Ubuntu :: FAT32 Label Is Always Caps?
Nov 28, 2010
Yeah, I've been messing around with my partitions recently to make them more organized and appealing to my OCD file management habits. My main partition that I use to store all my files and windows programs on was previously labeled "Free" since I installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago and created separate partitions for things, I didn't like the vagueness of the name, so I changed it to "Storage" via GParted Partition Editor.
Yet, for some reason it always changes its self to all capital letters. I label it "Storage", it becomes "STORAGE". I've researched around for others who have similar issues, but they usually ended up with a response similar to "It's Fat32, so it's always capital." I don't see how that's true, considering mine was labeled "Free" for the longest time..

Can I change the Caps Lock key to Control and still keep the on/off nature of Caps Lock? I've checked into using xmodmap and seem to have hit a dead end. Many people want to swap them, but they also want to swap the way they work. I'd rather keep my new Control key as an on/off switch for Control.

I may have sabotaged my installation beyond repair, but I am nourishing a cautious optimism, as justified below, and would warmly welcome any ideas.Here's the scoop:The harddrive on my Dell Latitude is divided into a number of partitions; I used to run a Windows-Linux dual boot, so I had some EXT3, some NTFS, and some FAT32 partitions, but a few months ago decided to eliminate the windows, and thus converted the ntfs partition into a linux partition. I've been using this newly converted partition for temporary backups; it held no important data. This, at least, was my supposition: yesterday, I decided to change the label on this partition (cosmetic motives), and after cavalierly making the change with GPARTED, I now can't log in.
A few clues about what could be going on:1. The system boots up fine; when I get to the login screen, however, and enter my name and password, I get the following error message: "GDM could not write to your authorization file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing. in any case, it is not possible to log in. Please contact your system administrator."2. All my files are intact (following some advice I saw posted on the forums, I hit cnt + alt + F1 and was able to log in) and as far as I can tell, I am not out of disk space. This gives me hope that maybe I can restore the system without totally reinstalling Ubuntu.That is about all I know. If anyone has any thoughts as to what might be going on, I would be very happy to hear them.

So I have a Zebra S4M label printer that I have managed to get mostly working under CUPS. To make that work, I have the printer upgraded with the latest firmware, CUPS 1.4.1 with its AppArmor profile disabled and the Zebra EPL/ZPL ppd file that's floating about the internet loaded into cups. The printer is connected via USB to the computer, and is set up in cups using ZPL. The computer acts as a print server for other computers, and everything seems to work ok, with one exception. When the printer runs out of paper or runs out of ink ribbon, the printer stops and displays an error on screen, but CUPS never stops. It keeps taking jobs, sends them to the printer and reports that everything is A-OK. It appears at a certain point, the printer's memory gets full and then CUPS sort of hangs.
But it still doesn't display and errors or stop the quque, it just starts this weird behavior where it eats jobs or combines them into one giant job that it just sits on. What I need is for CUPS to know that the printer is out of paper or ribbon and pause the queue until the error status is clear. I know that this printer is communicating its status in some way, as when it's connected to a windows machine, the print queue stops when the paper runs out. How to get CUPS to recognize the printer status so that I'm not losing jobs? I've tried digging through the debug logs but there doesn't seems to be much help there. I do notice that from time to time CUPS says it's discarding "unused printer status changed" and "unused job progress" events but other than that, nothing I see of interest.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with dual monitors enabled. Technically speaking, everything works just fine. There is one very annoying aesthetic issue, though. There is a label in the top left corner of each display that identifies the monitor (Dell 18", for example). The label does not disappear and is always on top. I had to move my panel to the bottom of the screen just to avoid the label. How can I remove/hide this label?

I'm attempting to set a label for my Windows partition, but it seems risky. Here's a picture of GParted before I attempt to set a label w/ the drive unmounted (wont let me change label when mounted):
After I set a label, the image goes empty as if it will format if I click 'Apply': My question, is it safe to hit apply or will it wipe my drive, and if so, why? In Windows I can just set a label even with the drive mounted.

This isn't important but it's always been an itch I can't figure out. I have 3 partitions on my laptop: Ubuntu, OSx86 and Windows 7. I use Pysdm Storage Device Manager to automount them on start-up.
My OSx86 partition is labelled "OS X" and displays as such on all three systems. My Windows partition displays as "80GB File System" (as it's meant to).
I was just wondering whether or not it was possible to change how it displays on Ubuntu safely, to something more aesthetically pleasing such as "Win7".

