Can I get this please?

Yes I give up. There's no way I can get this to work :(

2 days on and still no change. I've updated the post before this with the status. Any help to my comments above would be appreciated.

Ok, anyway am way into it to pull back now :)
Here's an update: I had to shut down my PC. I saved the log file off as that is needed to recommence the recovery (else it will start from the...

Just noticed this at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html
It says:



If that is true, does that mean I shouldn't be running it on my disk?

Here's mine:

1) Ubuntu 15.04
2) HP
3) HP pavilion 11-n024tu
4) Had to format the entire disk. However the showstopper is that it doesn't power off or reboot. Both get stuck and I have to...

thanks sandy. I'll leave it for half a day. Hope I get something out of it. I only ask because fdisk -l hangs and I couldn't see the partition for the device (e.g. sdd1) anywhere. I'll report back in...

Thank you, I figured it out too after a bit after googling:

sudo apt-get install gddrescue and it's installed now. Do note: the command is ddresuce, package is gddrescue.

Anyway moving...

Getting data off the disk ASAP is what I am trying to do. I do have another disk with a larger capacity. I need to at least mount the disk to get data off of it - I can't seem to do that. Anyway...

I have a portable disk that seems to have bad sectors. I am trying to mount it in my Live Ubuntu session but it doesn't even show up.

Doing a demsg gives me:

Am I the ONLY user who doesn't have an .Xauthority file in his home folder and yet can't still login?
And how in the WORLD did the Ubuntu guys manage to release code that is a MAJOR showstopper? I...

I was able to login via CTRL+ALT+F1 but I see no .Xauthority file :(

Thanks, i did do this but I see no .Xauthority file in my home dir (Yes i did ls -a). Is that where I should be looking? /home/username/ I see no .Xauthority file, am able to login via tty1 with...

I don't understand. The whole reason this thread was started was because we're unable to login to my normal user. How then can I "Then login under your profile." If I could do that I wouldn't be...

And did you? Were you able to recover anything? I can't login too..

Why did it appear in the Ubuntu Update Centre (or whatever it's called)?? I thought that was only for Stable releases. Like Windows Update. I assumed it was safe and went ahead updated. And now I...

It's a beta upgrade? But i got the alert via Update Manager asking me to update to 11.1 :(

I upgraded to 11.1 and I got a screen asking me to login. I've not got this before, but anyway I entered by root password but it doesn't seem to recognize it. I cannot access any files! Anybody...

Wow that worked! All I wanted to was delete the offending folder and it did! Thank you cmcanulty

I am running the latest version of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 11.04) which i setup as a dual boot OS with Windows XP SP3. I was listening to my MP3s using the Banshee music player on Ubuntu. My MP3s reside on an...

Does this mean mounting a Windows parititon in ubuntu is a problem? I do that all the time..

I've run into the same problem. I deleted some MP3 files via the Banshee music player. It left a file named ".fuse_hidden0000041b00000017" which I an unable to delete (either via Windows or Ubuntu...
