Ubuntu :: Recover Brasero Truncated Files?

Nov 22, 2010

I used a bootable usb (Ubuntu 10.10) to backup files from an infected windows machine. I made backup DVD's using Brasero and disabled full windows compatibility when burning them to disc. The really dumb part was I didn't check the DVD's before I reinstalled windows on the drive I was backing up. They were all there, I assumed they were ok. The files on the DVD's (mix of doc, xls, jpg, etc.) won't open in windows or Linux. Anybody know of a way to recover them? From what I've been reading, it seems like I'm screwed, but I thought I'd check with the experts. Is there a specific way Brasero/Linux changes the file, and can that info can be used to change it back? I assume it just cuts the name/header to 64 characters and I'm SOL. I'm going to see what diskdoctor's recovery software can get back from the hard drive.

Ubuntu :: Files Get Truncated On Write When No Space Left

Aug 3, 2010

If I run low on free space, and I/system need to write something, then the files are just truncated. With no way to revert to their previous content.

First I installed the Windows on the VirtualBox, it sucked up all free space, so I couldn't even login to the system afterwards.

Then I, once again, silently ran out of free space, and my php editor broke. Later I discovered that it tried to write its config files, but failed, truncating them all. I lost a half a year of configurations, custom color scheme and custom code snippets.

Then one day the system just froze. Later I understood, there wasn't enough free space for it to run.

Today I was working on my php script, for like the second day, when, again, free space ran out, so with another file-save, I got a wonderfully impressing blank php-file. It was auto-reloaded from the external change, which was failure to write to file, obviously, so no ctrl-z worked, leaving me with two days work wasted and an urge to hit the monitor

My questions are:
1 How can this be fixed? Besides the obvious awesome fix "watch your free space, buddy".
2 Could somebody explain why these sorts of things happen, just so I know why the ultra-safe and durable 'nix operating system wants to destroy itself sometimes?
3 Anyone else encountered this issue?

Ubuntu :: Brasero Crash On Burning Video Files To DVD

Apr 7, 2010

I am trying to burn a few video files to dvd using brasero, but after the burning process is about half the way through it simply disappears with no error at all. Only the terminal says

++ WARN: [brasero] Discarding incomplete final frame LPCM stream 0
++ WARN: [brasero] Discarding incomplete final frame LPCM stream 0
**ERROR: [brasero] Horizontal size is greater than permitted in specified Level.

How to burn my videos now.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Adding Data Files To A Multisession CD Using Brasero?

Jan 7, 2010

I tried the above using an existing multisession CD where data files were previously burned in a different pc using K3b. However, when the burning was completed successfully, the CD could not be read at all. I repeated the process with a blank CD choosing to leave it open in order to add more data later. All went well and the CD was readable but when I tried to add data to the same CD I got the message

Quote:

Appending new files to a multisession disc is not advised.

Already burnt files will be invisible (though still readable). Do you want to continue anyway?

I opted not to continue despite the temptation to see how invisible files can be read.

To sum it up, I find this turn of events absolutely appalling given that Brasero is the default software for CD burning in my system (Xubuntu 9.10). Can anyone tell me how to resolve this glaring shortcoming of Brasero so as to keep all my data files easily accessible in multisession CDs?

Ubuntu :: Brasero Is Unable To Find A Plug In Which Supports .MP3 Files

May 30, 2010

I have installed the Wubi version of Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell 1537 Studio laptop. Additionally, I have installed the GDK plug ins for .MP3 file support. When the installation completed, there was a message indicating the installation was successful, but it was unable to install one plug in. I am able to play .MP3's, but I can not add them to an audio disk project in Brasero. When I have Brasero do a search for the missing software, it can not find what it needs.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Delete The Truncated Backup File

Oct 28, 2010

I was doing a big backup system this morning (in Ubuntu 10.10) which was taking some time, when there was an urgent task I needed to see to, so I rashly stopped the backup with CTRL-C. Later I found that this left the recipient directory with an input-output problem, so I could not delete the truncated backup file (or any other file in the directory). I tried all sorts of chmod procedures etc., including using the usually very successful RESCUE CD from a USB pen, but nothing seemed to cure the input-output problem.

