Re: fdisk complains about geometry of a disk image
2009/1/3 Amos Shapira amos.shap...@gmail.com: 2009/1/3 sara fink sara.f...@gmail.com: Recently I searched for diskimage programs and came across this program http://www.dubaron.com/diskimage/ but I haven't tried it. That program is for windows. I have access only to linux for that matter. There are other 2 programs for linux which you might consider and they are for linux. Clonezilla (I wasn't succesful with that, due to other reasons, but might work for you) and the 2nd option which I prefer is g4u. g4u you rescue to ftp server. upload the files to a ftp server. This might help. I will try later today g4u and tell you. I use g4u to backup ntfs filesystems. My problem is with (what appears to be) a currupt media. Clonezilla and g4u are sort of backup programs. That's why I think ddrescue is the right tool - it just keeps trying to read each and every block on the device and skip over blocks which can't be read even after a few retries. As for your questions: What makes you think that if you put another usb hd you will start from 137 and up? No, I don't think I need another USB hd, I think I need another external IDE-USB enclosure with an IDE/ATA controller which can support 200Gb, to read the last part of my defective disk. Now that I packed the USB box to give it back to the shop, I noticed that it claims to support drives up to 500Gb. It also comes with a (Windows?) driver mini-CD. Could it be that Windows screwed up some parameters on the disk itself to disable it from supporting 137Gb? Is there something I can change (especially though the USB cable, as I don't have a working P-ATA chassis handy)? To recover file names try to look here: http://forums.getdata.com/computer-data-recovery/90-why-cant-recover-filenames.html Maybe their program will help. as for identifying the file name in the gz file, might be tricky. Usually the file name appears in the first line (header). So in general cat of the I see that the gzip format indeed contains the original file name in the header. I don't see a way to view this using the gzip/gunzip tools. Maybe I'll have to resort to Perl script for that, I was hoping I'll be able to avoid that. :( After reading this I though (and later confirmed) that using gnu tar's z argument probably means that the gzip compression function inside tar see an unnamed input stream and therefore won't record the file name in the header (fixing this might be a nice feature to add to gnu tar - put filename.tar less the .gz, or convert .tgz to .tar, in the files 'Name' attribute). The following little perl script confirmed this: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; #use Data::Dumper::Simple; use IO::Uncompress::Gunzip qw($GunzipError); for my $filename (@ARGV) { my $z = new IO::Uncompress::Gunzip $filename or die $filename: $GunzipError; my $hdr = $z-getHeaderInfo(); my $name = defined($hdr-{Name}) ? $hdr-{Name} : (undefined); print \$name\\n; # print Dumper($hdr); } exit 0; Run it with: $ find . -name *.gz | xargs read-gzip-header.pl All .gz files retrieved by photorec had undefined Name attribute.

[Herzelinux] Eitan Isaacson on Accerciser - 15 Minutes A Day For Better Accessibility
Hi all, This is a reminder that on Thursday, Thursday, Jan 8 2009 at 18:30, Herzlinux will host Eitan Isaacson lecture entitled: Accerciser - 15 Minutes A Day For Better Accessibility The lecture topics: - Introduction to accessibility - Basic testing - Introduction to GNOME's accessibility framework - Introduction to Accerciser - Simple debugging example - The last mile to the screen reader About the presenter: Eitan is employed by the Mozilla foundation to driver better accessibility in Open Source software. In addition, we have the following line up of upcoming lectures: - Thu Jan 29 18:30: Smart House using Linux by Jonathan Kopel. - Thu Feb 19 18:30: Drupal CMS byLior Kesos from Linnovate ltd. - Date yet undetermined: Lissa Sterling about developing Cellular applications. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteer presenters without which Herzelinux would not have been possible and to invite people reading this consider joini their ranks - so drop me a note with your preferred Open Source or Linux topic today :-) Herzel-what? Herzelinux is a Linux Linux user group. It's aim is to try to bridge the gap between professional Linux programmers working for Hi tech companies and the Linux Open Source community and bring them into the fold. As such: - The meeting topics will tend towards the advance technical stuff which is of interest to professional programmers. - The meeting takes place in Herzelia Pituch (Maskit 27, In hi-tech College - there's a map on the site), a short walking distance from most of Silicon Wadi companies, to the pleasure of the lazy Hi Tech bums :-) Other then that it's just yet anther LUG, like Haifux and Telux, whose format we're basically mimicking (read: most sincere form of flattery and so on...) Needless to say, it's free, both in speech and in coffee (not very good coffee but it's provided for free by Hi tech College so we shouldn't complain) and you are all invited. In fact, I'd truly appreciate if you can spread the word and invite fellow programmers working on Linux which are not alpha Linux geeks.

Da$n, I just tried to view channel 1 via Mazrim by Ilan Shavit ( http://mazrim.sourceforge.net/ ), and it works on my ubuntu - apparently we are now in Gaza with 4 dead soldiers by now :-( (Excuse me for the political flash, please ignore... but the tv is working.) Indeed I heard about this project a few months ago but forgot about it. I installed it and asked to watch Channel 1 but it got stuck after about a minute of playing. --Amos = To unsubscribe, send mail to linux-il-requ...@cs.huji.ac.il with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail linux-il-requ...@cs.huji.ac.il
