[Bug 288797] Re: [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages

2008-11-01 Thread clem-vangelis
I also have this bug on a fresh intrepid install...running sudo update-
apt-xapian-index solve the problem , but since normal users will not
come here to see the fix , I believe it importance should be more than
medium.

I Forgot to mention that the value Power_On_Hours is equal to :
Power_On_Hours  0x0032   100   100   000Old_age   Always   -
   348644
but i have my latop for 1 year now and in one year we have 365 day of 24 h thus 
we have 8760 hours in a year according to  Power_On_Hours value my laptop will 
be running for 39 years ! i believe it's impossible... anyway if the value 
Load_Cycle_Count is correct i have to backup all my data...

yes i think it's not only an ubuntu problem, maybe we have to report it
on another bugtracker ? ( umount ? linux-kernel ? )

that's really strange 'cause i have exactly the same hardrive ( western
digital passport II 160G ) and i don't have this kind of problem,  i
copied a lot of avis on it and no one  of them has disapearred after
unmounting it . anyway in a "normal" shutdown for this disk it have to
park head and stop cylinders and actually this is not the case , i think
this issue could be dangerous for the harddrive itself , i hope devs
will have a look at this bug.

[Bug 117713] Re: not proper dismounting for WD passport harddrive (making noise when unplug)

2007-06-12 Thread clem-vangelis
i actually didn't notice this problem and i always unmount my hardrive
using this script: ( of course change /dev/sdb1 by your harddrive )

#!/bin/sh
pumount /dev/sdb1
#wait for mtab to be updated
sleep 3
#we search an occurency of our harddrive in mtab
UMOUNT=`grep '/dev/sdb1' /etc/mtab | wc -c`
if [ $UMOUNT -eq 0 ]
then
   #we sync the harddrive
   sdparm --command=sync /dev/sdb1
   #we can spindown the hardrive
   sdparm --command=stop /dev/sdb1
   zenity --info --title="Info" --text="You can unplug your Hardrive !"
else
   zenity --error --title="Info" --text="It seems your harddrive isn't 
unmounted , unmount it then try again"
fi

you can modify it by adding  this at the start :
#unmount
pumount /dev/sdb1
#mount
pmount /dev/sdb1
#unmount
pumount /dev/sdb1

 it use pmount , sdparm and zenity ( sudo aptitude install pmount zenity
sdparm ) then simply make it executable and launch it

[Bug 117713] not proper dismounting for WD passport harddrive (making noise when unplug)

2007-05-30 Thread clem-vangelis
Public bug reported:

Try to dismount a USB external Western digital passport harddrive , it
will be ok but the cylinders will be still rotating , then if you unplug
your hardrrive it'll do a strange noise like a violent hard drive
parking. ( in Microsoft windows the eject the device safely option stop
the heads ) at the moment the only solution to stop properly the hard
drive is tu use sdparm , here is the script :

#!/bin/sh
WD=/dev/sdb1
sudo umount $WD
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo Stopping heads
#Stop properly the heads and cylinders
sdparm --command=stop $WD 
else
echo Unmount Failed !
fi
