Ubuntu :: DVD Writing Is Broken In 10.10?
Oct 17, 2010I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 amd64, and can't get DVD creator to work. I just slide in a blank DVD-R, and copy/paste the files onto it, and click "write on disc", the usual way... It does it, and then goes on with a checksum calculation which is almost longer than the copy itself. And then it says the copy failed, and sure enough, all files are corrupted.
PS: I don't know how it happens, but with every new relase of Ubuntu they break something with UDF DVDs.
10.04 couldn't read UDF DVDs until the RC stage, a few days before the actual release (they'd broken the /etc/fstab)10.10 couldn't read UDF in the early beta stages. And now even after release it still can't burn data DVDs.
Ubuntu :: Live Cd Writing To Xp Partition?
Feb 19, 2010I had occasion to boot Ubuntu livecd yesterday on a Dell machine with XP installed. I pressed the Escape key during boot to see what might be happening behind the Graphic ...... and got a rather upsetting surprise ..... ... apparently Ubuntu was reading and writing to the XP partition ..... without any notification to me. I don't have the exact wording to hand, but what is said was that the XP install was 'dirty' and it was fixing it .... fixed! I used a 9.10 CD. Is there any information out there that addresses this behaviour? Is there a way to boot the CD and prevent this from happening? I do not expect or want ANY liveCD to write to ANY partition on ANY PC I might boot using that liveCD without my explicit permission/instruction. That this liveCD did write to a partition without asking or informing me is sufficient cause for me never to use such a liveCD again.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Writing Cache In USB Pendrives
Feb 23, 2010Whenever I plug-in my USB 8gb pendrive to copy a large file, it takes eons. Using Ubuntu 9.10 for AMD64. At first it copies a file at high speeds, because it's not actually writing to the USB but to the cache; at 500-700mb, the write cache is full and flushes, *while* still copying the rest of the file. Since the system is trying to access the USB in two different places at the same time, the transfer speed bunks down, often to 200-300kb/s. The final process, instead of taking 2 minutes, takes one hour.
This continues until 1.4gb, when the cache finishes the flush, the copy can continue streamlined and the last 200-300mb are copied again at quicker speeds. I've made a test, copying a 1.6gb file to the USB and waiting for the cache to get full. Once it happens, I copy another file of the same size to the USB at the same time, when it starts copying I cancel the previous copy - cancelling it could take 1-2 minutes, but once it's cancelled, the second copy goes amazingly quick since the pendrive doesn't have any access troubles anymore.
However, that means for the trick to work that I can't copy four 1.6 files to the 8gb pendrive, but only three. The fourth one would need an hour unless I start copying it just before the first three finish so the write cache is still not in use or something like that. So what I would want is that everytime I plug-in this specific USB drive (identified by its label or UUID), the automount parameters disable write caching for this drive. Is that feasible? Using fstab or how?
Ubuntu :: Less Advanced GRUB When Writing ISO To USB?
May 22, 2010I've rolled a custom version of the live CD, and everything's going great on it.I was asked to make it a bootable USB stick as well.This was simple enough by installing UltraISO on my Windows box and writing the ISO to a USB stick through the 'Bootable' menu. But for some reason it boots up to a slightly less-pretty version of GRUB.That's all well and good, but now the language selection menu is gone. Is there any way to get that menu in the less-pretty GRUB? At the very least, is there a way to hard-code the language there so certain people have sticks with certain languages?

