Error Splicing File: Input/output Error

Lots of posts on internet about flash drives ending up read-only in Linux after using on a windows or mac systme. Gather it is a problem with incorrectly ejecting or the ejection being poorly done.

Usually I can go back to the box and re-eject and all is well. This time even GParted and the resident fedora 21 Disk Utility programs did not even see the drive (which Was visible under "files").

Using disk utility on the "offending" machine, it seems there were many files that were truncated (due to some eject issue? Note the ejection was done "according to Hoyle" ); regardless the flash drive was still read-only. Howeverk, re-trying GParted, which now recognized the drive, the drive was unmounted checked. Some repair was necessary. Currently, I can read, write and copy within the drive.

However, the drive itself is still only read-only for all but the owner (which is not even root). I cannot copy any file to the flash drive. Chmod does nothing (no matter if root or other user tries). I suppose I should be satisfied for the access there is, but if anyone has any more suggestions, it would be great.

Thanks in advance for any info/interest

I'm running Xubuntu and it was a challenge just getting Copy.com on there. (I installed the desktop app on both of my computers.) Now that I have it though, I don't really know how to use it.

I know this is kind of more a Copy.com question, but I don't know anything about Copy.com (besides having it--lol) and besides, I like you LQ guys.

So yeah, I installed the desktop app for Copy.com on both of my computers. I know that if I put something in the Copy folder that will be available to both computers.

But how Copy does the backing up I don't know.

When I change a file or folder do I have to plop that into the Copy folder every time or does Copy somehow update the file or folder in the Copy folder automatically? (It doesn't seem to.)

Okay, when I, say, take the Documents folder from one computer and plop it into the Copy folder that's that. Then I take the Documents folder from the other computer and plop that into the Copy folder, then all the files from both folders will be in the Copy folder (and the Copy cloud), right?

Now I just removed a couple of files from a folder and copied and pasted the folder into the Copy folder. But then when I looked at the Copy folder the files I'd deleted were still there. What's the process? How does it work?

I mean, how does this work as a way of backing things up AND organizing things? To me it seems like a decent way of throwing stuff into the Copy folder (and cloud), but how is that different than Google Drive? I mean, that's not really a backup, is it? It's like a flash drive in the cloud.

And when I combined the same folders (with the same titles anyway, but they each had different files within them) from the two computers I'd expected each folder on each computer to have all the same files that were cumulatively on both. Instead, they're the same. And the cumulative is only on the Copy folder.

I like the notion of just throwing the folders and files into the Copy folder. It's much quicker than Google Drive. But the backing up feature eludes me and the syncing feature makes me fearful that I'll lose data or that the files will become hopelessly less organized.

Thanks.

I am trying to move away from windows. Installed Dragora with lots of hitches I managed to fix until I booted from hard drive. on boot from hard drive I got a blank screen for over an hour. On my next look at the screen the next morning I have these 4 lines over and over.

Hi,

Could anyone please explain as understandable as possible how could I on my Windows 8 open either single file or install (and use) entire software which is supposted to work on Linux and/or Ubuntu? I have absolutelly NO experience with Linux and have never used it. Honestly, I don't know if there is any difference between Linux and Ubuntu. I want to be inside my Windows 8 while using Linux files/sofware. The only solution I could think of are actually two but neither of them is useful for me:

1. Vmware (i don't know how to use it)
2. Rent remote computer (vps/rdp) with linux OS installed (this would let me be in Windows 8 while being able to use Linux file/software [on remote computer] but sooner or later I would want to have Windows installed there too)

Tried program Linux Reader but didn't work on my Windows 8. Although I would need solution for installation/usage of software (that can be used only on linux/ubuntu), regardless of details***, the current problem is basically related to single files only: I have two files, both in IMG extension. Don't know how to open them because Deamon Tools doesn't handle IMG. The problem is that filesystem in one of them is "Linux" and filesystem in another is "142". The error I am getting when I try to open them is:

"File with harddrive/disc snapshot is corrupted."

But this is most likely because they are supposted to be used in linux environment, hence such question.

*** when i said "details" I was referring to basically anything: type of software, size, purpose, whether or not it needs network connection, whether or not it contains logging in (username password, etc) requirement, etc.

The following solution for current situation (quoted error above) works only partially:

http://www.sysprobs.com/simple-tip-h...thout-software

I am able to open/run/mount IMG if I do what is described on this link (im basically opening iso in this case - see the website) but when opening the virtual drive, the following error message proves that the file can be used in linux/ubuntu only:

"Windows cannot access that drive. Drive could be corrupted. Make sure the drive is in condition that can be recognized by Windows. If drive isn't formatted then format it before usage."

