Ubuntu :: Unable Drop 8gb Iso Files In To The Hdd?
Dec 10, 2010
i bought a internal 2 tb and planned to use it for storage so i got a enclosure for it. i noticed that i was unable drop 8gb iso files in to the hdd. so to fix this i formated it to ext3/4 i did this by right clicking on the drive and format ext3/4. i am building a computer and now need to use the hdd as a main drive for my comp. so want to install win7 on there. i have no were to drop the data off(roughly 1.4tb). i went into disk ultitry to check if i could made the partition smaller and it showed me this: [URL].. basically saying that the drive isnt partitioned at all. i tried to install win7 on there another way by booting from disk and seeing if the disc would allow me to install it on my drive and win7 denied. i dont know what to do.
I'd like to put a few MP3s on it but I'm not able to connect to the phone via USB on my xubuntu box to drop files onto it. It works on my company computer (Windows XP) so I know it's not a problem with the phone.
I'm still somewhat of an ubuntu noob so it may be a quick fix that I have overlooked/don't understand yet. Once I plug the phone in to the box, I tell Android to enable USB storage and mount the drive. Here's the error I get afterwards:

Failed to mount "3G Removable Volume".
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.
Here's the settings set in Storage Device Manager:
I ran the Oracle .deb, but it didn't give me the chance to specify where to put the files.I have an SSD for my databases, so /usr/* isn't where I want Oracle. I was able to run the uninstall, but I've not found a way to specify the directory to drop the files.
I'm currently having trouble getting a desktop to run Ubuntu.Booting up the Ubuntu Live disk delivers the error (There was an unresolvable error.Dropping you into a live environment).After the Live CD boots I'm able to partition/install from within Gnome.I proceeded to install 10.04 and update the system.After updating everything and the kernel I lose the ability to boot the system as it will totally freeze just as it auto-logs in.I'm unable to drop into a virtual console.
I tried the alternative CD thinking it would help and every install/test option besides MemTest86+ displays the crypic: Floppy Unknown Error(233)I don't use a floppy and this error doesn't show up anywhere, but in a dapper bug report.The bios is configured correctly.The HD (I've tried two) and memory are in good condition.
I'm trying to drag and drop apps from my applications menu and into cairo dock, but the icon won't drag, it did in karmic but i don't think lucid lets me, how do i enable that.
With a default 11.4 (64bit) installation with Gnome - and using the 11.4 one click installer on VideoLAN - VLC: Free streaming and multimedia solutions for all OS! - the 11.3 integration seems to have worked better.
The first issue is that it's no longer automatically integrated into the right click context menu of movie files.
This integration happened in 11.3.
The second, which I think is user error but I really cannot get it to work is dragging and dropping files does not work.
-> Open Nautilus -> Navigate to folder with movie files -> Open VLC -> Click on a file in Nautilus and try and drag it onto VLC
The VLC is hidden during the file click and drag, so a drag to the bottom panel is required to try and activate VLC - however, VLC is never activated. I have tried different positions on screen but still over the VLC entry to try and activate it, but nothing happens.
This same sequence on 11.3 correctly activates VLC so I can drag and drop.
A workaround on 11.4 is to make VLC "Always on top" via the right click menu on the VLC title bar.
I realise KPDF is quite old now but as this issue may recur when I move to a newer distro (well, newer than Hardy) with Okular I thought I'd better ask.I use Gnome, but prefer KPDF to evince when viewing PDF files. However, KPDF's "Open Recent" list behaves very oddly - there's no apparent way to clear it, and items which were on the list one day aren't on it another day (coinciding with old items reappearing on the list).
Is there any way to clear this list?Similarly, is there any way to clear the list of recently opened files in the "Location" drop-down box in File-Open? (which also seems to mysteriously lose list items inbetween reboots).
when i used windows there was this wonderful editor named Notepad++.it was perfect(it still is) some of its best and useful features of it (for me) was:
1-open all files in a folder when drag and drop the folder on it 2-search and replace a statement in all open files 3-have an extended mode which include special characters like
and so on.. i want to know if there is an editor with this feature in ubuntu?
i am downloaded some e-books in the format .rar. when i am extracting them i am getting error as There is no command installed for RAR archive files. Do you want to search for a command to open this file?
I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I have a small HDD and I noticed that the weight of the folder .Trash-0/lost+found on my computer was of 2.6 gb.
I tried to delete the files in this folder, but it seems impossible. Even with using sudo I can't delete them because I am not authorized to do so. The files in the folder are quite weird, there are folder and files named like this: #7614692, #7613635 etc. Their groups and their users are also quite weird: -1933023744, 1624453254... Even from a live cd it is not possible to delete them. Also the date of the files is ****ed up, example:
- last access: "mar. 13 juil. 1943 15:26:11 CEST" - last modification: "mer. 12 oct. 2022 15:59:51 CEST"
I recently upgraded this partition from ext3 to ext4, so I would guess that it comes from here. But I don't know if these files where there before or not.
