View 3 Replies View RelatedMy root partition is formatted as ext3 and I would like to perform a bad blocks scan on it. Normally e2fsck -c -c does this, but you can not run it on a mounted partition. I know it is possible to force a fsck to run at boot by creating the file /forcefsck but is it possible to specify that it should also check for bad blocks? If not, what is the recommended way to check for bad blocks on the root partition? I would like to avoid having to create a rescue disk and boot off of it.

I previously had a solid install running xmonad, and wicd was working like a charm (using the same broadcom driver) but i tinkered too much with it and decided to do a fresh install. I haven't quite run into a problem like this before.

One of the things I found really handy about the Live Ubuntu CDs is they had the option to run a memory scan on the computer. As the head of an IT department of one person in charge of maintaining 60 computers, that capability has helped me more than twice.
I think the options when running off CD/USB were Install Ubuntu, Test Ubuntu, run a memory scan, or boot off the harddrive. However, starting with Lucid and continuing with Maverick, the only options on the Live CD/USB seem to be install or try (although the memory scan is available on my Grub menu after Ubuntu is installed, unfortunately, most of the computers I am responsible for at work are Windows only).
Is there a way to start the memory scan when running a Live Lucid or Maverick CD/USB?
Is there an AV i can use to scan my windows partition to find any bugs/backdoors or viruses?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just installed 11.04 (64-bit) and I cannot scan as a user. Scanning as root works fine. My device is a Brother MFC-7420. I've installed the brscan2-0.2.5-1.amd64.deb package from the brother page. After installing this, I can run xsane as root and scan perfectly.
I could not find any instructions for enabling this as a user on 11.04, so I followed the instructions for 10.04 at [URL]...n1c.html#u9.10 and added the following between libsane_usb_rules_begin and libsane_usb_rules_end
Code:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" I then restarted udev, turned my device off and on again and tried to run xsane. I get the following error:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just bought an hp 6500 wireless printer, and after taking 5 minutes to set it up (amazing how easy it is to get hardware working that supported by Linux) I was happily printing...But- I haven't managed to get it to scan from my desktop pc running 9.04. Tells me no device is found. I added the printer to a laptop running 9.10, and it scanned perfectly straight away...
I've been through the Ubuntu help documentation and haven't found a solution.I think that maybe Turbo Print (for our old Canon printer) might have messed something up. I had to uninstall Turbo Print to get the printer to work (it hijacked Ubuntu's built in printing stuff).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm able to scan using both xsane and the HPLIP utility however I can't figure out how to respond to a Scan button press on the device itself.
In the HP Device Manager there's a section about responding to button presses on the device, but it's disabled and I haven't seen any way to enable it.
I found info about scanbuttond but it looks very out of date and I haven't been able to find anything recent that does the same thing. Is this just something that isn't supported?

I've read a bit here about making PDF's searchable using a bunch of different programs and utilities. It seams with errors and I'm not sure if it has been ironed out.I have hundreds of old documents that I need to scan. I would like to scan them to searchable PDF's. I won't have issue scanning them to plain PDF's, but how do I make them searchable. Is there a scanner available to ubuntu that will do this, currently I have simple scan.
