Hi, I am using mkisofs to create a copy of a DVD. But this command is unable to to create an ISO due to read error. The DVD works fine .. all study material works perfectly. Is there any security mechanism added in the DVD so that it can not be copied? Is there any way to create a RAW copy of DVD? Thanks, Richard Victor Correia PH: +91 9004911199

running script only if USB is mounted
by Kshitiz 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Hello friends I use rsync to copy my incremental data to an external harddisk every 5 minutes using cron. However, if the external harddisk, connected to the USB port is disconnected, the root partition fills up. I need your help to create a proper script that does the following: Before running the rsync copying script, I want to a) Add some statement that would check if the external harddisk is attached and mounted. b) If not, it should be mounted before the copying script is run to copy only to this external disk. c) If it is not mounted, mount should be attempted, and if it does not mount, rsync copying command should not be executed. Is there any better way to do this? Under no circumstances, I want the rsync script to execute if the USB connection is not active. Regards and thank you all in advance Kshitiz

Help required in setting up Pacenet connection in Ubuntu10.10
by gautam verma 01 Dec '10

Hi, I have been trying to connect pacenet from Ubuntu for a week but hadn't found any success. I goggled on this stuff and have tried all the things told but yet always the chap authentication fails. The link from which i took help is: http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Broadband_Pacenet <http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Broadband_Pacenet>I have generated encrypted password and used it. But i was unable to understand how to "Setup your LAN card using your preferred GUI or terminal utility. I used the GUI utility *System > Administration > Networking*. Enter your private IP address, net mask and gateway". On giving command sudo pppoe-discovery , it shows me pacenet as the only Access-Concentrator. Can anyone plz help me out? because right now i am doing programming on windows and it is frustrating as it is slows and not that much friendly. Thanks in advance, Note: I can put output of my all files that are required but as this is first mail so i am just withholding until i get someone who has been running pacenet on Ubuntu. -- Yours Sincerely , Gautam Verma , ASE, CGI India . office : 022-66088093, mob- 7208529739
