I'm trying burn an ISO to a DVD+R. but I cannot seem to get it recognized. The drive will read a CD-R that I have, but not the DVD. I have found quite a few threads about this, but none had any working solutions. Does anyone know what I could do? Could it be because the bottom of the disc is blue rather than silver?

Weird, but suddenly just recently my system stopped 'seeing' any blank media. I have burned all sorts till now without problems, from K3B, Lemonrip, Handbrake, growisoft on the CLI, etc. Some errant update, perhaps?
I have done some digging ... added my user to cdrom, added an entry in fstab (K3B didn't like it so I deleted it), wodim -scanbus tell me I have '1,0,0 100) 'Optiarc ' 'BD ROM BC-5500S ' '1.03' Removable CD-ROM' ...
It can, however, read written Cds and DVDs without problems.
I am currently trying to copy a directory of roughly 400GBs to dvd, have gotten myself stuck. I tried to tar and then split; however, I don't have enough room on my hard-drive to make a compressed tar and split it up and then burn to disk, so I need a way to tar the and compress the directory, split it, and burn to disk every 4.3GBs.
I went ahead and installed DAR as an alternative, as I hear it is designed for this type of task, but I can't figure out which way is heads or tails.
my OS is the newest version of ubuntu 10.
When i use my computer (whether it's going online, typing, playing a flash game, or coding) I get these "Black Flashes" that are becoming longer and more frequent. A "Black Flash" is when my computer screen turns blank (but you can still see the backlight) and i have to press the NUMpad ENTER button, shake my mouse furiously, or click my mouse, which sometimes causes undesired actions, but gets me my screen back. sometimes the Black Flashes last a milisecond or 5 seconds or i have to hold the power button and restart because it won't come back on.

I am having the same problem, as soon as X tries to load my screen just goes blank. I have an ATI Radeon 9550. At first I tried switching between VGA and DVI as well but upon ruling that out, I switch to my on-board video card and that is working thus far, but I'm trying very hard to figure out a way to be able to switch back. Anyways I'll check back in later on if I have any new information I will post.

i just downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 onto a USB key and am attempting to instsll it next to Windows XP. The Ubuntu install wizard has giot to the point where i have already chosen my language and asked it to install upgrades as well, when i click "Foward" it only displays two options:
1) Erase and use entire disk
2) Specify partition manually
It is supossed to give the option to "Install along side other operating systems". This option is not being shown -si what do i do?
I am trying to install a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, but I am finding it is not recognising my only HDD in the machine. It is working because I am running Windows 7 x64 on it.
Here are my machine specs:

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8300 + 8400

The installation knows when my IDE drive is plugged in, but I want to install the boot sector in the WDC drive.
WUBI also fails to install on this current drive, though can setup the boot sector OK.
I installed the "recommended" graphic driver that pops up at top right and once I restarted the laptop, my graphics card no longer works with Ubuntu.

I boot disc from post, goes through the 1st 3 steps, select time zone etc and it wont find my HDD but it will find my USB mem stick when its plugged in.
I will keep fiddling in the bios to make sure that I have everything correct (it works fine when I installed w7 about 2 hours earlier)
I am installing it without dramas on a old P4 1.6GHz s478, 512mb Ram, 40GIG IDE and a old Geforce MX460 GPU and its at 53% so I know that the disc / version is good.
Since I upgraded to Ubuntu Natty, dvdFab has not recognized any DVD I insert into the drive. The program loads through Wine with no problems, and the disk is mounted by Ubuntu, but no dvd drives are recognized by dvdFab. I guess it will be a conflicting setting or something, but I would like to know if there is a solution, because my DVD player is knackered and only accepts DVD5's -not double layers any longer.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI currently am dual booting linux mint and windows 7. My only hard drive is partitioned in two, one for linux mint and one for windows 7. I installed linux mint with a usb bootable.
I want to replace my linux mint with ubuntu, however, my the usb bootable ubuntu isn't being recognized. I restart the laptop with the usb inside, but it just goes to the grub screen that lets me choose between linux mint or windows 7. The boot order has USB in first position as well. I used the usb creator as suggested on the ubuntu downloads page to create a usb bootable too. I've done this installation before with both ubuntu and mint... but now it's not working.
I tried "sudo update-grub" within linux mint with the usb plugged in, and restarting afterwards, but I still can't see the usb in the grub screen.
I managed to get the older, weaker box on the net and running simply by plugging in the Belkin N-wireless adapter, discovering the Network Manager icon (this really should also be accessible from the system pull-down menu), left clicking to see all the local networks, selecting mine, and inputting the security key, and rebooting. Voila!)However, on the newer, more powerful box, the network Manager gives me nothing but "Wired connection" at every boot (there is no such connection), I created a wireless connection under the settings (accessed through create VPN settings), but the Manager sees no wireless networks. Reboot solves nothing Network Manager is not seeing anything, I suspect that the card although powered by the USB, is not being seen by the system.