Would need detailed instructions, for total beginner, who has never used linux/ubuntu, what to do in such case: how to use in win8 files/software that are supposted to be used in linux/ubuntu. Also answer on how to open IMG would be highly appreciated.

Kindest regards and thank you a million in advance.

Dear all;
I run an execute file named "A" gets it's input from a text file "B.inp"
but I face this error:
A < B.inp
: error while loading shared libraries: libquadmath.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've downloaded libquadmath and when I want to install it ,the other error said I don't have libgc package!!! but I have libgc!! is it because of existing two different repository that it can't share their information?
my operating system is Centos6;
what shall I do?
Thanks for your attention

Hello all,

I am trying to figure out how to get bash to view for any contents in the "the_difference_between_today_and_yesterday.txt" file and then act if there is anything in the file. I thought i had it, but it is not working like I thought. Any ideas?

Code:

if [ -f final_version_$dater.txt ];
then
        if [ -f final_version_$yester_dater.txt ];
        then
                diff final_version_$dater.txt final_version_$yester_dater.txt | grep "^>" | sed 's/>\ //g' > the_difference_between_today_and_yesterday.txt

                        if grep ^[a-z]* "the_difference_between_today_and_yesterday.txt";
                        then
                                cp the_difference_between_today_and_yesterday.txt /tmp/24hourlemons_table; mysqlimport --user=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD --columns=name,start_date,end_date,link_url,location \
--fields-terminated-by=':' --lines-terminated-by='\n' carshows /tmp/24hourlemons_table; rm final_version_$three_days_later.txt
                        else
                                echo "There were no differences between the two files"; rm final_version_$three_days_later.txt
                        fi
        else
                echo "ERROR! The file of: final_version_$yester_dater.txt does not exist" >> error.log
        fi
fi

Hi all,

I have a device which has a Compact Flash card and a SSD. The file system is split so that everything except "/home" is stored on the compact flash card.

On the compact flash I am experiencing partition table corruption due to power loses when writing to the CF card.

One solution to this is to move everything onto the solid state drive, but as this is also flash memory - is the rish of corruption still the same as using the CF card?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hello,

I am setting up a linux server for gaming and I am using a script to update the files automatically and create a folder with a certain name.

Code:

# !/bin/bash

# A convenience function, to save us some work
update_server() {
	# Read the app id and the directory into a variable

	APP_ID=$1
	DIR=$2

	# Create the directory ( if it does not exist already )
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		mkdir -p "$HOME/$DIR"
	fi

	# Uh-oh, it looks like we still have no directory. Report an error.
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		# Describe what went wrong
		echo "ERROR! Cannot create directory $HOME/$DIR!"

		# Exit with status code 1 ( which indicates an error )
		exit 1
	fi

	# Call SteamCMD with the app ID we provided and tell it to install
	./bin/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "$HOME/$DIR" +app_update $APP_ID validate +quit
}

# Now the script actually runs update_server ( which we just declared above ) with the id of the application ( 4020 is Garry's Mod ) and the name of the directory we want the server to be hosted from:

update_server 4020 "gmodserver"

exit 0

When I run this script, it creates 2 folders on my server : gmodserver and gmodserver? There is no files downloaded in gmodserver. All the files are downloaded in gmodserver?

I looked for a few hours on how to solve this problem but I have no idea what the added ? might be so I am lost as to what to look for. Could you help me on figuring this out?

Thank you.

edit : I am using ubuntu 15.04 x64 if it makes a difference.

I am writing a C# application that reads all the directories and files on my Ubuntu web site and copies the changed files to my eSata drive on my workstation.

This is the code that reads all files and directories in my www folder.

System.IO.DirectoryInfo file1 = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(pathA);
IEnumerable<System.IO.FileInfo> list1 = file1.GetFiles("*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);

This is the error on my workstation accessing the web site after a few minutes.

A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.IOException' occurred in mscorlib.dll. Additional information: The specified network name is no longer available. f there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.

Any ideas on what is causing the network name to not be available. I can see the files on my Windows 7 workstation.

Hi,
I am trying to write to usb flash drive using a C program. I have just created some files in USB device and doing my tasks using fopen,fread and fwrite on those files. I was just wondering what is the standard data rate that can be achieved using fwrite() on a file in usb. Secondly what is better way of transferring data to USB flash drive using C Program? Obviously I am a newbie
