Maybe a corrupt filesystem? I seldom see this kind of behaviour without there being a corrupt filesystem. It won’t harm you to run “****” on the volume, if for no other reason than to be at ease of mind. Sorry if I was a bad news bearer. Hope that helps. Ziyad. EDIT: The forum software censored the ...

Outside of the three Tier1 board manufacturers (Asus, Gigabyte, MSI) who all make decent quality stuff you actually have limited choice from only two other manufacturers, at least that's the case with Nvidia: ⋅ Palit also sells under the KFA/Galaxy/Gainward labels. These are generally the...

If it’s not Flash, but plain HTML5 video (Ogg/Ogm/MP4), then you could disable the auto–play feature from “about:config” then searching for “media.autoplay.enabled” and setting it to false. Wont lose anything for trying (you could, and should, revert the setting to its default value if it didn’t hel...

Try:(Note the -lc!)

Hope that helps.

For what it’s worth: It didn’t work on an–almost–up–to–date MPlayer2 (a fork of MPlayer), with FFmpeg that was just compiled yesterday from Git (revision N-50552-g8cc5481) (FFmpeg is the important part here). Here’s what it outputs: MPlayer2 2.0-712-gd3c5801 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team Cannot open fi...

Actually, hi–quality JPEGs are compress–able (using general purpose, loss–less algorithms, like the ones used in ZIP, RAR, and 7zip files); PNG are not compress–able (unless they were created using a lousy application/library).

Try it for yourself.

Thank you for the link.

The reason I sorted the list is so that you can subsequently use the "diff" command to compare the hash lists for two directory hierarchies, to instantly identify all files that differ or have been added/removed. Good point. Being "diff"-friendly is also the reason for the "...

#!/bin/bash find . -xdev -type f -or -type l | sort | xargs --delimiter=\\n md5sum -b Why not: find . -xdev -type f -or -type l -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum -b That’s much more robust and elegant. (I ignored the “sort” command as it’s not really needed.) By the way: The “-b” parameter to “md5sum” is n...

(I never used “rsyncd”, so be warned…) You’re, most likely, better off using “exclude from” rule and putting everything in that file. For example: [path_to_share] path = /mnt/samba/path_to_share exclude from = /var/lib/rsyncd/my_exclude_rules in “/var/lib/rsyncd/my_exclude_rules” you have something ...

Don’t know if it’s accurate… but thank you!

I learned new things from that PDF file (the size is about 7.5MiB, for the curios).

The problem is that nice can only raise priority of a process if you have administrator privilege, and wine apparently gets upset if it is not running as the user who owns the directory where its config files are kept. Both of these are sensible security measures, but they're getting in the way of ...

CPU overheating?

Try running a CPU‑intensive application right after a clean boot (while the CPU is still cool) and see if that happens always and faster. (You could try installing the software that came with your main‑board to monitor the CPU’s temperature.)

Hope that helps.

If you want to give your current user full access to the drive you need to do (in a terminal): sudo chown username:username /PATH/TO/USBDRIVE (Where username is the login name you use to log-in to your system, and /PATH/TO/USBDRIVE is where your USB drive is mounted. Here's an example from my system...
