Re: ubuntu-users Digest, Vol 38, Issue 108 DVD Backup

Hi all,

So, I figured out that there is more to dvd-backups than just the software
and code. It also comes down to the hardware you are using. I use k9copy
and k3b which are the front-ends with everything needed to backup dvds. I
needed to switch from using the dvd-roms in both my pcs to using the
dvd-writers to rip as well as write the dvds and this solved the issue. If
your writer is newer, you should not experience any failures. Average
backup (ripping/burning) takes about 2 hours, but is very thorough. Hope
this helps someone.

Take care,

Tsai

So if I understand you my actual graphic card would be an AGP and I could
add another PCI graphic card or remove mine and replace it with an AGP
with
2 monitor connection. I think the second choice would be easier and anyway
my son's doesn't have a graphic card. Thank you for the explanation about
the slots. That was the first time I put a graphic card in the computer
and
I thought they were all the same, so thank you for the lesson, as for my
son's computer I just deleted everything and am reinstalling his system no
more virus alert popping everywhere. I'll let you know when I will buy a
graphic card (I think more about a graphic card with 2 monitor connection)
if I am able to install it and how it goes. Just a question will it be a
problem if the two screens are not the same size? Do I have to choose a
card
because of the difference in size or will any video card react the same
way?
Thank you
Megan

Wow!

Well, 10/10 for effort.

I reckon - I welcome others' opinions - that it sounds like you have 1
AGP slot and then 3 or so PCI slots. The latter are the ones like your
sound card fits.

Which, I reckon, means you need either an AGP graphics card + a PCI
graphics card, or, preferably, one AGP card with 2 monitor
connections. That will make life much easier.

Hi all,


Firstly, I am using Feisty Fawn 7.04 i386 and Debian 4.0 amd64.
I am trying to backup several of my dvds, because some of my favorite
movies were destroyed by the kids. I have successfully save some
to .iso and then be able to burn them again using the growisofs
command. I ran into a problem though with one wherein only 1.7gb is
saved to iso, then growisofs stops. Here is the output:

root@ai:/home/ai/Movies# dd if=/dev/hdc of=JustinBday.iso
dd: reading `/dev/hdc': Input/output error
3257824+0 records in
3257824+0 records out
1668005888 bytes (1.7 GB) copied, 318.035 seconds, 5.2 MB/s
root@ai:/home/ai/Movies#

Any ideas as to what went wrong?

thanks

Hello,

I've just upgraded my ubuntu from 6.06 to feisty (i've installed
everything
again, no really upgraded). Now my computer is crashing every time (using
openoffice for example) and java 6 seems to be not good (at least, i can't
access the 'banco do brasil' page anymore).

What can i do?

Thanks,

Leonardo

I missed the beginning of this thread, but your problem does not seem

I have tested your scenario with the only machine that I have the
luxury of rebooting at the moment: Dapper LTS server. I can confirm
that Dapper Server does not have this issue. I could reboot the
server
in all the ways listed above without issue.

That's what I suspected - Dapper also doesn't use upstart, iirc. I
think
this needs to be reported to upstart-devel and see what they say.

Oh, look. It already was:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/66002

Try: "reboot -f" - it doesn't look as if anybody is over-concerned
about
changing the behaviour, since it's been open for a year.

Ah, this work around finally sort of "works". Thanks, Derek!

But I doubt "reboot -f" properly kills processes and properly
syncs/umounts filesystems before doing the actual reboot.

Well, you'd have to test to be sure, but I actually _would_ expect it to.
It's not something I plan to do myself, as I practically never boot :-)
(Though I have a new HP laptop to install Kubuntu to, today, so I guess
I'll get a few opportunities).

What is the make & rev of the motherboard?
And yes the button doesn't work or motherboard has some trouble or
whatever
it won't restart if turn off but I closed the post about that. I just
can't
fix it now, so. I never turn it off but unplug it when it's really needed.
Thank you

I just added the medibuntu repo to get acroreader.
Almost immediately after, I got a notifier for a slew of updates to kde.
Coincidence?
If these are all medibuntu updates, will mixing this with the standard
kubuntu 7.04 cause any serious borking? (this is my daily ubuntu box,
which is why I'm asking)