Jan 24, 2011I have a flash card that has been corrupted and have obtained a working .img file. I was told that I could not just drag and drop the .img to the card and that it needs to be written bit by bit to the new card. I am unfamiliar with the Linux terminal and would like to know what command or a how to get the .img file written to it. The .img file is now residing on the desktop.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Jdb Constantly Writing To Disk
Aug 7, 2011I've just completed a fresh install on natty, and I'm seeing constant disk writes of around 1Mb every couple of seconds.
I looked at iotop to find the culprit, and it seems to be the journalling manager for the ext4 filesystems:
Code:
215 be/3 root 0.00 B/s 19.23 K/s 0.00 % 5.89 % [jbd2/sda1-8]
Is there something I can do to adjust this behaviour somehow? I'm a bit concerned about wearing the disk out before its time...
Ubuntu :: Systems Get Slow When Writing To Disk?
Jan 18, 2010This is a curiosity of mine, and I expect a technical answer, if someone knows it. Why the systems become so irresponsive when doing hard-disk input and output? This happens even if writing is done to a secondary disk where neither the system or the swap are stored.
View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Writing A Script That Unzips An Archive?
Apr 8, 2010I'm writing a script that unzips an archive, edits it, and zips it back up.
That being said, I've got it all figured out except for the zipping it back up.
Code:
unzip file.zip -d /tmp/foobar
##regexes###
Now when i get to zipping the files back up, I don't want to include the /tmp/foobar directory I created. I want it to have the same tree as before.
I've gotten two commands to come close, but not what I want.
Code:
zip -r /tmp/file.zip /tmp/foobar/*
- this zips up the folders and files within /tmp/foobar/ however, it includes the /tmp/foobar tree.
Code:
zip -rj /tmp/file/zip /tmp/foobar/*
- this gets rid of the directories, however, it gets rid of ALL the directories, and doesn't preserve any within /tmp/foobar.
Now, by default zip will ignore /tmp/foobar if you're in that directory and running zip from there. But since this is a script I don't want to be limited to where I can run the script, or lower my standards to including changedirectory lines in my script. It seems to me like I should be able to 1-liner it.
Ubuntu :: Reading/writing Ext3 Partition From XP?
May 9, 2010I've used ext2ifs drivers to mount my ext3 partition in winxp, but I don't have write acces, it's mounted in a read-only mode, and i didn't check the rad-only box during the installation of the drivers. [URL] It's a straithfoward proces so I dont understand what I did wrong. I'm using fresh xp install with (more or less) all the updates and ubuntu 10.04 Also the partition is mounted at /home, so I dont know if that makes any difference.

Ubuntu :: 10.4 Firefox Highlighing Bug - Writing Text
Jul 15, 2010I'm having problems with writing text. It usually happens in the google search bar next to the address bar in firefox. The text sometimes automatically highlights itself at what appears to be random intervals, so i usually end up with the last part of a word (which is usually over-writing the first half, which was highlighted). This is extremely annoying as i have no clue what i could have done to cause this.

Feb 27, 2011Is it possible to forbid that more then one user open the same file in rw mode? In windows when you open a file that another user is using, there's ad advise and you have to open it in read only mode
I installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition on 3 pc (there is not a server-client architecture). I installed samba.(and smbfs)
put the strings:
[name]
comment = ...
path = /...
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask =0777
Computers that access to that directory do (on boot, with root privileges)
mount -t smbfs -o username="user",password="pass" //192.168.0.12/name /mnt/cartelladimontaggio
But if two users access to the same file, both are authorized writing on it! So changes made by one are lost when the other save.

Ubuntu :: Slow Network Speed When Writing To Server?
Jan 13, 2010I have just formated and did a fresh install to start all over. I installed Ubuntu 9.1 and everything went fine but the network. The computer serve as a NAS and MediaPlayer. When getting a file from the server, I get a speed of 40-60mb/sec, which are good for a Gigabit network. When I try to put a file in, the speed can't pass more than 1mb/sec and often stop.
Here's the network info:
Code:
vric@XBMC:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:8c:a1:eb:55
inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::224:8cff:fea1:eb55/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

Edit: Looks like it's a Gigabit Problem. I connected the Ubuntu box to my Linksys router which is 10/100 and everything is MUCH faster.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Rhythmbox Not Writing Playlist To IPod?
Feb 28, 2010I love how Rhythmbox connects quickly and easily to my iPod, and how Rhythmbox does a pretty solid job of keeping track of changes to my library, though it is large. But I cannot seem to create playlists on the iPod through Rhythmbox. When I create them, I can see them in Rhythmbox, but when I unplug the iPod and try to play them, they don't show up. I plug the iPod back in, and Rhythmbox acts like they're there - I can even play the Playlist from the iPod in Rhythmbox.
Is there something I need to do to "write" the Playlist to the iPod from Rhythmbox? It is so irritating to have to create an "on the go" playlist on the iPod and then fire up Rhythmbox and rename it what i want it to be.

Ubuntu :: Writing To External Media Is Slow To Finalize?
May 21, 2010I have a USB hub on my desk, and also a multi-card reader in the front-panel of the computer (connected to a USB PCI card).
I have found that when I write files to a USB "thumb" drive plugged into the USB hub, or to a card in the multi-card reader (I have tried SD, SDHC, CompactFlash and MMC) the file is written quickly. The progress bar that appears on the screen goes to almost 100%, but then stops...
If I try to unmount the filesystem (either umount on the command line, or MB3 and eject or unmount option) I get a message that the device is busy. Sometimes, this stays busy for three minutes.
The filesystems on these cards are almost always FAT32; they are for digital cameras, media players, or are for exchanging files between home and office (where I use WinXP).
