You can rerun ddrescue to try to fill in missing blocks. dd or cat will generally just stop when it hits the first bad block. I would do something like: a) Run several passes of ddrescue using a few different optical drives. b) Polish the CD. c) Repeat until you stop getting new data off the CD. 2) Use something like photorec to try to scavange any reconizable JPEGs (or other file types as desired) from the data image file you created with ddrescue. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec IIRC, there are ebuilds for ddrescue, photorec, and testdisk. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

When I logged in as regular user then ownership of the tty that I used for log in is: crw--- 1 wabe tty 4, 1 13.

The only solution for now is to run script /dev/null. Then I can run screen as a user. People are having the same problem all over the net. So it seems that after login you first have to chmod 770 the tty before you do a su - user (user have to be in group tty of course).

How to chmod tty1 so changes stay permenently? Thanks /dev/tty1 is already group writeable, so you should get the same result by adding your user to the tty group. When I logged in as regular user then ownership of the tty that I used for log in is: crw--- 1 wabe tty 4, 1 13. Mär 17:49 /dev/tty1 When I logged in as root, then owner is root (not surprising). crw--- 1 root tty 4, 2 13. Mär 23:47 /dev/tty2 Adding your user to group tty probably wouldn't resolve your problem (not tested), because group doesn't have any rights. So it seems that after login you first have to chmod 770 the tty before you do a su - user (user have to be in group tty of course). Forget about chmod 770. Better do a chmod g+rw. :-) -- Regards wabe

Many years ago, I sort of got bored installing lm-sensors and running the setup stuff all the time. I seem to recall, you have to do it again when you upgrade the kernel too. Anyway, I started using the kernel drivers and I've been doing it that way ever since. Hey, it works. It also gets updated with each kernel upgrade too. I'm all for what works. It works for me and seems it works for you as well so, yeppie!!! Given I been battling the flu for a few weeks, yeppie is about as good as it gets right now. I never could dance anyway. ;-) Oh, I listed my sensor stuff because Mick listed his. I thought we could compare what we each get. It looks the same to me.
