Ubuntu :: USB Drive Duplicated After Upgrade
Jun 7, 2010
I have a USB hard drive that is called "My Book", which was listed in the Media folder whenever it was connected. Since I upgraded to Lucid, I now have a permanent folder/drive called "My Book" with an X over the folder icon, and whenever I connect the hard drive, it is given the name "My Book_". I can't change anything about the new, permanent folder; apparently I don't have permission. This has meant that all the applications that linked to files on the hard drive - Banshee etc - can no longer find the files because the hard drive now has a different name.
Does anyone know why this has happened and what I can do to fix it - ie. get rid of this new 'drive'. I'm guessing that the reason the underscore is added when I plug the drive in is due to the existing, redundant but unmoveable, drive icon.

why my data is being duplicated. I store all my data in BOB so the 26.2 GB of data is expected. I don't store anything in .ecryptfs so the 26.2 GB of data is completely unexpected. Could you please explain why this is happening and how to fix it.

I was trying to install some Windows applications in Wine/PlayOnLinux. The result was not very useful for what I wanted and I removed all the application including wine and Playonlinux completely from my computer (9.10 64bit).But I was not really able to completely clean up what I did because when I right click on any files and use "OPEN WITH", I got a LONG list of application with many of them are uninstalled and duplicated.

I am trying out Xubuntu 10.04 but after I installed "Gnome-desktop" package to include gnome support I now have duplicated entries on my start menu. Does anyone know how to purge these duplicates? (a terminal based de-duplicating command would be very handy).

I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.10 and simultaneously added 4 new hard drives. However I can not read or write to any of the disks (without sudo). They are also showing up twice (mounted and removable on top, unmounted underneath) in the "Places" menu. Of course I want them to be mounted, not removable, R/W'able and only show up once. Here'a a screenshot of where I'm at:I believe I set up fstab correctly:
Code:
# /
UUID=4204d07b-c450-4461-a001-1ef6d4ecb1a3 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap
UUID=bd1aaecb-ab8c-4f44-ab22-fe25893f671b none swap sw 0 0
#DVD/CDROM
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
[Code]...

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic). And, my ~/.pam_environment looks like the following.
PATH DEFAULT=${PATH}:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux
GIT_EDITOR DEFAULT=vim
MANPATH DEFAULT=${MANPATH}:~/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/man
INFOPATH DEFAULT=${INFOPATH}:~/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/info
But, echo $PATH returns me duplicated entries as the following.
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux
I've tried replacing DEFAULT by OVERRIDE in my ~/.pam_environment file. But, that didn't help.

The (WD 320GB) drive has a single ext3 FS on it. It has had some problems in the past, but all were fixed with fsck -y. Now there are several directories with duplicate filenames. The files with duplicated names are hard links of each other, but the names are identical. I've run several diagnostics over them, looking for, eg, non-printing characters in the name, but they are completely identical. Here are some examples:
[code]....
These are (obviously) from a directory of mp3s, but similar duplications occur throughout the fs - there are several thousand files affected. Some of the diagnostics were programmes I wrote that accessed the directory itself (through the dirent structure). I always thought duplicate filenames in the same directory were impossible in unix/linux; this appears to prove me wrong. Am I missing something? (Kernel version 2.4.20 with xfs extensions. The installation was originally Red Hat 7, but I've changed almost everything, so it's probably more accurate to call it a custom distro.)

I reckon I waste several tens of gigabytes of storage by holding unwanted copies of personal data and media files over very many partitions. Sometimes they will have identical names, dates and sizes. Other times they may be slightly different in terms of metadata but nonetheless essentially identical in respect of content. It is becoming a nightmare. Any suggestions for how best to get rid of these unwanted files?

I was looking in a dir I haven't used for a while (I use it for data storage) and found a directory was repeated - that is, two directories with the same name. I renamed one of them, on the assumption that one of them has a non-printing character in its name, and that worked without a problem, but ls -i lists their inodes as the same. ls -l says they both have two inodes (. and ..), and the files they contain have the same names. The inodes of the files is the same (that is, the inode of a file in dir A is the same as the file of the same name in dir B.) Each file in each dir is listed as having only one inode, but it's the same as that in the other dir.

