Nov 1, 2010I'm trying to get away from FAT and FAT32 for my memory sticks. Is ext2 really a suitable option for usb memory sticks?
I don't want to use ext4 because of journaling, as it's simply not required for usb sticks.
Ubuntu :: Cannot Write To USB Sticks And SD Cards?
May 27, 2011I am running a dual boot system Ubuntu 10.04 (32 bit) and Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) on a Dell Inspiron 540s. I currently have an 8 GB USB stick inserted in a 4 port USB hub. I can read files on the device but I cannot write to any of the files. Using the ls and chmod commands I get the following outputs. Note that after assigning rwxr to all users nothing changes. Incidentally, since I could not write to the stick I created a text file in windows and saved it to the USB stick as a text file.
ubuntu:~$ ls -l /media/usb/file3.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6 2011-05-27 15:17 /media/usb/file3.txt

I continuously receive the statement only root has the priviledge of writing etc. to the files on the USB stick. I have the same problem when I insert a card reader with an SD card. It is recognized but I do not have write priviledges.
Hardware :: Booting From CDs And USB Sticks
Jun 14, 2010When first a regular HDD boots up, the BIOS passes control over to the first 512 bytes of the disk, so long as the disk has the magic number (correct signature) at the end of this first sector. The BIOS doesn't 'care' what is in this first sector; it just passes control over to the code within it and hopefully boot-up is underway. Other boot instructions may commonly lay elsewhere on the disk, which is fine, since the boot sector code will point to them and the process goes on.
Now, what happens when you boot from a CD or a USB stick? Not quite the same thing happens, does it? What I need to know is, when booting from alternative media, what is the BIOS 'looking for' and whereabouts on these new media does it expect to find the boot code? I've looked at the directory structures of CDs and sticks and there doesn't seem to be any common factor in the files and directories there that I can identify, unlike when I examine a regular HDD and its partitions with a hex editor.

Ubuntu :: Using Gparted Partitioning Editor To Clone USB Sticks
Dec 13, 2010I now have an install of Ubuntu 10.10 on a USB drive and would like to clone the result onto another USB drive of the same size. Both USB drives are 4Gb. I've used Gparted Partitioning Editor and have copied from the master USB stick to another USB stick. Looking from within the editor they look the same in terms of configuration after the copying process e.g same filesystem boot flag set.
When I try to boot off the copied USB stick it comes up with a 'no operating system' message at boot. Is this the right tool to use to clone USB sticks or is there another option?
Slackware :: Image From Firefox 'sticks To X'

Jan 15, 2010I have tried to write my files to 2 (2GB each) USB sticks and both turned into a Read-Only-File-System. Then I tried with my Memory Stick Duo and it also turned into that. So I give my last try with my SanDisk HC Memory Card (from photo camera) and resulted the same. I can copy the files of those portable storages into my HDD fine but not write into them or delete any files inside those portable storages.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video Window Sticks To Foreground While Playing
Jun 14, 2011Whenever I'm playing a video and bring another application to the foreground, the video window appears over the foreground application:
I'm running Natty Narwhal 64-bit. This didn't happen back in Maverick. The hardware is an Asus K42JR laptop. If there's any more detailed information that I can provide to help narrow this problem down, please let me know.
I've found a similar issue on the forums, but it seems a bit different. This guy also has foreground window problems, but in his case they occur with non-video applications and are not consistent (it only happens 10% of the time).
With me, it always occurs with only video playback. The choice of video application for playback does not appear to matter (I've tried Totem, VLC). Strangely, the problem doesn't occur when viewing flash videos from within Chrome.
Debian :: Camera And Usb Sticks Need Root Permissions?
Jul 10, 2010How does one train a digital camera and USB stick to accept user access? Basically, this involves transferring photos from my camera to my machine, sorting and then moving favourites to the USB stick. Or moving selections that others have sent me to the USB stick. I am constantly changing ownership and permissions and it's driving me nuts. How can I send anything to a USB stick as a user?
View 10 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Synchronize Home Directory With USB Sticks?
Nov 17, 2009I used to use Unison to synchronize files between various Unix/Linux computers. I've an USB stick onto which i put files I've to keep with me (when I work outside home). When I get back home I'll like to synchronize with my laptop running Fedora 11. If the file is on the usb stick no problem, it gets copied onto my home directory and everything is fine.
But if the file has to go onto the stick, Unison complains it can't set the file's permission (of course, on a Vfat file system) and refuse to copy it. Question : Do you know a way to avoid setting irrelevant permissions on a file with Unison or an other utility of this kind ?

