Ubuntu :: 10.04.2 LTS Alternate Installer Endless Loop On Disc Label
May 12, 2011I'm trying to install 10.04.2 on a Dell machine with no current OS. I finally found the thread that said to use the alternate installer if you have a RAID: so i'm using ubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso, burned using Roxio on my (different) windows box.
I go through the early installer steps ok, get to partitioning, choose guided resize (potential tangent: first time this modified partitions #6 and #7, second time it was just "use entire disk"). Then "installing base system", then a dialog that says: Please insert the disk labeled "Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - release i386 (20110211.d) in '/cdrom/' and press enterWell, the disk is already in the drive, and the installer has previously claimed it's reading from /cdrom. Reinserting it doesn't change anything. My only choices are <Continue> or <Go Back>, both of which display the same message. So i can't get past this, or escape, or do anything other than power down.
Looking at the disk on my Win machine, it appears to be labeled "Ubuntu 10.04.2 L" (can't tell if that's truncated or not).
Does the installer really demand a certain label on the disc to succeed?? how to successfully install in this situation?
Update: just to be sure, i checked the md5sum, and it's correct.
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 - Forbidden Label Created For USB Flash
May 1, 2010After finally getting Ubuntu 10.04 installed (with a few disasters along the way) I sought to recreate a shell script for backing up critical files that I had been using with 9.04. The destination for the files was /media/disk (with "disk" being the name that I had given to the USB flash drives in the past with 9.04.).
One drive mounted perfectly, and the shell script ran as it normally should. However, two other drives gave "file or directory not found" error messages and no files were copied. One of the drives lists its name as a very forbidding
"/media/5d588180-19eb-4656-8677-b652c4ed0003.
I attempted to re-name it to "disk", using e2label after un-mounting it, but that did not work? If I run the shell script on several different USB flash drives that I alternate, they must all have the same name.
Hardware :: Unable To Label USB Flash Drives (Cannot Initialize)
Apr 10, 2010Using Debian Lenny. I'm trying to label my usb flash drives. I checked on the Internet and found a page, but I can't get it to work: [URL]. I umounted the usb drive. I checked it with
Debian:~# blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="B1CC-3C4F" TYPE="vfat"
But when I try to make a label I get this message:
Debian:~# mlabel -i /dev/sda1 ::VFAT_DOC
Can't open /dev/sda1: No such file or directory
Cannot initialize '::'
mlabel: Cannot initialize drive
If I try mlabel -i /dev/sda1 ::VFAT_DOC when the drive is mounted
I get this output:
Debian:~# mlabel -i /dev/sda1 ::VFAT_DOC
Total number of sectors (7855032) not a multiple of sectors per track (62)!
Add mtools_skip_check=1 to your .mtoolsrc file to skip this test but no label is attached to the drive.
I added this to /etc/mtools.conf:
drive p: file=/dev/sdb1
and ran this command:
mlabel p:VFAT_DOC
and still can't get it to work
Can't open /dev/sda1: No such file or directory
Cannot initialize 'P:'
mlabel: Cannot initialize drive
OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 - Can't Find Grub Without Disc / Boot From Hard Disc
Jan 1, 2011I have just installed 11.3 x64. The installation went fine and worked for the first few hours. I ran the online update tool, and now it cannot find grub unless the installation disc is inserted and I select the "boot from hard disc" option.
I have read about the problem of the root partition being back, but not sure that's it.
sda1 - swap
sda2 - /
sda3 - /home
There used to be a repair tool in the installation disks. I could not find that in this media. Is that still available?

Mar 1, 2010I have a few generic USB sticks lying around, and a few more SD/microSD chips that I use with openSUSE. Is there any way to label/ID them so they mount at unique points in /media, so I don't blast one accidentally? In mkfs.vfat there is a "-n volume-name" that looks promising, but I can't find a way to set that after the mkfs.

Apr 28, 2011I just installed OS 11.4 this morning. Was previously on CentOS. I chose to have it import the partition & raid setup during install. Now when it boots it hangs with
"Could not find /dev/disk/by-label //" "Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by_id/ata-ST(lots of drive stuff) -part2 (Y/n)" If I just hit ENTER at that point the boot will go on and it runs fine, but it stalls every time with that same error on boot. I did quite a bit of searching with Google and here (the search here considers every word in the error message to be too short or too common).
Ubuntu :: Unable Multisessions When Burning Disc Or Import A Disc Which Has A Multisession?
Mar 10, 2010this blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.