I synced my Music Folders on all my computers with rsync. Now when I open Rhythmbox it shows the mp3s as duplicated. So, every album will have two of track 1 and two of track 2 and so on except for the new records and files that were put into that computers Music Folder because they weren't there before.
So, obviously I am doing something wrong with the path of the files/folders because the rsync must be giving the same file different paths or tags or some such. I know from google searching that Rhythmbox will not display duplicates that are true duplicates.
So, short of simply deleting my music folder on every computer and then putting all of the songs back into it... is there anything I can do?
I should mention that the files/folders are not in reality duplicated. I checked both in the folders and also I opened a folder with VLC and it produced a list of tracks that was not duplicated. Its only Rhythmbox that shows them as duplicates.
I am talking about Rhythmbox on my Fedora 13 64 bit installation.

I noticed this weird behaviour yesterday after the last update (not sure if it's really related, but I didn't notice this before).When I do a fresh start and log in - all the gnome related processes are DOUBLED in the memory Of course it causes weird errors, applet hanging or crashes, very sensible slowness while booting and operating, etc, etc.Basically I have 2 gnome-session loaded at once - one as a child process of gdm-binary and another separate one. Both sessions have all the child process loaded, so I turned out to have 2 Nautilus, 2 Metacity, 2 Gnome-panel, 8 python processes and all the set of applets are also doubled.

My execution environment is Linux steamboy 2.6.31-21-generic-pae #59-Ubuntu SMP.If I log in and run a program, the program works properly. The program is a shell script, which executes an environment file, so that path and library settings point correctly.If I have cron run the same program as the same user who logged in, one of the libraries cannot be found. I have sourced .bashrc and the same environment setting file, even though .bashrc executes the same environment file . /home/amr/bin/informix_env.sh

I'm trying to create a USB drive installation with Ubuntu 10.04 on it so I can update from Xubuntu 8.04. Unfortunately I can't even get the USB to appear. I'm new to xubuntu/ubuntu so I know that drives need to be mounted or something, but my 500Gb external drive showed up just fine when it was switched on. Also, does xubuntu not come with the Startup Disk Creator? I can't seem to find it if it does.

I have two external USB Drives, a 100GB one and a 120GB. I run Ubuntu 9.04 with no fixed hard drives attached using the 100GB USB Drive. I have no issues what so ever with this configuration. When installing I simply had no fixed hard drives attached. Plugged in the 100GB USB Drive. Booted from the Ubuntu 9.04 CD and pointed to the 100GB USB Drive to perform the install on. After install completed removed the Ubuntu 9.04 CD. Booted from the 100GB USB Drive and Ubuntu 9.04 was up and running.
Had been running Ubuntu 9.04 off the 100GB USB Drive for months with no fixed hard drives attached for months with no issues. Then Ubuntu 9.10 was available. So I upgraded. After upgrade completed when it booted all kinds of errors displayed and it would not function at all. So I simply reinstalled from the Ubuntu 9.04 CD as described above. Was up and running on Ubuntu 9.04 again with no issues.
Then I went ahead and bought a 120GB USB Drive to experiment with Ubuntu 9.10. Booted with the Ubuntu 9.10 CD and installed to the 120GB USB Drive with no fixed hard drives attached. During the install there are no issues. But once I try to boot from the 120GB USB Drive with Ubuntu 9.10 once again all kinds of errors are displayed and it just won�t function. Ubuntu 9.04 will run on a USB Drive with no fixed hard drives attached. (Been doing this for months) I have also done this with prior versions of Ubuntu. So what is the difference between Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10 that would cause this? In the future when there is a new release of Ubuntu will it support run on a USB Drive with no fixed hard drives attached?
Or am I stuck with running Ubuntu 9.04 if I want to continue running Ubuntu on a USB Drive with no fixed hard drives attached? BTW: My 100GB USB Drive still has Ubuntu 9.04 installed in it. My system is continuing to run like a champ with Ubuntu 9.04 with no fixed hard drives attached using the 100GB USB Drive.

I have an LG DVD+RW and an older DVD drive...FSTAB contains the following:
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
I see a cdrom0 in "Places", but get the following error when access:
"Unable to mount cdrom0. mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0"
I do see the following mount points in the filesystem under media:
/media/cdrom0
/media/cdrom1
I assum my fstab entry is incorrect... not sure how to resolve though. I'd like to get my DVD+RW working, so I can burn a Live CD and re-install from scratch instead of upgrade.

