This is true, but EIDE and SATA drives use Logical Block Addressing -- the on-drive circuitry remaps requests to actual blocks on disk. It is normal in such drives that the drive itself detects and remaps bad blocks, and drives reserve some spare capacity for such remapping. This means that the OS should never see any bad blocks at all. The drive should remap and hide them. So, if any appear, it's because the drive has so many bad blocks that all the reserve capacity has been exhausted. This almost always means that the drive has severe physical damage to the medium, and as such, is probably on the brink of failure. Summary: if you format a drive and it reports any bad blocks at all, don't use it. Replace it immediately. If it's new, get a warranty replacement; if it's old, discard it. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR) -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Unusable to work with. As I replied to Neil R's question on this: [Copied & Pasted] Apply the standard Linux steps for display corruption: switch to text mode and back. I.e., Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to a text vconsole, and then Ctrl-Alt-F7 back to the X.org screen. If you're running in VirtualBox, then as you should already know, these keystrokes go to the host OS, so you need to use the VBox host key instead of Ctrl-Alt. I did this, the display cleared, I installed as normal, updated, and all was well. I then installed the VBox guest additions so I got an accelerated display. > If people cant view a LiveCD in a VM that's not very conveniant for them.

How did you make your bootable media? I am downloading another copy to try it myself. Also, what version of VBox are you using? 5.1 is out now. You can either download it from the website, or add the repositories and install it that way (which is preferable and means you get automatic updates.)

Re: [lubuntu-users] 16.04.1 32 Live VBOX
Hi Liam, i'll reply in-line (and try to make less typos this time) But the LiveCD doesn't have guest additions inside. Not sure. Some live media are VM-aware. Ok! Ehm Is Lubuntu VM aware?? Maybe there is an issue regarding VBOX? i'll dig around and try to fin And this still doen't explain why - the LIVE environment runs in 649x480 - the installer runs in 800x600 They don't for me. Same resolution. H Is your VBOX on Windows, Mac or Linux? Mine is running on Lubuntu. Both without any guest additions :-) not sure what i'm missing... I can't install Guest additions in a LiveCD, can I? Tricky. Might be possible, actually, if you create a Live USB key with persistent storage, add the graphics drivers and *don't reboot*, just restart X.org. I've done this successfully with an Ubuntu Live USB on bare metal but with an nVidia display that didn't work usably without proprietary drivers. It was tricky but it did work. Hehe now i need to think.. how do i boot a persistent ISO in VBOX? You mean i need to flash an ISO with pwersistence on a phisical USB and then boot the VM from that USB? I hadn't concidered that option yet. :-D I'll give it a try the Guest Additions are only for the VM. A live CD runs in the VM, but i cant install Guest Additions before i boot. hehe what am i not seeing here? Well, mainly, what does it matter what res it runs at? Install it and then you'll never see it again, so why is it important? Because the 640x480 resolution does not display correct in my case. And since others also have issues when trying to run a Live CD in a VM ... Well could this be related?? in 640x480 i see something like 1280x480 all garbled. Unusable to work with. If people cant view a LiveCD in a VM that's not very conveniant for them. I mean people try LiveCD's to see how they work before they install the OS, If the live CD does not work, then they skip the OS and try something else. OR they get frustrated and bash into this mail list etc. Understandable but sometimes annoying. And we might be missing the point of their frustrations. (A bit like Monty Pythons dead parrot sketch) But OK, so VBOX does not force this, aaah ofcourse, the installer also manages to run in 800x600, so why doesnt the Live environment then use 800x600... The installer manages to use 800x600 straight from the boot menu. For me, it boots into the GUI *then* it asks whether you want to install or try. I am curious what you are doing that is different. AH wait It boots into the menu, there we can choose to load LIVE or INSTALL When i load LIVE, then i get a garbled 640x480 resolution stretched to 1280x480. when i load the INSTALLER then the installer displays correctly in 800x600 mode.

Re: [lubuntu-users] 16.04.1 32 Live VBOX
If you want clear images and better performance you must install Guest Additions when using VirtualBox. I'm not telling you this, it is written on VBox Manuals: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html Citing: "They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability. (...) While the virtual graphics card which VirtualBox emulates for any guest operating system provides all the basic features, the custom video drivers that are installed with the Guest Additions provide you with extra high and non-standard video modes as well as accelerated video performance.

[lubuntu-users] 16.04.1 32 on a Compaq EVO d530
I popped a USB stick into a EVO d530 and booted. i picked try Lubuntu without installing and then the phone rang... And i also made a cup of tea. And totally forgot about the machine. Then when I came back and sat down, all of a sudden i see boot messages and the desktop loads... So it just took a VERY long time to get trough the boot process. On this P4 with HT. Now going to install to HD... Meanwhile I'm going slightly crazy with so many different machines. :-) -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Re: [lubuntu-users] Trouble installing 16.04 via live USB, hard drive prob?
Thanks guys, appreciate the help. My problem is solved. It seems I should have formatted the partition first before installing. But it also seems like the live USB had something to do with the installation problem as well. (I created another live USB using the latest 16.04.1). Sorry for the confusion, I meant "clean install", NOT clean upgrade. I do know the meanings and the difference between clean install and upgrade. The disk is 1TB, but the partition for lubuntu installation is 40gb only. Before the installation (or right after formatting the partition to ext4), 800mb of space was already used up. I asked if the 800mb initial used space is normal. The "Try Lubuntu without installing" did NOT work indeed, only the "Install Lubuntu". I know because I tried it. That's why I created another live USB, but this time with 16.04.1 (the latest). So now both tasks are possible. Anyway, moot points. The system is working. Thanks again guys!
