When I download something on ubuntu, I sometimes copy it over to my mounted Windows drive. When I then reboot into Windows, the files aren't there. They're missing. (It used to work before - now it's strangely stopped). When I log back into Ubuntu, the files are gone again!

How to properly integrate these RPMs into our system?
Option 1: we could take those missing OS RPMs and install them?
Option 2: can we package the missing files from missing OS RPMs into the existing Linux-xxx.rpm?
I changed to wubi last night, i decided to go that way cause i was informed it was a safe way to try giving it a try for linux and ubuntu without any special effort needed to be payed and easily deleted if i am not pleased.Thankfully i am pretty satisfied with the results, i pretty much dealt with most of the issues i have faced so far successfully and i am running it ok beside one important thing.See i am using my laptop, which has a hdd of 250GB.On my Vista there are 2 different hdd C+E by default, they separated my hdd.So while i have windows on C and E is pretty much used for my additional data(see movies, music etc) when i installed wubi i installed it on E, thought it would be better and it had more space.
Now though, while i can access threw ubuntu all my files that were located on C(vista) i cant access any of the E ones, and search file dont helps either.The "vista hdd" as ubuntu describes it, its a 250 gb disk on computer, which means it should contain both of the vista disks.But sadly thats not the case.i cant seem to be able to find them anywhere.
When i try installing anything i get errors, for example when i try to install somthing from ubuntu software center i get this.
Code: installArchives() failed: Preconfiguring packages ... Preconfiguring packages ... Selecting previously deselected package ttf-symbol-replacement. (Reading database ... dpkg: warning: files list file for package `libsdl-image1.2' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

I have created 2 files and put them in a folder in ubuntu 11.04 64bit. The partition is ntfs and is shared b/w ubuntu and win7. The partition doesnot have win7 installed on it, win7 ubuntu and data partition are three seprate partitions of a disk. when i logged in win7 the files and folder newly created were missing. then i logged back in ubuntu and they were missing from there to.
I have edited /etc/fstab =>
"# data Drive
UUID=C8E8EC38E8EC2682 /media/data ntfs auto 0 1"
so that the partition mounts itself at boot up, thats it I do not specifically unmount it, i just shutdown the pc normally. also win7 is hibernated, but its on sda0 its a different partition.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 AMD/64. I moved my data partition with GParted, resulting this message from GParted

Ok so I transferred about 6 or 7 gigs of music and videos to my laptop in 2 folders and 1 file just in the d:/ folder. This leftme with just one gig of space left on the drive. Now I turned of my computer and the next day when I turned it on, the files were gone or so I thought. The files are still taking up the space and when I tried defragging in windows, the files showed up under files not defragged and so did their old directories, but they still do not show up in ubuntu or windows explorer, I cannot navigate to them or open them, yet they are still on my hardrive and taking up space. How do I either get access to these files or delete them to free up space?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded both my desk- and laptop to 10.04 a week ago, and with practically no problems. However, today both have problems during boot. It takes longer than normal and when I open the log-file I get a message "Could not open the following files". There is a long list of files in /var/log that couldn't be opened as "No such file or directory": pm-suspend.log, wpa_supplicant.log, syslog.0, jockey.log.1,kern.log.0, auth.log.0, daemon.log.0,debug.0, messages.0, dkms_autoinstaller and finally "/var/log/btmp: The file is not a regular file or is not a text file". Seems problem started after a kernel update today.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI had a drive failure on my media server. I have replaced the drive and since my backup was a bit out of date I lost some material.
I thought, no biggie, I'll get everything back in order and just use the Missing Files list in Rhythmbox to figure what's missing.
Problem. Though the file count diminishes as Rhythmbox scans the library for file changes, nothing is being added to the Missing Files list. I have done this on two machines (one the server itself, the other across a Samba share). Same behaviour.
I have never seen Rb count down files and not add them to the Missing Files list.
I'm using 32 bit ubuntu and from time to time when I boot up every window I open is missing the tool bar up top that contains the minimize, expand and close buttons. usually a reboot or 2 fixes it but it hasn't worked. how do I fix this bug?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 11.04 (gnome flavor ) on my notebook.Everything installed fine except that I'm seeing three problems I'm hoping someone can help me with (or point me in the right direction).
1. When I open any window (gcalc or Firefox for example), the 3 little buttons which are used to maximize, close, etc...) are missing. So basically in order to exit any app, I have to do it through the application rather than clicking the close button. If you go to Themes, you can see what I'm talking about. For example, the theme 'ClearLook' show's the buttons. If I choose this, these buttons are not there.Any ideas why this is happening or how I can fix it?
2. When I open any application, it positions itself in the upper left hand corner of my screen. The menu of the application is tucked under the Gnome menu bar, so basically to use any application requires me to move it first.so I can get to the app menu.
3. When I open any application, I'm unable to position the mouse such that I can resize the window. Its like the mouse cursor can't find the the fine line where it changes so that I can grab the screen to increase or decrease it.
In virtualBox I'm running Edubuntu 11.04. Everything worked fine until a couple of days ago, when the top section, containing the close, minimise and maximise buttons, of all windows vanished and don't appear when I re-open them . At the recommendation of TL I ran
Code:
metacity --replace
Which restored the tops while I ran the command but the command never finished and if I stopped the command I lost the tops. Also at TL's recommendation I also ran
Code:
compiz --replace
but that didn't do anything. How to restore bar permanently.
My system is setup like this: 1 250 gb HDD, with a 20 gig partition for /, 200 gigs for /home and the rest is a swap file. I also have a 1 TB (ext3) and 1.5TB (ext4) hard drive that are also installed, mounted to /Shared_1TB and /Shared_15TBI just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and everything seemed to be fine. I installed all the updates, install the Nvidia proprietary drivers and got my HDMI audio working. I went to try and play a video to see what would happen.... there are no files in /Shared_1TB. It is totally blank. I tried making myself the owner, and while this worked it didn't help anything. I tried unmounting and remounted, however it kept saying it was busy and wouldn't remount it. At this point I was a little panicked, so I threw in a LiveCD and low and behold once I mount it in the LiveCD all my files are there.

