Jun 7, 2010I searched the forum with various terms and didn't find anything, so my apologies if this is a common and/or newbie problem.It seems that when I have a USB driveplugged in to switch the files around, those that I delete are still taking up space. I first noticed it with a Chinese MP3 player and thought it was the player being crappy. I could still play all the songs that were supposedly gone. Today, I noticed it with a little thumb drive that I've had for years. I plugged it into my husband's computer running winXP, and the files showed up in a weird, unusable form. I was able to delete them for real.

Jun 10, 2011I get a SD card. Put in the SD reader. It's empty. I go to my super-important-pictures-to-a-monthly-relatory folder and select all files. Select them for MOVE. Paste them on the SD card. When the move/paste process is finished, i click on the "Eject" button on top of the SD card name. Card's ejected. I can't access the card anymore. I take out the card and put on my other computer. From 300 pictures, there are only 10 available, the remaining ones are there, but with 0bytes and unrecoveable. I panic. I go back to my main computer, my pictures are not there anymore. The pictures were on the Home folder. I panic again. I reset the computer and boot on the LiveCD. I install foremost, scalpel, photorec and about everything till my USB drive complains about being filled up. I run everything and I can't recover my files. I'm in the danger of getting fired. Things like that makes Windows sounds more appealing. When you securely remove a pendrive, things get REALLY pasted there before screwing everything up with a removal.

Mar 9, 2011I have a Kingston 8gb Datatraveler that has been giving me troubles lately. For some reason after I delete files from it it still shows up as full and the files are shown in the hidden trash files. How do I get rid of these files? I can't delete them as they just show back up. Also, I tried to format the drive with gparted and it won't unmount. When I right click and select information, at the bottom it says: Unable to find mount point. Unable to read the contents of the file system. Because of this, some operations may be unavailable.

Aug 5, 2010I run whole batch of simulations and taking a lot of diskspace (8Gbytes). I have deleted them after examine the results. However, the diskspace remained the same even though i have deleted the files (rm -rf *). Sound like the program does not release the diskspace (maybe in cache or virtual memory? ). It only release the diskspace after i exit completely the program.
Is there a way to ask the program to release the diskspace without exit the program?
Networking :: Ubuntu Can't Reconnect To Gmail After ISP Restores Access / Fix It?
Dec 31, 2010Lately, my ISP has started making all Google sites inaccessible for a short time every afternoon (last 3-4 days now). I suspect some kind of DNS poisoning... access always comes back later in the afternoon.
When access does come back, non-Linux machines can connect basically right away, but my Ubuntu machine (the primary one I use) seems to need a reboot, as if wrong DNS information gets stuck in the session and the reboot clears it so that the machine can get the correct IP address.
I have not installed nscd, and IIUC the OS should not be persisting DNS cache information without that package. Every reference I can find online to clearing the DNS cache seems to depend on this package.
The objective is just to get back in touch with my Gmail without having to reboot (since e.g. OSX doesn't require a reboot for the same). What should I do?
Ubuntu :: DD Image Restores Larger Than Actual Size
Feb 13, 2011I've been working on getting another OS installed on my computer for one of my classes (OS specific assembly instructions). To get this OS running, I had to start using a GPT rather than a MBR table. I backed up my Ubuntu partition (ext4) using the old-fashioned dd command. I've since been able to get everything working again after a dd restore.
The problem is that my original Ubuntu partition was only about 50GB and the dd image only takes up 40 GB. After I restored the image to the new drive (146BG), gparted is reporting 119GB used and only 26GB free. What can I do to reduce the size of my install to 40GB again?
When looking at the disk in baobab, it says the the filesystem is only 47.2 GB and that only 20.9 GB has been used. This is likely what the old partition's breakdown was. So my new question is: How can I make the filesystem capacity (47.2 GB) equal that of the partition that it is on (146 GB)?
Ubuntu :: Mouse Freezes, Pressing Enter Restores It?
May 1, 2011Since upgrading to the final version of 64Bit Natty, I have a problem with the mouse randomly freezing, I cannot do anything with it. So far the cure is to press enter, which also sometimes starts a program or logs out, but not all the time. In fact generally it just unfreezes the mouse and I carry on!It is though rather annoying so if there is a solution to this I would appreciate it.It never happened with the Beta versions just the final one!

Feb 23, 2011I'm using a Toshiba Satellite P505 Intel dual core and 6 gig ram with 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10. Every now and then (often while using Open Office), my keyboard stops responding. I have not reliably been able to reproduce this. It seems somewhat random. Additionally, clicking on any of the Ubuntu menu items such as Places, or Applications does not pull down the menu. Mouse seems to work other than that. If I press Alt-F3 and then Alt-F7, everything returns to normal. Any ideas what is causing this or if there is a known fix?

Jan 25, 2010I did an update on one of my main computers last night. while in the update it reported "293 files to be REMOVED and 1 to be added".... it cranked away for some time and now all I get is a text login to my desktop. There is no graphics anymore. just a command line.
Is there any way to make it boot the way it used to or will I have to reinstall without formatting my hard drive (if so, how do I do this?)? I have checked and all my personal data is in tact. I was running Hardy Heron with 5.4 gigs of an 80 Gig HD free and 2 Gigs of RAM with an AMD 5000+ processor.
Ubuntu :: Where Do Deleted Files Going After Using Nautilus
Mar 22, 2010 I use XBMC a lot and recenty i have been trying to download movies i have d/l using SABNZBDPLUS. I noticed my 320GB getting low so i tried deleting the files within the folder itself but got this message "Cannot move file to the deeted items folder, do you want to delete permanently?".

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Recovering Deleted Files Of A Specific Name?
Mar 21, 2010I need to get back two avi movie files but I've deleted hundreds and any recovery might try and drop them back on my small hard disk and overwhelm it! I know the files include the word 'Archer' but I'm using Formost, which is very easy to use, but it doesn't seem to allow for the searching of specific files by name. I can recover by type ie, avi, jpeg, pdf.....
Are there any recovery programs that will list files in a table so I can pick the ones I want to recover or do a search in Terminal for my 'Archer' files?
Ubuntu :: HDD Deep Cleaning Of Deleted Files?
Jul 14, 2010Is there a way to deep clean the supposedly "empty" areas of HDD. I've found "shred" and similar tools by googling, but they allow either deleting a file or complete wipeout of a HDD. What I'd like to do is clean up what's left of already deleted files (which can probably be still "undeleted") on a live HDD (with useful data, which doesn't need to be destroyed).

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Deleted My Authentication Files For Software Sources
Jan 13, 2010I tried to include new software sources for VLC and Wine. Something went wrong and the authentication keys didn't work right, and were producing errors of authentication.
In one moment of carelessness (other word for stupidity) I deleted all the authentication keys from the software sources and of course with all the updates I am getting that software cannot be authenticated.
I clicked on "restore defaults" but still it isn't working right. I tried for example to install "Filezilla" and I got a warning that software could not be authenticated and installation stopped.
Does anyone know how I can restore all the proper authenticating keys?
