Feb 3, 2010I used a Karmic Live CD to make a forensic image off of a older Windows computer that has a fat32 drive. Immediately after booting it said it was correcting a problem on the drive, I assume that it was running fsck on it. I want to customize my own live CD to not do this. Though I suppose it doesn't do it for ntfs since there isn't a fsck for it yet.

Apr 2, 2011I installed ubuntu 10.10 on a desktop to use for a media server, and plus some. Everything worked! I proceeded to install the nVidia driver for the 9800gt After it was installed I rebooted per the notification after installation.So now my computer loads directly into terminal and I can't start the GUI. I tried startx but it gave that whole warning about the "nopowerconnectorcheck".
So I've done my research and I bought a 650w psu. Still no dice. I know that there is a way to turn off the power connector check but I have no Idea how.

Oct 11, 2010i used WUBI to put Ubuntu on an SD card. i ran it off that for a while, and keeping my Vista. then i tried upgrading to to 10.10. there was even a special installer for GRUB in the process.
that's when the problem started. after my comp finished the upgrade, it restarted. but this time, in grub rescue. i tried some of the codes in the wiki, but everything came up unknown command. then someone in the chat told me to use a Live CD and a Super GRUB2 cd.
the LiveCD booted to a screen with a picture of a "keyboard=person with a circle around it". then after a few minutes of just that, lines of text reading:EDD: error 8000 reading sector 3567 EDD: error 8000 reading sector 3577 (and more with consecutive numbers) the Super GRUB2 cd let me get the OS list i usually get from starting up. only Vista would start up without problem. Ubuntu had.. a problem i cant recall right now.
i redid the Live CD, and im back in Ubuntu. i tried the ways of reinstalling GRUB2, as advised by the chats, but nothing seemed to work as described in the reinstallation section of this.
and that is where i stand right now. also, my SD drive's light doesn't turn off now, even when there is no card in it. im kind of worried that when GRUB installed at the 10.10 upgrade, it made that a partisan.

Software :: Turn Laptop Into A Usb Drive?
Jan 6, 2010is there any way that I can make my Ubuntu Karmic powered laptop work as a giant USB drive when I connect it to another laptop for example. As a normal usb pen drive works, just plug it in, but now instead, my laptop would act as one. It would be perfect to have a folder which content would appear on the "virtual" usb drive when connected to something.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Check The Health Of A Hard Drive
Aug 2, 2010My SATA drive started clicking and I was unable to access the data. It was not clicking loudly though, like a drive that has already gone bad. After tightening the connections to the hard drive, it stopped clicking and I was able to access the data again. I have started to move files off of the drive, but I think this drive might still be in good health. I didn't find any data corruption and I haven't had any trouble accessing any files. I have never had an SATA drive fail before so I'm thinking that it could have just been the loose connections that was causing the problem. What tests can I run on this drive to find out how healthy it is?
This is the hard drive in question: HITACHI Deskstar T7K250 HDT722525DLA380 (0A31636) 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare Drive
General :: Hard Drive - Does Check Disks During Boot Instead Of Shutdown?
Dec 3, 2010I'm just curious - why do all linux distros (all I've seen) run their periodic disk checks during boot? I mean, I understand that a disk should be checked now and then, but why does the system do it during boot, when I'm waiting for it to load, instead of checking them during shutdown, when (most probably) user doesn't need the computer anymore.

Ubuntu Installation :: GRUB Installation Froze During A Routine Update / Fix It?
Mar 17, 2010When doing a routine update to GRUB, it asked me what drive/partition I want it installed on.

How can I fix this?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Unable To Replace Drive In RAID 5 After Filesystem Check Freezes?
Apr 28, 2011I'm a bit of a Linux newbie, but I did manage to set up the following RAID-5 system:1x 500GB system drive on ATA IDE4x 1TB SATA drives in software RAIDLinux = Fedora 13So here's what happened. I set up the system to send me an email every time the mdadm stat file changed, so it would send me emails when in periodically ran a self-test. I was away and noticed that the self-test was going incredibly slow (usually took 8 hours...was on course for taking 250 days!) A colleague decided to just reboot the system.Afterwards, the system would not boot and, while all 5 drives were connected, would stop at an endlessly scrolling error message of: Code: ata4.01: exception Emask 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
ata4.01: BMDMA stay 0x64

View 9 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Filesystem Check Can't Resolve Label / Formatting External Hard Drive
Jul 19, 2010I'm trying to partition/format a new external hard disk for backup and have run into a snag that now prevents my computer from booting. In the description below of what happened please bear with me as I do my best to remember the commands and screen output (which for obvious reasons I don't have in front of me).As root.The disk was subsequently writable. However, I then realized that the default start and end cylinders had resulted in a very small partition apparently occupying some free cyclinders in the beginning of the disk.
So next I ran fdisk again, deleting the sdc4 I had just created and creating a new one instead, this time using the cylinders at the end of the disk. When I exited fdisk I got a message something like that the new tables can only be read upon a subsequent reboot. I ran mkfs again, but not e2label. Indeed using /sbin/fdisk -l, sdc4 still had the small size as defined initially. So I rebooted.
Now when it comes up I get something like "checking filesystems. fchk.ext3: can't resolve 'LABEL=/media/LaCie2TB1'" and am prompted to login as root to correct. I tried to simply delete sdc4 again but that didn't help. I also tried to edit /etc/fstab (using vi, which I don't know at all) but it kept telling me that this is a read only file, even though permissions are rw for root.Can anyone out there help me so that (1) I can boot into my computer, and (2) I can correctly partition and format the hard drive??
Server :: Backup Script / Routine That Is The Mounting Is Not Working That The Script Is Stopping?
Jun 7, 2010I have made a backupscript that simply copy files to an external harddisk with the command cp -a.
Before the backup script start I'll mount the external harddisk with mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/USB/backup. And after the script the external harddisk will be unmounted.
This all works great. But when the user is forgotten his external device the script is written the files to the system partition and that is a big problem.I've seen a lot of backup scripts who has the same problem.
Can I build in some routine that is the mounting is not working that the script is stopping?
Or are there some better ideas to avoid this?
Debian :: Migration Check List - To Check - Prepare Or Reconfigure
Feb 3, 2010I am new to Debian but not Linux-based systems. I have been experimenting a lot with Debian Lenny/Squeeze. I am growing more comfortable each day with the Debian design. Yet there remain many unexplored areas. I am creating a migration check list. Things to check, prepare, or reconfigure when moving from one Linux-based system to Debian.
I have a good computer background and my current check list probably is fairly good. Yet I would appreciate input and opinions from experienced Debian users of things to watch in such a migration. Login defs, passwd/group files, different directory locations, keymaps, services and daemons, etc. I am not too concerned with the desktop as I plan to stick with KDE 3.5 for a while and I can basically move those settings across.