I have ubuntu 10.4 installed, everything works on my Toshiba A200-TJ9 laptop except for the built in webcam and mic, as well as the DVD burning function of my multi drive.The drive itself is a HD-DVD Rom with CD/DVD +/- R/RW capabilities.I did a $sudo cdrecord -scanbus and it shows:
Beyond that i know absolutely nothing, and when i put in a blank CD or DVD -R, it shows up as a blank CD/DVD-R, but its properties show as 0 bytes used, 0 bytes free and 0 bytes for capacity. And not surprisingly, Brasero says not enough disc capacity when i try to burn a 2.7 gig file onto the DVD-R.
Archive: /home/kishore/Desktop/wrar391.exe [/home/kishore/Desktop/wrar391.exe] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/kishore/Desktop/wrar391.exe or /home/kishore/Desktop/wrar391.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/kishore/Desktop/wrar391.exe.ZIP, period.
i am not able to extract the files in ubuntu can you tell me when i click archieve manager i am getting this error and which software i have to download for the zip files to be extract in ubuntu
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 Meerkat and everytime I attempt to edit the permissions of a file either using the command line or gui it does not stick. When I use the gui and click in the permissions tab and then choose execute file the check mark appears and then immediately disappears.
When I attempt to change permissions via the command line and execute a script even if the script was created by me it does not work and when I check the permissions there is no changes from the original before my attempt to add execute permissions.
Even when I change permissions for read and write they don't stick.
I had no problem when I was using 10.04 and need to get this fixed.
PS. I made sure I am changing permissions using root privileges.
My computer doesn't like to copy files over 4 gigs to a flash drive. It will copy for about 12 minutes, and then when it's almost done, it's says "File to large." Is there some sort of limitation in the software that can be adjusted for this.
right now i have ubuntu installed inside of my windows 7, i gave it a 30 gb allowance. i like ubuntu so much i want to make it my main os, and have windows 7 as my secondary. what my plan was, was to install a fresh version of windows 7, install ubuntu again inside windows 7, and try and use easyBCD to make ubuntu my main os. but now im wondering, ext4 is faster right? so i should actually make a partition, and install the two OS separably, right? or doesnt ext4 make a difference? also will i be able to share files thru the two os? or will i have to add my pictures ect to both os to view them?
After 10.04 upgrade I cannot drop to console, as well as the gnome UI takes overly long to load, letting me stare at my background for 10 seconds before arriving.Let me start off by saying my machine would not even boot when using the nouveau driver. After successfully installing the normal nvidia driver I was then able to get to my desktop.I cannot view any of the console's that are not using X(F1 F2 etc) None of these work, previously I received invalid input on the nouveau driver but now when i drop to console I am met with a black screen and no display until I return to the one using X.
I suspect it is using an impossible resolution with the consoles but I cannot figure out how to fix it. grub seems to be ignored for display resolution.I am using a TV/monitor that is 1360x768 @ 60hz
I'm a bit of a newbie, so here is a newbie questionHow do i change my desktop menu, so that it becomes drop-down panels in the top instead of a menu on the left-hand side?I need the answer carved out in stone in order to understand
Whenever i mount any disk to ubuntu,and after typing the password, a new icon is created on the taskbar which says "click here to drop all elevated priviledges".
The icon is of harm even i click it or not but i was just curious to know more about it.
Dunno how it happened but every single place in my Places drop-down menu opens up in VLC.Documents, Downloads, Mounted Drives, External drives - all open in VLC.The only one that doesn't is Computer. When I open this up and then go to one of the above mentioned places I've tried right-clicking and selecting "Open With Other Application" and then selecting "Open Folder" and ticking the box to remember it but this doesn't
I've noticed that since that time I have lost the subject heading at the top of the page and also the arrows that allow me to visit a previous screen or a subsequent screen. Any suggestions for how I can retrieve the menu box at the top of the screen and the directional arrows?
I've tried disabling and re-enabling Window Decoration in ccsm, I've made sure "shadow windows" is set to "any". Running compiz --replace doesn't help.
I cannot, in any way, share files between my Windows 7 and Ubuntu PCs. I have tried everything out there and nothing seems to work. I don't get why! I have samba installed, I have installed the apache2.2 packages and I have checked the network file sharing.
I can create shares with folders and I can see all the windows computers on the network (but can't access any of them).
I cannot view my Ubuntu computer from the Windows computer either.
