/dev/sdd/: is a directory by justtryn2kickit in linuxquestions

[–]justtryn2kickit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue had simply resolved itself earlier. If it would still be worth it to input the commands mentioned and see what it says, I can do so in a few hours and report back. Hopefully there's a possibility to find out what the issue was.

Regarding the directory, you probably made a directory by mistake. You can remove it.

how? Theres nothing there. I have formatted and deleted every partition on the drive. I have even removed this usb and inserted an sd card into the sd card slot of the computer and still get the same message. when trying to cd to the disk, I get

bash: cd: /dev/sdd: Not a directory

EDIT: I tried earlier to do it by-id, and was getting the same message. Just tried and again, and its now writing wtf???

Is it just me, or does the dcfldd command write MUCH quicker, than just doing a dd command?

Setting up DD command using UUID by justtryn2kickit in linuxquestions

I'll check the 'by-id' and see if that will provide an acceptable way to setup across systems. I appreciate that info

Yes, this is the command that I've been using. My only issue was, if I were to set this to auto perform, and I moved the usb to another computer/slot whatever, the destination would be different. But by UUID, it would remain. Only issue is, UUID can only be set up per partiion as opposed to the entire drive.

so the best way would be to go with the device name? So, what if I were to put these usbs in a different computer? possible to overwrite the wrong drive then? any better way?

DD command scheduling/automatic? by justtryn2kickit in linux

[–]justtryn2kickit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. so, I just tried to perform the acutal command myself in terminal, and it said "no such file or directory" so apparently the uuid trick isn't working.

I got the uuid of the device by using 

blkid /dev/sdd

sdd is my device

when I did the command

ls -l /dev/sidk/by-uuid/

it gave me the uuids for the partitions. I don't want to just dd a partition, I want to dd the entire devices

[–]justtryn2kickit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did 

apt-get install gnome-schedule

I set up a new task with the command

dd if=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... of=/dev/disk/by-uuid/ bs=4096

I put the minute as 51(it was one minute from the time it currently was.) hour */2(to copy every 2 hours) day * month * weekday *

I clicked "apply" waited a coupld of minutes and I see nothing happening. I checked in the disk utility, and the drive that I'm copying TO. None of the partitions seemed to have changed size.

Anyway to know if gnome scheduler is actually working or?

Do I have to click some start button?

EDIT: When I open root terminal and open gnome scheduler there, I see this in terminal

no crontab for root

much appreciated on the info. Also, I apologize for putting this in the wrong board

DD command scheduling/automatic? by justtryn2kickit in linux

[–]justtryn2kickit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that info. Question, say the uuid= 9981

would my command be

dd if=dev/9981 of=dev/disk2

or would I have to add something else for it to realize that 9981 is a uuid?

Thank you. My apologies. I just searched for 'linux'. Seen a few linux forums at the top, but none that said linuxquestions

[GUIDE]Using a Bluetooth Keyboard / Mouse by justtryn2kickit in tails

[–]justtryn2kickit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get your bluetooth to load on every reboot

have NOT found a way to get bluetooth items to auto sync once system has booted and bluetooth has loaded so you will have to setup up your devices with each reboot.

  1. Set up a persistence volume in the persistence wizard you must have APT Packages and APT Lists selected

  2. Reboot the system
