kernel 2.6.21.5, GNU (Slackware 12.0).updatedb: Secure Locate 3.1 - Released March 7, 2006.
Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a23.Some script in my system runs updatedb (in the background) on a periodic basis. I am wondering what would happen if it runs while I am burning a CD/DVD, a thing I usually do with cdrecord. Cannot this cause a buffer underrun
when I opened /etc/updatedb.conf it says there in the file that one should make ones own updatedb.local. But how, exactly? Presumably I create /etc/updatedb.local but what do I put into that? With all those $-signs I'm pretty much lost. Could anyone post his/her example of a PRUNE_FS statement or point me to some reference where I can read up on this

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to use updatedb to index an external hard disk drive. I mount the drive under /media/external and removed '/media' from the PRUNEPATHS in /etc/updatedb.conf file.This works and I can search for files when the drive is not connected using slocate. However it takes sometime to index the drive and I do not want updatedb to run on its own (if it ran while external is disconnected well...) and seeing as the box in question is on 24/7 if it should run by itself it will most certainly ruin the slocate db.I was thinking of plugging the drive in and running updatedb again, once completed will this work
Code:
# slocate '/media/external' > ext_file_list
and then to find a file even when external is disconnected

I have been trying to find a solution for my problem but I can't find it.
Does anyone know how I can add my external HD (USB 400GB) to the "updatedb" so I can find files in my hard drive? code...
If I want to use the locate command on a Linux machine, I usually run sudo updatedb first to update the database. I can run the locate command on OS X 10.5 but I can't find updatedb. What's the corresponding updatedb for the mac?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like an NFS drive to be added to the drives that are updated by updatedb. Here is my update.conf (default values):
Code:
PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS = "yes"
PRUNEFS = "auto afs gfs gfs2 iso9660 sfs udf"
PRUNENAMES = ".hg .svn"
PRUNEPATHS = "/afs /net /sfs /tmp /udev /var/spool/cups /var/spool/squid /var/tmp"
As far as I can see, there is no option explicitly excluding NFS drives. Neither, as far as my perusal of man updateddb.conf is there any way to telling updatedb to include a given path, only exclude one.getting it to include a path on an NFS drive?
I have a WebDav (davfs2) mounted in /home/myuser/mydavmountI would like to prevent updatedb from indexing the content of the mounted drive. I tried editing /etc/updatedb.conf and setting the following:
Code:
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/spool /media /home/myuser/mydavmount"
also tried these:

I used to be able to run locate and updatedb, but after an OpenSUSE update, they no longer work. I've reinstalled findutils and it appears to install correctly, but the commands still don't work.

I recently installed 10.04, in the process of installing MythTV... I'm looking for installed files and find bash no longer finds updatedb or locate commands. I did change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname to change the name of the box. Could this have hosed those commands? I tried them as root... sudo -i, same result...

On fedora system I do a updatedb command and thereafter a simple locate to look for files and softwares. But on my ubuntu 10.10 install, when I do a updatedb, I get Quote:nishith@nishith-Aspire-4720:~$ updatedbupdatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db'Also locate doesnot do anything, just gives back the shell prompt! what could be the issue here? BTW my install is on a usb 8 gb stick

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan "locate" or "updatedb" be set to print file names with white space properly escaped? For example, I want it to print, "/home/USER/My Files" and not, "/home/USER/My Files". I've googled around, read the man pages, checked the forum, and I'm still stuck.

K3b is, for me the one and only best burn in tool and I use it exclusively for backuups to CD's, DVD's, saving music, etc. Various blogs say to go to Livna and install k3b-extras-nonfree but when I tried that, k3b-extras-nonfree was not found.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am a Fedora user and have been using tovid to burn dvds. I would like to try other options. K3B has always been a handy tool for DVD related tasks.I have a bunch of mpg files. I opened a new video DVD project and copied the mpg files into the video_ts folder. When I burn, I got a message "the project does not contain all the necessary DVD files".Is this the right way to go about burning a DVD with K3B? Does K3B look after the DVD structure (ie. AUDIO_TS & VIDEO_TS) or do I need to create the DVD structure first?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have tried burning media files as data into a DVD (-R). Failed every time. It simulates the burn, and when it starts burning it sometimes ejects the media and at other times just says that it cannot eject the DVD and that it has to be done manually. After the DVD is ejected it errors out.Attaching the log file.
View 2 Replies View RelatedToday I want to install Ubuntu on a friends laptop. I finally convinced him to leave Windows and move on to Ubuntu. Ironically this has brought me into problems. I have downloaded the ubuntu-10.10-dvd-i386.iso and ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso to make a bootable cd/dvd to install Ubuntu. Now both K3b and Brasero give me problems burning one of the .iso files. I already waste some CDr and DVDr. I will share some logfiles for your info;

It started when I woke up to find that the Unity dock was misbehaving -- none of the icons were appearing, though there was something at the top that looked like a couple of the "flattened" icons that are usually at the bottom. I can't remember what I did in the terminal or gnome-system-monitor to try and fix this, but I think it was unity --reset. (Should've been --replace, I know that now. Unless I was barking up the wrong tree altogether) The result was that the dock disappeared altogether along with the tops of all windows, much as has happened in the past when metacity crashed. But now alt-f2 wasn't working, and while I had a terminal open (and in front of all the other windows), I couldn't type anything into it. (I could, however, right-click and start a new terminal, which didn't work either.)
So then I switched to tty1-6. Unfortunately, I don't know how to use those to start things in tty7, only kill processes. I did some Googling and tried sudo service gdm restart. This, according to ps, ended most of the processes I had open, and now tty7 is stuck on a text screen that says "Ubuntu 11.04" at the top and "* Checking battery state... [ OK ]" at the bottom and has a blinking cursor at the bottom right. Ctrl-Alt-F8 opens a GUI login screen that lists me as "Currently logged in."I'm completely lost here. Is there anything I can do to fix tty7? Is there even anything I should bother doing now but rebooting?
Im getting very slow DVD burning. Quite often in Turbojet2 or using growisofs or whatever, Im getting 0.5x DVD burning speeds.
I set the burn speed to 12x on Turbojet, but it hovers from 0.5x to maybe bursts of 5x.
I will get maybe 9 minute burn times in Brasero for single DVDs but 15 to 25 minutes in Turbojet2 and longer using growisofs or other CLI burning when doing multiple DVDs.
Im running 11.04 on a box w/ SATA drives, SATA DVD-RW's 12gb of Ram an Intel I-5 4 core processor
I have played w/ hdparm settings but no luck...I tried the below
Code:
I've tried writing music files such as .mp3, .wma, and .wav and play them in my car, but none of them work, and when I put the CD in my computer again, none of the music files are there!I've used Brasero and K3B to burn them, as well as the default program that just opens up the cd folder, asks you to copy the files and then gives an option to burn them, and I've looked at past threads but none of them seem to have the same problem as me (or else the suggestions don't help at all).