After a recent hard drive replacement, I find that I can no longer boot my Ubuntu partition. It seems that Ubuntu set up GRUB to boot using the disk id, which is no longer valid. I've been using the old GRUB for a number of years, and have always used the LABEL= syntax to assure that the correct partition is booted. There is a dire warning in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file NOT to edit it. With the old grub, it was just a simple matter to change the menu.lst file. What file DOES get edited to make the change for the new drive? Is there an easy way to get GRUB2 to use the LABEL= form that I know and love? Or is it easier just to reinstall Ubuntu when a drive gets changed?

Being and old Gnome user and a brand new XFCE user, does anyone know how to disable the Caps Lock key in Xubuntu 11.04? It's rather easy in Gnome and obviously not so easy in XFCE.

After finally getting Ubuntu 10.04 installed (with a few disasters along the way) I sought to recreate a shell script for backing up critical files that I had been using with 9.04. The destination for the files was /media/disk (with "disk" being the name that I had given to the USB flash drives in the past with 9.04.).
One drive mounted perfectly, and the shell script ran as it normally should. However, two other drives gave "file or directory not found" error messages and no files were copied. One of the drives lists its name as a very forbidding
"/media/5d588180-19eb-4656-8677-b652c4ed0003.
I attempted to re-name it to "disk", using e2label after un-mounting it, but that did not work? If I run the shell script on several different USB flash drives that I alternate, they must all have the same name.

Also, can I remove the Countdown and make grub starts by let me select which OS I want to start?

I have a USB thumb drive that I just partitioned using the 'fdisk' utility in Linux. Now I am trying to learn the command that will allow me to format the drive as 'fat32' while also setting the disk label on the device as "ocz_usb" when the drive gets mounted. Does anyone know the command I would use that will format the USB drive and properly set the disk label at the same time?

I am a newbie to Linux and I am using CentOs. I am trying to create a new partion on my CentOs VM. I create a new primary partition using fdisk (I use the command fdisk /dev/hda). After I create the partition and use partprobe to write the partition to disk, I try to give the new partition a label. So, I use the command e2label /dev/hda LABEL=test
However, when I enter the command e2label /dev/hda3 , it doesn't display the label for the newly created partition. Am I doing something wrong here? Is the syntax of the e2label command wrong when creating the label for the new partition? Did I miss a step after writing the new partition to disk.

i was trying to re-label my flash drive and i manged to with the help of this command
mlabel -i /dev/sdc1 -s ::test
what does the -i option means cause after i read the manual pages i couldn't find it there. mlabel only takes the "v" "s" "c" switches and no "i" and when I remove the -i option from the whole command don;t work and i can't re-label. its just driving me crazy that every one is using it and no tells what does it do.

When I plug in a USB in Lucid, it gets mounted at /media/usb0 , etc. I'd like it to mount as /media/<volumelabel>. I know HAL is gone and things have changed, but I'd like to still have the USB mounted at /media/<volumelabel> as it used to, as I got scripts that use those mount points.

I'm trying to install 10.04.2 on a Dell machine with no current OS. I finally found the thread that said to use the alternate installer if you have a RAID: so i'm using ubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso, burned using Roxio on my (different) windows box.
I go through the early installer steps ok, get to partitioning, choose guided resize (potential tangent: first time this modified partitions #6 and #7, second time it was just "use entire disk"). Then "installing base system", then a dialog that says: Please insert the disk labeled "Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - release i386 (20110211.d) in '/cdrom/' and press enterWell, the disk is already in the drive, and the installer has previously claimed it's reading from /cdrom. Reinserting it doesn't change anything. My only choices are <Continue> or <Go Back>, both of which display the same message. So i can't get past this, or escape, or do anything other than power down.
Looking at the disk on my Win machine, it appears to be labeled "Ubuntu 10.04.2 L" (can't tell if that's truncated or not).
Does the installer really demand a certain label on the disc to succeed?? how to successfully install in this situation?
Update: just to be sure, i checked the md5sum, and it's correct.

I would like for someone else to try it. All you need are two keyboards (I have the one of the notebook and a usb one).
So now, if I turn Caps on with the notebook's keyboard, the external keyboard doesn't light up the Caps LED and vice-versa. Is this a normal behavior?
