30GB ZIF Hitachi drive in Creative Zen Vision M
by Max Pyziur 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

I have a Creative Zen Vision M that has a ZIF Drive (so it's described on the Internet). It seems that iPods and competitors like the Creative Zen Vision M had a disk drive falling into the general category of ZIF. About a year ago, the device stopped working (wouldn't start). However, when I plugged it in to recharge, the drive was definitely spinning. Youtube has enough videos describing how to disassemble the device, and Amazon has caddies for the drive so that you can plug it into a USB port. I got one of the caddies, placed the drive into it, connected the cable, and the drive can be seen when doing lsusb. But its not mountable given whatever instructions I have been able to find. I do get the following descriptions when I issue #> smartctl -i -d scsi -T permissive /dev/sdc smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-5.4.15-200.fc31.x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: HTC42603 Product: 0G5CE00 User Capacity: 30,005,821,440 bytes [30.0 GB] Logical block size: 512 bytes scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=4 offset=4 bd_len=0 > > Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page The size is 30GB. Reading from the label on the disk: Hitachi hard disk drive Model: HTC426030G5CE00 (a match) Attn Travelstar 30GB 4200 rpm APR-06 Is there a way to mount this drive in order to recover the data?

Aplay no play -
by Bob Goodwin 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

This is a re-installed Fedora 31 updated. I don't understand why aplay is not producing a test sound. [root@Workstation-1 bobg]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 0), but by uid 1000! (This could e.g. happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.) ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused aplay: main:828: audio open error: Connection refused What does this mean and how do I fix it? -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, Fedora Linux-31 XFCE

Authentication is required to mount /dev/fedora_localhost-live/home
by Patrick O'Callaghan 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

I get the above every time I log in, with a pop-up asking for my password. It never used to happen on F30 but I created a new installation for F31 and it's been nagging me ever since. I also don't know why it talks about fedora_localhost-live as I've never installed Fedora from a live image. This install used LVM, against my better judgement, so that may have something to do with it. This is under KDE, if it matters, and the pop-up just talks about "an application needing authentication", without saying which application. Any thoughts? poc