I have been trying to get Gparted to work so I can rename my harddrives, but it doesn't want to work. (What a surprise!) So I decided it might be easier to simply install virtualbox and rename the harddrives through the virtual Windows system. The only problem is that Virtualbox won't recognize the harddrives, so I can't bloody well rename them!
I installed Audacity to convert an mp4 to an mp3. Now, I don't necessarily need Audacity to do this, but for the time being I'm more concerned with getting Audacity to work properly as opposed to getting an mp3 onto my iPod.
In Audacity, I went to Edit>Preferences>Libraries. For the MP3 Export Library, Audacity recognizes LAME, but under the FFmpeg Import/Export Library it says "FFmpeg library not found." I hit the Download button and read this page on how to install FFmpeg, noticing the warning about needing FFmpeg 0.5 or later on Linux.
I fired up Synaptic and searched for "ffmpeg," chose the vanilla version and installed it along with two dependencies which I don't exactly remember but I bet they were libavformat52 and libavdevice52.
Back in the Audacity Preferences window I chose the "Locate..." button to point to the newly installed libraries, but Audacity is not recognizing/installing them successfully. I've tried pointing to the following files:
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.52
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.52.36.0
/usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavformat.so.52
/usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavformat.so.52.36.0
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libavformat52

Did I install the wrong version of FFmpeg or libavformat? Any pointers?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have learned a little about LVM through tinkering but on my new setup I am having trouble. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 Server with Gnome desktop 64 bit. I started with a 2TB HD and setup LVM with a LV for my data ("Storage) that mounts at /storage. That is full so I then added a second drive 500GB, formatted, added to VG and then extended the LV "Storage" with the 500GB partition. Now the LV reads as ~2.2TB which is right. Everything is successful up to this point. Except now when I go to the mounted LV at /storage Ubuntu shows it as full and only as ~1.7TB. The 500GB were never added!

I've previously installed ubuntu using wubi. But this is the first time I've tried installing it directly on the hard drive. I bought a new 320 gig hard disk and divided into 3 partitions of 50gig for windows 7, 30 gig for ubuntu and and the remaining for data. I installed windows 7 on the 50 gig partition. When I tried to install ubuntu using usb boot device, it says no operating system found and all my hard disk is muddled up and I can't see my partitions.
Now I go into live cd mode and see if I can mount my partitions and there I can see all the partitions. I formatted the 30 gig partition which was previously in NTFS to FAT32 and tried to install ubuntu directly from the live cd into the 30gig partition. But still the installer cannot see either my partitions nor my windows 7.As of now I'm using VMplayer and running ubuntu on a virtual machine. But would really prefer to have it installed on the hard drive to derive its full power.
I am trying to use my Samsung YP-K3 player with Ubuntu 9.10. Many people report that Ubuntu fails to recognize similar players and some fiddling with Amorak is necessary. However, my system recognizes the player fine, and I can copy files to it without any difficulties. However, the player itself fails to recognise the files that are copied to it via Ubuntu. It will play the files that were previously copied to it via Windows fine, and I can go back and copy edit the playlist in Windows and everything works accordingly, it just seems Ubuntu is copying the files over in a non-supported format or something, which is weird, because they're all just standard MP3 files, many of which were originally created under Windows.
