| r4y | >I plan on installing Ubuntu 10.04, how should I go about marking bad sectors with something from here: http://support.wdc.com/ or with the live cd of Ubuntu?, or both? | 02:56 |
| r4y | Did my post show up, or should I repost? | 02:58 |
| urlin2u | it shows, I have never seen advice to do this I think you are probably on your own here | 03:00 |
| r4y | I am going to assume that because it says it requires Windows that I should somehow use the live CD of Ubuntu to mark the bad sectors before installing. | 03:01 |
| r4y | Google it is | 03:02 |
| urlin2u | are you sure there are bad sectors? | 03:02 |
| r4y | Well Disk Utility says so | 03:02 |
| r4y | But it could be a bug | 03:02 |
| r4y | I don't know | 03:03 |
| r4y | 10.04 | 03:03 |
| r4y | I have just recently downloaded 10.04.3 instead of the other I was using | 03:03 |
| r4y | Sorry I meant 10.10 not 10.04, but I am going to install 10.04.3, not 10.04 | 03:04 |
| r4y | I have read this before: | 03:06 |
| r4y | Keep in mind, all disks have some bad sectors, so as with all data important, back up | 03:06 |
| r4y | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487833&page=1 | 03:06 |
| r4y | Even new hard drives have bad sectors | 03:07 |
| r4y | It's just a question of how bad | 03:07 |
| urlin2u | a regular ubuntu install will not use bad sectors just install and pray it doesn't break overlal | 03:07 |
| urlin2u | overall* | 03:07 |
| r4y | right, well, I am going to Google this for a while because it couldn't hurt. I remember reading that there is an advanced option for this but I have read a lot of things that aren't true or change from version to version | 03:08 |
| urlin2u | here is a link, but the deal is really that I would estimate 99% of the users you run into will say since HD are so cheap get a new one it just comes down to you being able to do it. http://www.ehow.com/how_6864409_fix-bad-sectors-ubuntu.html | 03:09 |
| urlin2u | you could map it out and have it fail on the next boot . | 03:09 |
| sluckxz | http://linux.die.net/man/8/badblocks | 03:10 |
| r4y | Being backed is very important | 03:10 |
| r4y | thank you for the links | 03:10 |
| r4y | I remember low level format being what to do | 03:11 |
| r4y | I am already backed up by the way | 03:11 |
| urlin2u | thats good I clone everything and have the stuff I can't loose backed up. | 03:14 |
| r4y | I went back to the first link I posted for the heck of it: | 03:19 |
| r4y | http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?modelno=WD3200JBRTL&x=0&y=0 | 03:19 |
| r4y | I am not sure if I want to go with any of those downloads | 03:19 |
| r4y | I think I would rather go with some other software that will mark the hard drive using a low level wipe, but what software is free for this? | 03:22 |
| ashickur-noor | how can I video chat using yahoo protocol in Ubuntu 10.10? | 03:33 |
| holstein | this might be relavant ashickur-noor https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bd/2008-December/002682.html | 03:35 |
| r4y | Hello holstein. I am wondering if hirens or UBCD can do a low level format on a hard drive I have here. It's a WD Caviar Blue model WD3200JBRTL | 03:38 |
| holstein | r4y: dont see why not | 03:38 |
| holstein | i havent used hirens though | 03:38 |
| r4y | Pata | 03:38 |
| holstein | sure... ive used UBCD and gparted from live CD's on PATA | 03:38 |
| r4y | I don't see Sata written on the box | 03:39 |
| r4y | OK, I need a guide for this. Any links for what I should use off of either CD? | 03:39 |
| ashickur-noor | holstein: it is not good | 03:40 |
| holstein | for formatting? i would just load up gparted | 03:40 |
| r4y | I mean I am looking here: | 03:40 |
| r4y | http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd | 03:40 |
| holstein | ashickur-noor: OK.. what are you trying to do? | 03:40 |
| holstein | yahoo chat in ubuntu? | 03:40 |
| holstein | whats it take?.. a stand alone app? | 03:40 |
| ashickur-noor | ya with video | 03:40 |
| holstein | im only familiar with skype (loosely) and the gtalk one | 03:41 |
| ashickur-noor | I can chat but no video | 03:41 |
| holstein | ashickur-noor: in WINE? | 03:41 |
| holstein | in the browser? | 03:41 |
| holstein | how are you chatting? | 03:41 |
| r4y | I used DBAN already. I want to do low format to have the bad sectors marked and remapped before I install Ubuntu 10.04.3 | 03:41 |
| ashickur-noor | empathy' | 03:41 |
| holstein | i thought pidgin did yahoo with vid ashickur-noor ? | 03:41 |
| ashickur-noor | not works | 03:41 |
| holstein | r4y: how many bad sectors? | 03:41 |
| holstein | if its over the limit, it wont get much better | 03:41 |
| holstein | if its clicking, i would just give up on it | 03:42 |
| r4y | 80 some, I think, I can't remember | 03:42 |
| holstein | ashickur-noor: video doesnt work with pidgin? | 03:42 |
| holstein | ashickur-noor: have you tried wine? | 03:42 |
| ashickur-noor | not yet | 03:42 |
| ashickur-noor | Will try | 03:42 |
| ashickur-noor | need to go now | 03:42 |
| ashickur-noor | bye | 03:42 |
| r4y | Well, that's what this hard drive says which is 82, but for the hard drive I am going to install on, I can't remember how many sectors on that hard drive | 03:43 |
| holstein | a few bad ones is normal | 03:44 |
| holstein | if you start seeing it in red in that disk utility.... you might want to consider moving on | 03:44 |
| r4y | Right, always make back ups, and even most new hard drives have bad sectors | 03:44 |
| r4y | what part red. Maybe I should just install Ubuntu and see what disk utility says after doing so | 03:45 |