In the end, in desperation, I copied all the other files into a new directory, and then deleted the original directory from Windows 7. (I use a multiple boot system.) Windows obviously does not observe the same permissions as Linux, and it obeyed without demure! So all is now well.

Security :: Root's .bash_history Has Been Truncated To 0

Feb 9, 2010

I have a recently installed Ubuntu Karmic with standard packages. I enabled automatic security updates and manually updated every package once. I have the root account enabled. At ~1am GMT my .bash_history file for the root account has been truncated to zero. I think the PC may have crashed (no keyboard, mouse, etc, but still some HD activity) at around this time. The disk isn't full, but this is a fresh install, I do not have direct net access (NAT) and I have only visited a limited number of web sites.

Ubuntu :: Undelete Files At All Possible To Recover?

Nov 11, 2010

If not at all possible with public tools, is it possible for experts to recover the files? (as in pay someone to do it), What happened is I accidentally deleted a few folders containing family photos and my text files for work, address books etc, just personal stuff I don't have backups of. (from a ext4 partition 'root')

Feel free to call me stupid, but I didn't notice I had deleted them before I did the following... I ended up copying enough data to the ext4 partition which completely filled it (less than 1mb remained), once I backed those up I deleted them (trash empty) a few days later I ran sfill to erase the originals.

Yesterday I burnt a couple of CD's with Brasero. Project completed successfully.

There is also a box open which promts me to rename/not rename for full Windows or Linux comaptabilty. As of right now I cant get rid of Brasero and get to any folders/files.

Ubuntu Networking :: SSL Handshake Failed - Secure Connection Truncated

Jun 16, 2010

I'm having a problem with Subversion. When I try an "svn up" it gives me this error message:
SSL handshake failed: Secure connection truncated
I'm running Ubuntu 10/4 but I also had this problem with 9/10. Does anyone know what this error message means? It appears to be an SSL problem but it's not clear to me what exactly the problem is. I do not have this problem with svn on my other office computer, nor my home computer. FYI, I'm running subversion on the Regina project.

The full error message is this:
Code:
svn up
svn: OPTIONS of '[URL]': SSL handshake failed: Secure connection truncated [URL]. Although I don't think there's anything specific to Regina about this svn problem, as I mentioned, I can "svn up" from home, or from my other office computer.

Recently, due to hard disk failure, some of the System files got corrupted, I have no idea to which files, but booting Ubuntu from the latest kernel is not working, instead I have to select the previous version from the grub screen.

How to recover these files? Is there a way by which Ubuntu automatically scans and repairs the system files.

Ubuntu :: Rebuild Directory Structure And Recover Files?

Sep 2, 2010

I have a drive with an NTFS partition where all the files were deleted. What I'm looking for is a way to rebuild the directory structure and recover the files. I really, really want the directory structure as the partition contains 460 Gigs of data. Normally I would use the tools here: [URL] but I've never dealt with this much data before. Everything there that I've used creates a pretty messy dump however.

I have used ntfsundelete before but only for a few files at a time. I have no idea what would happen if I tried to run it on a partition of that size. I'm comfortable with data recovery but this amount of data is beyond me. I've run ntfsundelete with no args and from what I can tell of skimming the pages of output all the files are fine. The partition has not been written to.

Ubuntu :: Recover Files From Win7 After Full Installation

Sep 19, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu in full installation. But then my Windows 7 file went bye-bye. I tried to see if everything were really erased from my drive. But then it showed that I'm still using 40G out of 250G of my disk. Why is it like that? Can those file still be recovered? My Windows 7 loader was actually erased. Can I still install Windows 7 even if Ubuntu already used the whole drive? And also, how can I delete partitions to make my HDD turn into a whole and single Drive before I install Windows 7?
