck injector which operates off a Human Machine Interface Touch Screen. The program inside this has been written and runs using Linux. This is stored on a Compact Flash Card.
This screen has been damaged and isn't made anymore so we've been sent a new screen which is a 12'1" Intel Atom N270 HMI.
I simply tried to put the Flash Card in the port and powered it up (booting from a removable source) and i get the following:
I've had absolutely zero experience with Linux so i'm completely stuck as to what to do to get it to work.
I've got a flash card with XP on it so i can boot up in that but then it won't read the flash card with the program on because it's in Linux (presumably?)
I've also tried downloading Mubuntu 10.10 and booted it up using that on a flashdrive - this allows me to read the flash card with the program but i can't get it to boot up/run.

I just bought the Barnes & Noble Nook eReader for my wife's birthday and a requirement is to log on to the Nook website and establish an account. Using her Fedora 13 64bit desktop and Firefox she repeatedly tried to access the website www.nook.com to create an account, however consistently got the server not found message. Even using the Firefox addon User Agent Switcher and turning off NoScript did not correct this.
When we switched over to the WinXP install and Firefox we were able to access the website no problem. Anyone else unable to access that website via linux?

I re-installed my Windows OS today and wanted to install Linux Mint as a dual boot. Before the reinstall, I used the LiveCD Gparted to expand my C: from 25 to 30 GB. All went smoothly.After the fresh Windows install, I went ahead and installed all the hardware drivers and other programs I need. Now I don't seem to be able to boot from LiveCD successfully.On booting from CD Rom, it goes up until the screen with the Linux Mint logo and stays there (I tried giving it time, waited an hour and nothing).Thinking something was wrong with the CD, I tried booting a USB drive. Used Linux Live USB creator to use the same .iso file to boot from. It seems to 'freeze' at the same point.
Formatted the drive, and installed UNetbootin and used the same .iso file. This time, booted it in compatibility mode. A few commands flashed by (links to pictures below), no idea what it means. I've taken a picture, maybe you can tell me what it means? This is the only lead I have to figure out what went wrong (Even if I don't want Linux installed, booting with Live CD to recover data is invaluable)
Pictures I took of the messages in compatibility mode:
[URL]
P.S: I don't know if this is important but I thought I'd mention it. I was in Gparted (in the LiveCD) when the screen froze. I had to hard boot the laptop again, and I haven't been able to get the LiveCD to work since.