I have a Dell Latitude D630 onto which I applied an installation of Ubuntu 9.10 on an 8GB external USB hard disk (mechanical, not FLASH) with now problems. It has been working beautifully, but I upgraded last night to Ubuntu 10.04. I had it run overnight and believe that I ran out of hard disk space, as I have less than 100MB left on the drive.
-I'd like to ensure that the installation completed properly so that I can run it for further modification/repair/reinstall.
-I know that this free space is inadequate and would like to either properly remove unneeded files or restart with a minimal installation of Ubuntu 10.04.

I'm running ubuntu Lucid Lynx on an asus K50IJ series laptop. I'd had jaunty before and made a fresh install of lucid. My CD drive had been fine in jaunty, but doesn't mount any more in lucid. I have found numerous threads with promising-looking titles, but they either do not match my problem or their solutions don't work for me.
This is my situation: The disc will turn for a bit after inserting, then stop. During that, the little light on the drive will flash a few times, then wink out. So I guess the power supply's fine.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. For some hardware problem I could not upgrade my Ubuntu to 10.10. Now the problem is solved. I have the ISO image file of 10.10 (ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso). As I live in Bangladesh, there I have to use a slow connection. So, It will take long time if I have to upgrade online. Is there any way for me to upgrade my version of Ubuntu using the ISO image file?

I have not been able to clone my drive since the upgrade to Natty. This was never a problem for me in 'any' previous distro. I have a dual boot Windows 7/Natty system; and I never have a problem with the Windows partition getting cloned. partclone (Clonezilla) crashes about an hour and 15 min into the cloning of the Ubuntu partition. I'm getting a "buffer-overflow" error. I'm using clonezilla-live-1.2.5-35-amd64; and have been since Lucid. I've recently downloaded clonezilla-live-1.2.8-42-amd64.iso and am burning it to DVD now. I don't know if this is going to help; but I'm ready to try anything; as this is my only means of disaster recovery! During the reboot into Natty, I received some error messasges stating that there were inode problems. I don't know if this was on the source or destination drive; as I still had the destination drive connected to my USB port. Then I started thinking... What package, that wasn't there in Maverick, that is present in Natty messes with inodes???
Then I thought ZeitGeist So I ripped it and everything connected to it out-by-roots and tried running Clonezilla again; but no luck...Has anyone else had this problem; and what can I do about it I've replaced all of the relevant hardware; and two days and $500 later, I still don't have a solution.

I recently upgraded from openSUSE 11.0 to 11.3. I had a backup archive before the upgrade and wanted to make another one today. I can't because the destination external hard drive is only 500gb. The Yast backup said I had over 300 tb to back up! - which can't be since the physical hard drive is only 40gb. So I attempted to do the same thing from the command line and got the same result.
I started going through the directories, looking at properties. I found that /proc and /var/lib/ntp show 128 tb of unknown and unreadable data.

I upgraded 9.10 to 10.04 via the weekly update reminder. All went went on the install and the GRUB menu looks normal; however, the bottom line is Windows XP and when selected will not load Win XP on a separate hard drive. As soon as I click the XP line, the screen goes blank with a flashing cursor in the top left corner. It remains in that condition as long as the desktop has power. What other information can I provide to get some help bringing up XP?

I have a real love/hate relationship with Ubuntu. A few weeks back my Windows XP crashed and I had to take it to a tech to have my drive wiped and the operating system reinstalled. Just when I got XP back up and working perfectly someone told me to try Ubuntu. I made the Ubuntu 10.10 boot installation disc and installed it. Although I partitioned the drive during the install I was never able to reboot to Windows and thus lost all the files and programs I had just finished installing.
Okay. long story short: I got used to running Ubuntu and started to like it. Then this morning I was prompted to upgrade to Natty 11.04. After the install I got a message about being low on utilities and to boot in the Ubuntu Classic mode, which I was not able to do.
So now my machine is virtually non-functional. It won't run any programs but sometimes if I'm lucky I can get the computer to shut off without pulling the plug from the wall. I think I just need to wipe the drive and start over. Can someone tell me how to do this using DOS without having to make another long trip to my tech? Luckily I have a Windows XP laptop to use to access this forum.

I just upgraded to 10.04. I went with the option of upgrading grub as well, should of just stuck with the old one I guess. I have 2 seperate physical hard drives, and now I can't get vista running on my other drive. I get to grub, choose the run vista option, and now it just blinks one underscore line in the top left corner of the black screen, and goes nowhere. When I was installing the upgrade, and when I got to the grub upgrade i tried to upgrade all teh different options in grub. All of them worked except the last one, and it warned me, that one of boot options in grub didn't install properly and may cause my OS not to start up. I guess that must of been the vista option.
