Software :: Cannot Read Or Copy DVD
May 27, 2011
So I have bought these DVD's of the Alias TV show on the internet (Seasons 1 to 3) and I cant read them or do anything else with them. They seem original commercial DVD's (not copies) and they are not damaged in any way. At first, I tried to rip them to my server as a backup with Handbrake and it failed. Handbrake scans the DVD and never terminates. In the Handbrake Console, I see
Code:
[22:36:28] gtkgui: HandBrake rev3736 (2011010699) - Linux i686 - http://handbrake.fr
[22:36:28] hb_init: checking cpu count
[22:36:28] hb_init: starting libhb thread
[22:36:28] hb_init: checking cpu count
[22:36:28] hb_init: starting libhb thread
[22:36:32] hb_scan: path=/media/ALIAS_SEASON_1, title_index=0 .....
I tried to open the .VOB files directly with VLC, and got
Code:
File reading failed:
VLC could not read the file.
And Mplayer said:
Code:
Seek Failed"
Finally I tried with GXine and it will read the DVD up to the main menu (I see the FBI warning message) and then it say:
Code:
Read error from:
Error reading from DVD.
So whats going on with these discs? Some sort of anti Linux encryption or protection? I have not tried on a windows machine and I did not try on a commercial DVD player since I dont have these for now.

How to copy a Read-Only file in Linux and make the copy writable with a single cp command in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? The --no-preserve and --preserve seemed to be good candidates, except that they should "and" the mode flags, while what I am looking for is something that will "or" them (add +w mode).
More details: I have to import a repository from GIT to Perforce. I want that all Perforce depot files are Read-Only (that is how Perforce was designed), while all other files that were derived/copied from depot files are writable. Currently if a Makefile tries to copy a Read-Only file then the derived file will also be Read-only. This leads to build-errors when cp tries to overwrite Read-Only file second time. Of course the --force is a workaround here but then the derived file is also Read-Only. Also I do not want to mess with "chmod" after each "cp" command - I will do that only as the last resort.

My Freenas server is currently off line for the moment pending the arrival of some thermo paste and I need to get some files off one of the drives. The drive is formatted in the UFS file system.I am using a usb to sata converter to hook the drive up to my laptop which is running 10.04.I am then able to browse the files by going to my /mnt folder. The problem is I cannot copy any of the files. I get a permission error. I have tried chmod 777 command to change the permission but I get an error about it being read-only. I tried running nautilus as root to copy the files but I still get a permission error. Using nautilus as root to change the permission or alter any of the read/write options fails because the drive is read only.
From what I understand I can only mount the drive as read only because its UFS and I can't change the permissions because its read only. Sounds a bit like an endless loop lol.Running Freesbie (freebsd live cd) didn't do me any good as it didn't even detect my hard drive and I don't want to learn a new OS just to transfer my files.ny advice would be appreciated. I really don't want to wait until my thermo paste comes and I will be on the road for the next couple of weeks so I won't even be able to get it setup. I need these files now.

I have a question regarding Samba Permissions. As the subject described, is it possible to let users read the file but can not copy the file physically? It's fine if they open and copy paste the contents but no physical copy paste and also I need to log the activity of the users. If samba will not be able to comply my needs, could you suggest some programs to meet my requirements?

I am making the transition to either Ubuntu or Kubuntu in the next couple days. I have been running the Win7 evaluation version which is pretty much just Win7 Ultimate.Two are internal, four are external. All of them are NTFS. So are my pen drives (512MB and 8GB). Will these Linus distros be able to access these drives? If so, to what degree? Everything I have read online so far seems to give Linux a mixed track record when it comes to working around NTFS security, etc.

I have a 160GB harddrive which I installed a F12, would like to upgrade to a bigger drive, but I hate to have to re-install everything.
Recommend a good disk copy utility? The utility should be able to not only copy files, but boot sector and everything. So I just need to make a copy, change my BIOS to boot from the new drive and run everything as before.

The titles says about everything. CD's are perfectly automounted.WhenI insert a DVD however (I tried various DVDs), absolutely nothing happens, as if I would have inserted nothing or a blank DVD.I already read lots of threads and nothing o help... Here are the outputs of a few commands that might or might not be useful.A line I added myself in fstab which appears completely useless:
Code:
/dev/sr0 /media/dvd auto utf8,user,noauto,exec 0 0

how do you copy an entire line and add that copy at the end of the same line?
For example, sometimes I rename a collection of files with a command like:
"mv oldfilename newfilename;"
I am able to add "mv" at the beginning, the semicolon at the end and sometimes replace a word in the middle, but... how to change a line "oldfilename" into "oldfilename oldfilename"... that is already long time a mystery to me...

