Ubuntu :: Filepath To Other Part Of The Harddrive?
Oct 13, 2010
i have 4 different harddriveparts (i hope that is the correct translation), on my PC, one for the OS (ubuntu) and 3 others for programms and documents for example. But now i need to go in a folder on another part in the console.
The other part has the id E61441A014417519, so i would guess that the order you have to enter would be: "cd mediaE61441A014417519folder" and then i would be "in" the folder, but the console said that there is not even a folder named "E61441A014417519".

I'm trying to batch encode some old mpeg2 vids to x264. After much playing around, I've finally found some settings that work across the board in preserving quality. The good news is the converted vids are about half the size.
I'm using handbrake to do this and with over a thousand clips, converting via the gui would be way too time consuming. Naturally CLI is much faster for something like this. I've found all the flags and arguments to pass to handbrake
So, suppose my vids are in ~/MyVideos. I want to store my converted vids in ~/ConvertedVids. The problem is that there is a whole folder hierarchy after ~/MyVideos that goes several levels deep; I want to preserve this. In handbrake, the output file is a parameter like so:
Code:
handbrake_cli -i input_file -o output_file
I know stripping away the filepath upto ~/MyVideos/ should be trivial with awk. I don't know awk and was wondering if someone here could give me the command I need.

i've worked with Linux for a while now, but never in a double boot kind of way (except using wubi), and i'm still kind of a newby.i have 2 harddrivesfirst one has only 1 partition; Windows XPsecond one has 1 empty partition, simple storageand another partition where i installed fedora core, and GRUB is also located on this harddrive.I changed harddrive priority to my second harddrive, result:GRUB comes up, no problem, but when I try to boot windows, it tells mentldr is missing ctrl alt del to continueso i changed the harddisk priority back to the way it was, where the first drive containing windows is first priority... but then, no GRUB.i've tried editing the grub conf,i've tried fixboot/fixmbrtl;dr:no ntdlr when linux harddrive is main priorityno grub when windows harddrive is main priority

I just used dd to clone a linux partition to a new hard drive, it had 800mb left on the old hard drive, after dd, new hard drive lists 1.29/1.3 terabytes full. Is this what happens by default in dd? How can I fix this?

I'm trying to figure out how to access the local part and the domain part of an email address in postfix's main.cf. For example, myname@mydomain.net has myname as the local part and mydomain.net as the domain part.I get the whole email address with %s. I want to speed up the lookups by writing better database queries.I've had no luck finding this in the otherwise well documented postfix.

we have access to one domain name , 1 internet ip address and may servers hosting different part of site. I want them all to be accessed via same web site . some of the server in our network are embedded devices.they have their specific utility being hosted on that machine. So the severs are bound to be distributed . I just wanted to know how can I access them via single ip, domain name.

In bootseqence of linux, the first step is check the CMOSRAM(size 64bytes) setup for custmor setting. So i am just confused wether CMOSRAM is a part of motherboard or is a part of RAM itself.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and recently installed Linux Mint on an other partition. I am now finding that when I boot up I get a message that Grub is unable to find a hard-dirve that does not exist.
how to tell Grub (or is it something/where else) not to look for a non-existent hard drive?

I have two harddrives installed on my HTPC. I am using the smaller (120gb) to run the OS (kubuntu 10) the larger (1 tb) I want to use to store all of my media.
However....
The second hard drive has THREE linux Distros on it (from me testing and playing and making decisions) and I CANT figure out how to get them off.....
The hard drives are SATA and plugged in in the correct order.
I have tried fdisking and reformating which seemed to work, but when I boot it still asks me which OS i want to boot to.
Right now I am trying to zero out the hard drive by using ths
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
I typed that in as root about 15 minutes ago and hit enter. it hasn't said anything since. no command prompt or anythng. I am hoping it is working, we will see.

I thought I installed properly, but once again I've made a mistake. I'm trying to make use of the 114 gb I didn't assign as file system space, but I can't seem to access it or write to it. I've officially run out of space in my file system and I've got a lot to do still. Any thoughts on how to make the unused partition accessable?

I tossed a 500GB hard drive into my machine (Ubuntu 64 8.10) so that I could back some files up. This drive when last used was part of a software RAID (no longer in use.) I deleted the partition that was on it, and tried to reformat using Gparted to ext3...but it won't work. The only error message I get is that it failed. Details do not provide any additional information. I went to the command line and attempted to mount it just to see what would happen, and I got this:
Code:
~$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/backup1
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
Apparently, it still thinks it's part of the RAID. What can I do to erase and reformat this drive?

