  1. I'm running the latest Ubuntu distro and am having a problem with a micro SD card.

    Its an 8gig card I use for my DSlite. I use it in a cycloDS card.

    I plugged it into a windows system and there was no problem at all, but when I plugged it into my laptop it was read only.

    I did some googling and none of the solutions i found fixed anything. So here is a short list of what I've tried.

    There is no lock switch on the card.

    There is no lock switch on the adapter.

    The card did not have one of those breakable tabs to begin with.

    "sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/[card]" returned an error.

    The error returned was not "No such location" or anything similar to that (dont remember what it was and dont have the card atm)

    If you have any idea why it is showing up as read only please let me know. Ive got gigs of media to transfer and my external HD is slow and i dont want to have to transfer it to the hd and then to a windows system.

  2. i was using the clone remover tool by moleskinsoft when i had windows but since i wiped my hd and switched to linux only i havent been able to find a good program like that.

    im wanting a program to find duplicate images. clone remover worked well because it found similar images as well as copies. it would search the image content and find images that were only different in size or differences in quality.

    ive been using fslint but it only finds exact duplicates. a resize isnt picked up. any suggestions?

  3. still dont know how to change the workspaces but i have found a good guide to unity.

    http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html

    hope that helps someone. i shrunk my launcher icons to the smallest size and things are much nicer now

    edit:

    oh and i found if you right click on the applications icon in the sidebar itll give you a list like it did in gnome. makes things easier to find

    edit2:

    actually that first program can edit workspaces. its under general settings. verticle size sets rows and horizontal size sets columns

  4. i downloaded it and am loving it for the most part. I like unity. takes a lot of getting used to and ive switched back and forth between it and gnome a few times to make sure i could access everything.

    i just wish i knew how to make some changes. adding an extra 2 workspaces (i use 2 rows 3 columns), adding shortcuts to the shortcut menu (top left of screen), and it would be really nice to have the "places" menu from gnome again so i can mount get to files easier

  5. I recently had fatal issues with my vista installation. I could not fix the problem with anything i could think of nor the aid of google so i just backed up all my files (thanks to an external drive and my ubuntu studio installation) and reformatted my entire harddrive and repartitioned it.

    I made 4 partitions.

    2 ext3. 15gig each

    1 swap. 2gig

    1 ext2. remainder of the 150gig

    the first ext3 i used for ubuntu. i want to use the second for mint.

    the ext2 is a large neutral storage area for the 2 operating systems.

    and the swap is for the extra memory. i have a bad habit of keeping multiple programs open weather im making use of them or not and from what ive read it will help.

    the first problem is that i cant get mint to install. i cant boot into the installation disc. i open the boot menu when i reboot and choose the cd but after a few seconds of reading it just loads ubuntu. doesnt even start grub (which it seems i need to manually install it too). my guess is the disc is corrupt in one way or another. im downloading another copy and reburning as i type so just ignore this one for now. burned a new disc. cd version this time. worked perfectly and installed just fine. fixed grub too.

    the second problem is the error with my windows partition caused the computer to crash meaning that i couldnt get back in to do things like exporting playlists and bookmarks. i dont mind loosing playlists as i rebuild them regularly anyway and do that mostly from my phone. but i had a lot of bookmarks saved and those i cant lose. i backed up the "program files" firefox folder as well as the appdata folder for my user. i just need to know what file contains the bookmarks and how to get to them imported into my firefox in ubuntu and mint.

    and the 3rd is just a question. i never got around to learning anything indepth when it came to bash and terminal. i just learned how to do basic things (copy paste, su, sudo, apt-get, etc, etc, etc) but as im going to be using linux exclusively for a few months (until i can get a new laptop) id like to know more about it. does anyone knwo of a good source of information and tutorials on using the linux terminal and writing bash scripts? answered

    ty in advance for any help

  6. I'd say there isn't any simple way other than just using a media player of some sort to put them all into a library that cna auto update the info via the web.

    Personally, I would do a recursive search for all *.mp3 and *.flac files, then move their parent directories in groups to a single music folder. Then consolidate, delete and organize them from one central location.

