Software :: Choosing Journal / Diary - Useable From USB Stick
Jun 30, 2010
since switching from Windows, I have been using Lifeograph, which is a neat little program.
However, my needs are such now, that I am in need of something portable and cross-platform capable, for a whole bunch of reasons.
Basically, I need something that does the job of Lifeograph, or David RM's The Journal, but it needs to be useable from a USB stick in both Windows and Linux.
I know it seems I want the moon on a stick, but i have my reasons. It does not have to be free/open source either. I am happy to pay, so long as it does the job.

My computer that I am trying to use Linux on is a Gateway G6-400 with a 10 GB hard drive and the original floppy and DVD drive. I want to use additional parts that are useable from an old Gateway Essential which consists of: the hard drive, some RAM, and another 10 GB hard drive. I want to use a OS that looks like a Mac (I am thinking about either Ubuntu or Xubutu). It doesn't have a 4 pin MB connector. Does this mean I can't change the power supply on the machine, or is the computer able to use the PSU without the 4 pin connector? How much wattage would I need?!!! And what Graphics card should I upgrade to for this computer? I want to do basic tasks and play these three games: Wizard101, FreeRealms, and Fusion Fall. All of the internet I want to connect over a network wirelessly.

I'm looking for a useable remote desktop solution that works like Microsoft's RDP.The included "remote desktop" vnc server in Ubuntu doesn't work because every time I want to log in remotely, I have to first go sit down in front of the machine running ubuntu, log in, disable desktop effects, then manually adjust the desktop resolution to fit the target guest machine. I can't really do that if I'm on my laptop at the airport.
Some things I have tried:NoMachine NX does not work because once I've launched applications remotely on my laptop there's no way to get them back once I'm at the machine locally. Also, there's a sound feature, but it doesn't work. Remote X11 doesn't work for the same reasons.
1. I need to be able to launch an application remotely, then when I get home, go sit at the machine locally and use that application there without having to re-launch it.
2. I need to be able to hear the sound playing on the remote computer.
3. I need it to work with desktop effects enabled.
Essentially, I want it to "just work" the way Windows' Remote Desktop works.

I would like to see the journal of a file-system (ex. ext4) in action. What i mean is that, without knowing what kind of fs is on a partition, i want to test if this fs supports or not journaling.

I have a 500Gb external disk (esata) used a part of a backup cycle. I tried to mount it for the next backup cycle and an i/o error was detected in the ext3 journal. I fixed the bad block but that lost the data in the block and ran fsck.ext3. This resulted in a damaged file system message and a scan of the disk and fsck finished ok. The disk mounts rw. I am not really sure if I should reformat this disk. I have copied the backups off the disk and in any case there are later backups. Reformatting is not a problem but takes time and I would prefer not to do it if it is not required but I want a clean file system

I'm still quite new on linux .. so please accept my question, even if I'm asking something stupid The fact is that I created some months ago a partition of 50 Gb to store my data and I used an ext3 filesystem with journal .. and the journal was about 1 Gb I thinkNow after a few months of usage I moved all my data to a new device and I noticed thapartition was completly emptied, in fact there was still about 10 Gb occupied.All data was moved away, so I think this might be the journal.
Now a few questions:1) Is it normal for a journal to occupy 1/5 of a device? 2) Is there a command or another way to free up the space occupied by the journal?3) Is there a better option in order of filesystem? Maybe it's better to use another one?I usually use ext3 for the system partition and for data storage partition,then I have a partition into where I store clonezilla images for backup purposesand I decided to use reiserfs for it in order to have more space available,even because it's always unmounted and I access onto it only for backup activities

I'm about to ditch Freenas as my NAS software and make it an Ubuntu server box. The mainboard is an Asus AT3ION-T dual core Atom board. Freenas runs happily from USB stick. I have no optical device to install Ubuntu from and would like to install Ubuntu Server to a USB stick.

I have a laptop with important data (no backup) that will not boot. It's a vanilla Debian 6 amd64 with dm-crypt LUKs encryption to a internal sata drive partitioned sda1 sda2 sda5 with lvm2 formatted ext3 for sda5. The symptom is that upon powering up, it progresses (albeit slowly now) past grub, to the point where the the "Enter passphrase" prompt occurs. After entering the phrase, it pauses with "Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while". It seems to work, but then gives me errors like:
ata3.00: status: {DRDY ERR }
ata3.00: error: { UNC }
ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25
ata3.00: failed command READ DMA EXT
...some more stuff...
end_request: I/O error:, dev sda, sector 308725410
JBD: Failed to read block at offset 24711
EXT3-fs: error loading journal
and it drops me to Busybox ash shell. My impression is that the sda1 partition with the kernel is intact, but the sda2 or sda5 is bad.
What else I have done:
1. Removed problem disk and installed it into another known good laptop. Issue occurs with new laptop. So, I would assume hd is bad, laptop is good.
2. Booted from hd using grub rescue mode. Similar errors occurred.
3. Using suspect laptop and hd, booted into a live cd environment, which attempted to mount the encrypted drive. It prompted for the passphrase, but said it could not mount the drive.