During the installation of Ubuntu from a LiveCD my harddrive doesn't seem to be detected. I cannot create partitions. I used Gparted to shrink my Windows partition. There's 23 GiB of unallocated space, but it's not being detected.

I have a Seagate Expansion external drive.
It won't load as it is NTFS. Am I okay to reformat it using GParted? I'm unable to get the drive up in a window, but GParted can see it.

I ran Windows on this computer but it decided it wanted to die on me yesterday, so right now I'm using a Ubuntu Live CD. I wanted to save my files before I install Ubuntu on this harddrive, but when I click on 'Computer', I can't see my harddrive. However, if I go to Disk Utility I am able to see the drive: Unknown (500GB) and Unknown (490GB). I cannot access any of the partitions, so I tried to mount them. When I do that, I get the message code...
The same goes with /sda1/ which kind of sucks. I also tried with /sda/ but it didn't work either. I should probably also mention that when I try to run the Ubuntu installer it shows my harddrive, but no partitions.

i signed up for an online storage website because i want to clear up some harddrive space. the way they upload is java based and whenever i get to the upload page i get the message at the top of the screen that says "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." when i click on "install missing plugins" it tells me "no suitable plugins were found." obviously i need to manually install something, what should i install? i cant always understand the descriptions in synaptic.

My first post, and I'm an Ubuntu n00b. But I've done a lot of reading and still can't seem to get anywhere with this. First of all. I know that I've set Samba up correctly because I can create a share in /home/documents which is mounted on my primary hard drive /dev/sda1, Windows 7 can access it no problem. But, when I try to set up a Samba share on my second hard drive /dev/sdb1, Windows 7 cannot access it. I've mounted the share in /media/Share The error I get in Window 7 is: " Windows cannot access \HOMESERVERData Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network."
My first thought is I must have the hard drive mounted or formatted incorrectly, but I can't find anything on this forum to tell me otherwise. I feel like I need to restart the process of this Samba set up. Can someone please guide me through: reformatting sdb1, mounting sdb1, setting up my smb.conf, fstab, and any other config files required to use my second hard drive as a Samba share?

I cannot find this usb-creator. I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 x64 to a laptop harddrive using a USB drive. I think this is what I need but I am not sure. I tried mounting an ISO of Ubuntu, but did not find usb-creator. I tried some "sudo apt-get install usb-creator" command (cannot remember exact syntax, but the install succeeded) but I cannot find the installed application. If this is indeed the utility that I need, where do I find it?

Im trying to run Arch Linux off Oracle vm virtualbox and everything going fine until It wants to wipe my entire hard drive. To be fully honest im afraid to touch it. I feel like it might bite my finger off if I poke at it in my usual way (first time ever using VM) so I was wondering if anyone has any tips or advice for me. Maybe someone elce has tryed this before and can tell me my computer wont explode when I partition. (I know it wont but I only have 1 computer and afraid to ruin it with my "experiments" cant afford a new one) I think because its VM it will only partition the space I set for it when I started the VM box. Just looking to be safe before I try it

My Ubuntu 10.04 freezes continually when it starts accessing the HDD. I will be working normally, then when i switch windows, it will suddenly access the HDD and spin up for 4 to 7 mins. I can't access anything during this period. The processor is generally only 1-5% impacted during this. I think its accessing the swap.
I admit, it's an older computer with only 2gb of RAM. Wondering how to debug this and if I should install an older version of Ubuntu to fix the issue. I've tried three different harddrives, so i know it's not errors on the disk.

I want to backup my entire harddrive and I assume the easiest way to do it is using Clonezilla.
Clonezilla makes an image file....but how do you get the image onto multiple DVD's? When burning the image file does K3B allow you to "change the full DVD" and add another disk?
In other words- any harddrive I have (already filled with 79 Gb) is going to make an image bigger than something that can fit onto a DVD.

I installed Ubuntu on a portable harddrive so that I can use it independently of my computer (when I visit my parents or my g/f). I performed the installation using a bootable Ubuntu thumbdrive, everything went fine but when I unplugged the thumbdrive and rebooted I got a kernel panic. I was able to boot into Ubuntu on my external drive once (I think it might have been due to reordering boot order in BIOS). My guess is that the kernel panic occurs due to the drive letter changing (sdb -> sdc) depending on which external devices are plugged in, but I'm not sure how to make sure that's the case. And if it is, how would I prevent this from happening?
