Ubuntu Multimedia :: Check If A DVD Burner Is Still Running Properly?
Jun 4, 2010
My DVD/CD burner is rather old now (going on 5 years), and I've had some "quality" issues when I've been burning stuff for the past year.
CD's: When I play a burned CD in my car stereo, the songs have a "skipping" sound to them on the low-volume levels of the audio. I use K3b as my burning software, and it seems to be the best, but am I wrong? Is this a common problem?
DVD's: Specifically video DVD's. After converting the .avi to an image file using DeVeDe Creator, it gives me a file that has the .iso and I burn the disc using K3b. It's really hit or miss.
The question: is there a way to test the performance of my DVD burner to make sure it's working properly? Is there a way to calibrate the mechanism? I have a new External DVD/CD burner that supports "LiteScribe" (I could be mistaken on the name, but it's a technology that allows you to create a picture on the opposite side of the disc), but my INTERNAL is a 5 year old Lite-On.

I tried six different M3 files using Bresaro Burn to burn to a CD (audio cd) however, one of these files are able to burn to a disc with Bresaro application. I burned the same files using Windows Media Player on my xp desktop.

I know I can use things like regionset and VLC to bypass region encoding (which I already do), I was really wondering if you can actually purchase a drive that is "region free" without having to apply hacks/ patches/ voodoo etc.I've done the "google thing" and all I come up with is hacks while using windows, I'd really like to get a drive that is completely region free.

I want to check weather a for loop has executed properly
Code:
for name in `awk -F: '{printf " "$1}' /etc/passwd`;do
echo $name;done
[ $? -eq 0 ] && echo "SUCCESS" || echo "Failed_to_fetch_the_user";
Every time this gives output as SUCESS even If I change /etc/passwd to other file name.
How can I resolve this ?

I've tried setting up BIND from a fresh install. I've followed a few tutorials (all seem to follow a similar routine), but it doesn't appear to work properly.
This is what happens when I query my domain: [URL]
This is my named.conf file:
Code:
//
// named.conf for Red Hat caching-nameserver
//
options {
directory "/var/named";
[Code].....
I've compared both files to examples and they don't appear to be any different - I'm at a loss as to what is wrong or where I should start to troubleshoot it.

I need a script that is able to check if a service is running or not. It has to do it automatic since it is for restarting a GameServer.
I tried to make one myself, but since the .x86 file has the same name for every server, it is hard to know a way to check if the server is running with the right process.
Is there a way to make a script which is able to check if a service is running (service has same name, but using other ports)

I wrote up a script to check to see if any VMs are running in VirtualBox, and if there are, it would save the state they are in and then reboot or shutdown the host.Is there a way to make that script run outside of using an alias for "reboot" and "halt" when I run those two commands?Here's the script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ -n $(VBoxManage -nologo list runningvms) ]]
[code]...

I run a script manually like/usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice and when I run
:ps -ef|grep openoffice
I get the following,
root 700 1 0 10:45 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice -calc
My question is how to check whether this script is running or not (It can be checked every 10 minutes) and how to make it as a service. (I don't have root access to put this in rc.local file or somewhere else).

How do i check if NFS mounts are still up and running?
when i do the command MOUNT , i get some result, but how can i see (or check) if they still up and running? I'm not so familiar with this command, so i hope that someone can guide me
I know that there must be some NFS links mounted, so if one fails, i need to see that with like an echo or something.

I am using this command (inside a bash script) to check if mailserver is running correctly (port 25)
# echo | telnet localhost 25 | grep "Connected to "
If it does not respond I receive an email alter.
It works good , but sometime it NEVER respond (neither after 1 hour) , so I receive no notification . DO you know alternative command to the command above ?

So I just installed ubuntu from a net install, and updated from the internet and posted on this site through firefox while installing vlc wich just froze at 90%.....
but when I try to add community repos it comes up with errors. And while running a system check it says I have no internet connection...
I'm connected through ethernet on a router wich works with the g5 in the other room running osx, and the pc upstairs running ubuntu meerkat. Now I had this same problem with SUSE 11.1 and worked around it by adding through terminal but I was never able to add from the GUI.

so I wrote a small script that pretty much just takes in two numbers and counts from the first to the second, e.g.
unknown-hacker|544> count.sh 1 3
1
2
3
My problem is I want to make it so that if you input invalid parameters, such as non-numerical characters, more than 2 numbers, etc., you'd get an error message
