Ubuntu :: Gui Version Of Ddrescue For 10.1
Feb 24, 2011
I have installed Ubuntu on a friends laptop. He lives in a different city, and needs to move files from one somewhat quirky 1tb drive to a new 1tb drive. He needs something that reads slowly on purpose or something like that. He also needs a gui tool. He asked me, but I haven't been able to find something for Ubuntu. maybe a custom script for ddrescue would work, but i don't even think he would like that. He is very nervous when it comes to the terminal.

I tried to clone my laptop ubuntu partition (9.10) using ddrescue into my portable harddisk.I run command "ddrescue r3 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb6" sdb6 is my portable harddisk partition with lots of data. In my head I was thinking that it will create image file (like iso or img)that can be restored to another disk.Suddenly I relize that it delete my existing data (in sdb6) then I interrupted ddrescue.Is there a way that I could get back my data in sdb6?Partition in sdb6 is FAT32m, now when I try to open sdb6 using Windows OS, it always aks me to format

extract some data off a failing drive the other day. I plugged it in, but got no response in windows or linux (partition is ntfs), but it does appear in the bios and /dev (though the hdd hung most linux liveCDs except rescue remix 9.04). I tried to analyze the drive, and found good smart data, so I figured there were just a few bad blocks in critical places. I ran spinrite against it in level 2 mode. the process crawled (40MB after 2 hours) and it updated the smart data to reflect many many reallocated sectors, putting the drive into a failing state as far as smart is concerned. so, now, in a last ditch effort I am turning to ddrescue to try to get an image of the drive. it's been running about 17 hours now, and has done several complete passes through "Splitting error areas".
here is my current output:
Code:
Disk /dev/sdb: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[code]....
have I done all I can? can I in good conscious declare this a lost cause? I do have an image from a prior run of ddrescue, with 826 MB of data.
edit: I resumed the task from log, and now it is reporting the err size as 9223 PB. since the drive is a 320GB, I find that a bit odd.

I'm trying to mount a .img file with a HFS+ partiton on it. I can't seem to get it working. I don't want to overwrite a whole partition. Just mount the filesystem to /media/directory.
sudo mount -t hfs -o loop /path/file.img /media/directory/ gives me wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
Output: dmesg | tail
[665583.878826] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
[690232.956830] hfs: can't find a HFS filesystem on dev loop0.

I'm trying to make an image of my whole hard drive (320 GB) to save on an external hard drive. I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty Live CD to do it, with this command
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda | gzip -c > /media/ExpansionDrive/imagedd.img
At the beginning everything is going fine, but after few hours the transfer rate is incredibly low. After 1/2 hour, 20 Gb have been copied.
After 1 hour, 27 GB
After 2 hours, 40 GB
After 4 hours, 54 GB
After 8 hours, 71 GB
Is it normal? I've also tried to use ddrescue, but I have the same problem. Is there any other tool to clone hard drive with a constant transfer rate?

I am trying to recover some important data from a 273 gig NTFS partition that was used in windows 7. The laptop was dropped and would not boot the next day. As an external drive I could see 2 smaller partitions (30 gig and 500 meg), but the main partition was RAW and requesting to be formatted... so I came to learn about Knoppix 6.2.1 as my live boot cd and ran ddrescue to recover an almost complete image of the bad partitionddrescue -n /dev/sdc1 /media/sda1/image.img /media/sda1/logfile.logI then ran it one more time:ddrescue -r 1 /dev/sdc1 /media/sda1/image.img /media/sda1/logfile.logthe image was made with 741 errors (amounting to 160 megabytes)So Now I have my partition as image.img which I want to mount.
First I tried
sudo mount -t ntfs -o loop /media/sda1/image.img /mnt/recovered
sudo mount -t ntfs -o loop,force /media/sda1/image.img /mnt/recovered
[code]....

But phpmyadmin shows this error; "Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.83 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.41" I have followed the Zend online docs and used a DEB install. Why would these versions be different?how do I fix it so that the two are in sync?

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 desktop version on my Lenovo L420 laptop. Now my friend told me that if I had installed laptop version on it then it would have recognized events related to laptop like closing down the laptop screen and all.
Q1. Is there any way by which I can upgrade it to laptop version?
Q2. What are the differences between both?

Which LXDE version of Linux has the newest version of Firefox and Open Office included?
I am looking for an iso file, and I am trying to run this off of a live CD for now. So I want a light version of Linux, probably LXDE, or if not, then probably XFCE. But I need a new version of Firefox and OpenOffice included.
Because, I tried burning the customizable NimbleX @ custom.nimblex.net . Pretty good, except it uses Firefox 2, and Open Office 2.3, which are outdated.
And I tried Mint XFCE, which might have been pretty good too, but it had some issue of blanking and requiring relogin after I opened hotmail frequently (user id: mint, password: blank).
The web browser and the word processing program are the most important and essential applications to me.
So are there any Linux versions in LXDE on LiveCD that include newer versions of Firefox (or at least another good browser) and Open Office (oo seems better than abi)? (Again, if no LXDE, perhaps XFCE?)
I just want to download a good version in an iso file, and burn it to a CD and get to work. Like I said the web browser and the word processing program are all important.
So really, what iso/LiveCD versions are the fastest for running on an older system, and yet have the newest browser and word processor included?

my laptop currently has 8GB of RAM and I wouldn't want that going to waste. I have read about the issues with flash on the 64 bit versions of buntu. Would you recommend going 64-bit or 32-bit with PAE? also, does the 10.10 kernel have PAE enabled by default?

I installed debian squeeze on an old computer that I found. (Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT) I installed from the i386 version, but now the uname command shows that its an i686. I don't find many packages that I need using apt-get. Do I need to compile each package I need from source or use dpkg to install the deb of an i386 version?
Can I use the i386 version on this computer rather than the i686 version? Will it cause a signifncant performance decreaes? (I use this computer to mostly do some reading and writing and file storage, no gaming etc.) How do I force the installer to use the i386 version?

I've made a linux app that I'm porting to win32 winth MinGW and MSYS. It's a ticker app that reads then renders a text file to a pixmap (a tall single-line image), then it kind of scrolls the pixmap by drawing a part of it to a drawing_area, using gdk_draw_drawable() within a timeout handler set by g_timeout_add().
The problem is it works fine on linux (the scrolling is really smooth and that's the goal) but the win version is choppy and uses at least 90% of cpu resources (vs 15% with linux) like there is a big performance problem. And I'm not even sure that double buffering is set. Is it related to some mingw config or drawing_area stuff or gtk for win?

Sometimes a kernel image seems to have the same version as the backported kernel image, for example:
linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64
linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64
What are the differences between the two?
