Today went from jaunty to koala then to lucid. The package manager doesnt work nothing works in terminal for apt-get or anything getting the message ---->
I have dir in my HD that is very important to me,but when I try cd commad to go in the dirI got this message:cannot access `./Lab': Input/output erroralso when use ls to view the currently dir and the other dir's also I got this message:"ls: cannot access Lab: Input/output errorLab"with touch:touch: cannot touch `Lab': Input/output errorwith mkdir:mkdir: cannot create directory `Lab': Input/output error
I use the growisofs command from the terminal to do most of my burning. Mostly because i burn almost the exact same type of file every time so its pretty easy to set up. I've done this dozens of times and never once had a problem before. I loved it because it was so much simpler than doing this in windows where i would need to install a few extra programs and codecs. That was up until today where it started failing every single time i tried to burn something.
For some reason every time i try to burn a disc it gives me this error message:
Code:
I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening. Every thread i found that discussed this problem was mostly focused on k3b or brasero and never really answered the question. As far as i know nothing has been updated since the last time i burned a disc a few days ago. Everything is exactly the same as it was when it worked. The only thing i could think of that might have caused this sudden failure is that i flashed the firmware of another cd drive using the same sata port that this drive is currently plugged into, but that was in windows so i dont see how it could have affected this drive.
I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop. I would like to erase my old xp completely and have only ubuntu as my OS. I boot from cd but when I install it stops at 15% and keeps giving me this error:
Input/output error during write on /dev/sda.
It won't let me retry or ignore and when I cancel the installation continues until I get another error.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 two days ago and was using my 1tb passport external HDD with it to download and store files. However today whenever i try and copy/cut and past to the HDD i get this error message..
Error opening file '/media/My Passport/test.avi': Input/output error This is obviously very fustrating and i want to stay with Linux but i do need to fix this problem else im afraid im going to have to back to awful windows.
I'm having some trouble installing Ubuntu 10.04. What I am trying to do is completely wipe all things on my computer and install Ubuntu. I have followed the instructions from Ubuntu's homepage on how to download the ISO, and ran their program to put it onto a portable USB device. Through doing all of this, I receive no error messages. Then it tells me to change the BIOS to boot from USB, so I did that. I've successfully accessed the install menu and filled in all the information requested (i.e. computer name, account name, etc.). I select that I want to delete the current partitions and use only Ubuntu. It starts to install, but at 67%, while copying files, I receive an error.
This error is: The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] Input/output error This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.
I got interested in it when trying to play Windows games on my Mac. I've tried WINE and didn't get anywhere fast, but thats another thread for a different forum.
For now I'd like to try Ubuntu. I downloaded the ISO and burned it to a DVD and a CD.
When booting up my computer I get this message:
I have no idea what this means. I've tried to find answers on this forum with no luck.
The computer in question: iMac8,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz 4GB Memory NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS (512 MB) MacOS 10.5.8
I just received a 1TB external(Western Digital) hard drive(NTFS) for backup purposes. I'm using an Ubuntu Live CD, and an external hard drive dock. I am transferring over esata and am receiving the error:
Code:
Cannot open file: input/output error
Seems strange that it said "open". At any rate only about 60 of the 200+ GB were able to be transferred over...this won't do. I have tried to copy via CLI using
Code:
cp -r
and received the same issue. For clarification I am attempting to transfer from a mounted partition onto the mounted external.
My dad is out of town for a while, so I've been using his computer to rip my DVDs with Handbrake. He has Windows Vista installed, so I did a full installation of Fedora 13 on a thumb drive and just run everything off of that. However, when I went to delete some of the encoded videos after I had moved them to my computer, I got a system error that said 'can't delete files: I/O error.' Now, if I try to boot up Windows, his computer is stuck on a black screen checking a bunch of dlls. He'll be back in a couple of weeks, so I'd like to have it fixed by then.
We are running an C++ application in AWS EC2 instance (CentOS 5.4) mounted with an EBS Volume (say /mymountpoint). We do more simultaneous writes to the EBS Volume from our application. But at some point we get 'ERROR: Input/output error'. After this, 'ls -l /mymountpoint' command itself fails with the i/o error. The filesystem which we use for the EBS Volume is xfs. I unmounted the drive and done xfs_check and again mounted the drive. Now, everything seems to be working fine. But the issue still persists everytime when we do simultaneous writes.
I believe the following details will be useful, [root@domU-12-31-39-07-81-36 StoreGrid]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.4 (Final) .....