My computer crashes occasionally and all of the files that have been written in the last few hours seem to disappear. On XFS sometimes they turn up in lost+found after xfs_repair. The files in ext4 seem to be gone for good.Is there any way to force linux to flush the meta-data more often or something so my files stop disappearing?

I try make the program and I get an error like: fail program confsdefs.h.

I have searched for dependency information and used apt-get to add anything I can find. How can I identify and find the dependencies for source? I have checked the source documentation though typically does not list required packages. My other question is how to check the path used to locate the libraries? Given the length of the missing library list, I think the problem may be configuring make.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRegardless of the fact that editing these files is necessary for good functioning of my system, my standard 10.10 ubuntu installation seems to lack these files:
XF86config
Xorg.conf
/etc/printcap
Am I the only one who witnesses this in ubuntu? Perhaps I need to apt-get install some things? Knowledge about these files is important for my study.
I have run into another situation where I need windows to run a program, The software that I am trying to use is Taxact. I have used this software for many years "BUT" I guess it just doesn't like my ubuntu 9.04. I have a 500gb hard drive installed that is empty and I thought I could just load the windows program onto that drive but I am getting a message NTSRP missing? I think thats what it said. What do I need to do to load this program onto this hard drive?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had Windows XP installed, then installed Ubuntu 9.10 in a different partition. I was able to choose which OS to boot. Then I did a distro update to 10.04. Now Windows is missing from the GRUB boot menu.
sudo update-grub doesn't change anything so I think sudo os-prober isn't finding Windows.
I've edited grub.cfg and can get an entry added for Windows, but it doesn't actually load Windows. It just reboots the machine. If I run sudo update-grub after adding a menuentry for Windows to grub.cfg, the menuentry I added disappears.
I've run testdisk, but BackupBS isn't an option. It says the original and backup boot sector are identical.
cfdisk says sda1 is the only partition that is NTFS and it is set to Boot.
I've already installed all available updates from lucid-security and lucid-updates.
I've run bootinfoscript and here are the results:

I had a Duel Boot set up on my Computer Windows XP Pro was installed First and then Ubuntu. Originally it was just Two options listed to choose on start up when I Booted up, this was Windows XP Pro or Ubuntu , if I did nothing Windows Xp Pro would start Automatically after about 20 seconds. A few months ago boot menu became messed up and when I started the computer it would go staight to the Grub Menu Linux Menu similar to below :
p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; } Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-33-generic-pae +
Ubunu, with Linux 2.6.32-33 generic -pae (recovery mode)
Ubunu, with Linux 2.6.32-32 generic -pae
Ubunu, with Linux 2.6.32-32 generic -pae (recovery mode)
Windows XP Pro was now at the bottom of the list and I had to scroll down to the bottom of the list to select it and if I did nothing it would Automatically boot into Ubuntu. Last night as I was scrolling down the List I accidentally hit enter it tried to load up Ubuntu and froze I restarted my computer and now Windows Xp is no longer on the list! It loads up Ubuntu fine but I can no longer boot into Windows as it is not listed when I start up. I ran sudo os-prober from Terminal and it came back with :

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.04 Beta - I recently upgraded from 9.10. I have for some time been using an IOMEGA External drive, storing files created using Open Office. After I upgraded I continued to use those files and open them in OpenOffice 3.2. Yesterday I opened the drive to work on the files and the entire directory is missing. All the other directories seem to be there. Bizarre.
Have tried using "locate" in the console, but the files are nowhere to be found. I tried accessing the permissions on the external drive but get the response "The permissions of IOMEGA HDD could not be determined". Using a dual boot system with Windows Vista, booting through Grub.
I have an external harddrive of 500GB. It's almost fully loaded with TV series and movies. Nautilus says there's 60 GB remaining space. I just downloaded some movies, and copied it to this external hard drive.And here's the strange part, after I did this I only see a very small subset of all the movies I stored on that harddrive in nautilus. With 500 GB almost full, you can imagine there are quite some movies on it, but I only see 12 of them in nautilus.

A couple months ago, I created a dual boot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 using wubi. I then upgraded to 10.10. What would usually happen is I would start up my laptop and it'll go to the Windows boot manager, letting me choose between Windows 7 and Ubuntu. If I would choose Ubuntu, it would go to a GRUB boot manager. It would let me choose between several different ways to boot Ubuntu, mainly that there were different options that were all the same except they had different numbers in the name, i.e. Ubuntu, whatever, 14.33.22.19.25 or something like that.
A couple weeks ago, I updated to 11.04. At first it worked good, but then a couple days later I updated a bunch of packages. It tried to CAT a GRUB file and failed. It gave me an error code, but I ignored it. Yesterday, I updated again, but since last time failed, it told me to do a partial upgrade. This I did, and it was successful. But now, everytime I go to GRUB and try to select any of the options, it tells me "Error: File not Found" and I cannot boot into Ubuntu. There are recovery versions for each choice, and using these I can boot into Ubuntu in low graphics mode and I can also get to a command line prompt.