Im using Ubuntu 10.04 64bits with external journal.
/dev/sda1 is the "/" partition.
/dev/sdb1 is the external journal
Everything is working fine, but if a new HD is added (like dev/sdc), I have a boot error, initramfs error!
Why this is happening? How can I add a new HD without error?

I would like to adjust the journal program called lifeograph. First I would like to build it, clean without any adjustments.
I'm using this version: [URL]
Readme file says:
Requirements
-----------
Lifeograph requires the following modules to be built:
* gtkmm,
* gconfmm,
* gtkspell, and
* gcrypt.
Installation
------------
Type "make" to build and "make install" to install (all without quotes). No configuration atm.
I tried make, but it doenst really work. So i think i dont have good requirements.
-> how do I install the required modules? -> I've found some in packet manager, but some appear to be librarys.

I'm on 10.04 64-bit and can't get tagging to work in Activity Journal (.5) or Tracker (., installed from the ppas. Am I missing something? It'd be really nice to have tag-level access in addition to hierarchal directories! I've spent two hours past my bedtime working on this and am stumped.

Whenever I try opening the Gnome Activity Journal from Applications > Accessories > Gnome Activity Journal, it doesn't open, nothing shows up, and not even in the System Monitor. So I took a different route, by opening it from the Terminal, to see if it gave me anything, and when I type in 'gnome-activity-journal' it spits this out at me:

I was trying to move my home partition on Ubuntu, and the computer hibernated on me. I restarted it up on the live disk to survey the damage, to find that the home partition, according to fsck, "Superblock has an invalid journal (inode Clear? <y>"
It cannot be mounted, either.

I have a system running CentOS 5.5 (194.32 Kernel) that has been working fine for about 8 months. I found it stuck one morning dumping a Soft Lockup Kernel message every 10 seconds and have been trying to find out what is going on - here is what I've done and found.
System is a Core i3 with 4Gb DDR3 ram and 2 1.5Tb SATA drives - everything is less then 1 year old with not too much load (this is a backup system for my server - a twin and the other works fine)
Intel Mobo: DM55HC
Rebooting the system (after doing a fsck on the drives with lots of errors) it runs for about 20 hours or so and then drops back into this problem.
Prior to going into the soft lockup it reports that the Journal has aborted on one drive or the other and drops into a Read Only FS.
There is nothing in the logs apart from the aborting journal message and the soft-lockup)
Tried fsck with badblocks check on the 2 mountpoints for both drives (dunno how to check the swap partition) - nothing I could see there.
I have tried memtest for about 36hours. No errors
I ran smartctl long tests on both drives. No Errors

When I was using Windows, I would take notes in class on Windows Journal with my tablet. Now that Ubuntu 10.10 supports all my hardware out of the box,I'm planning on using that, but I'm looking for a good replacement for Windows Journal. I don't need compatibility with Windows, but I do need to be able to save and load the notes. Handwriting recognition isn't needed or really wanted, I just use it to draw graphs, formulas, and musical notation for various classes.I love Tomboy, if there's a version that supports touch, I'd love it, but really any app that allows me to draw sometimes and type sometimes and easily switch between the two.

if I were to install an RPM package, say MySQL, in Fedora 12 x86_64, which one should I download? MySQL provides builds for RHEL5, etc. So is there a 1-to-1 correspondence between RHEL and Fedora?

I'm planning to build a NAS using spare bits of PC. I'm hoping to run the OS from a CF card. I want the machine to host music and also general files. I'm planning to install TwonkyMedia Server for the music.
1. I'd like to choose a small distribution, but one that is easy for me to deploy and manage (I'm new to Linux, but I am an IT professional). What shall I use?
2. I'd like to understand the implications of using Compact Flash. Will the OS need to write to disk? Can I configure my installation so that the CF card is read-only and provide a small writeable partition on my hard drive for any required IO? Should I not bother, and put it all on HD? (My motivation for using CF was to limit power-consumption/noise/heat).
