It is not recognising USB photographs, whereas 10.1 (don't ask) did. /proc/partitions shows no change. No usb modules are loaded, and loading usb_storage, usbhid and hid (which works on some other Linuces) doesn't help.
View 9 RepliesI've been having some problems copying files to USBs. If I'm copying a large (100MB+) amount of data, at random points the transfer will just stop for 30+ seconds before continuing. Sometimes it doesn't start up again at all. Consequently, the write speed drops to less than 1MB/sec, sometimes as low as 100 KB/sec. I do not have these problems on Windows 7, where I achieve speeds of ~16 MB/sec easily. I have had the same results with several USBs (2-32 GB) on several file systems (fat32, ext2) with several different computers running fully patched versions of Ubuntu 10.04, which suggests the problem is related to the way the OS accesses the hardware.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I'm running a live disk of ubuntu 11.04 because my windows 7 is totally messed up and wouldn't recognize my external hard drive and I cant back up my documents. I actually really like Linux and wanna keep it, but I have 2 problems. 1, I can't figure out for the life of me how to connect to the Internet. Its not scanning for any wireless networks and only seems to want me to connect via Ethernet. I think the problem is that it doesn't recognize my wireless card/doesn't know it's installed. Is there any way to fix that? I just want to be able to connect to wifi.
Now my second question. I can acess all my files fine, but Linux doesn't seem to register my external hard drive either, nor any other USB device. It just acts like there not plugged in. No error message or Anything. Is the a way to fix that? I fear that there might be some sort of hard ware issue, because in windows seven it doesn't recognize USB devices or my wireless card (among many many other problems) either. Although, I tried An older version of ubuntu on this same computer once and had a similar wireless issue which I was never able to resolve before my 7 was having any wireless issues.

I've installed OpenSUSE 11.2 on my computer. Well, 11.2 is great and all, but issuing ifconfig yields only loopback device. Now, I have OpenSUSE 11.0 installed on my notebook; the system works fine, although I had that very problem initially and had to recompile the kernel in order to make it recognize my notebook's ethernet card. My question is: If I upgrade my notebook's 11.0 up to 11.2, am I sure to have my files intact? Is 11.2 sure to "see" the ethernet card?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having some issues with openSUSE 11.2 recognizing my Broadcom adapter. Following the instructions in the two stickied topics, I can find the adapter both under YaST's Hardware Summary and using the console command /sbin/lspci. I cannot, however, find it with /sbin/lspci -n, and the boot log (viewed with dmesg | less) makes no mention of it either.
Do I need to turn it on or something? This is a dual boot machine, and it works fine under Windows, so I don't think there's a hardware failure at play here.
I run Debian with Gnome on a beat up workhorse ThinkPad. I upgraded to Jessie last week with just one issue. Before the upgrade, I could plug in a USB drive (I use a couple of WD MyPassports most often) and they would mount, read, and write without a hitch.
Since the upgrade, when I plug in a USB drive, the file manager (3.14.1) sees the drive, but when I click on the drive to access/mount it, I receive a dialog box reading: Oops! Something went wrong. Unhandled error message: Error when getting information for file '/media/user/MyPassport1': Input/output error.
If I hit the little “eject” button in the file manager, then mount the drive as root from a command prompt [e.g., mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/external] I can run a directory of the drive, but ls -l /media/external fails. From the command prompt I am unable to perform reads or writes to the drive.
Rebooting into recovery mode (i.e., without Gnome), I get the same behavior with CLI messages reporting I/O errors with the drive. I can run a directory, but ls -l, reads, and writes fail.
This behavior is the same on all three USB ports. It is not limited to these MyPassport devices.
The drives work flawlessly on another headless machine upgraded to Jessie the same day. And on another still running Wheezy.
If I boot the ThinkPad from a live CD (Mint 14, I believe) the USB drives mount, read, and write fine.
My BIOS is up to date, 1.52.

As every time when a new OpenSuse Version arrives, I tried to install 11.4 (I have 11.2 ans 11.3 on separate partitions, + a Windows 7 that already was there when I bought my computer). Previous versions always recognized existing installations and added them to the Grub list, 11.4 doesen't... it merely recognizes the Windows. This is blocking me from testing it before adopting, as I always do, as I don't know how to add these entries manually; I'm too afraid not to be able to add the entries once installed, and not being able to use my older versions in case I have troubles. What went wrong in this release that developers forgot this important part? How I could manually add my entries for 11.2 and 11.3?

i just downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 onto a USB key and am attempting to instsll it next to Windows XP. The Ubuntu install wizard has giot to the point where i have already chosen my language and asked it to install upgrades as well, when i click "Foward" it only displays two options:
1) Erase and use entire disk
2) Specify partition manually
It is supossed to give the option to "Install along side other operating systems". This option is not being shown -si what do i do?
I am trying to install a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, but I am finding it is not recognising my only HDD in the machine. It is working because I am running Windows 7 x64 on it.

The installation knows when my IDE drive is plugged in, but I want to install the boot sector in the WDC drive.
WUBI also fails to install on this current drive, though can setup the boot sector OK.
I have a custom 2.6.30.9 kernel that is not recognizing TEAC dv-w28ec. The install kernel from the Slackware 13 install disk finds it. I am not sure what kernel parameter I am missing or is at fault.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have CentOS 5.2, 32 bit, and a Pentium AE 4 processor. The system came with 2 GB RAM. I added 2 additional GBs of RAM. I realized after booting and seeing only 3.6 GB that I would have to install the kernel-PAE. After doing this, I edited the grub.conf file to make the PAE kernel the default. I verified that the machine is rebooting to the new kernel:uname -a Linux mydomain.org 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 10:02:22 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
So, what else can be wrong that I can't see the entire 4 GB?

Amarok 2.4.3 in fedora kde spin with kde update to 4.6.5 was loading my 120gb ipod classic as a generic usb drive instead of an ipod. This made transferring songs impossible.
To fix it: yum downgrade amarok*

I boot disc from post, goes through the 1st 3 steps, select time zone etc and it wont find my HDD but it will find my USB mem stick when its plugged in.
I will keep fiddling in the bios to make sure that I have everything correct (it works fine when I installed w7 about 2 hours earlier)
I am installing it without dramas on a old P4 1.6GHz s478, 512mb Ram, 40GIG IDE and a old Geforce MX460 GPU and its at 53% so I know that the disc / version is good.
Since I upgraded to Ubuntu Natty, dvdFab has not recognized any DVD I insert into the drive. The program loads through Wine with no problems, and the disk is mounted by Ubuntu, but no dvd drives are recognized by dvdFab. I guess it will be a conflicting setting or something, but I would like to know if there is a solution, because my DVD player is knackered and only accepts DVD5's -not double layers any longer.

I am trying to run Drupal on a RHEL 5.5 box and am told that my PHP version is too old and must be at least 5.2I see that my version is 5.1. I try a yum install php but am find that I have the latest version that RHN provides.I download, configure, and install php 5.3, which appears to install correctly into /usr/local/bin. Drupal still complains about the PHP version.I note that although my $PATH has /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin, 'php -v' gives me 5.1 and 'whereis php' gives me /usr/bin.I try to work around this by copying /usr/local/bin/php to /usr/bin/php. Now 'php -v' gives me 5.3 but Drupal still says that my version is too old.I try to restart httpd but it does not help. Neither does 'yum remove php'.