| r4y | I read that when installing Ubuntu there is a way to have the live cd mark the bad sectors for install | 03:46 |
| === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ | ||
| r4y | I know what I could try. bye I might be back | 03:47 |
| r4y | :) / | 03:47 |
| holstein | r4y: enjoy | 03:48 |
| r4y | ty for the help | 03:48 |
| holstein | the disk utility reports bad errors in red | 03:48 |
| holstein | like a high bad sector count | 03:48 |
| holstein | anyways... you'll sort it out :) | 03:48 |
| r4y | right, I will keep that in mind | 03:48 |
| holstein | i have confidence in you! | 03:48 |
| r4y | what's considered high? | 03:48 |
| r4y | I suppose that depends on the HD size | 03:49 |
| holstein | i forget | 03:49 |
| holstein | ive seen a lot though | 03:49 |
| holstein | i think 500 is bad | 03:50 |
| r4y | OK, far enough. Thank you for the info | 03:50 |
| holstein | but, at some point, its just deteriorating | 03:50 |
| holstein | and its just going to get worse | 03:50 |
| holstein | and usually fast | 03:50 |

| truepurple | Can anyone help me fix indexing on mkv files please? A simple google search will not do it, most of the results are for avi only, or don't work. | 17:53 |
| abhishek | can anyone suggest me where to start with ubuntu development | 18:51 |
| urlin2u | abhishek, we are not fond of dual posting as well, you might ask on the Ubuntu Forums, you will get a lot of answers there. :D | 18:52 |
| eyadof | hi everybody i tried to setup a bridge network between my ubuntu 11.10 and ubuntu server 11.10 on virtual box but i'v failed and "device not managed " on the wired connection is written can somebody help please> | 19:29 |
| clarkthehardy910 | my internal mic isn't working at all, can anyone help me find out what's wrong? | 19:30 |
| clarkthehardy910 | well, its actually working because I can hear the sound through the speakers, but voice recorder isn't getting it, and neither is google talk (through chromium/firefox) | 19:31 |
| clarkthehardy910 | any idea of what I need to do? | 19:32 |
| thewrath | hey all | 19:54 |
| JackyAlcine | Hello thewrath | 19:54 |
| thewrath | how are you JackyAlcine | 19:55 |
| JackyAlcine | thewrath: Could be better, but can't ask for too much. :D How about you? | 19:56 |
| thewrath | good | 19:59 |
| thewrath | just had to remove a rogue security software package from my paresnts computer | 19:59 |
| thewrath | it installs the rogue security package and a rootkit in the background | 19:59 |
| thewrath | so you can remove the app but the rootkit is still there | 19:59 |
| thewrath | luckily i was able to remove all of it | 19:59 |
| urlin2u | yousure you got it all? | 20:00 |
| thewrath | if they have an issue again i am just going to install Ubuntu on it | 20:00 |
| thewrath | followed all the steps that i found on the issue | 20:00 |
| thewrath | The package was called "Privacy Protection" | 20:01 |
| thewrath | Apparently my mom did not know the difference | 20:01 |
| JackyAlcine | thewrath: It happens, since they tend to replicate the system's look at times. | 20:01 |
| thewrath | between Avast and "Privacy Protection" so she told me that the system was infected with the blaster worm well that was a rip | 20:01 |
| thewrath | what JackyAlcine | 20:02 |
| thewrath | urlin2u: i am also work with IT security for my full time job | 20:02 |
| urlin2u | thewrath, you might check with the windows channel just to be sure you run highjack this to see whats there. | 20:02 |
| thewrath | urlin2u: ah i am going to run combofix | 20:02 |
| urlin2u | thewrath, I figured you know what your di=oing just asking? | 20:02 |
| thewrath | yea lol | 20:02 |
| thewrath | sorry been a long day lol | 20:03 |
| JackyAlcine | thewrath: some viruses go as far as to replicate a system program like Windows Defender to trick a user. | 20:03 |
| thewrath | i was trying to see if it was phoning home at all | 20:03 |
| thewrath | so i brought home my system | 20:03 |
| thewrath | JackyAlcine: yea. she is not into IT like my brother and I are. one photo takeen of the screen with that up i would have known | 20:03 |
| urlin2u | thewrath, combofix is good this is an area know only a little about, but many think things are gone when not, I had remembered that you were knowledgeable in this area, just curious really. | 20:04 |
| urlin2u | I* | 20:04 |
| truepurple | I am trying to get it so I can fastward and rewind in video files with broken indexing. I was told to try aviemux. There are two versions of avidemux in the software center, gtk and qt, which version do I want? | 20:04 |
| thewrath | JackyAlcine: when is hte next team meeting? | 20:19 |
| JackyAlcine | it's typically posted in the topic. | 20:20 |
| JackyAlcine | Empathy's not letting me see it. | 20:20 |
| pers87 | all of my downloads of the ubuntu 11.10 x86 iso in ie&firefox fail,i have no trouble downloading stuff on irc,is there a bot i can get it from? | 20:36 |
| bioterror | use torrent? | 20:41 |
| bioterror | or use wget | 20:42 |
| bioterror | and if you fetch with wget, remember to do md5 checksum | 20:42 |
| pers87 | ok, thanks bioterror! | 20:46 |
| JackyAlcine | If your connection's weak, add the argument '-C' to wget so you can continue later. | 20:46 |
| bioterror | I would use torrent | 20:47 |
| bioterror | I get better speeds with too | 20:47 |
| bioterror | with it | 20:47 |
| truepurple | with system monitor, what is the difference between free space, and available space? | 21:36 |