Apr 10, 2011To start with I know this is not a linux problem, it is purely hardware.After the computer has been on for a while and then restarted bios does not detect in POST the usb sticks that it is supposed to use to boot from. his is obviously a problem as bios can't use something it can't see to boot from.I'm wanting to know if anyone else has had a problem like this with my hardware? I suspect it is the Asus M4A78LT-M LE that has a usb detection problem, since I've tried plugging the same sticks in to another pc and they do not have the same issue on that pc.

Fedora Hardware :: F13 Cannot Recognize Newly Increased RAM Sticks
Nov 23, 2010I installed F13 on a few ACER desktops with 4 GB ram. Recently I tried to upgrade the RAM to 8 GB. But after I plugged in the extra two 2GB ram sticks inside, the system still feels 4 GB. I had double checked with ACER and confirmed that 8 GB is supported by the motherboard. Is there any shortcuts to let the system recognize all the 8GB ram rather than reinstall the whole system.
View 13 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE Hardware :: PolicyKit: Only One User Can Mount USB Sticks
Jan 31, 2011Looks like its some sort of PolicyKit issue. Documentation (and I suspect the system itself) all assume that I have only one user. But my computer is a two-seat, my girlfriend and I are logged in at the same time. Only I am able to mount and write to USB drives. I suspect its because my account is always logged in first.
Dolphin gives the following error: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy
blah blah org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable auth_admin_keep_always
So my guess is that this "auth_admin" for some reason only refers to my user. I opened up the "Global Configuration" application (something that typed up when I filtered for 'policy' in the application launcher), and added my user, my girlfriends user and the 'user' group as "System Administrators". I logged out and logged back in on her account and this did nothing.
Red Hat :: RHE WS 5 USB Sticks - Check The Ability To Automount CDs At Various Stages Of Setup Process
Oct 4, 2010We've just set up 3 Dell systems with 64 bit Red Hat Enterprise Workstation 5. As part of our system configuration we point the user authentication to our LDAP server, and automount people's home directories from our fileserver. At this point, our security people do some configuration and we get it back.
We are typically running KDE. On all three machines, when you plug a USB stick into the system, the familiar window pops up asking you what you want to do - open the contents in some program, open a file viewer, etc. and the stick shows up in /media When you stick a CD or DVD into the drive nothing happens - you don't get the options window and nothing appears in /media I'm trying to get an idea of how the automount process works, and where I may have stepped on it. We've got three more identical machines that haven't been installed yet, so my plan is to check the ability to automount CDs at various stages of our setup process.

Nov 10, 2009A custom image of Fedora 6 was built on a USB stick of size 2GB.
The size of the image is 546MB and i need to build the image on a 1 GB USB stick.
-The partition on the disk is bootable and I have a grub bootloader
- BIOS is configured to boot from the USB stick.
The same set of files are copied to the 2GB usb sticks and the 1GB usb sticks.
The system boots out of the 2GB Usb disk but does not boot from the 1GB usb sticks.
I am not sure if this issue is related to the usb stick, which i dont think so. I tried it on a different USB stick of size 1GB and it does not work as well.

Ubuntu Installation :: Difference Between The Ubuntu Installer For Windows And The Ubuntu CD Image?
Jan 2, 2010What is the difference between the Ubuntu Installer for windows and the Ubuntu CD image?

Just curious, the exact details of the installation files were not made clear on the website. Note: Windows Version: XP, 32bit, SP3. I have not partitioned anything yet.

Ubuntu Installation :: New Ubuntu User Can't Load Ubuntu Or Windows
Oct 7, 2010I'm currently running off of my live-cd, and after spending 4 hours of my life trying to fix this myself, i figured someone out here has to know how to help me. Basically, i wanted to try linux, then liked it enough to decide to put on one of my usb-drives (320g adata nobility NH92), and i couldn't get it to boot anything but windows w/o the live-cd, which would then boot the live-cd, lol, in other words, i couldn't get it to boot at all from the external, even though i had changed the setting in my bios to boot from usb first, and tried manually selecting boot from usb and all that fun stuff.
Sooo... eventually i decided it might be a problem with the bootloader, and while i'm not exactly sure at this point what i have done to my computer, all i can successfully boot is the live cd. When I try to boot w/o the live cd, whether i try to boot from my internal (windows) drive, or external, all i get is a device not found error.I think i could fix it if i had windows recovery cd's (i'm running xp, btw), or installation cds, but... unfortunately, they died in a terrible accident. So i have no cd's at all for windows. :/
