View 1 RepliesMy system is an Acer Aspire One Happy netbook. It runs Windows 7 OEM. I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix, which works fine. Unfortunately, I put GRUB in the MBR (I wanted it on Ubuntu partition in order to use Win 7 bootloader). Acer netbooks seem to have a particular MBR (in order to run e-Recovery Management), which is different to the standard Windows 7 MBR.
Moreover, in the internet there are instruction to restore Acer MBR, but they do not seem useful, since I do not find the MBRWRWIN.EXE and RTMBR.BIN files on the hidden partition. Is there a way to tell GRUB to remove itself and restore the previous content of the MBR (something like the old "lilo -u")? Does GRUB make a copy of the content of the MBR before installing itself? Where is it, if it is so?
I'm obviously having a problem with my onboard video but don't know how to fix it. Ever since I upgraded to Natty, if I maximize any window or resize it to more than about half the total area of my monitor, the contents of the window go totally blank. I can still see the window's title bar, but there's just a blank white space beneath that. I never had this problem before the upgrade. What do I need to do?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using a kubuntu 10.10 till last week when it could not complete do-release-upgrade, so I downloaded kubuntu 11.04, specifying that I did not want my /home partition to be formatted, and went ahead with the installation. I used ext4 under 10.10 and selected ext4 again for 11.04, yet when I first rebooted after the completion of the installation, I could not find any of my files in that partition (except a newly created user home folder with the same user name as the old one). But when I looked at du -h, it's 92% full. I know I have set the mount point correctly, so it shouldn't be a fstab problem. What I should do to recover the files?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI backed up about 19GB of my Web Server today compressed into a .tar.gz. I then split these files into 4300MB chunks (approx 4.2GB). I then used k3b to write 2 parts of the archive these to a Dual Layer DVD. The burn went fine but I cannot seem to mount said DVD. I tried the following;
Code:
matt@matt-u:/media$ sudo mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /media/cd
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,

I have a question - what's the best way to edit the contents of an .iso image ?Yes, I know how to mount it and navigate through files and folders. But it's read-only. Mounting with "rw" option also doesn't help.I've heard about 1) mounting, 2) coping everything to a separate directory 3) editing some files, 4) making a new .iso image
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to copy the contents of a directory through ssh. The problem I'm having is that I can use the cp -r terminal function, but that would cause the directory itself to also be copied. I just simply want whats inside to be copied to another directory. Because of the way I have my server laid out, I would have to copy the entire directory, then copy each element one by one inside that directory into the specified folder. This is really tedious. So, is there a way I can just copy its contents? I was thinking of zipping it, the unzipping it, but when you extract, it once again just creates a new directory, not the contents inside.
If this is confusing, this is what I'm trying to do:
Directory: ../random/
Currently after scp -r:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was running 9.10-64, upgraded from 9.04 on a 160GB separate boot drive with a 1TB drive for storage. I had mdadm software RAID on 3 500GB drives. I copied off the contents of the md0 RAID device, formatted from ext3 to ext4, then copied it all back. I operated for several weeks this way with enhanced performance and no issues.note: All drives are on MB SATA-II.I wiped out everything and reloaded the 160GB drive with 10.04-64. I removed dmraid and set up mdadm as before with no immediate problems.
The next day, when I pulled up the contents of the 1TB drive (mapped to /1000), it displayed the contents of the root instead. Curious, I attempted to tunnel down to the /1000 folder from within its own listing of /, and saw no files listed. I proceeded to delete the files in the /1000 folder, whereupon I found that my system became unstable. I must have somehow been deleting files from the root itself.I reloaded again. To check if the SATA connector to the 1TB drive may be somehow suddenly faulty, I reordered the connectors and set up the boot priority in the BIOS to match the new configuration. The next morning, I was once again able to see the contents of / when ls'ing /1000. I carefully checked the entry in fstab, the fdisk -l output, and made sure that the directory wasn't somehow showing as a link.
For the next attempt I decided to take ext4 and mdadm completely out of the equation, hoping it was a bug with some combination of the two under the new kernel or something else which could be corrected by replacing the software RAID with a physical controller at a later date. Instead of RAID, I simply formatted each of the 500's as ext3 and mapped them to /500-1 through /500-3 respectively. However, after a day of normal operation, I am now able to see the contents of / when I ls /500-3. The other 4 drives appear to continue operating normally.I have been unable to pull up a similar post prior to creating this one. Perhaps I don't know how to properly search for this issue. If anyone has seen something similar, please link me to the solution.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have a bunch of CDs I have burnt over the past year or two, and only problem is, I would burn them, use it and forget about it. I never bothered labelling it. Now, I want to label them appropriately. Is there any way I can find out the following just looking at the CD contents-
1. Distribution - lucid / karmic / etc
2. Architecture - amd64 or i386
3. Type - server, desktop, alternate etc
I know if I boot into the machine from the CD drive, I can find out, but I prefer not having to do that
I know that you can use ls to list the files in a folder, but is there anyway to list the contents of the other folder? Like, say I have a folder labelled "Records", and inside is 12 folders, one for each month.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a large tarball which is bz2 compressed, and I would like to get a md5 sum of the files contained in it, as I have a separate directory on another server containing what I think are the same files. I want to check to see if the tarballs files are the same as the uncompressed files on the remote server. The files are big 10gb+ so I was wondering if there was a quick way without having to uncompress them all and then md5 them.

Anyone know the trick to getting Ubuntu to show the contents of a window while I resize it? It WAS doing this until I loaded up the drivers for my Nividia Quador 135M (works great!) I'm very happy with my Ubuntu 9.10, I even have all the bouncy window effects running.
Still, I would love get rid of the "faded blue resizing box" and see the contents instead.
I have an LVM group containing three 500GB drives in my NAS/home server. Last week, the contents of this group(ext4) disappeared with no apparent explanation.
I've been looking around for solutions, and here's what I've tried:Restoring the LVM configuration using vgcfgrestore with the most recent file from /etc/lvm/backup/. This restored just a few of the folders. Run fsck on the group. Lots of errors, all fixed, but nothing more appears. Run badblocks on each of the disks, no errors found.
It seems there is nothing wrong with the drives physically, or with the software configuration, so where have the files gone?
Even if I can't restore the full volume, if I could just grab what I can from the drives.
Anyone using flash with blogtv? I've got a Ubuntu 9.10 box with a nvidia 9400gt card running flash and have run into some weirdness. I get alot of flicker when viewing flash content on sites like blogTV. Also, cannot get my webcam going in blogtv. Webcam is a webcam pro 9000 and works flawless. The problem is adobe flash. I have researched and know that there are problems with flash and linux but whats interesting is that I also run a fedora 11 box and blogtv works fine. The video card in the fedora box is a nvidia 8400 and running flash.
On the Ubuntu box when you go to broadcast you get the flash permissions (allow blogtv permissions on camera) but the buttons do not work. It pretty much locks up in the flash widow only. Also, Viewing content on the site has a lot of flicker. Other sites do not have this flicker. Seems strange that my fedora box works with no problems but the Ubuntu box doesnt. Today Im going to try the beta flash (libflashplayer.so) from adobe version 10.1.51.66 and see what that produces.
I have a set of folders in some directory /home/dir, and I'd like to generate zip files for the contents of each folder separately. I'm wondering if there's a quick way to do this with a one-liner, or what the bash script would be.
Directory structure: /home/dir/first/second/thirdand I want three files, first.zip, second.zip, and third.zip. I know zip isn't the best format, but these are for distribution to users on Windows machines and I'd prefer to keep them in the zip format.