    I have all my music in one folder, and its over 20GB by itself so I know it can be a daunting task to organize your music when there are thousands of files.

    yeah thats probably what im going to end up doing. im deleting a lot first though. im going through winamp and removing the files from the hdd. going alphabetically by artist so i can keep track and get it done of the course of a few days. about 230 songs down and in the D's lol

  7. i have 2.2k songs according to winamp (just audio)

    im going through them 1 by 1 tonight and deleting a lot and replacing low quality tracks.

    problem is a lot of my music is indie music given freely and its all in separate locations on my computer thanks to having moved my collection through 4 different computers. so the media files are in a terrible file system used during transport.

    im wondering if anyone knows of a program that will scan my harddrive for audio files (i only use mp3 and flac), create a "music" folder containing several subfolders for each artist and subfuloders within those with the albums. something that could read the id3 tags would be nice since im also correcting tags tonight.

    id like a program that will consolidate and organize my files. something besides itunes because itunes is rather irritating and since ive switched to using my droid for my media player ive gone back to winamp and never want to deal with itunes again.

  8. We're actually in the process of adding a DVD section to our hak5.org/store. We'll be selling all the seasons on DVD plus special features like never before seen bloopers, unaired segments, etc. And we're planning on making them a very reasonable price!

    i gotta say i really miss the end of the episode bloopers. idk if you guys just dont have them anymore or what but they were awesome lol

  9. would be helpful. im still using a core2 duo. hope they get to wok on a laptop processor. imagine a netbook with a ssd, one of those processors, and a proper amount of am (article hints at some being built into the processor). mobile hacking paradise

  10. If I remember correctly.

    you remember correctly

    download your addon. extract the files if its zipped. put the root folder(or folders depending on the addon) into the \interface\addons directory in your WoW folder

    or if you want things easier goto curse.com and download their client for you system. it will download and install the addons to your computer for you and keep you up to date on them

  11. In general terms, what kind of services are you planning on providing, to the end user?

    the one i copy/pasted was specifically for enhancing security through pentesting

    but i do w/e needs to be done

  12. I need a program that will can a folder/HD and locate all duplicate copies of a file. any ideas of a good free one??

    i frequent an image board and use flashgot to download massive amounts of pics at a time and end up with a lot of duplicates with different filenames.

    best tool ive found is clone remover

    http://www.moleskinsoft.com/index.php?p=download

    the free version has a delay before each use (last time i had to wait 90 seconds to use the program) and only allows you to remove 20 files at a time. the program basically scans w/e folders you tell it to for files with the same contents. it will then list those files and you can check off the ones you want to remove and it gives you the option to send them to the recycle bin or remove them completely.

    i use it under the free version. basically it gives me my list. i check off 20 items. remove them. rescan the files. and repeat until i have no more duplicates.

    edit:

    oh good lord i just noticed how old the OP is >.> topic necromancy ftl

  13. There should be one big torrent with all of the episodes, that's not illegal right? Good information has to be kept alive.

    the last time i was active on the forums there was a torrent project aimed at hak5 episodes. but it was carried by 1 member and apparently not enough support to really keep it going.

  14. If you are trying to learn Linux better and it's CLI, I would recommend Unix power tools book, or learn more about Bash, shell scripting, and how to esclate priviledges. I would also recommend to try hacking challenges that a lot of sites offer (wish this one did) but like Hackthissite.org, SANS Netwars, DC3.mil forensics challenges, ect.. they are great for learning. For me I cant just read a book and know everything, I learn kinecticly by practicing.. hope that helps.

    it does atually ive been looking for a good site since hackits.de went down. used to love that place in high school. made it to lt.colonel before they got shut down.

    and im in the same boat as far as how i learn but typically if i have a book i can get a basis of where to begin in the first few chpters and then run with it.

  15. Get a lawyer to read it up and ensure everything is in place, and make sure you don't go outside the scope of your terms.

    ive got a few law student friends ill have look it over before i ever use it but heres the main part.

    and the nda ive got is pretty standard. just tailored for me from one ive had to sign in the past

  16. looks pretty good.

    got my hands on a digital copy of the CEH certification reference manual. its pretty good as well.

  17. Well the only work i have currently is what little contract work i can get around town. stepping in and doing a bit of work for an hourly fee. after the work is done i have nothing to do till the next job pops up.

    i was wondering what kind of paperwork would be a good idea to have employers sign before i start doing work. ive got an nda for them to sign for their benefit if they want to. and ive written up an "Authorization of Access Agreement" that basically grants me the right to access their network or physical locations without any legal ramifications.

    is there anything else i should consider?

  18. knife and pistol is all you need if your pro lol ;) and some nades

    *pure pwnage reference yey*

    usually have an smg for primary to boost runspeed lol. nothing like jumping off a cliff and stabbing a sniper in the back