Nov 13, 2009I just upgraded my AMD64 Phenom X3 on Asus M3A76-CM mobo from OpenSuSE 11.1 to OpenSuSE 11.2. The upgrade didn't go smooth, but it went through after some glitches. I posted this from the system running OpenSuSE 11.2. The problems I have encountered are the system crashed when I tried to Suspend to RAM and/or Disc. The display just showed the Penguin sideway with the bar went down to about 85%. BTW, why shows a Penguin sideway when the system is suspended to RAM/Disc? If one wants to show a Penguin sleeps, it should be standing and not laid sideway.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE Hardware :: Can't Burn To DVD-R Disc With Plextor PX-716SA?
Apr 14, 2010I am unable to burn to DVD-R media using a Plextor PX-716SA SATA drive. I have tried using K3b, Brasero, and Nero Linux. What happens is that the first 5 to 6 MB (possibly just lead-in) of the data is burned before the burner gives up and remains locked. I cannot remove the disc, the burning software remains frozen (no response after hitting software 'cancel recording' button), and the software process stays "uninterruptible" and thus unable to kill. The only way to remove the disc is by rebooting the PC.
The behavior also occurs if I run a test/simulated mode with the aformentioned software, but nevertheless I've been using Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R media. Successful burns and simulations have occurred with DVD+RW media, CD-R, and CD-RW; I don't have any DVD+R nor DVD-RW discs to test. Burning on DVD-R has worked excellent in Windows Vista with many software programs. The latest Plextor firmware has been installed on the drive, which is version 1.11. I am currently running openSUSE 11.2 with kernel version 2.6.31.13.
To investigate this further, I've tried burning from the command line using the actual programs the front-ends use to obtain specific error messages, including growisofs, cdrecord (wodim), and cdrskin. No succesful burns. For the following tests, the source data has been an ISO image of openSUSE 11.2. Nonetheless, custom data compilations have also failed, along with other DVD images showing similar error messages.
[Code]...
I have searched plenty of forums with no fixes to this problem. There have been several issues posted involving Linux and Plextor drives but these posts are old with old kernel versions. As far as SATA is concerned, this Linux installation is on a 250GB SATA drive that has not exhibited problems of any kind.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: K3B Doesn't Recognize Disc In Drive?
Jul 20, 2010My K3B doesn't seem to recognise a blank CD in the drive tray.
I'm on OS 11.2, K3B & codecs from 11.2 packman, and 11.2 KDE4 factory (ie kde4.4).
When I put a blank cd in, the kde4 device notifier shows me a blank cd and offers to create a project with k3b. I create a data project & click burn, the burn dialog has a greyed out Burn button, and the media selector dropdown says please insert an empty or appendable medium.
If I eject & re-insert the disc at this point, the device notifier again tells me I've inserted a blank cd, k3b's dialog freezes for a second (seems to notice something has happened) but still does not list my cd and remains as it was before.
k3bsetup reports no problems. Burning from commandline (cdrecord) works fine. Dolphin also knows about the blank cd. I've burned to these discs before with no problems (K3B used to work quite recently, perhaps 4 or 5 weeks ago). Updates have been applied in the meantime.

Jun 21, 2011I am new to Linux and I'm trying to install OpenSuse on my machine:

ATI Radeon Xpress 200
512.0 MB DDR SDRAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Shared video memory (UMA)
DVD-RW 16X TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B drive
Western Digital WD3200AAJB 320GB Hard Drive
I downloaded the ISO for version 11.4-i586 DVD size from DirectLink on opensuse.org. I checked the Windows MD5CHECKSUM and verifyied it. The installation goes fine until it begins installing packages when it prompts:
"Insert Disc 1"
Which I believe is the Disc that I burned already with the ISO file and is in the DVD-ROM drive that it's asking for. This happens for several files, and prompt me to either
retry/skip/abort/cancel
If I click Retry I get "media1.media not found" or a similar message. If I click Abort/Skip/Cancel the installation stops and takes me to a text version of the installation which then stops and says that it can not find the Installation Package either.
I have looked for reasons behind this but all I could find was possibly Mounting the DVD-ROM but the installatin runs fine until it begins looking for specific files and says it can't find the files on the Disc, even though it's in the DVD drive.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Can't Make Floppy Drive Read Disc Automatically
Oct 24, 2010Not sure if anyone uses floppy drives anymore much. I know that most machines don't come with them anymore unless you ask for one.One of my machines [Machine # 2] has a floppy and I have never had the occaision to use it under linux [opensuse 11.2 currently]. Until now that is! I have about 30 floppies that I need to transfer the data from. I am able to mount the floppy drive and take data off the currently inserted floppy, but if I want to insert another floppy and remove the data from it, I must unmount and remount the floppy everytime. There is an entry in fstab:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
and a mount point in media [/media/floppy] Is there something else I need to have in the fstab line for the floppy so that it will read automatically everytime I insert a disk?