I got a new HDD like a Storage on my Ubuntu ,it is formated as ext3 and i am able to mount it ,but sometimes while downloading from FTP ,when the session broke Ubuntu crates some ./afternature.mp4 Input/output error ,which i can see on "ls -l" ,and that causes great troubles to me ,because i can not copy or write on that disk another file with the same one which is created like this ,these error are gone only if i format the hdd .
My mounting command is "mount /dev/hdb3 /tmp/hd ext3 rw 0 0" So is that possible to remove these error without formatting the disk . PS:I did a lot of search for that error ,on unix forums also here but i didn`t find a concrete answer ,i found a thread which is for that case but removing with inode is impossible because on ls -l i`m not receiving the inode .
I've managed to boot up ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 using PXE, but when the installer is copying the files it fails. I've md5sum checked the iso and it is OK.

The trouble I'm having is that when I load a bootable USB/CD of 64bit 10.10, I always get an error that looks a little like: "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: input/output error. Can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdrom/casperfilesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs." I've done some googling and I've noticed people have had the same problem. They say the alternate downloads could be the problem, or the CD, and that I should use the UNetbootin application. I guess I should start with describing my build:
[code]....
I've tried:
1. Going to the DL page, DLing 64bit 10.10, and mounting the image to create a bootable CD (by the procedure offered on the DL page).
2. Using Unetbootin to create a bootable USB (this I did multiple tmes, with different versions: 10.10 64bit desktop, 10.04 64 bit desktop, and I'm about to try another DL except I forgot which one I'm using, but I'll find out in a bit )..........
I was given a CD for work purposes and when I put the disc into the drive I get 2 disc icons on my desktop. One has data (a pdf file) and the other has serveral audio tracks. I tried to use dd to image the disc but it gives an input/output error immediately without copying anything. If I try to use brasero or k3b to copy the disc it only copies the audio portion. The data portion does not show up in the drop down to copy - only the audio. If I right-click the data (or audio) desktop icon and select 'copy' from the shortcut menu then it creates an image of the audio portion.
for dd i tried: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/username/test.iso This give an immediate error with no data written to the iso file. dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/username/test.iso bs=2M conv=notrunc,noerror
This copies a small amount of data to an iso file but it wasn't usable.
So, I recently installed, or.. ermm.. Tried to install Ubuntu 11.04, I did it with a CD. This is about my 4th time around with Ubuntu, so I'm not completely new to it. But, I used to have Windows 7 on here, and I decided I wanted to go with Ubuntu, so I downloaded and burned the CD, and did all the stuff you need to do to install Ubuntu. I got far into the installation, and then the installer crashed saying something about an Input/Output error, and it could be the CD being dirty or damaged.
Now, I'm stuck with a broken operating system because I chose to replace my Windows 7 partion with Ubuntu, and there's no terminal! Everything else seems to be here, it's just really buggy, and I can't get much of anything installed.
Everytime I attempt to Install Ubuntu or Mint, I get the above error and I am unsure as to why it keeps happening. I read on other forums it can be due to your optical drive so I tried 4 different burners and 3 different types of CD's.
I know they work fine because I use them for other PC's. I've used them on windows XP, Vista, 7 and Mandriva Linux without a single problem. It's only when attempting to install Ubuntu or Mint that I get these errors and it happens every time.
In the error it also mentions that their may be a problem with your HDD, but I've used that HDD for windows xp through its whole life, I only just reformatted earlier in an attempt to install Linux.
I even threw some video DVDs at it to make sure it wasn't the disc.
Code:
[pickens@acer1 Videos]$ dd if=/dev/sr0 of=POTC.iso dd: reading `/dev/sr0': Input/output error 5088+0 records in
[code]....
I am getting the same thing on my laptop running Mandriva, oddly enough. Two different drives, two different computers, two different distros and multiple DVDs.
When running rsnapshot tonight it failed with a bunch of
cannot remove `file': Input/output error
errors.
I navigated to the directory and tried to delete it manually and I got the same errors. I tried with 'sudo rm directory'. How else can I delete this directory? What would cause a situation like this?
I'm either missing the obvious or have four identically defective tape drives. Each is a Seagate or IBM Travan drive (yes, I know they're old and I need to access the data; they were in Win boxes) using QIC-80/DC-2120 media. I've been trying to solve this using three Fedora boxes (different versions) and one Debian machine.
The OS's recognize the drives and they show up as /dev/st0.
With no media in the drives, I get a status report; with media inserted, I get the same input/output errors.
Examples (all as root):
With tape inserted:
With no tape in drive:
With tape inserted
Everything I've found on Google suggests that the drives are defective.
I wish to know what could be the possible cases for this error:cp: reading `filename': Input/output errorI am getting this message when I am trying to copy a big file of around 50MB.
