Error mounting NTFS drive from Ubuntu

I came across a new problem, at least for me, in ubuntu 14.04, while trying to mount the NTFS drives. It was just saying that I did not turned off windows system properly and therefore the filesystem is corrupt. I could mount the file system in the readonly mode.

sudo mount -t "ntfs" -ro "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda3" "/media/bidur/d"

For that, I have to create a new directory beforehand i.e. "/media/bidur/d".

Just now, I came across a way to deal with the problem by using ntfsfix commad:

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda3

Python : split any file (binary) to different pieces and join them

This python program takes an input file and then splits it into different smaller chunks. Next it can collect all the different chunks and join it to get the original file. -------------------------------------------------------- # define the function to split the file into smaller chunks def splitFile(inputFile,chunkSize): #read the contents of the file f = open(inputFile, 'rb') data = f.read() # read the entire content of the file f.close() # get the length of data, ie size of the input file in bytes bytes = len(data) #calculate the number of chunks to be created noOfChunks= bytes/chunkSize if(bytes%chunkSize): noOfChunks+=1 #create a info.txt file for writing metadata f = open('info.txt', 'w') f.write(inputFile+','+'chunk,'+str(noOfChunks)+','+str(chunkSize)) f.close() chunkNames = [] for i in range(0, bytes+1, chunkSize): fn1 = "chunk%s...

Display dynamic content in Google Earth using KML

Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is a xml standard which can be used to define what and how to present geographic data in Google Earth and Google Maps. Useful examples to start can be browsed via https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kml_tut . I have to display KML data in googleearth. And the KML file has to be loaded dynamically and the updates in the kml file should be shown in the googleearth on the fly. For this we have to Create a Network Link. Goto Add -> Network Link Then specify the details as shown in the figure. To specify the frequency of updating the data, go to Refresh tab. The code for dynamicKML.kml is as follows: junk.kml onInterval 5 Note that, we are using a local file junk.kml ( junk.kml and dynamciKML.kml reside in the same directory) to define the content to be displayed in the google earth interface. This can even be a remote file in which case we have t...
