Fedora 17 - HDD Data Recovery - Cannot Mount - dd_rescue Tutorial - Featured

Hey All,

I was recently asked to have a look at a Hard Drive which would no longer work on windows or linux. It didnt appear to have a head crash, but when it was plugged into a windows machine it would only show up as a raw partition. A Linux machine was not able to mount the drive due to a problem with the Partitioning Table. The next logical step was to try to pull all the data off the HDD and try to salvage the files. To accomplish this I found a great little linux tool called dd_rescue.

Lost-Old-LEGO-Instructions-Featured

Hey everyone,

It’s been a while since I have made a post, so I thought I would let you know about this great new site I found. Recently I gave all my old LEGO I had as a child to my son. As you would expect after 15+ years, all the old instructions for building the sets are either missing or badly damaged. I wondered if there would be a catalogue of old scanned LEGO instructions online somewhere. and I found it. YAY!

My First Wine AppDB Submission - Batman Arkham City Harley Quinns Revenge Featured

Since I have been using Fedora for a few months and I’m an avid gamer, getting games running is not as straight forward as initially thought. I have been having a lot of fun (if you can call it that) trying to get windows games running on linux. To help out fellow linux users I decided to post my test and trials to the Wine AppDB.

Fedora 17 - Automatic Yum Update Bash Script via Crontab

Today I finally got around to making a Fedora 17 Linux Bash Script to automate my yum updates. It’s been on my todo list for a few months since I migrated over to Fedora 17. This simple bash script will firstly update yum itself, then it will run a complete system update. Everything will be logged to a file for verification at a later date.

V8 Supercars - Whincup & Dumbrell Win Bathurst Featured

I’m sure a few of you watched it live, and what a race it was. Nail biting right down the final lap. A fitting 50th anniversary of the Holden and Ford battle around Mount Panorama. With over 207,000 spectators visiting the circuit over the last few days, this 6 hour endurance race was right down to the line with Holden in 1st and Ford in 2nd. I’m glad I watched the whole race. A real day in V8 supercars racing history.

Just Released - Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse - Featured

Sharon just sent me this link to the brand new Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse. WoW. How intense does it look? But I’m not sure if I want one. Seems like a lot more buttons for Damon to fiddle with and break, Lol. It is still a very nice looking device and the custom coloured lights are a very nice finishing touch.

Fedora 17 PlayOnLinux - Can't find 32bit OpenGL libraries - Nvidia - Featured

On my Fedora 17 Linux box the other day I reverted my 64bit Nvidia Graphics Card  Drivers back to the default Nouveau Drivers for testing. After I did the testing I reinstalled the Nvidia Graphics Card Drivers. Unfortunately, the removal of the 64bit Nvidia Drivers also removed the 32bit Nvidia Graphics Card Drivers. It took me a few google searches to find the correct library to install to rectify this issue.