My comp has two hard drives: 1: 300gb, 10,000rpm 2: 500gb, 7200 rpm. (Both drives are SATA).First drive is loaded with 10.04 and has many programs installed, tweaks and settings made etc. Second drive has 10.10, but no changes or progs installed.I want to wipe clean the second drive and copy the entire contents of first drive onto it This will save me the trouble of doing a clean install of 10.04 on the second drive and then having to install programs , change settings etc. Is there a program available that will let me do this, so that I won't have to make any changes to second drive after the first drive has been copied to, ie I won't even have to install grub? Note that I am a novice with linux and not very good with computers generally, so the program should have an easy to use gui

Consider two directories, a and b. b has stuff in it, includling sub-directories and files that begin with ".". For the sake of making this post clear, there is a file named "1" in b. My goal is to copy all of b into a, such that a "diff --brief --recursive a b" indicates that a and b's contents are identical. a is empty.
Code: Select allcp -pr b a
The above copies b (and all contents) to a/, so that b/1 is copied to a/b/1. Our goal is to have a/1, not a/b/1.
Code: Select allcp -pr b a/
The above does the same as "cp -pr b a".
Code: Select allcp -pr b/ a
The above does the same as "cp -pr b a". Unexpected.
Code: Select allcp -pr b/ a/
The above does the same as "cp -pr b a".
Let's try something different, in a different way:
Code: Select allcp -pr b/* a
The above copies inside of b to inside of a, such that a file a/1 gets copied as b/1.
Good: this is the goal.
Problem: it skips hidden (starts with a dot) files.How can one copy the entire contents of a given directory ("b" in my examples) into a second directory ("a" in my examples) in such a way that everything in b is copied to a, but that another b directory is not made inside a, and such that all hidden (starts with a dot) files are copied in?

When i do cp filename destinationfolder it isn't happening. I don't get any error messages or any indication that the file copy didn't happen. But when I go to the destination folder and do ls; the file(s) not there. I tried it with sudo also and i get the same results. When I first did the copy it actually copied it somwhere but not where i wanted it. It copied it to folder name Desktop. So i tried copying it from Desktop and again same results.

I just purchased some shares data which came on cd in a zip file.When I try to copy the file from the cd I get a file input/output error.This happens whether I use cp in a terminal or if I try to cut and paste on the desktop.If I try to read it with the archive manager I get a similar error where the archive error complains about missing zipfile directory.I tried opening a couple of pdf files on the same disk and got input error for one and file is damaged for the other.Could this brand new disk be that damaged that it is totally corrupt? I cant see any scratches or anything on it.Any help copying this file to hard disk and unzipping would be appreciated.

Don't know how to report to bugzilla, but first of all I want to know if it's only my PC or if you have this problem too. Today I started copy a 1.4 GByte from an internal disk (NTFS formatted) to a USB stick. The process is extremely slow (but this isn't a news, it always was with previous Fedora versions), in the meanwhile I tried to start Firefox and I found that it doesn't start: from KDE system monitor I see that Firefox starts loading but it blocks in "waiting for disk". Tried with some other program (Ksnapshot, Filezilla) and they're also extremely slow in loading when copy is active. When putting the copy process in pause, after some time programs starts opening.

I saved my entire home directory of 11.1 before installing 11.2.I am slowly recovering everything, but it seems that Tomboy doesn't use ~/.tomboy anymore.I copy that directory from my saved dir to my new homedir and it ignores it. I then deleted the .tomboy dir from my new homedir and created a new note. It didn't recreate ~/.tomboy.So, is there any way to copy my notes from 11.1 to 11.2?

I have setup a NFS-share from an SUSE Enterprise Server 10 SP1 This NFS-share i connect on my OpenSUSE11.2 64bits and mount is in /mnt
I can list files and directorys, but can't copy. It manage to "copy" some folders, but then it stop and say it cant copy tjhe files and ask to skip files. Only folders are copyed/created localy but no files.
Where is the problem? Is it SLES or is it my local OpenSUSE?

I've been backing up some of my older DVDs to my hard drive, as they were starting to get a bit scratched. Using 9.10, I had no problems. After updating to 10.04 yesterday, however, every method I try to use fails after copying about 80 to 120 MB.I'm running the amd64 version of 10.04, my optical drive is a TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632H, and I have installed libdvdcss2 from the Medibuntu repository. I can play the DVDs just fine, but I can't copy them.
Brasero craps out with "Error while burning. Data could not be written (Input/output error)", which based on some things I've read also pops up if data can't be read. I've tried the "Save Log" button, but the log is always empty. dd exits with "dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error".dd_rescue starts showing nothing but bad blocks roughly at the same point where dd throws the I/O error, and if I run it in reverse, it starts showing bad blocks immediately.k3b seems to work... but it took nearly half an hour (which is a bit longer than it should have taken), it threw a "Problem while reading. Retrying from sector n" error three times, and VLC won't play the resulting ISO, either directly or mounted.
I would say that it seems like a problem with copy protection, except that I have libdvdcss2 installed and I can play the DVDs just fine. I just can't copy them to an ISO. And it's not a matter of the discs being too scratched or a problem with the drive, since as I said I can play them just fine, and I can copy them in Windows using MagicISO.Some of the DVDs I'm trying to copy aren't available anymore, but I'd hate to have to boot into Windows just to copy some discs since I do pretty much everything else in Linux.

I am upgrading a QNAP NAS - the unit only had 1 drive to begin with. I have taken this original drive out and hooked it to my ubuntu system and when I boot my machine ubuntu sees the volume that was the volume the qnap shared. and it sees MOST of the files. but when I go to copy stuff it gives errors stating things like 'can't copy data2.cab' - when I go the directory where it claims it can't copy data2.cab there is no data2.cab.
Thing is I am pretty sure there *IS* a data2.cab ... just that the rights or something are such that I cannot see / copy it. is there a simple command I can run on the *entire* drive that will set the ownership of ALL files so that I can see and move them? I just need to copy all these files over to the upgraded nas and then I can reformat this drive.
