It might be, that I compiled something that isn't recognized by the package management, but needs libxine. If aptitude would recommend to remove it for my experimental Lenny, I would agree, but not for my stable* 32bit and 64bit Studio 2.1 'Etch'es. I make mistakes, but I also keep some of my Linux stable ;). *stable excepting the hardware trouble for audio productions with any Linux. Okay, I could reinstall it, you're right and even if I don't know how, I maybe can keep it by using aptitude. Instead I run parted from the Paldo Live-CD and hat was what I did some minutes ago, see the attachment.
This is everything I did: [pa...@virgin:~]$ mkdir /mnt/hard_disk mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/hard_disk': Permission denied [pa...@virgin:~]$ su Password: su: Authentication failure [pa...@virgin:~]$ su Password: [r...@virgin:/home/paldo]# mkdir /mnt/hard_disk [r...@virgin:/home/paldo]# chown paldo /mnt/hard_disk [r...@virgin:/home/paldo]# mount /dev/sda9 /mnt/hard_disk [r...@virgin:/home/paldo]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id | grep Intenso lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-03-10 01:32 usb-Intenso_Rainbow_09012200230519-0:0 -> ../../sdc [r...@virgin:/home/paldo]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc dd: writing to `/dev/sdc': Input/output error 18417+0 records in 18416+0 records out 9428992 bytes (9.4 MB) copied, 1.618 s, 5.8 MB/s [r...@virgin:/home/paldo]# killall dd dd: no process killed [r...@virgin:/home/paldo]# parted /dev/sdc GNU Parted 1.8.8 Using /dev/sdc Welcome to GNU Parted!

Running top in another terminal there was no dd, but 3258 paldo 20 0 233m 16m 11m R 5 0.9 0:14.65 gnome-terminal in pool position, maybe because dd was working. I started at <= 1:42 AM o'clock paldo-live-cd-time, the LED was still flashing when I run killall dd at 2:00 AM and it was falshing after that. I planed to run '# cfdisk', '# mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc' and '# parted /dev/sdc print'. Instead I only run # parted /dev/sdc, while the LED was flashing at 2:06 AM. Oops, I've forgotten to keep in mind that I need to add 'print'. Ctrl+C didn't stop parted or the flashing, but 'print' or Ctrl+D stopped the flashing and the error was displayed. Okay, it's clear that it will take a long time to overwrite each byte on the USB stick, but I didn't wait, because I wonder that there was an error. After my office work I was tired, that's why I didn't try to recover the IDE drive, a good decision, because I made mistakes when I tried to repair the USB stick, but reading again my notes in longhand, I didn't make any mistakes before the USB stick and the IDE drive failed and I wasn't tired when the devices get broken, but before each of the devices failed, I run the beta3 installers partitioner. Okay, a mistake like 'step' seems to be strange, but it won't, if you know a lot of OSs and program languages. Independently of what was the cause when the devices failed (me or anything else) and independently of my mistakes today, there is one question: What might be the cause for 'dd: writing to `/dev/sdc': Input/output error'? Why seems dd to be fine when I only overwrote the MBR? I'll stop doing anything now, I'm to tired, I made mistakes, even if I didn't made any serious mistakes. I need to reboot into my 'office suite Lenny' and then into my stable 64 Studio 2.1 Etch 64bit. I won't do anything, but (surfing) and run '# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc' and let it run for hours ;). Cheers, Ralf
