I have one hard disk (call her HDA) that contains nothing but a single ext4 partition containing a backup of all my important data. Last night I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my primary hard disk (call her HDB) and from there proceeded to upgrade directly to Ubuntu 11.04 upgrade. In 10.10, I was able to read HDA just fine. However after the upgrade, I can no longer mount this drive. When mounting from file browser:
Code:
Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so The end of dmesg said the following:
Code:
dmesg | tail
[ 82.130904] EXT4-fs (sda): bad geometry: block count 122096646 exceeds size of device (122096381 blocks)
my hard disk has a block count greater than the size of my device. I've done my background searching on this and tried a command line utility I've never heard of before:
Code:
# sudo e2fsck /dev/sda
e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 122096646 blocks
The physical size of the device is 122096381 blocks
[code]....
this is as far as I've gotten. This drive holds over a decade's worth of work for me and is extremely valuable. I really didn't think that the Ubuntu upgrade process would mess with this drive, seeing as the Ubuntu install was contained on an entirely different drive. What is it that I need to do to restore my drive to working status?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a utility that would do the following:1. Be run manually on a list of files whose sizes should not change, to get a control file containing the sizes of each file.2. Subsequent manual runs would report any changes in size of any of the files in the list, and allow option to accept the new sizes.3. Be run as a cron job to check for changes in the file sizes and send an email alert if a change has occurred since the last time it was run.The purpose is to detect possible hacks of key files on a website. It would not include files expected to change, but just those that should not change. It would be run manually a few times to get the control list one wants to monitor.

I did try Configure Desktop >Application Appearance, etc. as well as qtconfig in the terminal but these seem not to increase the font size to 12-14 points.
The font size on Chromium for the URL and tabs is *far* too small. I went into the "Under the Hood" settings, but to no avail. How can I make this bigger?

Can anyone recommend what partition(s) i should create, (primary/logical)|(size)|(filesystem type)|(mount point).
It has 1gb ram, although that will be upgraded to 2 in the next few days.
Should the swap file be as large as possible or as small as possible providing a person has 8GB of installed ram.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx" Amd_64 version on my dell vostro 1015. My screen resoultion is set to 1366*768(16.9) by default because the font size on web pages looks too small. I am not able to understand if it is font size too small or is it a resolution set too high. I am trying to fix this because I find very difficult to read web pages specifically. I tried to zoom in on firefox, but that is not permanent solution.
I want to decrease my screen resolution. I opened drop down and I find following:
None of the above resolution suits my laptop. The monitor type identified by Ubuntu says Laptop Monitor.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a programmable way to open an editor with a small window size. For example 60 columns and 3 lines. So I need an editor that can take its initial window size from command line args or environment variables, or possibly from an initial command that can be given on the command line.I've looked at documentation and experimented with gedit, gvim (and vi & vim), and nano and I don't think any of them can be controlled this way. Vi and its friends have a "window" option and also a "resize" command, both of which are described as setting the number of rows, but they don't change the graphical window size they just change the number of rows displayed in the window.

How to regain the old console shell resolution as in 9.04. I require this urgently as my laptop suffers the white screen problem. Switching between Ctrl+Alt+F6 and Ctrl+Alt+F7 I could get back the screen as the change in the resolution switches off and on the screen, so that I can negotiate with the white screen problem.
View 10 Replies View Relatedi just wanna know if there is some script out there for shutting down a certain service if the load exceeds a specified value?
I've a system with a DBI-Proxy running, most of the time the systems load is about 2~3...if a DB-connection dies, the load rapidly increases (very fast) and after some seconds the load is > 200 and i'm no longer able to shut down the DBI-Proxy manually...or do anything else via ssh...
Now i wanna have a script running in background that checks the system-load permanently and stops the DBI-Proxy if the load exceeds...well, lets say 10 or whatever.
It's about the promt for default keyring password after ubuntu boot. I cant get a screen-shot as print-screen doesn't work at that point.
The password mask (*******) symbol font size is smaller than any other password prompt (for instance gksudo). Is it only me ?
Should I report it as a bug ?
It's a minor problem but may be it's caused from something more serious as I have other problems.
Also this dialog window (of the keyring prompt) doesn't "woble". By that I mean that the effects that I've set are not applied to this window?
FC13 and Ubuntu 10.04 - both 64bit. Hardware: MBP 5,4 Here's how I do the install:
1. Boot to Ubuntu LiveCD and wipe disk.
2. Create a msdos partition table via gparted
3. Reboot from FC13 or Ubuntu install disk and continue to install with installer suggested partition scheme.
4. Reboot and get an error that says "uncompression error -- System halted"
Variation that I have tried:
1. After #3, boot into FC13 or Ubuntu rescue mode, chroot to hd image and run:
# grub
> root (hd0,0)
> setup (hd0)
> quit
2. Create a 250MB partition where I installed refit and use rest of the disk for Ubuntu or FC13. After installation, both Ubuntu and FC13 halt at the same error.
3. gptsync fails with no refit installed. Finds GPT table empty. LiveCDs from both distros work fine so ruling out hardware issues like bad memory etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently decided to try installing Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge from an old iso file I had floating around my hard drive. I first mounted the iso and copied the files from it into a folder. I then used Wine to install. Everything went according to plan until I went to run the game. When I tried running Red Alert 2 (original) an error message popped up: Error - Unable to set the video mode. When I tried running Yuri's Revenge the same thing happened with one small exception, the first couple of times I tried the Yuri's Revenge splash screen popped up before showing the error message. However the splash screen no longer pops up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn general I love Ubuntu Karmic, and think it's the most polished Gnome distro out there, but since installing it on my laptop alongside Fedora I haven't been able to boot into the latter.
I know that I could fix it by adding an entry into the 40_custom file, but wonder if there's a simpler fix.
The command
Quote:
sudo update-grub
actually finds and lists the Fedora Constantine kernel, but it still doesn't appear in the bootloader menu. Before I delve around and break something, does this mean that there's a line commented out in one of the config files?
I'm not going to slag off Grub 2 because I can see that it has clear benefits, especially for power users, and I don't mind change if it brings clear benefits. So long, /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Currently I have one instance of Avidemux indexing a 16GB mpeg2 file, another instance of Avidemux transcoding a 4.7GB mpeg2 file into an 860MB mpeg4 (by two pass encoding with fully exhaustive motion detection, extra quality filters, and a wide VBR range), vlc playing a DVD-quality avi, totem playing a DVD-quality ogm, and I'm capturing video from a pvr card.. With compiz managing the desktop (with all the most disgusting eyecandy on: wobbly windows, Atlantis, desktop sphere, experimental plugins from git, etc).My processor (3GHz Athlon x2) is completely maxed out of course... but I can't seem to raise the memory usage over "1.2GiB (16%) of 7.8 GiB"Is that normal? Is there something else I could do to test my memory capacity? (as in really usefulapplications, not just benchmarks)?Alternatively, if karmic is never going to use the rest of that memory, I might opt to run some parts of the desktop environment and/or kernel from a ramdisk.
