Jan 27, 2011

I click on erase and the thing still there! could you please get me some commands? and by the way, how do I find how to use the command line so I don't bother you all the time? would it take me a hole engineering carrer or something? any 'document' recommended?

Ubuntu :: Can't Erase Files On External Hard Drive?

Dec 19, 2010

I bought a new 2.5 inch SATA laptop hard drive and mounted it in an external enclosure for use as an external backup drive. I had a whale of a time getting it formatted (ref post), but finally did by putting the bare drive into a laptop and used Ubuntu to partition and format as part of installing. Then I remounted the bare drive back into the enclosure and sure enough now I can now see the drive.

So now I want to erase the files from the backup drive. Problem is, Ubuntu won't let me delete or add any files. In Nautlis, if I select the files and "right click", Move to Trash is grayed out. If I press the delete button, nothing happens. If I try to copy a new file to the backup drive it says "permission denied". If I go into the Properties .> Permissions for the drive everything is grayed out so I can't change the permission. It also says "You are not the owner so you cannot change permissions".

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Zune Won't Work - Can't Copy / Erase The Files?

Aug 22, 2010

There are many Zune threads - all stating that zune won't work with ubuntu - so I get that. But I am curious... Why can I mount the zune player and see the files on the zune - and then when I try to add to the zune or remove them get an error message. Ubuntu can see what is on the Zune, so why can't it copy/erase the files?

Ubuntu :: Erase Profile At Logoff

Aug 3, 2010

I work for a public school and we are implementing a number of Ubuntu NBR 9.1 netbooks. I wanted to use Likewise Active Directory for authentication, but have problems with the software so now I'm onto another solution for our problem.
We are going to have one login for all users (Students, is the name). The problem with this is that Website passwords can inadvertantly be stored, potentially compromising users personal data. Additionally, I don't want to have any files left in the Students profile in case people accidentally save personal information in their files.I'm thinking there are potentially two solutions:

1. The Students profile is deleted when the user logs off. This will erase web history and files

2. The Students account is always logged in with a temporary profile (or no profile, if that is possible) that deletes itself at logoff because it is temporary.

I'm having a hard time coming up with search terms for a solution like this, so I thought I would put the question to the experts.

Ubuntu :: How To Erase And Reinstall Grub

Oct 11, 2010

Several moths ago I installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat alfa3 in a newly created partition while I was using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. After I installed the 10.10 alfa3, I realized that it also installed its grub. Moreover that grub could not detect the kernel updates of 10.04. Thus, I recovered the grub of 10.04 via live CD. Interestingly after I returned the grub of 10.04 the boot time of 10.04 has considerably increased.

For example, the Ubuntu splash screen appears 20 seconds after selecting Ubuntu in Grub menu. I thought that a fresh installation for 10.10 final release would solve the problem but it seems that I'm still getting the same boot time until the splash screen is the same. It seems that I need a fresh installation of Grub. The methods that are introduced following url are just recovers Grub. I need to erase and reinstall the Grub. [URL]

Ubuntu :: Erase It And Reinstall Windows Xp

May 2, 2011

job installing windows XP and a partion ubuntu (?) on my desktop compooper. telling him i have no knowledge of ubuntu, he still isntalled it. I am giving this computer to my parents, and want to just put Windows XP on it. here is what a half *** job means, windows XP doesn't have the sound and ethernet driver. he couldn't find them to install them onto the computer...and i keep getting errors all over the place when i try and do things on ubuntu.

I downloaded Windows XP Professional 64bit Corporate yesterday and burned it to a CD. Restarted the computer so it will boot but it just keeps going to the screen asking which system I want to log in to. NOW HERE IS THE KICKER.... when i try to go onto the windows XP side, it is coming up with an error that says I need to activate windows. when i click yes, it says i have already activated. when i click on the user it repeats what i just stated. so now i can't even get into the windows xp side.

Ubuntu Security :: PDF Editor That Can Erase Metadata?

Feb 27, 2011

I am looking for a PDF editor for Ubuntu that has the ability to erase all metadata from a document. I want to do this so that even if the PDF file is posted publicly, I would be at no risk.

I know Adobe Acrobat can do this completely and well, but it isn't free. Does anybody know what else might be able to do this job? I need a utility that can erase everything, including deleted/cropped content.

Ubuntu :: Erase Vista And Integrate Partition

Mar 25, 2011

I am running a dual boot system under ubuntu and Vista on my laptop. Many months ago the Windows partition crashed completely so half of my computer is practically dead. I would like to erase Vista and integrate their partition in the Ubuntu one. The best case scenario would be if I could just merge the two partitions into one and just have one large Ubuntu partition. If this is not possible, could I create a second hard drive within the linux partition?

I would just erase everything and reformat the whole hard disk to run under Ubuntu, but unfortunately I need my computer on a daily basis for work and I have installed so many programs that it would be really painstaking to reinstall them all from scratch... I am not so skilled with informatics, and I'm really scared of losing data, so if anyone could spend some time for a step-by-step solution description I'd be really grateful! Or, of course, eventually write a link where the problem is treated. I am running under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

Ubuntu Security :: Erase A Partition Without Entering A Password?

Jan 2, 2010

I've installed Karmic after having used Jaunty in the past and it's working great, but I have a couple of security questions...

I opened the Disc Utility (Palimpsest) under System>Administration and was amazed that it looks like it will let me delete partitions on my hard drive, and without even asking for a password. This seems like an enormous security oversight, what am I missing here? Is there a bug filed for this?

Also related, why does Ubuntu allow a user to disable startup applications without requiring a password?

Ubuntu :: Erase External HD W/o Erasing Main Drive?

Apr 12, 2010

I have an external hard drive I use for backups. This drive has entire operating system on it(don't know which one, but I think it's intrepid), from when I did a complete backup eons ago. I have added new stuff since then. I tried to erase the system files on it, since they take up space and aren't likely from my current system. I don't run the drive all the time, only when I'm backing up files. The rest of the time, it's off. When I did this, I couldn't run any programs on my main computer( the bin directory was gone), and it wasn't in my trash on the main drive or the external drive. I tried re-installing without erasing my home directory on the main drive; it went okay, until I tried to open a file.

My /home apparently had nothing in it, so i downloaded my backup files, only to run out of room. The files were there; I just couldn't see them. I tried to open several programs, but was told I didn't have root access. Finally, I just reformatted the whole drive and re-installed everything. What I'd like to know is:1. How do I clear the junk from the external drive without hurting the main drive?

2. Why did erasing the old bin file on the external drive whack the same file on the main drive?3.Several times before, I have upgraded or re-installed xubuntu, leaving my home directory intact. The upgrade either can't find my files, or forgets half my settings. How can I keep my files and settings? I hate having to re-install everything from scratch each time I upgrade. I thought having a separate /home directory was supposed to protect all that.

General :: Secure Erase Of CF Card Over USB?

Aug 9, 2011

I have a CF card I'd like to erase. My CF card reader is connected to my Linux machine via USB. How do I do a secure erase (i.e., the ATA Secure Erase functionality) of the CF card?

I have tried hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sdc, but I get an error: ERASE_PREPARE: Invalid exchange. In fact, any hdparm command gives me the same error:

# hdparm -I /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange

I read somewhere that hdparm can't do an ATA Secure Erase of a drive that is connected over USB. Is this true? I tried using sdparm, but sdparm doesn't seem to have the capability to send the ATA Secure Erase command to the CF card. So, what is the proper way to do this?
